All the World's a Stage

All the World's a Stage

It's time to dim the lights and raise the curtain, as James Cummins Bookseller is proud to present All the World's a Stage, our newest catalogue dedicated to some of history's greatest playwrights. With inventory spanning from landmark 16th-century editions of ancient Greek plays to Eugene O'Neill's tribute to his old drama teacher there is something for the most devoted of thespians to the amateur dramatist. Highlights include the first octavo Shakespeare with the poems; a remarkable association copy of The Cocktail Party with a pre-publication presentation inscription from T.S. Eliot to American friend, poet, and critic Allen Tate; and several portrait photographs taken by Carl Van Vechten.
