BOHEMIAN CLUB, BYNNER, WITTER , WILLIAM MAXWELL, HILDEGARDE FLANNER AND GENEVIEVE TAGGARD

W.B. In California a Tribute

Berkeley, CA: Bohemian Club, 1919. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Paperback. Limited to 400 copies printed for private circulation. This book has illustrated cardstock covers and a sewn and glued spine. The spine ends, corners and edges have rubbing, edge wear, small edge tears, and toning. There is toning to the spine and top edges of the book covers and a small chip to the top front spine joint. The text pages are clean and bright. There is a previous owner's inked gift notation on the front free page. This is a tribute to Witter Bynner. "He had a short spell in academia in 1918–1919 at the University of California, Berkeley. He was hired to teach Oral English to the Students' Army Training Corps as a form of conscientious objector alternative service, and was invited to stay on in the English department after World War I ended to teach poetry. His students included several who became published poets of some note, such as Stanton A. Coblentz, Hildegarde Flanner, Idella Purnell, and Genevieve Taggard.". Very Good .
