From Wikipedia - [Charles Joseph Finger (December 25, 1869 â January 7, 1941) was a British born American writer. Finger was born in Willesden, England, and educated at King's College London. He had a strong literary and musical formation, and was quite active in the Fabian (Socialist) movement. Finger was a keen disciple of Walt Whitman. As a youth and young man he reveled in the homosociality of the Regent Street Polytechnic created by Quintin Hogg, and as a bisexual, throughout his life he sought to create communities of like-minded readers.] In the book Shared Secrets, Elizabeth Findley Shores relates Fingerâs untold story, exploring the secrets that connected the author to an international community of twentieth-century queer literati. Finger was also employed from 1936 through 1938 as an editor of the Federal Writersâ Project (FWP) guidebook, Arkansas: A Guide to the State. A very handsome scarce and signed First Edition in a respectable DJ. LOC SS-FB-02
