CORRECTED TYPESCRIPT OF HER SECOND NOVEL, JORDANSTOWN by Johnson, Josephine:
Book Description
[Np]. 1936.. [2],203 numbered leaves, arranged in sections with brads and paperclips. Quarto. Original typescript, typed on rectos only, but with manuscript insertions on rectos of an occasional leaf, and a few inserts on different paper stock (somewhat browned). Very good. A late, but nonetheless heavily worked over typescript for Johnson's second novel, bearing her annotations and revisions throughout, as well as editorial tinkerings. The top leaf is titled and signed in her hand as well. The revision process resulted in a number of substantial deletions from the text, and many other significant variations from the published text are present. Johnson's first novel, NOW IN NOVEMBER (1934), won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and this novel is a recurring point of reference in the chief considerations of American labor novels of the 1930s. Johnson drew much of the background for her fiction from her experiences covering strikes and relief conditions in Missouri, and was herself the president of the Consumers' Co-Operative in 1938. Accompanied by a copy of the published book, first edition, very good in dust jacket. RIDEOUT, p. 298. HANNA 1925. PRESTRIDGE 92.
