This volume constitutes the first collected edition of Keats and only the second collected works of Coleridge & Shelley although only volume 1 issued in 5 parts of the 1826 edition of Shelley's works was issued and the edition was not completed and contains works published here for the first time from all three poets. Each poets work is preceded by a short life of the author. The memoir of Keats is by Leigh Hunt. Although Keats' literary executor Charles Armitage Brown disliked Hunt's portrayal of his friend his own account of Keats life was not ready in time for this edition and would not see publication for another 108 years in 1937. He did however send some unpublished poems in his possession for inclusion in the volume. The memoir of Shelley was written by Mary Shelley who also helped the publication of this edition by allowing the publisher access to his papers. Although this volume was published by the Galignanis in Paris avoiding the British copyright and meaning no royalties would be due they did have the co-operation of family members and literary friends of all three poets when assembling this impressive volume.;. 1268602.

26009Three of the five from 1900 28 and 31 August and 4 September; and two from 1901 5 and 13 December. All on letterheads of the Shakespeare Memorial Stratford-upon-Avon. These five items are part of a collection of correspondence the rest is offered separately relating to a supposed portrait of a young Percy Bysshe Shelley by George Romney which was in a group of paintings donated to the Shakespeare Memorial Association by the appropriately-named anatomist Evan Marlett Boddy. The Shelley portrait is reproduced in ‘The Magazine of Art’ 1901 with the caption ‘Reputed portrait of Shelley as a boy by Romney. In the Shakespeare memorial Stratford-on-Avon.’ in an article on ‘Portraits of Shelley at the National Portrait Gallery’ p. 494. The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was founded through the efforts of local brewer Charles Edward Flower 1830-1892 after whose death its management was taken over by his brother Edgar Flower 1833-1903 also Chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. On Edgar’s death these duties fell to his son Archibald Flower 1865-1950 several times mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon. Between 1899 and 1901 Boddy donated at least twelve portraits to be hung in the Shakespeare Memorial reading room from the correspondence wood carvings also appear to have been donated. Details of the first seven portraits including the supposed Romney one of Shelley are contained in a letter in the separate collection of correspondence of 11 December 1899 from Boddy to the Shakespeare Memorial librarian the archaeologist William Salt Brassington 1859-1939. The paintings included supposed works by Henry Fuseli ‘The Fuseli Macbeth’ and Sir Peter Lely Nell Gwynne Henry Wyatt Coleridge one of Alexander Pope ‘attributed to Hogarth’ as well as a ‘Garrick portrait’ one of Nell Gwynne and a ‘Spanish Lady’. In 1916 Boddy demanded their return on discovering that the Archibald Flower had broken the condition that Boddy had arranged in 1900 with the then librarian W. S. Brassington: ‘The Portraits were to be hung together and remain so.’ The present five items comprise four in 12mo totaling 8pp; and one the first in 4to 1p the first part of which is typed and the latter part in autograph. All signed ‘W. S. Brassington’. All in good condition lightly aged. In the first letter 28 August 1900 he writes: ‘Dear Dr. Boddy / Following the investigations respecting the portrait of Shelley I find that the description on the frame of the picture is not quite correct. / “Percy Bysshe Shelley aged 13 by G. Romney.†Shelley was born in 1792 and in 1805 he was 13 years old. Romney died in 1802 and did not paint much for some years before his death. From a careful examination of the portrait it appears to me that the subject is a boy of about 8 or 9 years of age and consequently the portrait may have been painted by Romney in or about the year 1800. Next month I hope to meet Dr. Garnett Richard Garnett 1835-1906 at the meeting of the Library Association at Bristol and hear what he has to say on the subject; He is the greatest living authority on Shelley. I am also writing to the author of a new life of Romney and hope to find a record of the sittings in Romney’s notes.’ In the second letter 31 August 1900 he recaps the position adding: ‘The more I see of the picture the more I like it: it is beautiful and to me more interesting than any of the others: it would be a treasure for any gallery.’ In the third letter 4 September 1900 he comments on a photograph of the Shelley portrait presumably for the ‘Magazine of Art’ article which he considers excellent. On 5 December 1901 Brassington writes: ‘Since last I had the pleasure of seeing you Miss Florence May has been hunting up the bust of Shelley which Mrs Leigh Hunt made & gave to Thomas Carlyle. It has now been found in Scotland and the owner has kindly sent me for the Memorial an etching made from the bust by W. Bell-Scott. It appears that the present representatives of the Shelley family do not like the bust though it undoubtedly is a likeness and it has a resemblance to the Romney portrait which renders it all the more interesting to me.’ In the last of the five letters 13 December 1901 he write: ‘It is quite time as you say that misfortunes attend some poor souls even after death but I fancy the poor departed generally score in the end if they deserve to do so. In Shelley’s case this must be so & it is a score that his portrait should be here. I shall do my best to get the Leigh Hunt Bust placed beside the Romney Portrait before next April.’ There is a final reference to his ‘young friend Nupean’. Three of the five from 1900 (28 and 31 August, and 4 September); and two from 1901 (5 and 13 December). All on letterheads of th unknown

1836AQ27067Amsterdam: Hendrik Frijlink 1836. viii 312pp. With a lithograph frontispiece by H. J. Backer. Original publisher's green moire cloth-backed cream paper boards contrasting black calf lettering-piece. Lightly rubbed and marked chipping to lettering-piece. Internally clean and crisp. The first edition in Dutch printed in the year after the English original of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's 1797-1851 fifth and penultimate novel; a romance that differs from her earlier work in its shift away from the supernatural or historical to a more contemporary setting to critique the limitations of the conventional Victorian class system. The novel's modern editor Lisa Vargo Lodore 1997 Introduction p.18-19 has noted the text's engagement with the education and social role of women suggesting that it dissects a patriarchal culture that pressured women into dependence on men. In the view of critic Betty T. Bennett Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley: An Introduction 1998: 'the novel proposes egalitarian educational paradigms for women and men which would bring social justice as well as the spiritual and intellectual means by which to meet the challenges life invariably brings'. The Literary Gazette No. 949 1835 heaped praise upon the novel dubbing Shelley 'one of the most original of our modern writers'. . First edition in Dutch. 8vo. Hendrik Frijlink hardcover
1887146191London: Walter Scott 1887. First edition presentation copy inscribed by the author to a fellow poet Shelley critic and literary biographer "To Mathilde Blind. With the admiration & affection of her friend William Sharp. Oct 27 '87". Blind was a recognized authority on poetry among her contemporaries lecturing on Shelley and editing A Selection from the Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley 1872. Blind 1841-1896 who wrote the first biography of George Eliot in 1883 was widely read and praised in Britain and America for her epic poem The Ascent of Man 1889 a feminist response to Darwin. She was a prominent voice in the New Woman movement a feminist ideal of the late 19th century that included figures such as Vernon Lee Amy Levy and Olive Schreiner. Like Shelley Blind's "burning sense of political and social injustice runs like a unifying thread through her work" Orlando. Blind's literary and political careers paralleled that of her close friend William Sharp 1855-1905 who later wrote her eulogy. A women's rights activist Sharp published under the pseudonym Fiona Macleod from 1893 but his erstwhile friend William Butler Yeats likely sensed Macleod's true identity. "The production of the female persona of Fiona seems to have caused Sharp frequent ill health culminating in a near total breakdown in 1897-8; moreover he had a feeling of being haunted by past lives" ODNB.
