1868WRCAM1491New York 1868. 2755pp. printed in double-column format. Original pictorial wrappers. Spine split and mostly perished cover slightly soiled else good. A most interesting contribution to American theatre history relating the author's experiences on the boards in Mobile Selma New Orleans St. Louis etc. Either the theatre crowd was a tougher bunch then or Smith had a facility for evoking violence and low behavior from his colleagues and audiences because his narrative is studded with all sorts of encounters of the meanest sort. Evidently travelling actors were not particularly welcome in some areas and Smith resorted on one occasion to impersonating Amos Kendall so he would receive civil treatment during an overnight stay. The author also makes room for bits and snatches of text extracted from trade papers newspapers and overheard conversations as well as utterances by others. Fascinating. HOWES S672.

Despite the book's "completely frank medical vocabulary" and use of a "simple and easily understandable glossary" a contemporary review in the Journal of the American Medical Association summed up the work thus: "The book is neither fish nor fowl neither fiction nor science neither essay nor poetry. It is just an attempt to capitalize the public's morbid interest in obstetrics gynecology and abortions." The Macaulay Company hardcover books

193316207New York: The Macaulay Company. Good in Very Good dj. 1933. 2nd printing. Hardcover. ex-rental library book Vierstahler Bros. on Walnut St. city unknown marked by only a single stamp on the ffep some soiling to fore-edge and bottom page edges binding a little weak but no cracks or splits light shelfwear; jacket is edgeworn with small tears and a teensy bit of paper loss at several corners a bit of smudging/creasing in front panel moderate soiling to rear panel. According to the jacket blurb of this book -- "so startling so new that is is certain to make literary history" -- both men AND women would find out more about the mysteries of the female body than they ever imagined. "The secret side of womanhood most of it dark even to the women themselves is revealed under the searching kindly inquiry of the consultation-chamber and the relentless probing insistence of the operating-room." Despite the singular title the book is actually structured around the experiences of two doctors who eventually come into conflict when one is accused of having facilitated an abortion. The setting is specified as Toronto which is a tipoff to the identity of the author: one Sol Allen a Canadian writer whose 1929 novel "They Have Bodies" published in the U.S. under the name "Barney Allen" has been cited as an almost unique early example of modernist Canadian fiction. And interestingly he also published two novels later as "Sol Barney Allen" -- apparently his true full name -- that would appear to cover the same ground: "Toronto Doctor" 1949 and "The Gynecologist" 1965. There's an extensive glossary of medical terms at the end of the book which permits the author to avoid the use of "repellent terms." And speaking of relentless probing by the way: could anything be much scarier than that jacket illustration . The Macaulay Company hardcover books

192921168New York: The Macaulay Company. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. book shows only minor wear at extremities generally clean and sound; jacket edgeworn and scuffed with various small nicks and closed tears some diagonal creasing across top and bottom sections of front panel. Rare novel about upper-class Toronto residents "the Canadian smart set" -- "hard-drinking fast-living colonials who present a social group as passionate and tense as those unforgettable characters so familiar to the readers of Somerset Maugham." Morley Callaghan's name and style are also evoked by the name-dropping blurb-writer. "A new kind of novel" it's called "daring and colorfully written" but it didn't go down smoothly in Canada itself: it was censored by the Toronto Police Department for its sexual explicitness and given a critical reception that ranged from outright hostility to simple bewilderment. The narrative structure as indicated by the book's subtitle involves groups of prose chapters some of which are written in a kind of fragmented stream-of-consciousness style alternating with the dialogue-only style of a playscript. The book has been posited by at least one latter-day critic as having been at the forefront of an aborted Canadian avant-garde/modernist literature combining "James Joyce's free indirect discourse with Virginia Woolf's steam-of-consciousness" into a text that was "visually distinct from all Canadian prose until well into the 1960s" and with some Freudian influences thrown in for good measure. Allen went on to write a few more less experimental novels occasionally published pseudonymously e.g. "The Woman's Doctor" Macaulay 1933. OCLC shows only seven copies all in Canadian libraries.
