184837022New York: George P. Putnam 1848. First edition first issue of Poe's classic work. Duodecimo original publishers blind stamped black cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. First issue without the review for Eureka on page 2 of the 16 page catalogue at the end of the book but reads simply: “Poe. — Eureka A Prose Poem: Or the Physical and Metaphysical Universe. By Edgar A. Poe Esq.†In very good condition with some light rubbing to the extremities contemporary inscription to the front free endpaper. Housed in a custom clamshell box. An exceptional example of this rare and important text. Poe considered Eureka his magnum opus but Putnam only agreed to publish 500 copies due to the unique nature of the material. Eureka has often been misunderstood and ridiculed but it is in fact a remarkable precursor of several modern theories of physics and a powerful essay on the material and spiritual universe. Poe hypothesized that the universe began at a set point in the past and was finite rather than infinite. In arguing that the Universe of Stars must be finite he appeals to the evidence of observed experience. Poe wrote “Were the succession of stars endless then the background of the sky would present us an uniform luminosity like that displayed by the Galaxy–since there could be absolutely no point in all that background at which would not exist a star. The only mode therefore in which under such a state of affairs we could comprehend the voids which our telescopes find in innumerable directions would be by supposing the distance of the invisible background so immense that no ray from it has yet been able to reach us at all. That this may be so who shall venture to deny I maintain simply that we have not even the shadow of a reason for believing that it is so.†BAL 16153. George P. Putnam hardcover

Scarce volume of translations of American English European and Slavic poetry including the first Ukrainian translation of E. A. Poe's "The Raven" and Verlaine's "Chanson d'automne."

The translations also include works by Ada Negri Baudelaire Goethe Uhland Lenau Chavchavadze and Baratashvili Rafael Patkanyan as well as various Hungarian South Slavic and Russian authors. The author's preface notes that in some translations he only kept the motif and tone of the original but created his own Ukrainian equivalent. "May the reader excuse me if at times my Ukrainian bandura sang in foreign lands not in the native way but if it blared with the unsteady sound of midnight" preface.<br /> <br /> The editor and translator was Pavlo Hrabovsky Hrabovs'kyi 1864-1902 a poet translator journalist and revolutionary from Kharkiv region. He spent much of his life in forced exile for his political agitation including during the period when the present anthology was prepared. "For his radical populist involvement he was expelled from the Kharkiv Theological Seminary in 1882 and forced to live in Pushkarne under police surveillance. He was imprisoned and then exiled to Irkutsk gubernia in Siberia in 1886. In 1889 in Irkutsk he was again imprisoned; released in 1893 he was forced to live in Viliuisk Yakutsk from 1897 and Tobolsk from 1899 where he died of a pulmonary illness. Hrabovsky corresponded from prison with Galicia's Ukrainians who published his poetry and literary criticism in the journal Pravda Zoria Lviv Dzvinok Narod Zhytie i slovo and Literaturno-naukovyi vistnyk. As a poet he rejected 'art for art's sake' and wrote mainly social political and patriotic verse; he sought out consonant motifs in the works of many Russian European and American poets he translated" Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine article by Ivan Koshelivets.<br /> <br /> As of October 2024 KVK OCLC show only one copy worldwide at Harvard. unknown
1938BB2055Philadelphia: Richard Gimbel 1938. First Edition. Card Covers / Wrappers. Fine. Two copies First and Second Printings of this curious Poeana. Small 8vo 89 x 137mm: 214pp. Original staple-bound dappled purple card covers first and salmon pink wrappers second both printed in black. Text setting identical in both printings; only wrapper text varies. Title page both printings: "Edgar Allan Poe stated that: / 'The Tales of the Folio Club / are sixteen in all.' / Fifteen tales are known. / This is the sixteenth. / Uncovered by Richard Gimbel and Published / Philadelphia July 1938." According to the colophons inside back cover: "This First Edition Attributing The Spectacles to Edgar Allan Poe / is limited to / 100 copies" ours is no. 23. "This Second Edition Attributing / The Spectacles / by / Edgar Allan Poe / is limited to / 1000 copies." Oddly the second printing "edition" is quite rare no copy can be located for sale online at present and WorldCat has no listing; what's more no copy have appeared at auction according to RBH and ABC. Odd because 10 times the number of second printings supposedly were issued. Neat ink date stamp "SEP -1 1938" on verso of title page of first printing else both volumes Fine fresh and unmarked. OCLC: 22233296 and 4448925. Mabbott III pp. 885-886. BAL v. 7 p. 152. Heartman & Canny pp. 234-36. Savoye “Focusing on a Pair of False ‘Spectacles’†Edgar Allan Poe Review Spring 2009 vol. X no. 1 pp. 98-102. Two printings of a spurious Poe text supposedly the "earliest" draft of Poe’s short story “The Spectacles" "discovered" by celebrated Poe collector Richard Gimbel in 1938 then published in the September 24 1938 issue of Liberty magazine "The Spectacles: The Lost Short Story by Edgar Allan Poe Hidden 100 years! Liberty presents a remarkable literary discovery. How the Story was Found. By Edward Doherty." followed by these limited issues. The text is almost certainly a twentieth-century forgery; whether Gimbel perpetrated the hoax or was an unsuspecting dupe is unclear. According to Baltimore’s Edgar Allan Poe Society "The text appears to have been taken from a reprint of the story in Godey’s Lady’s Book for April 1836." Not to be confused with Poe's The Spectacles first published in The Dollar Newspaper Philadelphia March 27 1844 and reprinted in The Broadway Journal November 22 1845 and in Griswold Vol. 1 1850. N.
