Description
New York: Covici Freidi, 1929. First thus. Near Fine. Number 86 of 225 copies of the Victory Edition in two volumes, signed by the author. A Near Fine set with a spot on the front board of volume one and silver gilt on the spines a little rubbed, but generally in excellent condition internally and quite handsome overall. Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness is a ground-breaking novel featuring lesbian relationships and gender nonconformity, which argues that homosexuality (called sexual inversion in the book) is natural and that queer people deserve the right to live openly and happily with their chosen partners. The novel follows Stephen Gordon's life from living in Paris to serving in the ambulance corps during WWI; a journey of self-exploration and a tragic quest for love. Hall engages with both Christianity and developments in Sexology throughout the text to support her argument for equality. Although controversial at its publication (legal hurdles and banning because of its purported "obscene" content), the novel has long been valued for its pioneering portrayal of queer people. Yet, in the decades since its publication, Radclyffe Hall's prose and narrative choices have been critiqued, especially for perpetuating many of the boundaries it could have pushed against. For contemporary readers, the complicated novel also offers a chance to investigate nuances in the main character's sexuality and gender identity through our modern framework. Near Fine.

Description
New York: Franklin Watts, Inc., 1972. Signed by the Author, with Sanibel-Captiva, on ffep. Octavo, gray cloth (hardcover), 149 pp. Very Good, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) in a Very Good dust jacket with edgewear. From dust jacket: The setting for this novel is the future, the immediate future. The main characters are three native American birds -- an eagle, a falcon, and an osprey. These species have not yet vanished from our environment, but unless there are drastic changes in man’s activities, their extinction cannot be far off. Mr. Bancroft tells the individual stories of each of the birds. Their feeding habits and migratory patterns and mating procedures provide fascinating background, but the focus is on the constant battle for survival as the poisons of insecticides creep higher and higher up the food chain. The story is a compelling one, but it is not always pleasant. The reader is able to see how the killing of aphids in a small cornfield by DDT can affect birds and animals hundreds of miles away. The cyclical effect of poisons causing slightly impaired agility in the birds which leads to the seeking of defective prey which in turn leads to further buildup of poisons in their systems is portrayed in a dramatic and enlightening manner. The impact exceeds that of the most alarming scientific treatise on the subject of vanishing species.
