[BROCH, Hermann and McCARTHY, Mary.] BELASPOFF, Rachel. On the Iliad. Princeton: Bollingen, 1947. Octavo. First edition. Broch provides a 24-page introduction to this now-classic short study of Homer by Rachel Belaspoff, translated by Mary McCarthy. Fading to cloth near top edge of front board, else very good+, lacking the dust jacket. Inscribed by Broch at Christmas in the year of publication to Princeton Univeristy vice-chancellor Christian Gauss. Gauss was one of the great academic administrators ever to serve an American university. Much of the present greatness of Princeton can be attributed to his encouragement of emigre European intellectuals during the Second World War. Broch counted him among his close circle of friends, which also included Wolfgang Pauli, Roger Sessions and Hermann Weyl. Gauss was the only administrator to rate Broch according to his stature during his seven-year stay at Princeton during the war years and after, and was indeed his benefactor during this difficult period. He was directly responsible for the subsidizing Broch's work on The Death of Virgil, having secured him a Rockefeller Foundation grant. An exceptional association.

BROWN, Norman O. Hermes the Thief. The Evolution of a Myth. (Madison): University of Wisconsin Press, 1947. Small octavo, 164pp. First edition of Brown's first book, written while he was still a Professor of Classics, over a decade prior to his emergence as a herald of the countercultural criticism and the new consciousness in the 60s with the publication of Life Against Death and Love's Body -- though with hindsight, one can imagine the attraction the trickster figure and namesake of hermeneutics would have held for Brown. Fine in green linen-covered boards and near fine illustrated pale green dust jacket with modest tanning to spine and, to a lesser degree, to margins of front and rear panels. Scarce.
