Description

A superior signed and inscribed first edition of the Pulitzer Prize–winning second volume of David Levering Lewis’s definitive biography of W. E. B. Du Bois. Covering the years 1919–1963, this landmark work traces Du Bois’s intellectual leadership across civil rights, Pan-Africanism, politics, and global thought during the defining decades of the American century.

Lewis’s biography is widely regarded as the authoritative modern life of Du Bois, combining rigorous scholarship with narrative clarity and moral seriousness. This copy’s two separate author signatures, including a dated inscription, elevate it beyond a standard signed example and make it especially appealing to collectors of African American history, American intellectual history, and signed scholarly works.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a cornerstone biography in collectible signed condition—equally at home in a serious private library or institutional collection.

Lewis is one of the most honored biographers in American letters, and inscribed copies of this major work — especially with a second signature on the title page — are genuinely uncommon. A clean, tight, collector-level copy in protective Brodart.
