Sobre este artículo
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1899. The ironic "War is Kind" is Stephen Crane's second collection of poetry. Always in poor health, a year later he would be dead at a tragically young 28. Crane went through a period of ill-regard, but now is recognized as an innovative master within American literature. This is a Very Good copy. Rare. Brown paper-covered boards; front cover and within are illustrations and head-pieces by the famed Art Nouveau illustrator Will Bradley (1868-1962), whose work is often favorably compared to Aubrey Beardsley. Cleran text; 96 pages . Printed on gray paper stock with only the top trimmed. There is a penciled signature on the FFEP; small bookseller label (Brentano's Chicago) on the rear paste-down. The spine has cracked at the edges but is holding; chips to the head and foot, the top one resulting in loss to the paper label. In an archival plastic protector.. First Edition. Pictorial Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Will Bradley. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
