The Fall, 1943 issue is Very Good, with light wear and dust-soil to wrappers, and an ad carefully torn out from inner rear wrapper. The Spring, 1945 issue shows some splitting above and below the staples, faint foxing along the left edge, with the wrappers present, but detached and neatly separated along the spine-fold; Very Good. A significant collection of issues of the Corinthian, the literary magazine of the Georgia State College for Women, where Flannery O'Connor attended on an accelerated program from 1942-1945, after graduating from Milledgeville's Peabody High School. She joined the staff of the Corinthian, where she rose to the rank of editor in 1944, and contributed numerous poetry and prose pieces, and also the occasional cartoon. Aside from her contributions to Peabody High's school newspaper (where she served as art director), these pieces in the Corinthian constitute some of hear earliest published work. Her contributions to the present issues (all credited to M.F. O'Connor) are as follows: Spring, 1943 - "Elegance Is Its Own Reward" (prose), "Effervescence" (poetry); Fall, 1943 - "Home of the Brave" and "Doctors of Delinquency" (prose); Fall, 1944 - "Fashion's Perfect Medium" (prose), "Pftt" (poetry); Spring, 1945 - "Higher Education" (poetry), "Education's Only Hope" (prose). While uncredited, and lacking her later stylized "MFOC" initials, both the cover of the Fall, 1944 issue and two large cartoons illustrating "Fashion's Perfect Medium" are a dead match for O'Connor's style, right down to the angular and chinless facial features of her subjects. Issues of the Corinthian are rare in commerce, with none appearing in the auction record; OCLC notes 4 locations holding any issues (Georgia College & State Univ, UGA, Brown, BL), with Emory showing 3 issues from 1942-45 held with O'Connor's papers. Provenance: From the collection of Kitty Burruss (Bull), a friend of O'Connor's at GSCW and her associate editor. Through a descendant. 88110. …
