1908002451Thomas Y. Crowell Publishers New York. 1908 The early 20th century decorative leather book is a translation that Jewett undertook a version of the complex Middle English poem The Pearl in the original meter and selected lyrics such as a "Nativity Song" adapted from the work of Jacopone da Todi. The "Pearl Poet" or the "Gawain Poet" is the name given to the author of Pearl an alliterative poem written in 14th-century Middle English known from a single surviving manuscript the British Library holding Cotton Nero A.x. This body of work includes some of the greatest poetry written in Middle English. The Pearl Poet remains unidentified. Some scholarship has argued to assign the poem to one John Massey a member of the landed gentry from Cheshire. This attribution of the poems of Cotton Nero A.x is not widely accepted however reflected in the ongoing use of the labels "Pearl Poet" or "Gawain Poet." Title: The Pearl A Middle English Poem A Modern Version in the Metre of the Original Author: "Pearl Poet" Sophie Jewett Translator Associate Professor of English Literature in Wellesley College. Publisher: Thomas Y. Crowell Publishers New York. Edition: Copyright 1908; Published September 1908. Third Thousand. Binding/description: Finely rebound circa 1920 3/4 burgundy leather over marble paper boards gilt decorated spine with five raised bands matching marble endpapers upper gilt leaf edge. Author Note: Jewett initially published poetry under the pseudonym Ellen Burroughs borrowed from her mother's name. Fellow poet Richard Watson Gilder called her a true poet with a golden gift. Miss Jewett was said to be shy and self-critical about her poetry and disliked the process of offering her books up for publication and she was said to possess a sharp wit and was skilled at repartee. Sophie Jewett was a writer of faith and vision. Dimensions: 0.5 W × 5 D × 6.75 H inches. Condition Notes: Fine; light to be expected wear with age and use strong square spine light age-toned text pages. A beautiful copy. Hardcover. Fine/No Jacket. Thomas Y. Crowell Publishers, New York. hardcover

24123In another hand: ‘Written Oct 7. 1870.’ New York. During Lahrbush’s lifetime William John Thoms in his ‘Human Longevity’ 1873 described his claim to have been born in 1766 as ‘the most barefaced case of pretended centenarianism which has ever come under my notice’. ‘Capt. Lahrbush’ who claimed to have been born in 1766 ended his days in New York. He also claimed to have guarded Napoleon in St Helena and to have obbained a lock of Bonaparte’s hair there. In fact he was court-martialled for fraud in 1818 and sent as a convict to Australia. See Roberts and Roussac ‘Authenticating a Lock of Napoleon’s Hair: The Bizarre and Dubious Career of Frederick Lahrbush’ ‘The Gazette’ 2002 and the article on the Rollins College Archive website ‘Enough Hair to Carpet Versailles’ On 11.5 x 5 cm slip of paper laid down part of leaf from an album.

629920 and 22 January and 3 March 1890; all from Scarsdale Great Malvern. All three items in very good condition. Interesting series of letters by an obscure 1890s poet. Letter One 12mo 7 pp: Although he realises that some are 'rather poor' he is sending through his brother possibly the artist Alan Wright 1864-1959 'all the lyrics I have by me': 'I have not had time to "weed" yet being veryy busily engaged writing lyrics for a Comedy-Opera 'Ethelinda or a Philanthropic Fad' 1890 on which he collaborated with Hamilton O. Wylde - & a libretto for Operetta; also been trying my hand at very sensational prose'. He has 'quite forgotten' the poem 'Yesterday': 'There is a lyric in the brown-paper-covered book "But Yesterday" - but I do not know if that is the one.' He will 'submit a Sonnet or something to "Igdrasil" shortly'. He misses 'Comus' a magazine edited by Parkes 1888-9: 'as there was always something to attract one in it - more than can be said for most mushroom-papers do forgive the epithet - it was not intended of this era'. He has been 'rather shakey' 'suffering with nicotine poisoning of the lower lip'. He is sending Parkes the 'last collection of my verses' entitled 'In Idle Hours' no copy on COPAC. 'It is coverless - Pardon that - I trust the inside will gain your favour. It is out of print - & only 12 copies were printed. Three on rough-edged paper - others as this one. It is I regret one of the follies of a year past. Cavil not therefore O Critic - but pity the poor deluded youth!' Letter Two 12mo 1 p: Parkes's 'friend may like to see the enclosed lyrics not present - which I have just written.' Letter Three 12mo 4 pp: Apologises for asking for the return of his lyrics 'safe to hand to night'. 'The Composer I sent to however was hard to please: in fact I was unable to do business with him'. He has a 'little collection of Sonnets . in the press' nothing on COPAC under either Broad or Wright. Wonders whether Parkes will 'put the Sonnet "Igdrasil" in the magazine of that name'. 'I suppose "Comus" will appear again "pro bono publico" - I have been writing short stories lately for which I seem to have a slight gift.' In fact my first was well received by a large firm & I am awaiting further hearing from them.' Hopes he may send 'anything in the poetry-line for insertion in "Igdrasil" as I shall submit nothing but what is worthy of my best attempts'. In a postscript reports that the libretto on which he has been collaborating see above is 'now musically complete' and 'on the eve of printing prior to copyrighting. It is of novel & original plot & action.' 20 and 22 January and 3 March 1890; all from Scarsdale, Great Malvern. unknown
