Cornersly slightly bumped, mild wear, previous owner's name at the top of the title page. Overall in NEAR FINE condition. Newton Booth Tarkington (July 29, 1869 May 19, 1946) was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning novels The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams. Booth Tarkington was born in Indianapolis, the son of John S. Tarkington and Elizabeth Booth Tarkington. He was named after his maternal uncle Newton Booth, then the governor of California. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy, Purdue University and Princeton University. While at Princeton he was editor of the Nassau Literary Magazine, made a member of The Ivy Club and formed the Princeton Triangle Club. He was also voted the most popular man in his class. When Tarkington's class graduated in 1893 he lacked sufficient credits for a degree, but was eventually able to earn two Princeton degrees, based on his later achievements, an honorary A.M. in 1899 and an honorary Litt.D. in 1918. He was one of the most popular American novelists of his time, with The Two Vanrevels and Mary's Neck appearing on the annual best-seller lists nine times. Tarkington's best known work today is The Magnificent Ambersons, due in part to its famous treatment by Orson Welles in 1942 and its frequently favored listing on the Modern Library's list of top-100 novels. It was the second volume in Tarkington's Growth trilogy, which traced the growth of the United States through the decline of the once-powerful and aristocratic Amberson family dynasty, contrasted against the rise of industrial tycoons and "new money" families in the economic boom years after the Civil War leading up to World War I. Tarkington referenced his Midwest roots in his work The Gentleman from Indiana, and he donated substantially to Purdue University, being highly recognized for his philanthropy. Tarkington Hall, an all-men's residence hall at Purdue, is named in honor of him. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
