Bowers, Mrs. Dr. J. Milton: the Dance of Life

Item Details

Description

BOWERS, Mrs. Dr. J. Milton. The Dance of Life. An Answer to Dance of Death. San Francisco : San Francisco News Company, 1877. Decorated with chapter heads. 16mo, original brown cloth lettered in gilt and decoratively stamped in black. Edges barely rubbed, bookplate, fine. First edition. The Dance of Death was a wildly succesful literary hoax perpetrated by Ambrose Bierce and two cohorts. It professed to condemn the waltz as an open and shameless gratification of sexual desire and carried on in titillating phraseology. Bierce then wrote a review of the work, denouncing it as an outrage which, of course, only boosted sales. Endorsed by a Methodist Church conference, 18,000 copies of the book were sold in seven months. All this brought forth the rebuttal listed here, dedicated to the lady dancers of San Francisco and written to check the insolence of a Philistine by one Mrs. Dr. J. Milton Bowers or, although he denied it, just possibly by Mr. Ambrose Gwinett Bierce.
