Among the more nuanced Socialist novels of the 'teens and according to Rideout one of the first serious portrayals of the I.W.W. in American fiction. The book is also noteworthy for offering a woman protagonist who in contrast to the formulaic society-girl-turned-socialist so common to the radical "conversion" novels of the period is here a sweatshop worker who must do battle with her instinctive militancy which initially attracts her to the IWW to finally join the Socialist Party.

190919030New York: Mitchell Kennerly 1909 but later. Original red cloth boards lettered in white on spine and front cover; dustjacket; 329pp. Tight Near Fine copy in slightly soiled dustwrapper stating "Third Edition" at base of front panel. Dates on title page and copyright match 1909 however jacket states "Third Edition." Harris's only foray into "proletarian" fiction--a novel set among the anarchist victims of the events surrounding Chicago's Haymarket Square bombing of 1886. Published by Kennerley in 1909 and reissued by Harris in the Twenties; it is unclear whether the current issue is in fact from a third re-setting of the text or simply a remainder with a new dustwrapper. We note that the jacket sits about 1/16" short for the book but we offer it as received. Mitchell Kennerly unknown books

"Despite its cheery-sounding title Circus Parade is light years away from Toby Tylerland presenting a dark violent and thoroughly unromanticized portrait of life on the road with a traveling show -- described by Tully as "generally a canvas nest of petty thieves and criminals among the lower gentry." The book's depictions of casual brutality -- including a shocking account of the troupe's exploitation of a young black girl's sexual favors -- got it banned in Boston and caused an uproar with circus fans and unsurprisingly circus owners which helped to put the kibosh on a proposed film adaptation by James Cruze" PROUTY 4.
