190845884London: Bertram Dobell. 1908. First trade; First. Hardcover. Very Good-. 8vo; li 351 pages; Publisher's pale plum linen spine lettered in dark brown and with a decorative device in gilt. An unworn copy but with some lifting of the binding cloth -- particularly at the edges and minor cover spine -- particularly along the spine. This copy of the first trade publication of these letters is greatly enhanced by a presentation inscription from the publisher / editor Bertram Dobell to the dean of Shelley collectors of his time. This ink inscription appears in ink on the front free-endpaper: "H. B. Foman Esq. / with the compls. and good / wishes of Bertram Dobell." Beneath this inscription Mr. Dobell has ventured into verse: "To Shelley both of us pay homage due / I a poor squire his Knightly cham_ / pion you. pen flourish. The presentation is confirmed by the presence of the engraved pictorial bookplate of H. Buxton Forman -- which depicts the collector working at papers at his desk overseen by a portrait bust of Shelley on the shelves above. The provenance is further confirmed by the recipient's neat and tiny pencil note on the uppper corner of the verso of the front-free endpaper: HBF / "20 ii 08 / day of recpt" Forman has clipped and tucked a collection of reviews of the book loosely inside the rear cover -- there are minormarks from two cellophane stamp hinges still present which once held the clipped reviews in place. Henry. Buxton Forman 1842-1917 was an active book collector bibliographer editor and civil servant. He is still remembered his bibliographies of Percy Shelley and John Keats -- which seemed definitive in their time and for many years afterward. For many years during the later decades of the nineteenth century his name was frequently associated with the active collector and literary bibliographer Thomas James Wise. Alas through some combination of avid admiration of the most collectable of poets and authors Wise and Forman "published" a series of forgeries -- these were mostly genuine works but issued by Wise and Forman in tiny private editions with false or misleading imprints. But it must be stated that both these gentlemen kept busy with some legitimate activities and publications with the expanding world of collecting and bibliography. Both men were active in the "Shelley Society" from the time of its founding in 1885 -- as was Bertram Dobell publisher of this volume. Most scholars consider that Forman withdrew from the nefarious end of his active literary life after recoverning from a mysterious illness in 1906 and his retiring from the Post Office in 1907. He appears to have wanted to disassociate himself from T. J. Wise who continued with his old ways right up until exposure came in 1934 with the publication of ' An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets' in 1934 -- carefully written by two younger booksellers: Graham Pollard and John Carter. Forman was long gone by then -- but Pollard and Carter's well-researched and documented book ruined the lofty reputation of Thomas J. Wise as a collector and authority on literary matters. It should be acknowledged the both the letters published here and the circumstances under which this 1908 publication saw the light of day -- are entirely genuine. There is a statement on the final page of Bertram Dobell's introduction to this book: "These letters were transcribed in 1896 by Mr. Thos. J. Wise who in 1900 printed them for private circulation only in an issue . of thirty copies. The book is now reprinted from stereotyped plates then made; but the introduction and notes are now added for the first time."--p. li. This statement is neither completely true nor entirely definitive as to the activity of Thomas J. Wise in relation to Shelley's correspondence with the unfortunate Miss Hitchener who died in 1821. But without regard to the complicated tale of Wise's intervention in these texts it can be confidently stated that the original letters passed as a legacy to Charles Hargrove who gave them to the British Museum in 1907; they are now in the British Library. It is an interesting side-light on the complex history of the T. J. Wise and H. Buxton Forman literary "enterprises" -- that the present volume bears on its last leaf the truthful printer's slug of the firm of "Richard Clay London." The Clay firm had done the physical work of printing most of the Wise forgeries over the course of several decades -- Wise was then a universally respected collector and scholar who happened to be a very very good customer of the printing firm of Richard Clay . Of course most of that very active firm's work was done without any intention to deceive as was the case with this 1908 book. An interesting copy to say the least.; Signed by Editor .

New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Mary Shelley</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Gray Rabbit Publishing</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781604599350</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2010</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 362</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> Mary Shelley founded modern science fiction with her 1816 classic Frankenstein. A decade later she inaugurated the subgenre of post-apocalyptic sf with the less-lauded and less-known The Last Man. Shelley used the found-manuscript trope for this book claiming to have discovered a series of seemingly connected stories on various pages in the Cumaean Sibyl's Cave and stitched them together into this originally three-volume work. The story told here of a far-future late 21st century is related by the last man the sole survivor of a planet-wide plague that has brought an end to human civilization. The Last Man was published during a more optimistic time and arrived on the scene to poor reviews and poor sales it was a novel out of time. It languished for a century and a half until its scholarly rediscovery in the 1960s which had its own pessimistic outlook. Now in an era where global disaster through causes seen or unforeseen becomes increasingly plausible Shelley's tale of the "stormy and ruin-fraught passions of man" finds a new home and a new audience. The Last Man is published here complete and unabridged in one-volume with Shelley's own footnotes and introduction. Mary Wollsteonecraft Godwin was born in 1797 the daughter of author Mary Wollstonecraft who wrote Vindication of the Rights of Woman and radical philosophy William Godwin. Raised by her father following her mother's early death her education came through contact with her father's intellectual circle and her own reading. She met poet and author Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1812 married him in 1814 and in response to a bet among her husband's circle of friends wrote Frankenstein in 1816. Mary bore four children three of whom died in infancy. Her husband died in 1822 and she returned to England with her surviving son to support herself as a writer of novel short stories and travelogues and as the editor of her husband's works. She died in 1851.</p> Gray Rabbit Publishing hardcover
