O'NEILL, Eugene. THE GREAT GOD BROWN. THE FOUNTAIN. THE MOON OF THE
CARIBBEES. And Other Plays. New York: Boni and Liveright, 1926. First
Edition. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper:
"To/Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant--/Eugene O'Neill." A number of marginal
marks and changes to publication dates in the text, all in pencil,
possibly by Sergeant. Spine dull but readable with light wear to the
tips. Very Good, lacking the dustwrapper.
Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant published her first article in 1910 in
McCLURE'S MAGAZINE where she met Willa Cather, who was working as an
editor there. Sergeant became one of the original contributors to THE
NEW REPUBLIC and was sent by the magazine to Paris in 1917 to cover the
war. Her own experience of being seriously wounded by a grenade was the
basis for her book, SHADOW-SHAPES: THE JOURNAL OF A WOUNDED WOMAN
(1920). Upon her return to the United States and on her doctor's advice,
she moved to Taos, New Mexico, where she wrote about the Pueblo Indians
and New Mexico until moving to New York in the mid-1930s. She authored
several books and many biographical profiles of writers and other
important American figures. (#016406) $1,500
