194981774Toronto: The Ryerson Press 1949. First Edition. First printing. Inscribed on the front endpaper: "To Harry P. Martin / who qualifies on two counts - one the fraternity of the book; two a friend of E.L. Deitch who gives this volume with the aproval of / Louis Blake Duff" dated March 1949. Octavo 20cm. Yellow cloth; dustwrapper; 224pp. Tight straight and unmarked; Near Fine. In the original pictorial dustwrapper slightly soiled on lighter portions; small sticker remnant to front panel; Very Good. <br /> <br /> Duff 1878-1959 was a Canadian journalist bibliophile and private press printer proprietor of the Baskerville Press in Welland Ontario. In the current somewhat uncommon work Duff takes us on a breezy somewhat windy actually tour of death-by-hanging in all ages concluding with a chapter considering the abolition of hanging which he notes at this time was still the most common means of legal execution in many Western countries. A contemporary Canadian reviewer apparently either blind or immune to Duff's rather baroque prose style noted that: ".Mr. Duff's book because of its very restraint is more eloquent propaganda for the abolition of capital punishment than any number of learned treatises" Fred Landon in The Canadian Historical Review Sep. 1949. A nifty little book probably unknown to many collectors of books on the subject; uncommon in the trade and this copy nicely inscribed. The Ryerson Press unknown

This is one of the rare opportunities to buy this Magnus Opus in a signed version which is nearly impossible to find ! Signed and dated by Baron Blake on the titlepage: "Robert Blake - March 31st 1970". Robert Norman William Blake Baron Blake FBA FRSL 23 December 1916 20 September 2003 was an English historian and peer. He is best known for his 1966 biography of Benjamin Disraeli and for The Conservative Party from Peel to Churchill which grew out of his 1968 Ford lectures. Robert Blake was born in Brundall Norwich the elder son of William Joseph Blake a schoolmaster and of Norah Lindley Blake née Daynes the daughter of a leading Norwich solicitor. The family firm was Daynes Hill & Perks subsequently acquired by Eversheds. He was said to be related to Admiral Robert Blake of the Parliamentary navy. Blake was educated at a dame school in Brundall; King Edward VI's Norwich School where his father taught History; and Magdalen College Oxford where he was an Eldon Law Scholar. He graduated from Oxford with a First in Modern Greats and a hockey Blue. One of his contemporaries at Oxford was Sir Keith Joseph. Blake had planned to go to the bar. However when the Second World War broke out he was commissioned into the Royal Artillery turning down an offer from a friend to join MI5. He was taken prisoner at the Siege of Tobruk in 1942 escaped from Italy in 1944 and was mentioned in despatches. He worked for MI6 from 1944 to 1946 where he was a colleague of Kim Philby. In 1947 he became a student fellow and tutor in Politics at Christ Church Oxford replacing Lord Pakenham who had joined Clement Attlee's government. His first work was an edition of the papers of Douglas Haig which did much to restore Haig's reputation. It was followed by a biography of Bonar Law written at the invitation of Lord Beaverbrook Law's executor. Blake's most famous work is his 1966 Disraeli a biography of Benjamin Disraeli which has been variously described as "the best single-volume biography of any British prime minister" and "the best biography of anyone in any language". He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy the following year. Having abandoned a project for a biography of Lord Derby in 1970 he published The Conservative Party from Peel to Churchill a general history of the Conservative Party based on his 1968 Ford Lectures. The work was later extended to cover the period up to the premiership of Margaret Thatcher and later that of John Major. In 1968 he was elected provost of The Queen's College Oxford a post he retained until retirement in 1987. On 17 May 1971 on the recommendation of the Prime Minister Edward Heath Blake was created a life peer as Baron Blake of Braydeston in the County of Norfolk. In the House of Lords he took the Conservative whip. In 1972 he moved the address in reply to the Queen's Speech. His History of Rhodesia 1977 is according to Kenneth O. Morgan "essentially a study of white rule ending with sharp comments on the illegal breakaway regime of Ian Smith where Blake's views were much influenced by his friendship with the liberal Garfield Todd and his daughter". It makes interesting reading in conjunction with the less critical Rainbow on the Zambezi 1953 by Don Taylor. In 1987 Lord Blake was nominated in the election for the Oxford Chancellorship but lost to Roy Jenkins although polling ahead of Edward Heath. Blake was hurt by the fact that the Cabinet had decided to endorse Heath and became withdrawn from Oxford. In 1990 he was one of the leading historians behind the setting up of the History Curriculum Association. The Association advocated a more knowledge-based history curriculum in schools. It expressed "profound disquiet" at the way history was being taught in the classroom and observed that the integrity of history was threatened. In 1992 Blake gave the centenary Romanes Lecture on "Gladstone Disraeli and Queen Victoria". Blake was for many years Senior Member the University don responsible for ruling on internal disputes such as accusations of electoral malpractice of the Oxford University Conservative Association.

199926915<p>Jazz Age Paris Blake Jody. Le Tumulte Noir: Modernist Art and Popular Entertainment in Jazz-Age Paris 1900-1930. University Park: Penn State Press 1999. First Printing of the First Edition. ISBN: 0271017538. A Fine tight copy in a Very Good plus dust jacket with light sunning to the spine that is common wtih this title. In Le Tumulte noir Jody Blake focuses on the impacts of African sculpture and African-American music and dance on Parisian popular entertainment and modernist art literature and performance. Blake discusses the reception of ragtime-era and jazz-age entertainment as well as other African visual and performing art forms to provide new ways of understanding the development of modernist primitivism from Matisse and Picasso to Futurism Dada Surrealism and Purism. But the influence of art nÈgre went well beyond the avant-garde art world. Starting with the cakewalk of the 1900s and culminating with the Charleston of the 1920s the book studies the African-American idioms that were involved in larger cultural social and political developments. As an illustration Blake argues that performers such as Josephine Baker and Sidney Bechet of Revue nÈgre fame were thought to affect the political balance between Africa and Europe during the colonial period. Le Tumulte noir is divided into six chronological chapters each a well-researched well-conceived and well-written synthesis of the histories of art literature music and dance.</p> Penn State Press, hardcover
