Handsome, tight first edition of this Dutch literary study. Front flyleaf bears ownership signature of Linda Wagner (born 1936), an academic and literary critic who authored two Hemingway studies as well as studies of authors as diverse as Denise Levertov, William Carlos Williams and John Dos Passos. Wagner inks interesting margin comments in the first chapter -- and even on the dust jacket flaps! From the library of academic/literary critic Joseph J. Waldmeir (1923-2013) -- who is also cited several times in this book. Unusual copy of a scarce title.
