The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by ERVING GOFFMAN ~ First Edition 1956

Description: The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman Presentation copy of the rare first edition of the sociologist's first book with a signed slip Edinburgh: University of Edinburgh Social Sciences Research Centre, 1956. (viii), 162, (1) pp. Original stiff wraps. First edition. (Printed three years before its American debut.) Laid in slip on U.S. Government stationary (interestingly enough), dated "5. Nov" and typed "Dear Dr. von Mering: Thanks for the interest. The price is $1.40, acceptable in any form, and not insisted on. I would, incidentally, be very interested in criticisms. Regards, [signed] Erving Goffman." The recipient was most likely German-born anthropologist Dr. Otto von Mering, a young assistant prof at University of Pittsburgh College of Medicine at the time and soon-to-be co-author of Remotivating the Mental Patient, which Goffman would cite in his later works. Presumably it is his underlines, brief marginal notations, and dog-eared pages throughout the text. Good with well-foxed and soiled covers that bow slightly. Ranked the tenth of ten "Books of the Century" by the International Sociological Association in 1998, Goffman's debut book introduced the use of theatrical imagery in sociology: dramaturgical analysis. Rare in its first printing, and especially so as a presentation copy. We specialize in rare and out-of-print books! Visit our eBay store.
