SOLVED. Genre unknown: Banned in Boston before 1927, something like: Horizon by Robert Corse. [s]

[Stephen]

I'm reading through a list of books that were banned in Boston in the early 20th century. An upcoming title appears in the list as:

"Horizon," by Robert Corse

Problem is, I can't find this work in any likely source. Not in the Library of Congress, not in WorldCat, not in AbeBooks, and not in Goodreads.

I suspect that the titles and authors in this list are not necessarily recorded faithfully, and that the actual title or author may be something slightly different, or better known under a different title or a pen name. But searches in library catalogs and online bookstore databases have not yet given me any likely candidates.

The list first appeared in 1927, so whatever it is was originally published mid-1920s at the latest.

Any guesses what this listing may refer to?

You were close!

This must be Horizon. The author's last name is Carse, not Corse.

D'oh! I thought I'd tried that variant, but evidently not. With a 1927 publication date, and a description that sounds like the sort of thing the Boston censors were policing, I am almost certain this is the book I'm looking for. Good enough for the project, in any case.

Thanks Rainbowheart!

No prob, glad to help out!
