1929. First UK edition. 59pp. James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) was an American writer, civil rights activist, and a leading figure of the Harlem Renaissance. In this book, one of his most celebrated works, inspirational sermons of African American preachers are reimagined as poetry, reverberating with the musicality and splendid eloquence of the spirituals. This classic collection includes "Listen Lord (A Prayer)," "The Creation," "The Prodigal Son," "Go Down Death (A Funeral Sermon)," "Noah Built the Ark," "The Crucifixion," "Let My People Go," and "The Judgment Day." The book is bound in the original purple paper covered boards with black titling on paper labels on the spine and front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and light soiling on the boards. The spine is faded and there is lighter fading near the spine edge of the front board and to a larger part of the rear board. The paper covering the corner tips is worn and the spine ends are bumped with a little damage at the top of the spine and loss of about 1/4" at the bottom of the spine. The contents are tight and clean although there is moderate foxing scattered throughout. The foxing is mostly light with some of the early pages being more heavily affecteed. There is a brief inscription dated 1934 on the front free endpaper.
