John Hall Wheelock

The Bright Doom [signed]

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1927.

First Edition. 80 pp. 8vo. Original black cloth with gilt titles. Dust jacket present, unclipped ($2.00 price intact), with chipping to extremities and spine ends. Cloth binding remains sharp and clean. Internally fine, featuring a significant hand-written four-line poetic inscription by Wheelock to William G. Wabnitz, dated January 14, 1928.

A pivotal editor at Scribner’s who championed the works of Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Wheelock’s own poetic output remains a vital link to the Victorian-Modernist transition in American letters.
