About This Item
San Francisco: City Lights Books and Harper & Row, 1980. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Inscribed by Lawrence Ferlinghetti on the front flyleaf. "...recreates the city's brawling literary frontier, the escapades of the Bohemian Club, Les Jeunes - the spirited aesthetes of the late 1890s - the Carmel literary colony that sprang up while San Francisco was rebuilding after the 1906 quake, the telling appearance of Continent's End: An Anthology of Contemporary California Poets in 1925, the engagement of writers in the 1930s with labor strife and power politics, the post-World War II literary renaissance, the anti-Vietnam War movement, the beginnings of the Rock Era, and the contemporary literary expression of pioneer thinking on feminist, ethnic, minority, religious, and political issues." Quarto: xi, 254 p. with a plethora of photographs and illustrations. Original green cloth binding, with gilt titles. Some mild fading and wear along the extremities of the dust jacket; otherwise very good.
