First edition, American issue. 114 pages. 12mo. With the text of the last version before Shaw's final revisions. Concerining this Shaw wrote to the Ammerican publisher, Benjamin Tucker, "I suppose you will have to print your edition in the earlier and imperfect phase of the immortal work." Written at the invitation of Tucker, the editor of Liberty magazine. It first appeared in the July 27, 1895 issue of Liberty in the form of an essay-review titled "A Degenerate's View of Nordau" (Laurence C1086). Tucker observed that there had been no response from the arts community to Nordau's Degeneration, and offered Shaw the highest price ever paid to anyone for a magazine article if he would offer that response. Shaw, always a critic of the American devotion to money, accepted. Laurence A86b

Hart Crane's copy, signed by him in ink on the front flyleaf. Tan binding is lightly browned on spine, with faint small erasure mark on front flyleaf, else a fine copy. It is unclear when Hart Crane acquired this copy of "The Sanity of Art," but it should be noted that in the spring of 1918, Crane was living in New York City, and "briefly held a position as salesman in the basement of Brentano's bookstore.
