"More readily understood than Spender's poems is this allegorical drama based on the situation in Nazi Germany. The Judge is faced with the problem of judgment on the murderers of a Polish Jew. He condemns them and is in turn himself condemned. The various factions are there -- government the people the Communists the Jews. A stirring and powerful arraignment of Nazi tyranny." Kirkus Reviews September 1 1938. <br /><br />A leaflet for the Group Theatre is laid in. Spender was the theatre's literary director. <br /><br />CONDITION: Clean and unmarked although many pages are unopened along the fore edge.

19342617<p>New York: Samuel French 1934. First Edition. <br /><br />Small Octavo 7 1/2 x 5 inches; 191 x 127 mm vi 2 120 pages in gray cloth titles in black to spine in the rare unclipped illustrated dust jacket. <br /><br />Longshoremen go on strike refusing to load munitions on ships bound for Europe. Why If there's going to be a war they're the ones who will have to fight it. The strike engulfs the local college community and a psychology professor is sentenced to death for a murder he didn't commit. <br /><br />The influential theatre critic Brooks Atkinson of The New York Times referred to "Peace on Earth" as a "propaganda play" a description that the authors George Sklar and Albert Maltz would probably not disagree with. "During the course of a lively and disorderly evening 'Peace on Earth' manages to denounce scab labor capital endowed universities the detachment of college teachers the jingoism of the alumni of the class of 1917 and the indifference of the police to free speech" Atkinson wrote. The New York Times November 30 1933 page 39. <br /><br />The play was first produced by the Theatre Union Inc. on November 29 1933 at the Civic Repertory Theatre in New York. Robert Keith played the hapless professor in a performance that Atkinson praised in an otherwise hostile review. ".Robert Keith plays with a grave serenity and a decent sincerity that command respect and sympathy" Atkinson wrote. <br /><br />Copies of "Peace on Earth" are scarce in the antiquarian book market and those with dust jackets are even more elusive especially with jackets as nice as this one. Unfortunately the artist of this beautiful jacket is uncredited. This copy was previously owned by John K. Martin founder of Black Sparrow Press with his discreet book label to the rear pastedown. <br /><br />CONDITION: Near Fine with marginalia on one page a bit of foxing to the fore edge and a small book label of John K. Martin to the rear pastedown. The unclipped dust jacket is also Near Fine with only light edge wear. A beautiful copy. <br /><br /></p> Samuel French hardcover
