1852951865London: Edward Moxon Dover Street 1852. leather_bound. Sehr gut. vi 1 1 blank 165 2 1 blank pp. - 8 pp. List of Books. Ganzleder Handeinband mit reicher Vergoldung. Octavo ca. 197 x 124 mm. Einband minimalst berieben erste und letzte Blätter braunfleckig sehr schönes Exemplar. Contemporary olive morocco 203 x 133 x 175 mm spine with five raised bands panelled and lettered in gilt richly gilt with gilt fleural tools and lines boards with gilt line panels. Top edge gilt burgundy endleaves. Bound by Riviere & Son and signed on upper turn-in. This is the first edition of the Browning Essay. Edward Moxon bought twenty three letters at a Sotheby & Wilkinson sale 12 May 1851. The vendor of these letters was the bookseller William White who had obtained them with other items including Byron forgeries from 'Major George Gordon de Luna Byron' also known as DeBibler who claimed to be the illegitimate son of the poet Byron by a Spanish lady. The son of Sir Francis Palgrave realised that Letter XXI to William Godwin from Florence was cribbed from a letter to his father. "An ingenious forgery perpetrated by an impostor claiming to be the natural son of Lord Byron. Two genuine letters which happened to be in Moxon's hands were included. The fraud was discovered to the chagrin of Browning and Moxon who at once destroyed all obtainable copies of the book" Granniss. The two genuine letters in the present volume are No. V to Sir James Henry Lawrence August 17 1812 = Ingpen #186; de Ricci 186 and No. XXIII to Keats Pisa July 27 1820 = Ingpen #484; de Ricci 484. "One of the most ingenious literary forgeries of modern times is recalled by a rare work which a London bookdealer now is offering for sale for $375. It is an octavo volume published in 1852 by Moxon and entitled 'Letters of P. B. Shelley with an introductory essay by Robert Browning. Browning really wrote the introduction but not one of the twenty-five letters in it is by Shelley. These letters purported to have been sent by Percy Bysshe Shelley the eminent English poet to various of his friends. They were clever imitations of his hand-writing and bore the postmarks of cities in which it was known that Shelley had resided. The book made a sensation. Browning's preface is one of his most admired pieces of prose writing. Moxon sent copies of the work to a number of distinguished literary men among others Lord Alfred Tennyson. Francis Turner Palgrove son of Sir Francis Palgrove the historian was at the time a guest of Lord Tennyson. He picked up the book one day and opened it at a letter from Shelley to Godwin his father-in-law which seemed strangely familiar to him. He read on and found that the letter was a plagiarism of an article which his father had contributed to the Quarterly Review in 1840. Moxon when informed of this discovery said that he had bought the letters at a public sale and that they seemed authentic. The handwriting appeared genuine the seal was Shelley's and the addresses bore the stamp of the Post Offices of the italian towns where Shelley had lived. It happened that at the same sale the poet's son Sir Percy Florence Shelley had bought other letters of his father which were of a private and personal character. These letters were found to be at utter variance with well-known facts. Moxon at once suppressed the book the auctionneer said that the letters had come to him from a bookseller named W. White. White in turn said that he had bought them from an unknown woman who claimed to have received them from Fletcher Lord Byron's servant. Further search revealed that behind this unknown woman was the forger George Gordon Byron alias De Gibler. This adventurer bore a striking resemblance to Lord Byron had assumed his name and had passed himself off as Byron's natural son. He almost succeeded in palming off on a publisher some unedited remains of Lord Byron. As soon as the facts about the letters became known he disappeared ."

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. Octavo. Original blue cloth spine lettered in gilt top edge gilt others uncut. Bookplate of R. G. E. Sandbach on front pastedown. Spine slightly cocked and rubbed minor rubbing to covers couple of small marks to front cover faint foxing to endpapers and a couple of margins else bright. A very good copy. hardcover
