1888157080New York: Bliss Publishing Co. 1888. 12mo pp. 1-9 10-348 flyleaves at front and rear original pictorial olive-green cloth front and spine panels stamped in black floral patterned endpapers. First edition. A sequel to John Hay's novel THE BREAD-WINNERS: A SOCIAL STUDY 1884 that uses some of the same characters from Hay's story. Barber promotes the cooperative movement which will convert the American industrial world into a Christian utopia. Barber "was religious sympathetic to labor and outraged by THE BREAD-WINNERS. She was heavily influenced by the social-gospel movement one of the most important religious movements appearing between the Civil War and World War I. Her novel like other social-gospel labor novel writers was infused with the principles of that movement -- especially that God is immanent in the world working out his purpose through individuals and institutions so adherence to Christian principles could bring harmony to worldly problems including conflict surrounding the labor problem." - Larry W. Isaac "Literary Activists and the Labor Problem" p. 35. THE BREAD-WINNERS elicited other responses most notably Henry Keenan's THE MONEY-MAKERS 1885. Blake The Strike in the American Novel p. 216.

193714680New York: Farrar & Rinehart. Near Fine in Very Good dj. c.1937. First Edition. Hardcover. a lovely clean copy with no significant wear but the very faintest spotting to the bottom page edges less squinty eyes would call it Fine with nary a pause; jacket lightly soiled at the rear panel with some light wear and a couple of tiny tears along the top edge very attractive nonetheless. "A Panoramic Novel" sayeth the dust jacket -- which is another way of saying that the ever-popular Miss Baldwin or her publishers was not above pulling one of the oldest New-York-novelist tricks in the book that of concocting a stew of "interrelated stories" about a wide array of urban characters from sophisticated Social Register types to "racketeers taxi-drivers maids actors secretaries and interns" in the hope that it would magically bubble into a novel with a unifying central theme. The double-copyright date though 1936 and 1937 blows its cover: all eight stories in this book were published in Cosmopolitan as novelettes most under the same titles from October 1936 through May 1937; were they "interrelated" at that point I wonder or was their anthologization the equivalent of a literary shotgun marriage One story by the way "Comet Over Broadway" was filmed under that title in 1938. And just to tie up the packaging in a nice neat bow at the very end of the book is a three-page preview of her next novel "Twenty-Four Hours a Day" also blurbed on the rear jacket flap. .

And my personal feelings about how wise we were to go to war last time for ideals unrealized and how wise we would be this time save in defense of our country are still too mixed up and uncertain.But I am honest enough to know that I can't turn em out unless I feel em."<br/><br/> unknown books
