6136One large page 9 x 5 1/2 inches. Superb and early autograph letter signed by famed American artist and illustrator Will Bradley to Frances F. Browne a noted editor and literary critic with whom Bradley would work closely with over the years. Written on Bradley’s stationery printed at top left: “Will H. Bradley/Artist/1111 Monadnock Building/Chicago.†The letter is almost entirely taken up with design and description of his art: “Aug 25 -92. Mr. Frances F. Browne Dear Sir: I will explain the design & send you by today’s mail as the pencil sketch is not very clear. Below the dial are laurel branches which support the dial and also two torches. The sun is indicated its rays forming a background to add a little strength to center of design. The laurel branches are woven to form four leaf shaped designs in the center of which are emblems the ribbon work continues below the title and on this I have indicated the sub-title as it will help to make the design compact. The rough sketch looks a little crowded but the finished drawing will not appear so as the title will be strong. “ Very good with slight browning to bottom crease marks barely visible to face of letter. Early Will Bradley letters are scarce especially with association. unknown

1964210401964. Christian Paula. The Other Side of Desire. Gardner Miriam. Twilight Lovers. Frame Marguerite. All the Gay Girls. Johnson Kay. Her Raging Needs. Salem Randy. Sex in the Shadows. These mid-twentieth century paperback novels document the circulation of lesbian identity desire and social relationships within a mass-market publishing environment shaped by censorship moral regulation and the dominance of male pseudonymous authors. Issued between 1964 and 1970 these works provide primary evidence of how same-sex relationships were represented in commercially distributed fiction during a period when homosexuality remained criminalized and widely pathologized in the United States. Paula Christian one of the few openly lesbian authors writing in the genre produced The Other Side of Desire a narrative centered on a woman navigating both heterosexual marriage and same-sex desire and identified within Barbara Grier's evaluative framework as a text with sustained lesbian characters and narrative significance. Other works in the group depict entangled relationships among women urban and domestic social environments and generational dynamics within lesbian communities contributing to early formations of lesbian reading culture prior to the emergence of organized gay and lesbian liberation movements.<br /> <br /> Christian Paula pen name of Yvonne MacManus. The Other Side of Desire. New York: Paperback Library 1965. First edition. Mass-market paperback.<br /> Gardner Miriam pen name of Marion Zimmer Bradley. Twilight Lovers. Derby Conn.: Monarch Books 1964. Mass-market paperback.<br /> Frame Marguerite. All the Gay Girls. Derby Conn.: Gold Star Books 1964. First edition. Mass-market paperback.<br /> Johnson Kay. Her Raging Needs. New York: Softcover Library 1970. Mass-market paperback.<br /> Salem Randy. Sex in the Shadows. New York: Softcover Library 1970. Mass-market paperback.<br /> Group of five paperback volumes spanning 1964 to 1970 each measuring approximately 4.25 x 7 inches and generally ranging between 120 and 150 pages. Illustrated covers follow mid-century pulp conventions depicting women in intimate or suggestive poses paired with promotional language such as "One love was natural. The other was forbidden-and dangerous!" The Other Side of Desire and "They lived and loved in the off-beat world of lesbianism" Twilight Lovers. Narrative content includes married women entering same-sex relationships multi-partner entanglements and depictions of social spaces in which lesbian identity is negotiated. All the Gay Girls centers on power and desire within a network of women while Sex in the Shadows presents generational and relational tension between younger and older women. Her Raging Needs frames same-sex relationships within broader patterns of dissatisfaction in heterosexual life.<br /> <br /> These works circulated within a rapidly expanding paperback industry that enabled the distribution of controversial subject matter through inexpensive formats even as publishers relied on sensationalized language and imagery to navigate obscenity standards and attract readership. Lesbian pulp fiction functioned as one of the few accessible print spaces for representations of same-sex relationships and female-authored contributions introduced perspectives grounded in lived experience and identity exploration. Titles such as The Other Side of Desire demonstrate attempts to move beyond purely punitive or tragic narratives offering more sustained depictions of lesbian relationships within constrained social conditions. Light wear including minor spine wear and a library stamp to the front page of Sex in the Shadows; otherwise clean interiors and tight textblocks; overall good to very good condition. The grouping supports research into sexuality censorship and mid-century mass-market publishing. unknown

Although chapters are devoted to the ancient Near East and the Jews its principal concern is with the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. These are often considered as the first examples in world history of genuine slave societies because of the widespread prevalence of chattel slavery which is argued to have been a cultural manifestation of the ubiquitous violence in societies typified by incessant warfare. There was never any sustained opposition to slavery and the new religion of Christianity probably reinforced rather than challenged its existence. In twenty-two chapters leading scholars explore the centrality of slavery in ancient Mediterranean life using a wide range of textual and material evidence. Non-specialist readers in particular will find the volume an accessible account of the early history of this crucial phenomenon.<br /> <br /> This set is heavy and oversize and will require additional postage to ship internationally; please contact us for an international shipping quote.
