19446199<p><strong>First edition of '<em>Antony and Cleopatra</em>' translated by Pasternak</strong>. This is the only separate edition of his translation. Printed during wartime approved for printing on June 3 1944.</p><p>This is the third Shakespeare play translated by <strong>Boris Pasternak</strong> 1890-1960 commissioned by the Moscow Art Theatre. He began work on it immediately after completing the translation of '<em>Romeo and Juliet</em>'. By the end of June 1943 the translation was ready for printing. Soviet literary critic Mikhail Morozov described this translation as '<em>the most successful</em>' emphasizing that it transcended mere translation to become a poetic dialogue between two poets. Pasternak himself likened Cleopatra to '<em>the Nastasya Filippovna of antiquity</em>' drawing parallels with heroines such as Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary. <br />Illustrations were created by <strong>Mikhail Pikov</strong> 1903-1973 a student of VKhUTEMAS under Vladimir Favorsky known for his mastery of woodcut techniques.</p><p>Zakharenko 1995. # 114.</p> OGIZ, Goslitizdat paperback

19446179<p><strong>Wartime edition. First edition of '<em>Romeo and Juliet'</em> in Pasternak's adaptation for children.</strong></p><p>At the end of the 1930s Pasternak became a translator: '.<em>.not by good fortune through misprision and if conditions were better I ought not to be translating at all'</em> Makaryk McHugh. Shakespeare and the Second World War. 2012.<br />Two extracts from '<em>Romeo and Juliet'</em> appeared in magazines in 1941 '30 Dney' No 4 and 'Internatsional'naya Literatura' No 5 but the beginning of WWII interrupted his work. In October 1941 Pasternak was evacuated to Chistopol where he finished the translation in February 1942. He wrote to his first wife Eugeniya Pasternak that he was totally absorbed in his work and had not written to anyone for more than two months — 'a conscious sacrifice for "<em>Romeo and Juliet"'</em>Sergeeva-Klyatis. Pasternak v Zhizni. 2015. It costs him 'more pain' than '<em>Hamlet'</em> the first Shakespeare play translated by Pasternak. In Chistopol he gave a public reading at Teacher's House on February 26. Tickets cost four and five rubles and '<em>the event was held as a benefit performance for soldiers of the Red Army'</em> Boris Pasternak: A Literary Biography. Vol. 2. 2004. After the first extremely rare collotype edition 100 copies only the play was not published for a year. Pasternak believed that it was due to the deteriorating political situation between the Soviet Union and the UK: '.<em>.it had an effect on Shakespeare and after him on me so my shares falling.'</em> Lucenko. ".Pod Ruku s Morozovym". 2016.<br />The first official edition was published in <em>OGIZ</em> in February 1944 and the next edition was supposed to appear in <em>Detgiz</em> the state publishing house of children's literature. The author of the preface a literary critic Shakespearean <strong>Mikhail Morozov</strong> 1897–1952 called this translation 'a magnificent artistic creation' but he also considered that this translation is not for children. Pasternak corrected edited and shortened the translation especially for children.<br />Most likely an artist <strong>Elena Rodionova</strong> 1912–1996 prepared these illustrations of '<em>Romeo and Juliet'</em> before WWII. For the first time the illustration with the balcony scene appeared in the magazine '<em>30 Dney'</em> '30 Days' No 4 1941 p. 42.</p><p>Zakharenko 1955. # 113.</p> Detgiz paperback

SHAKEPEARE'S PLEASANT WORK PRESENTED IN aS PLEASING AN ILLUSTRATED format as one could hope to find. Hugh Thomson’s delightfully detailed and skillful illustrations would be hard to surpass making this a true gem in its pretty binding. Thomson's pen-and-ink drawings are in much the same style as those he did for works by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.<br> As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 the house having been a focus for literary activity under Mary Sidney for much of the later 16th century has been suggested as a possibility. <br> The play follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and eventually love in the Forest of Arden. In the forest they encounter a variety of memorable characters notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches "All the world's a stage" and provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country.

178533894London: John Bell British Library Strand 1785. First in the "literary edition" of Shakespeare's plays by Bell. With two frontispiece engravings in the volume. 12mo the play bound into later blue paper wrappers lettered caligraphically in brown on the upper wrapper. iv 5-103 pp. A fine copy very well preserved and with the wrappers as pristine. FIRST OF THE EDITION. The is from Steevens' and Johnson's Scholarly Edition of Shakespeare 1773. This edition prints Observations prior to each play.<br> The "Literary" Shakespeare was published serially beginning in 1785 and collected in 20 vols. What distinguishes this edition from the others by Bell is the elaborateness of the presentation. This was the culmination of a 15 year effort to publish an edition of the Bard's works which had a high cultural value due to its edition annotation and beauty of its typography and illustration. Indeed this edition proved a social triumph for Bell with his assembled 1800 subscribers including the Royal Family except for the Sovereign along with the Queen of France monsieur the King's brother and a collection of 70 nobles.<br> The edition was printed on smooth wove paper and in this edition Bell first replaced the long s � with the modern small rounded s an innovation which quickly caught on. There are many more portraits in this edition than in the earlier "acting" editions of Shakespeare. The engraved frontispieces feature a prominent actor or actress in the role. In contrast to the engravings of the earlier edition these portraits have oval borders and lush backgrounds. The actors themselves are rendered in a much softer more romantic style. <br> The artists Bell commissioned were all under the age of 25 and relatively unknown. Most notable among them was the young Johan Heinrich Ramberg who had come to England from Hanover under the patronage of George III. It is because of these young artists that these portraits are so different from those in the "acting" edition. Ramberg brought with him a European aesthetic and all the artists brought the burgeoning romantic artistic trends to the drawing boards. John Bell, British Library, Strand hardcover
