Engraved portrait. iv 214; ii ii general title 157 1 ads pp. with half-title to first part and general title "Wallenstein. A Drama in Two Parts" bound with second part. 8vo. Period half calf and marbled boards green morocco spine label. Some foxing to portrait and first few leaves. First edition of Coleridge's English translation. Engraved portrait. iv 214; ii ii general title 157 1 ads pp. with half-title to first part and general title "Wallenstein. A Drama in Two Parts" bound with second part. 8vo. The first English edition of Schiller's Wallenstein set in Germany during the Thirty Years War and translated by Samuel Taylor Coleridge from a manuscript copy of the first German edition of 1799. Coleridge completed much of the translation - a free and poetic translation in blank verse - at Lamb's home in London seated at his desk in "a voluminous five-penny floral dressing-gown decorated with hieroglyphics . looking suspiciously 'like a conjuror' according to Lamb" Holmes Coleridge: Early Visions p. 261. The translation which omitted the first part of Schiller's trilogy Wallenstein's Camp was done in part to capitalize on the contemporary fashion for Schiller whose verse-drama The Robbers Coleridge had long admired. It was one of many of Coleridge's translation schemes hatched during his time abroad studying the language and literature of Germany. "In the event the project was a financial disaster earning him only £50 in advances while Longman lost £250 on the combined editions" ibid p. 267. Despite that Coleridge "was proud of his work and long afterwards described it as 'a specimen of my happiest attempt during the prime manhood of my intellect before I had been buffeted by adversity or crossed by fatality" ibid p. 268.

182042714n. p. 1820. White laid paper black printing.German-language text. Light creasing to top edge; minor foxing; small loss to heading minimally affecting one letter; light center fold line. VG. Broadside printed recto only. 14-1/4" x 8-1/2" <br/><br/>Playbill for a performance on Thursday September 28 1820 at an unnamed playhouse possibly the Frankfurt City Theatre. The star-crossed lovers were played by Herr Becker and Demoiselle Lindner both of whom appear in that theatre's records for other plays. The playbill lists box office times and locations cost differences for the various areas of seating the starting time of 6 o'clock in the evening etc. Interestingly a performance of "Der Corsar" "The Corsair" an opera in two acts is advertised for the following morning which we speculate was based on Byron's wildly popular work of the same name. This opera predates both Francesco Maria Piave's libretto and Verdi's opera of the same name. "Intrigue and Love" was first performed on 13 April 1784 at the Schauspiel Frankfurt in Frankfurt to wide acclaim and continues to be performed today. (n. p.) unknown books

199049189New York: Battledore Ltd 1990. hardcover. Carroll Lewis. 6 x 9 inches. hardcover. 111 pages. Collectors and those interested in children's books will find this work fascinating as it unearths information about the first actual printing of Alice in Wonderland. Encouraged by his friends Reverend Charles Dodgson otherwise known as Lewis Carroll first had Alice published by Macmillan & Co. and printed by the Clarendon Press in June 1865 arranging to have a specially bound copy delivered to Alice Liddell the famous Alice for whom the story was spun the next month on July 4. However not several weeks after that John Tenniel the illustrator wrote to Dodgson complaining of his dissatisfaction with the printing of his illustrations. Macmillan examined one of the unbound copies of the book and agreed to fully reprint the book using a more commercial printer from London Richard Clay. The condemned printing was then sold to David Appleton & Co. an overseas publishing house who wanted to distribute copies of the book in America. Only 1952 copies were sold to them of the original 2000 copy print run. The title-pages were redone with a New York imprint dated 1866 the sheets were machine-folded and put into cloth bindings with Appleton's name on the lower spine and the new title-page substituted on a stub for the earlier one. Meanwile Macmillan completed its new edition in November 1865 but post-dated this printing 1866 in time for the holidays. As of this writing twenty-two copies of the original 1865 Alice are located and known to have survived with their original title-pages plus one copy presented to Christ Church Library currently lost by the author. This work resolves the whereabouts of Macmillan's file copy and hopefully provides a framework for future research. An excellent book which contains a wealth of information about the publication of Alice in Wonderland. Well-illustrated throughout. Battledore Ltd unknown books
