JARRELL, Randall
Pictures From an Institution
First edition. Fine in a very good dustwrapper with some rubbing at the extremities, and mild spine-fading. Inscribed by the author: "To Leonard and Maud Hurley from Randall and Mary Jarrell." Author's first and only novel, a satirical portrait of a progressive all-female college not unlike Sarah Lawrence, where Jarrell taught after the war. Not perfect, but a handsome copy of a book usually found well-worn. Leonard Hurley was a beloved professor at the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he and Jarrell both taught in the English Department, and was the author of a couple of popular English textbooks.
