Hetaira by Brown, Cornelia Dodd - (c.1933)

Chicago: Ralph Fletcher Seymour. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1933). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [nice tight copy, no significant wear, just a trace of dust-soiling to top edge, small sticker-removal scar on ffep; jacket moderately edgeworn (dog-eared along top edge due to slightly oversized jacket), a few insignificant tears, soiling to (blank) rear panel, a couple of internal tape repairs/reinforcements along top edge]. You gotta love a book by "a profound interpreter of human nature [who] has studied intensively in Europe and is a follower of one of the new European schools of psychoanalysis. She has practiced this science as well as given lectures upon psychological subjects. Now she has begun to publish popular analytical studies in which, through the medium of fascinating novels [like this one!], complicated psychological types are made understandable to the layman." A Google search revealed the entirely relevant fact that the author was a member of the Chicago Women's Club in 1914; no doubt she was still gracing that very group with her lectures, lo these many years later. .
