18982708London: Leonard Smithers 1898. First edition. Fine. One of 800 copies on handmade Van Gelder paper. A Fine copy without the fading or soiling typical of this book. Pages unopened. Housed in a custom case and chemise. Wilde's later work based on his two years hard labor at Reading Gaol for "gross indecency." Published under the pseudonym "C. 3. 3." for his cell block because the publisher feared having his name on the work would adversely affect sales. <br/><br/>The poem is based on a fellow inmate convicted of murdering his wife and generated one of the great lines from Wilde "Yet each man kills the thing he loves." Wilde continued to revise his plays until his death in 1900 but said that he had lost the joy of writing and would write no other new works. An excellent copy housed in a handsome slipcase with chemise. Fine. Leonard Smithers unknown books

Preceded by the Brentano's edition circa 1898 though often considered the first American edition. This edition was published in two states the first in which the text appears on rectos only and some leaves are untrimmed; in the second the text is printed on rectos and versos: "Both editions that printed on one side and that printed on both sides are from the same type. It is therefore clear that they are not two independent editions but the one-side issue constitutes merely a kind of de-luxe variety while the two-sided is a cheaper popular version of the same edition" Horodisch pages 76-77. This copy comports with the first state with text printed one side only. A printer's binder's issue is extant as at least one leaf is hinged at the top edge. Is it possible that what Horodisch thought a deluxe issue is merely error some of which made it to the wild Issued by Benjamin R. Tucker the noted anarchist publisher and editor of the journal Liberty in which Tucker published the essay "The Criminal Jailers of Oscar Wilde" in 1895.
