About This Item

New York: Random House, 1979. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. This significantly revised version of Brother to Dragons appeared twenty-six years after the original. Told in the distinct voices of characters long dead and now gathered at an unspecified place and time, this long poem recalls events leading to and resulting from the 1811 murder of a young slave by Thomas Jefferson's nephew. Signed by Warren on the front flyleaf. Octavo. A fine copy in a price-clipped dust jacket, which is otherwise fine.
