About This Item
Middlebury, VT: Breadloaf Printers/Middlebury College Press., 1941. Illustrated with what appear to be wood engravings. "Hand set by the Bread Loaf Printers... When there is not too much distance between the 'high' and the 'low' parts of a culture, the Homeric poem is born, or Beowulf; or in more immediate tradition, Chaucer, who flourishes alongside ballad and carol. Today, what a distance there is between the poems of T.S. Eliot and the thing that passes for popular song. Too much refinement on one side and too low a vulgarization on the other -- it is an unhealthy condition. This book, if it symbolizes a tendency, may suggest our instinctive recoil from such cultural gaps." Contents: Song of the Vermonters; The Indian Student; Beckwith Tragedy; Jonathan's Courtship; The Segar; Bill Hopkins' Colt; Joel Baker; The Hog-Thorny Bear; Hard Times; The Calais Disaster. Notes by Helen Hartness Flanders, Preface by Donald Davidson. 48 pp.. First Trade Edition, Second Printing. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Healy, Arthur. Large 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall.
