Printer's device on title page decorative woodcut initials and headpieces. Spines evenly sunned to a warm honey brown corners lightly rubbed short faint scratch to lower board but the binding virtually unworn and happily free of the splaying that plagues vellum books. Leaves lightly rumpled but A VERY FINE COPY the vellum leaves creamy clean and bright and the binding glittering with gold.<br/> <br/> Printed on luxurious vellum and limited to just 50 copies presumably for private circulation among friends of the printer this is a lovely edition of 16th century poems by a mysterious author believed to have been a poet and musician associated with the court of Mary Queen of Scots. This work contains all 36 extant poems attributed to Scott ca. 1520-82/3 including what is considered to be his most historically important work "Ane New Yeir Gift to Quene Mary" 1562 written in support of the young Scottish queen caught between Catholic and Protestant agendas. His other poems consist largely of lyric verses on love and sexuality which DNB describes as possessing "exceptional metrical variety and vernacular directness" with "a musician's ear for rhythm and melody." Scott's poems are known to us via the Bannatyne manuscript now held in the National Library of Scotland which ranks among the most important documents of Scottish Medieval literature. Written by George Bannatyne in 1568 during a period of confinement due to an outbreak of plague it contains a mixture of both secular and religious material including the sole extant copies of several texts. In the preface to the present work the publisher notes that Scott's poetry has been faithfully reproduced from that manuscript and thus "for the first time accurately printed." Very little is known regarding the life of Alexander Scott but he seems to have been attached to the court of Mary Stuart through John Erskine a guardian and counselor to the queen. Given the very limited number of copies made it is not surprising that this work is extremely rare on the market. Printed [by Robert Anderson] for Private Circulation unknown

Vladimir Nabokov - SEALED NEW FIRST PRINTINGBiblio.com

The Original of Laura - Penguin Classics Edition

2010ABE-2676800439Penguin London 2010 SEALED PENGUIN CLASSICS EDITION.David Lodge wrote a brilliant review of this essential book. I would like to quote a section from it and I hope David Lodge will not mind me doing so: "The way the manuscript has been ingeniously edited and reproduced overcomes to a large extent the disappointment and frustration inherent in reading an unfinished and disconnected narrative and achieves an interesting aesthetic effect unintended by the author. If the manuscript had been printed in the conventional way we would have hurried through it vainly seeking some coherent plot or hint of its ultimate direction. As it is the book invites us to linger over the text's quiddity relishing not just its stylistic feats but also the physical marks on the index cards the poignantly shaky hand of an ailing author his revisions and insertions and smudged rubbings out and the tantalising space he left to be filled in later when he found the right word. 'The only way he could posse! ss her was in the most position of copulation'. Few readers will probably read the whole text continuously from the cards but the matching printed text underneath also has a defamiliarising effect on the act of reading when quite often the last line does not extend to the margin. Page 7 for instance ends 'when they and their dog do not happen' and by habit one's brain tries to make sense of this as a complete clause before turning the page to find 'to need it.' This is an effect akin to a caesura in poetry and indeed the structure of the work as a whole is more akin to modern poetry of the Eliot-Pound kind than a conventional novel shifting from one voice to another without explanatory links. Towards the end these jump cuts become more abrupt and there are more cards which bear just a few lines sometimes evidently Nabokov's notes to himself. A line from The Waste Land 'These fragments I have shored against my ruins' might have been a suitable epigraph for The Original of Laura but the last lines of page 21 would make a better one: 'Only by identifying her with an unwritten half-written rewritten difficult book could one hope to render what'. Is it as the blurb claims Nabokov's 'final great book' No. Does it contain brilliant funny astonishing sentences only Nabokov could have written Yes. Should it have been preserved and published Definitely." This new copy is still sealed. It is a heavy volume and it is undoubtedly a typical Nabokov conundrum. To all addicts of this extraordinary writer this is utterly essential. Extra postage may be needed depending on destination.
