[Rarebooks] FS: Lovely First Edition of Thornton Wilder's OUR TOWN

[Charles Agvent]

WILDER, Thornton. OUR TOWN. New York: Coward-McCann, Inc., (1938). First 
Edition. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a touchstone of 
American theater. After reading this play, Albert Einstein wrote a 
letter to Wilder comparing OUR TOWN to Homer's ODYSSEY and Shakespeare's 
HAMLET, stating: "That an American of the present day can create with 
such delicacy and detachment touches the soul like a miracle." Just a 
touch of sunning to the spine; slight foxing to the fore-edge of the 
bulked text which is slightly cocked; owner name on verso of front 
endpaper. Near Fine in a just about Fine dustwrapper. (#019010)        
$2,000
