Seller's Description:
8vo. xvi, 263, [1] pp. Green cloth, blue lettering, w/ d.j. silhouette cityscape w/ line-up of figures arm-in-arm at lower fore-edge (minor scuffing, edgewear), still NF/VG copy w/ former ownership markings, signed by contributor Jonathan Forman on ffep. to Dr. Carl P. Wagoner. First edition, stated & signed, of these 12 essays by Louis Bromfield, Jonathan Forman, Ladd Haystead, Henry Kamphoefner, S.C. McConahey, H.C. Nixon, J.J. Rhyne, Paul Sears, Roy Smith, Warren Thompson, and Paul Vogt, reflecting the post-World War II movement to the suburbs and away from the rapidly developing urban environment. Ironically, these authors detail in several of these essays the erosion of soil and natural resources in the countryside, the high rejections of Army recruits of rural inhabitants, Huey Long, the displacement of farm workers by new machines and farming techniques, and more, while they all try and paint an almost pastoral vision of the rural countryside for disgruntled urban dwellers. See: Cadieux & Taylor, Landscape and the Ideology of Nature in Exurbia: Green Sprawl, pp. 62-63; Books in Review, October, 1946.
