Hoar, OXFORD EAGLE, Oxford Mississippi, 25 Nov. 1950; Volume II, Page 1,155) • FEATURING LETTERS TO:• JULIAN HUXLEY• WALTER LIPPMANN• CHARLES SCRIBNER• MAXWELL PERKINS• SHERWOOD ANDERSON• ELLA SOMERVILLE • GEORGE JEAN NATHAN• JULIA PETERKIN• ELLEN GLASGOW• UPTON SINCLAIR• DONALD DAVIDSON• KATHERINE SERGEANT WHITE• ALLEN TATE• CAROLINE GORDON• MALCOLM COWLEY• ALEXANDER WOOLLCOTT• JOHN MASON BROWN• ROBERT PENN WARREN • LYLE SAXON • CLIFFORD ODETS• THOMAS WOLFE• MARGARET MITCHELL• ANDREW LYTLE• RUTH FORD• EDMUND GOSSE • FRANCIS FERGUSSON• ERIC BENTLEY• CHARLES HENRI FORD• HUDSON STRODE• EDMUND WILSON• ELIZABETH SPENCER• PAUL GREEN• HORTON FOOTE• MARY HARTWELL SOMERVILLE • ELDON J. HOAR• OTHERS • ABOUT THE AUTHOR:• “STARK YOUNG will be remembered primarily for his drama criticism and his Civil War novel, but his major contribution was to the arts in general. He devoted his life to the arts and belongs to the cultural history of America. Few have equaled his insight into the nature of art, and even fewer have surpassed his achievements. America has never had a drama critic quite like him; and until the theater enjoys another renaissance like the one in the 1920s and the 1930s, it may not see YOUNG’s equal.” —JOHN PILKINGTON • “U.S. author STARK YOUNG had a long and varied career in American letters in the first half of the 20th century. He was an academic as well as a playwright, essayist, and novelist, but it is as a theater critic that he is perhaps best remembered. His thoughtful criticism appeared for over twenty-five years in the NEW REPUBLIC magazine…. His final novel, SO RED THE ROSE (1934), was by far his most successful. It told the story of how the Civil War affected two Southern families. The novel, which one reviewer called ‘a memorial wreath laid before a cherished tradition and a way of life,’ was an immediate hit, selling over 400,000 copies in one month and going through 20 printings. Until the publication OF MARGARET MITCHELL’s GONE WITH THE WIND in 1936, SO RED THE ROSE reigned supreme as America’s most beloved novel of the South.” —ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITIANNICA FOR KIDS (WEBSITE) • “STARK YOUNG was a Mississippi native and a member of the Vanderbilt Fugitive movement. A playwright and critic, He founded the TEXAS REVIEW and was a drama critic for the NEW REPUBLIC. His most famous novel, SO RED THE ROSE, addresses the American Civil War.” —VIRGINIA QUARTERLY REVIEW • “A discerning critic of art and the theater, MR. YOUNG achieved success as a novelist, and, for a quarter of a century, as a drama critic. Much of his writing on the theater appeared in THE NEW YORK TIMES.” —NEW YORK TIMES (1963, AUTHOR’S OBITUARY) • “His judgements reflect poetic perception, solid scholarship, and standards far loftier than Times Square is accustomed to…. His writing…has a depth and substance as rare in the theatre critics as in the theatre itself.” —TIME • “[His] criticism proceeds from a clear judgment fortified by an understanding knowledge of many phases of culture, and it is expressed in prose of unusual richness and freedom. Its warmth of eloquence is something to which, in the foggy, restrained atmosphere of London, we are unaccustomed.” —HAROLD HOBSON, THE SUNDAY TIMES (LONDON) • “The penetration is unerring; the light falls straight on the subject…it contains the essential qualities of imaginative literature; simple fidelity to truth, the strong quiet pulse, like the pulse of life itself, and the sudden light that brings a deeper understanding and an enlargement of vision.” —ELLEN GLASGOW, ON THE AUTHOR’S “SO RED THE ROSE” • “A novel of vital beauty, a hardy romance pitted with realism, filled with tragedy, but told with wit.” —NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW (1931, ON THE AUTHOR’S “SO RED THE ROSE”) • “The loveliest book that has ever come this way of which the South is the theme and the setting.” —NASHVILLE BANNER ON THE AUTHOR’S “SO RED THE ROSE” • “A remarkably fine novel…all done as if the reader were present at it, and the characterization, the arguments, management of the scenes and the discipline of it superb.” —CURRENT LITERATURE (LONDON) ABOUT THE AUTHOR’S “SO RED THE ROSE” • “The writing is impressively vivid as well as sensitive and consistently beautiful…. He is able to discover a moment of loveliness in the most uninteresting day. Let him but transcribe what seems a barren and uneventful happening indeed, and he will make it move as dramatically as a story.” —MANCHESTER WEEKLY GUARDIAN (ENGLAND), ON THE AUTHOR’S “THE THREE FOUNTAINS” • • For other details about the two books in this lot, please see below. • TITLE 1: “A LIFE IN THE ARTS: LETTERS, 1900-1962” VOLUME: I AUTHOR: STARK YOUNG EDITED & INTRODUCED BY: JOHN PILKINGTON TYPE: HARDCOVER PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY (Baton Rouge), 1975 EDITION: FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING* *RE: On the Copyright Page, no later printings are listed.

We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you.3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION ***********DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven’t described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math).
