Cummings, E.E.
TOM.
1935 1st Color frontispiece illustration by Ben Shahn. New York: Arrow Editions, 1935. First edition, consisting of only 1,500 copies. Based upon Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" (1852), this ballet was commissioned by Lincoln Kirsten for the American Ballet Theatre, but never performed. It was rejected by the company's artistic director, George Balanchine, who was reportedly baffled by the libretto's "verbal emphasis." The brown cloth binding is a touch rubbed, with some minor wear to spine ends; otherwise a very good copy. Firmage, G.: E.E. Cummings: A Bibliography, #A15.
