The Clansman by Thomas Dixon Jr. 1905 Hardcover:
$33.16
This is a rare first edition of \"The Clansman: An Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan\" by Thomas Dixon Jr., published in 1905 by Grosset & Dunlap. This historically significant novel served as the literary basis for D.W. Griffith\'s controversial 1915 film, \"The Birth of a Nation.\" The book features illustrations derived from the photoplay production. This edition is a hardcover with a red cloth binding and gold lettering on the spine and front cover. It shows signs of wear consistent with its age, including some rubbing and minor fraying on the cover and spine. The pages are toned but appear intact, offering a unique glimpse into a pivotal work of American literature and its impact on cinema and cultural history. A must-have for collectors of early 20th-century American fiction, cinema history, or those interested in the social narratives of the Reconstruction era.
