Paris, Gallimard, 18 décembre 1965. Fort in-8, demi-chagrin rouge à coins, dos à nerfs, signet, 834 pp. Avec la liste de distribution (auteurs cités et personnages réels, fictifs et les oeuvres). Edition originale de cette Importante étude de critique littéraire. Bel exemplaire. André Wurmser, né à Paris le 27 avril 1899 et mort à Paris le 6 avril 1984, est un journaliste et écrivain français. Il a également écrit sous le pseudonyme de Casimir Lecomte. Il fut notamment secrétaire du Comité de vigilance des intellectuels antifascistes (1934-1939), rédacteur en chef de la revue Russie d'aujourd'hui (1937-1939), membre du comité directeur des Amis de l'Union soviétique, et éditorialiste au journal L'Humanité (1954-1984). En plus de son activité journalistique, André Wurmser poursuit son travail littéraire. Il publie notamment en 1964 cette étude approfondie de l'œuvre de BALZAC sous le titre : La Comédie inhumaine. Ce travail lui inspire cette remarque quelques années plus tard : « Un peu de balzacianisme éloigne du communisme, toute la comédie humaine y ramène ».

pp. (8), (24), 200. Added wood cut title page. Wood cut text illustrations and initials by Richard Doyle. 8vo. 20.5 cm. Attractive Late 19th century binding of half morocco leather over marbled boards . Slightly rubbed. Manuscript inscription to Caroline H. Dall from John Patton, 1850. Leigh Hunt was "as thorough a man of letters as ever existed" (11th Ed. EB). He was much beloved by most of the ma jor English literary figures of the both the Romantic and Victorian periods. Dickens said that he was, "the very soul of truth and honour." His writing still has the capacity to easily charm us. This is a delightful collection of essays on the pastoral poetry of Sicily. It was first issued as a beguiling 'gift book', but has come to be regarded as as worthy sequel to Hunt's critical essays on the English poets ( 'Imagination and Fancy' and 'Wit and Humour'). The illustrative chapter heads by the renowned English caricaturist Richard Doyle (1824-1883) strike just the right tone for this interes ting work. Included are essays on: Christmas and Italy; Sicily, and its Mythology; Glances at Ancient Sicilian History and Biography; Theocritus; Norman Times, Legend of King Robert; Italian and Engli sh Pastoral; Scotch Pastoral; Return to Sicily Mount AEtna; Bees; Miscellaneous Feelings Respecting Sicily, Its Music, Its Religion, and Its Modern Poetry; and, Overflowings of the Jar. "A pleasure so exquisite as almost to amount to pain" -- Leigh Hunt to Alexander Ireland, 2 June 1848. . **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W140
