Fine copy in a fine dust jacket. From the publisher: “These essays were only recently recovered from the archives of the University of Padua by Louis Berrone of Fairfield University. Because Professor Berrone was interested in the influence of Dickens on Joyce he made a special trip to Padua hoping he would be able to find the manuscript mentioned by Joyce in a letter to his brother dated April 25 1912.†To our benefit Berrone’s treasure hunt uncovered two essays by Joyce - one on Dickens and another on the Renaissance. Included in this book is a detailed description of Joyce’s life in Padua during the time he wrote the essays and how this setting and context influenced Joyce’s future works in both fiction and nonfiction.

1930VBF04<br /><b>JOYCE</b> James:<br /><br /><i><b>Seven Poems</b></i> . set to music by E. I. Moeran.<br /><br />Oxford: Oxford University Press 1930.<br /><br />Folio 20pp; stiff paper wrappers with printed paper label.<br /><br /><b>First edition thus</b> the text selected from <i>Chamber Music</i> 1907 a song cycle beautifully arranged about a journey of love reflected through the seasons. Each piece depicts oneʼs experiences with love and nature through the various seasons of life. Two poems are cheerful in nature and the other five are melancholy. The subject of each is love and the music of nature and the songs take the listener on a journey through lifeʼs seasons: the bustle of spring the sunny days of summer a rainy fall day and the barren landscape of winter. Although Moeranʼs settings are folk-like they use parallel fourths and fifths to achieve more dissonance in the harmony.<br /> Oxford University Press paperback books

1945D7489likely Germany 1945. Paperback. Very Good. Heavy cardstock leaves oblong 325 x 250 mm bound with thin blue rope tassled along spine; pp. 54 with text handwritten in black ink in German and English with original illustrations in ink or ink and gouache both in text and full-page. Created from 32 leaves some of them glued together along the edges creating a new page when the author/illustrator wanted to change her lay-out text or illustration -- these have since become detached offering an interesting look at the author's creative process. Binding broken and leaves loose but in excellent condition suitable for display. The artwork is extraordinary -- showing cute little chicks as their adventure takes them from fields full of flowers to lakes brimming with colorful fish. It tells a story of 3 little chicks who find a mysterious blue egg which they are told not to play with but they do and learn some valuable lessons from the consequences. Though little is known about the author she appears in a tiny b/w photograph on the ultimate full-page illustration. More of her unrelated artwork is laid-in at rear including pastels of trees floral arrangements in gouache -- lovely suitable for framing. <br/><br/> paperback books
