Condition: Fine
Description: London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1955. First edition. Fine/Fine. Original publisher's blue cloth gilt in dust jacket. A Fine copy of the book in like dust jacket.

It has since been adapted into two films, one in 1958 and another in 2002 starring Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser. Fine in Fine dust jacket.

First English Trade Edition (issued after the American edition and also after a 40-copy private issue of the English galley proofs).

Talbot, a speculator and land agent based in Sioux City, Iowa. "Having but recently made a visit to the state, and with the aid of good, reliable men residing in Texas, we can inform you as near as any one can do that which you may expect to find upon a personal investigation...differing from other portions of the South, [Texas] is blessed with healthful, temperate climate, having a population composed in part of enterprising settlers from all portions of the Northern states. Texas, unlike the old Southern states, is progressive, and is rapidly taking her place among the more advanced states of the Union." The verso offers to make advances on veteran homestead claims, paying cash for claims. Talbot was a land speculator who moved to Sioux City in 1870, where he invested heavily in the area and surrounds, though he lost his fortune in the Panic of 1893. Rare and ephemeral -- we locate two copies in OCLC, at Yale and SMU.

An overall presentable signed first edition of this pioneering work. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This pioneering book introduces a largely unremarked dimension of film, the feminine, which cannot be reduced to womens experience, or to mens projections onto women. The Presence of the Feminine in Film gives body to that often rather loosely formulated Jungian conception, the feminine aspect of psyche, by noticing what feminine turns out to mean in particular cinematic contexts. Spanning seven decadesfrom Pride and Prejudice, Notorious, and Letter from an Unknown Woman to Monsoon Wedding, Brokeback Mountain, and The Lives of Othersthe movies selected for particular study here make it clear that the feminine is at home in the movies, and that when she appears, it is to appeal to our sensibilities as well as to our senses. This is a book that will enhance the appreciation of film as a depth psychological medium.(Publisher).
