18551234<p>Volume 2 has a dark stain along the top edge which extends into the printing on some of the pages. The printing can still be read but it is there. It starts small in the crease at page 67 gets progressively bigger until about pages 218-219 then gets smaller and goes away by the 380s. The books were published by Redfield 110 & 112 Nassau-Street New York 1855 This is the two first volumes of a 3 volume set but third volume is just literary critics and such so the 2 first are by far the most important. Somewhat dry in places but binding holds well and this is not a bad problem. Follows the first print from 1850.</p> Redfield hardcover

First appearance of Poe's short story "William Wilson" Pp. 229-253 in The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1840. Whole volume offered. viii 17-328 pp. With 8 of 9 steel-engraved plates. 7¼x4¾ original morocco elaborately tooled in gilt all edges gilt. First appearance of this sort story later collected in Tales of the Grotesque 1840. BAL 16130. Light scuffing to spine ends and corners; foxing to plates and occasionally to text lacking the frontispiece a signature sprung else very good. Bright gilt and leather. Poe's semi-autobiographical tale of a young man who encounters a mysterious identical twin - who even bears the narrator's name William Wilson - while at boarding school. The bond that grows between the two the narrator's eventual hatred of his twin and the blurring of distinction between the pair was an early venture by Poe into psychology and philosophy and manifested his growing sophistication as a writer. That Wilson shares Poe's day of birth - January 19th - and even his birth year 1809 in some later renderings this first appearance has Wilson's birth year as 1811 that Wilson had a schoolmaster as did Poe named Bransby and that much of Wilson's personal history reflects at least qualitatively much of Poe's stands as evidence of intentional autobiographical treatment. This in turn led to much speculation that the story bears clues to the mental meandering of Poe's own mind - as indeed it might. Poe deemed William Wilson to be one of his "best tales" with seven others. Quinn 430. L37n <br/> <br/> Carey & Hart unknown
1839157721839. Edited by Miss Leslie. Philadelphia: Carey & Hart 1839. Original maroon morocco elaborately stamped in gilt all page edges gilt.<br/> <br/> First Appearance of Poe's intense psychological tale involving the title character being haunted by a whispering doppelgänger -- who leads the narrator to insanity and a duel to the death but of whom. The tale is set at a boy's school in England based on the Manor House School in Stoke Newington which Poe had attended during the years 1817-1820. This first appearance occupies 25 pages of THE GIFT -- soon after which it appeared in the October 1839 issue of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine where it is noted that it is "from The Gift of 1840"; in November 1839 but dated 1840 "William Wilson" was collected in Poe's TALES OF THE GROTESQUE AND ARABESQUE. When Poe subsequently 1842 wrote a review of Hawthorne's TWICE-TOLD TALES -- a review that is regarded as Poe's expression of his own theory of the short story a review regarded as the first American attempt to define the short story as a literary genre -- he noted that the tale "Howe's Masquerade" bore numerous similarities to his own "Willam Wilson." Also included is Harriet Beecher Stowe's 45-page tale "Deacon Enos" about the dishonest property dealings between a deacon and a squire. THE GIFT is bound in the original maroon morocco that is elaborately stamped in gilt on both covers and on the spine. This copy is bright and would be FINE except that on the border of the rear cover there is a one-inch area where the sheen of the leather and a narrow gilt line are affected; all nine plates none pertains to the Poe story are present and have much less foxing than usual. The original yellow endpapers are intact. Blanck 16130 and 992. Provenance: armorial bookplate which is identified in pencil as being that of the Bulkeley-Owen family most likely Thomas Bulkeley Bulkeley-Owen 1790-1867 Tedsmore Hall West Felton Shropshire; also the small bookseller label of J.
