Prima serie in ottime condizioni; alla seconda serie: strappi restaurati, con minime perdite di testo reintegrate calligraficamente a 7 carte nelle novelle "Le Secret de Famille" e "Fauntleroy".

pp. xiii, 175 + Frontis by C. Stanfield. Text foxed. 185 mm. Original quarter leather with marbled boards binding. Spine perished. Boards worn. In January 1842, Charles Dickens set sail for a lecture tour in America, accompanied by his wife Catherine and her maid. In America he received a reception reminiscent of those that met mop-headed rock stars of the 1960's. Americans, expecting him to be grateful for their warm reception, were staggered when this young British goodwill ambassador, at a dinner held in his honor in Boston, dared to criticize them as copyright pirates. Though crowds began to get a bit angry, he did not back down. A week later, in Hartford, he argued that a native American literature would flourish only when American publishers were compelled by law to pay all writers their due, rather than being able to publish the works of any foreign author for free. He argued that it was a bad custom that only served to discourage literary production by American citizens. Before Dickens' visit the American people were generally uninterested in the question of the United States's joining the International Copyright Union. Book, newspaper, and magazine publishers, though, were utterly opposed, and successfully lobbied against any such move in Congress. Undaunted, Dickens circulated a pro-copyright letter which he and a number of other British writers had signed, firm in the belief of the righteousness of their cause. Dickens showed great courage but little tact in assailing American public opinion on this vexing matter while the United States was paying him honors worthy of a national liberator. That he had not mentioned this issue in advance meant that his adoring audiences, taken by surprise, felt chagrined by the criticisms of this obviously mercenary young upstart who had come to their shores to take their money at the theater door and again in the bookshop. The work itself concentrated on his (not always positive) impressions of American life. Of particularly interest are those aspects of social welfare which he took a reformer's interest in, such as the prison system, or care for people with disabilities like blindness. He also was lavish in his stinging condemnation of slavery. TRAVEL BX 5
8vo., Third Edition, with an engraved title-vignette, neat contemporary signature on advertisement leaf, some light spotting to text; original decorative green cloth, upper board elaborately blocked in gilt and black, gilt back, black endpapers, uncut, a very good, bright copy. With the embossed trade stamp of W H Smith on front free endpaper. The first life of Dickens, first published in 1870 barely three weeks after Dickens' death. BLPC gives the author as Henry Thomas Taverner (acknowledged in the publisher's preliminary note) but the work is also attributed to Joseph Grego and William Moy Thomas. NCBEL gives joint authorship to Taverner and Hotten himself (see NCBEL III p.828). The work includes an extensive Appendix of anecdotes and reminiscences. An attractive if slightly aged copy. This edition is apparently not listed in BLPC.
UTET 1999 2 VOLUMI ASSOLUTAMENTE PERFETTI, INTONSI, MAI SFOGLIATI. È sufficiente scorrere l'indice per avvedersi che l'autore ha ritenuto indispensabile, per capire quel che è stato questo secolo, non solo occuparsi di arti e istituzioni (Accademie e Politecnici), ma "mettere al centro della narrazione la scena in cui le arti si sono imposte e affermate. Le esposizioni Universali, i Salons, la metropoli contemporanea di Charles Dickens e di Emile Zola, non potevano restare relegate in una storia separata. Parigi, Berlino e Londra sono gli epicentri della nuova cultura: per questo motivo la trattazione accenna solo occasionalmente all'Italia ed esclude gli Stati Uniti e la Russia. Importante inoltre è l'inserimento di un capitolo dedicato alla fotografia, grande invenzione del secolo. Cesare de Seta, storico dell'arte e dell'architettura moderna e contemporanea, insegna all'Università di Napoli Federico Ile periodicamente al l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes di Parigi Dinge il Centro Studi sull'iconografia della città europea e il progetto - Atlas de la ville européenne presso la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Ha pubblicato numerosi volumi tradotti in diverse lingue si segnalano La cultura architettonica in Italia tra le due guerre, Electa, Milano 1998, Cinta, territorio e Mezzogiorno in Italia, Einaudi, Torino 1976, Napoli fra Rinascimento e Illuminismo, Electa, Milano 1996 Architettura, ambiente e società a Napoli nel '700, Einaudi, Torino 1981, L'architettura del Novecento, Utet.

Chastel, Franco Maria Ricci, Milano 1966, con J Le Goff, La città e le mura, Laterza, Ban 1989, con A. Blunt, Architettura e città barocca, Guida, Napoli 1973 Dirige la collana Le città nella storia d'Italia » presso Laterza nella quale sono comparsi 45 volumi di cui, a sua firma, Napoli e Palermo, ha curato i volumi Il Paesaggio e Insediamenti e territorio della Storia d'Italia Einaudi. Ha curato mostre in Italia e all'estero Scrive per il Corriere della Sera». Appare subito evidente l'originale articolazione che caratterizza questi due volumi sulle arti figurative nel secolo della borghesia», ossia nel periodo compreso all'incirca tra il Congresso di Vienna e l'inaugurazione della Tour Eiffel. Infatti è sufficiente scorrere l'indice per avvedersi che l'autore ha ritenuto indispensabile, per capire quel che è stato questo secolo, non solo occuparsi di arti e istituzioni (Accademie e Politecnici) che divengono le autentiche fucine della nuova professionalità, ma «mettere al centro della narrazione la scena in cui le arti si sono imposte e affermate. Le Esposizioni Universali, i Salons, la metropoli contemporanea di Charles Dickens e di Emile Zola, non potevano restare relegate in una storia separata. Sono appunto il panorama che definisce queste arti, e questo panorama ha un aspetto urbano e uno industriale... in un secolo che per definizione è il secolo dell'industrializzazione, delle manifatture e delle merci ed è anche il secolo in cui la città diventa metropolis. Parigi, Berlino e Londra sono gli epicentri della nuova cultura: per questo motivo la trattazione accenna solo occasionalmente all'Italia ed esclude gli Stati Uniti e la Russia, ancora ai margini dei grandi fenomeni artistici. Importante inoltre è l'inserimento, inusuale in una storia dell'arte, di un ampio capitolo dedicato alla fotografia, grande invenzione del secolo che contribuirà a modificare i modi stessi di dipingere «dando impulso a linee di ricerca originali in territori verso i quali la foto non era ancora attrezzata a muoversi».
