About This Item
Bloomington: Indiana UP, 1969. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. An association copy, Richardson's first book inscribed on the half-title page to his mentor and colleague at the University of Denver, Gerald Chapman: "For Jerry, with affection, admiration, and many thanks, Bob." Uncommon signed. Richardson studied with Chapman as a PhD student, and then taught with him in Denver from 1972 to 1987, during which time he wrote the first of his well-recognized biographies, on Thoreau. He followed with biographies on Emerson, and William James, the later of which won the Bancroft Prize. He also married Annie Dillard, a relationship set in motion when Dillard sent him a fan note about his Thoreau book. Chapman was a distinguished scholar who wrote books on Shakespeare and Edmund Burke among others and co-founded the Denver Quarterly. Parts of Literature and Film first appeared in that magazine as mentioned in the acknowledgement page, where Chapman is also thanked for his criticism. The book compares critical approaches to literature and film and explore the influence of lit on film. A near fine book with a touch of rubbing to corners; in a very good, price-clipped jacket with some small chipping to spine ends and one half-inch-long slender hole along front flap fold.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
