[Rarebooks] FS: INSCRIBED First Edition of Eugene O'Neill

[Charles Agvent]

O'NEILL, Eugene. PLAYS: BEYOND THE HORIZON. THE STRAW. BEFORE BREAKFAST. 
New York: Boni and Liveright, 1925. First Edition. INSCRIBED and SIGNED 
by the author on the front endpaper: "To/Elizabeth Shepley 
Sergeant--/Eugene O'Neill." 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 (#016405)        $1,500
