A tight bright and Fine copy of this generously produced volume.<br/><br/>"No more tastefully illustrated book of verse could be desired than the elaborately artistic edition of Shelley's Sensitive Plant edited by Mr. Edmund Gosse illustrated with much richness of coloring and gracefulness of design by Mr.<br/>Charles Robinson and imported by the Lippincott Co. Mr. Gosse's introduction throws new light on the ' Lady the wonder of her kind' who played the part of 'an Eve in this Eden ' where grew the sensitive plant. Drawing upon Medwin's notes to a never-published second edition of his life of the poet he tells us that this paragon of her sex was a certain Countess of Mountcashell an Irish lady about fifty years of age of sufficient unconventionality to be welcomed by Shelley and his company as a congenial spirit. The notes on this lady and the editor's gleaning of facts concerning the mimosa pudica or sensitive plant celebrated bythe poet are interesting. The illustrations large and small accompanying the slender thread of text form the conspicuous feature of the book and make it one of the most sumptuous gift volumes of the year. The cover design is a thing of beauty"The Dial 1911. William Heinemann/J.B. Lippincott Co unknown books

First U.S. trade edition as illustrated by Robinson quarto size 128 pp. in original dust jacket. Percy Bysshe Shelley's 1792-1822 "The Sensitive Plant" is a delicate fairy fable about ephemeral beauty and the aspiration to follow dreams when the reality of the senses fails. It was first published in 1820 in "Prometheus Unbound" along with some of Shelley's best known work; here it is re-imagined with the hazy watercolour illustrations of prolific children's book illustrator Charles Robinson 1870-1937. Though paired with Shelley long after his death they are well matched "his black and white illustration reflects the influence of Beardsley and Walter Crane and his watercolour illustrations have delicacy and sensitivity greatly helped by the four colour process early in the century as the alternative to lithography. By incorporating lettering into the page design and in his planning of the book as a whole he developed the Arts and Crafts tradition of the book as a work of art" Peppin Brigid & Micklethwait Lucy "Book Illustrators of the Twentieth Century" p. 265. <br/><br/>This edition of "The Sensitive Plant" certainly exemplifies that ideal of the artist's hand in all aspects of a book's design with a beautifully composed typeface decorative borders pale pink page numbers and stunning full-color mounted plates. With an introduction by Edmund William Gosse 1849-1928 a poet and author who was influential in the literary world of his day encouraging the careers of Yeats and James Joyce he served as the librarian of the House of Lords and a lecturer at Trinity College eventually serving as the literary editor for the 1911 edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica".<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original full green cloth with gilt pictorial upper board and backstrip top edge gilt illustrated endpapers illustrated half-title pictorial title-page first page of the introduction framed in a pictorial border with a large decorative initial eighteen mounted color plates with tissue guards including frontis numerous color and black and white vignettes in text headpieces tailpieces and initials; quarto size 10.5" by 8" pagination: i-vi vii-xii xiii-xvi 17-127 128 the first trade edition as illustrated by Robinson vintage bookseller's ticket on rear paste-down endpaper Brentano's New York.

Written after death of his son while Percy and Mary Shelley struggled with their grief in Pisa the poem consists of four stanzas with three sections charting the change of seasons. It is set in a garden bursting with blooms but highlights the sensitive plant-a mimosa-with its humble leafy foliage. Human will is nothing in the face of the impartial power of nature and time. First published in Prometheus Unbound and Other Poems 1820 here it has been reproduced with a delicate binding to match its subject. <br /> <br /> "For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower;<br /> Radiance and odour are not its dower;<br /> It loves even like Love its deep heart is full<br /> It desires what it has not the Beautiful!"<br /> <br /> "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Robt. Riviere & Son unknown

Notes: Small quarto. 260 x 200 mm. <br><br>Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792 – 1822 was an English writer who is considered one of the major English Romantic poets. A radical in his poetry as well as in his political and social views Shelley did not achieve fame during his lifetime but recognition of his achievements in poetry grew steadily following his death and he became an important influence on subsequent generations of poets including Robert Browning Algernon Charles Swinburne Thomas Hardy and W. B. Yeats. American literary critic Harold Bloom describes him as "a superb craftsman a lyric poet without rival and surely one of the most advanced sceptical intellects ever to write a poem."<br>The Shelleys moved to Pisa in January 1820 ostensibly to consult a doctor who had been recommended to them. There they became friends with the Irish republican Margaret Mason Lady Margaret Mountcashell and her lover George William Tighe. Mrs Mason became the inspiration for Shelley's poem "The Sensitive Plant" and Shelley's discussions with Mason and Tighe influenced his political thought and his critical interest in the population theories of Thomas Malthus.<br><br> Size: Small quarto. Illustration: Near fine example in a beautiful binding. Illustrated with 18 tipped in colour plates. Pages: 128 pp. Category: Book Literature; William Heinemann / J.B. Lippincott Co., hardcover
