Members of the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration

Verlag: Harcourt, Brace And Company, New York, 1939

The Federal Writers' Project (FWP) was a federal government project in the United States created to provide jobs for out-of-work writers and to develop a history and overview of the United States, by state, cities and other jurisdictions. It was launched in 1935 during the Great Depression. It was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program. It was one of a group of New Deal arts programs known collectively as Federal Project Number One or Federal One. FWP employed thousands of people and produced hundreds of publications, including state guides, city guides, local histories, oral histories, ethnographies, and children's books. In addition to writers, the project provided jobs to unemployed librarians, clerks, researchers, editors, and historians. This copy is good in dark green cloth with blind-stamped titles on the spine and front cover. Ex-library, with typical library stamps and labels. The hinges are cracked but holding, and the binding is otherwise sound. Minor wear at the corners. The text is very clean and unmarked, other than the library stamps. It includes the usually absent folding map in a rear pocket. The map is also in good condition. . LB15. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers B1382
