LIGUORI 2010 666 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: PERFETTO E INTONSO Tra la fine del XVIII e i primi decenni del XIX secolo, nell'età delle rivoluzioni (politiche, economiche, culturali), l'Europa fu attraversata da trasformazioni storiche ed antropologiche essenziali. Nell'ambito della cultura e delle arti, il movimento che più di altri seppe riflettere lo "spirito del tempo" fu il Romanticismo, tendenza che auspicava sia il recupero della tradizione che una propria identità controcorrente. La ricostruzione messa a punto in questo volume fa ben emergere come, nell'età romantica, l'arte (attraverso le poetiche di artisti quali Goya, Friedrich, Géricault, Delacroix, Turner, Fontanesi...) si sia manifestata secondo modalità plurali e perciò, di volta in volta, come naturalistica, storica, simbolica. Un'arte radicata nella civiltà filosofica, letteraria e musicale del tempo, le cui espressioni costituiscono uno degli archetipi fondamentali della creatività estetica dell'Occidente. Alfredo De Paz Insegna Metodologia della critica d´arte e Fenomenologia degli stili nell´Università di Bologna. Ha scritto numerosi saggi e libri teorici e storici sull´arte dell´Ottocento e del Novecento. Pur non trascurando i suoi molteplici interessi disciplinari, in una direzione che si dimostra assai sensibile alla storia delle idee, da molti anni è, fra l´altro, impegnato con passione analitica a interpretare l´arte e la cultura del romanticismo europeo in una prospettiva di proiezione contemporanea e postmoderna.

2 vols., roy. 8vo., First Edition thus, LARGE PAPER, with engraved title-vignettes and 110 fine full-page engraved plates; handsomely bound in contemporary full brown diced calf, boards with triple frame border enclosing decorative frame all in gilt, backs with raised bands ruled in gilt, second and fourth compartments lettered and numbered in gilt, all other compartments elaborately tooled in gilt with a geometrical floral flourish, marbled edges, gilt doublures, marbled endpapers, expertly rebacked with old backstrips laid down, a splendid, crisp and remarkably clean copy in sympathetically restored period binding. WITH THE FINE ENGRAVED ARMORIAL BOOKPLATE OF RAWSON BODDAM CROZIER [1775-1849] ON FRONT PASTE-DOWNS. FIRST EDITION OF THIS SELECTION. Large Paper copies are invariably [as here] the first issue with uncorrected page numeral [891] on p.198, and issued without Stockdale's later advertisement leaf for his edition of Gay's Fables. This selection comprises 110 fables, each illustrated with a superb full-page engraving by Blake, Clarke, Eastgate, Grainger, Landseer, Stothard and several other artists. Croxall compiled his translation (first published in 1722) to rival the well-known version of Roger L'Estrange (first published 1692, many times reprinted and prior to Croxall the well-nigh 'standard' text). Croxall accuses his predecessor of Jacobite tendencies, but has himself not resisted the temptation to incorporate political overtones into what is primarily a children's book. A SPLENDID COPY OF THE FIRST STOCKDALE EDITION AND SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
