Pages: (61), (5), vi-xi, (10), 6-416. Contains sixty-one pages of black-and-white plates. "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men grew out of an assignment that Agee… and Evans accepted in 1936 to produce a Fortune article on the conditions among sharecropper families in the American South during the Great Depression. It was the time of U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" programs designed to help the poorest segments of the society. Agee and Evans spent eight weeks that summer researching their assignment, mainly among three white sharecropping families mired in desperate poverty. They returned with Evans's portfolio of stark images -- of families with gaunt faces, adults and children huddled in bare shacks before dusty yards in the Depression-era nowhere of the deep south -- and Agee's detailed notes. The manuscript was accepted for publication by Houghton Mifflin in 1939 and appeared two years later to enormous critical acclaim." VG/VG: Exlibrary book. Sticker on dust jacket at the base of the spine. Stamp on top and bottom text blocks. Due date card on back pasted end page.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. Third printing stated. 224 pages. This was co-published with The Baffler magazine. A re-discovered masterpiece of reporting by a literary icon and a celebrated photographer. In 1941, James Agee and Walker Evans published Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, a four-h…undred-page prose symphony about three tenant farming families in Hale County, Alabama at the height of the Great Depression. The book shattered journalistic and literary conventions. The origins of Agee and Evan's famous collaboration date back to an assignment for Fortune magazine, which sent them to Alabama in the summer of 1936 to report a story that was never published. James Rufus Agee (November 27, 1909 - May 16, 1955) was an American novelist, journalist, poet, screenwriter and film critic. In the 1940s, writing for Time, he was one of the most influential film critics in the United States. His autobiographical novel, A Death in the Family won the author a posthumous 1958 Pulitzer Prize. Agee is also known as a co-writer of the book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and as the screenwriter of the film classics The African Queen and The Night of the Hunter. Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 - April 10, 1975) was an American photographer and photojournalist best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting the effects of the Great Depression. He said that his goal was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent". His works are in the permanent collections of major museums and have been the subject of retrospectives at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the George Eastman Museum. In the summer of 1936 the business magazine Fortune operated by Henry Luce dispatched staff writer James Agee and photographer Walker Evans, on loan from the Farm Securities Administration, to Alabama to examine the economic plight of white cotton tenant farmers. Agee's report was a powerful indictment of the Southern economic system, but the story was killed by the magazine. One might surmise that Fortune found the piece too critical of Southern capitalism, but researchers have been unable to locate any correspondence explaining why this indictment was rejected for publication. Although Agee's 1936 trip to Alabama did provide important research for his 1941 book on sharecroppers, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, the original manuscript was part of the writer's papers discovered by his daughter in Agee's Greenwich Village home. The James Agee Trust then transferred this collection to the University of Tennessee Special Collections Library where the typescript "Cotton Tenants" was found. In 2012, approximately one-third of the document was published in The Baffler by editor John Summers who worked with Melville House to release the complete document. Fifty years after Agee's death, this trove of his manuscripts turned out to include a typescript labeled Cotton Tenants. Once examined, the pages made it clear that Agee had in fact written a masterly, 30,000-word report for Fortune. Published here in full for the first time, and accompanied by thirty of Walker Evans's historic photos, Cotton Tenants is an eloquent report of three families struggling through desperate times. Indeed, Agee's dispatch remains relevant as one of the most honest explorations of poverty in America ever attempted and as a foundational document of long-form reporting. Walker Evans (Photographer) (illustratore).

Foxing to the textblock edge and a previous owner name on the front pastedown else, clean; dust jacket is lightly edgeworn and a bit darkened at the sp…ine; price intact on the front flap. Originally issued in 1941, this book did not get the recognition it deserved as the United States was near to enter the Second World War. This second edition was released nearly 20 years later with photographs not present in the first. This is a very nice copy of the first printing of the revised and expanded edition of Agee and Evans's landmark work on Alabama sharecroppers. Of this book William Reese writes: "The evocation of the hardscrabble lives of the sharecroppers, the eye for the smallest details of their material existence, and the empathy for their often grim lot, shines through on every pages. Anyone who wants to understand the American South, and indeed much about the United States, should read this book" (Reese, Narratives of Personal Experience, 4). A magnificent collaboration.
