Spine sunned toward brown a ubiquitous problem with green morocco very slight rubbing to joints top inch of rear joint a little more significantly so front flyleaf with small closed tear at fore edge title page with small mended half-inch tear in the same place but a very desirable copy nonetheless the text clean and pleasing and the riotously embellished binding almost flaming with gold.<br/> <br/> With distinguished provenance this is a glittering exhibition binding that makes a memorable display with its fine and dense pointillé ground its exquisitely gauffered top edge and its especially refined floral and leafy ornamentation being particularly notable. A spiritual odyssey of lovers divided and seeking reunion "The Revolt of Islam" is Shelley's longest work despite its title the poem has little if anything to do with Islam though religion is generally addressed. The work was issued late in 1817 as "Laon and Cythna" but certain passages of that piece disturbed the publisher who demanded that they be changed or removed. Shelley reluctantly agreed and his alterations included the substitution of the present title. We have the Brooks edition with a new title page using the text of the first edition second issue with the fly title correctly bound as d1 and the preface ending on p. xxi. As Granniss indicates "the original quires and cancel leaves of the work fell into the hands of John Brooks who issued them in 1829 with a new title." Our volume comes from the illustrious collection of Cincinnati businessman arborist and philanthropist Cornelius J. Hauck 1893-1967 whose fortune was made in the family brewery; the auction of his library at Christie's in 2006 totaled more than $12.4 million this item was lot #593 selling for $3360.

1818163729London: for C. and J. Ollier 1818. Fear not the future weep not for the past First edition revised issue with new title and cancels and the 1818 date as usual. This is a very nice copy of Shelley's poem dedicated to Mary Shelley with the errata leaf at the rear. In 1817 the publishers C. and J. Ollier agreed to publish Shelley's long poem Laon and Cythna. Shelley's new father-in-law William Godwin recommended a master printer for the job Buchanan Millan who made minor alterations to the text without consulting the poet. Shelley wrote to the Olliers complaining about these liberties whereupon the Olliers read the work for the first time and realised what they had agreed to publish. In the original version the titular lovers were brother and sister. London was alive with gossip about Shelley living with both Mary Godwin and her half-sister Claire Clairmont and in contemporary usage such a ménage was termed incest St Clair p. 432. Shelley therefore made alterations removing any hint of incest and gave the book a new title The Revolt of Islam by which it is still known. The book is made up from original sheets of Laon and Cythna with 26 cancelled leaves and a new title leaf. A few copies were issued with the title misdated 1817; this is the second issue as usual with the correct date. Octavo 223 x 144 mm. Early 20th-century red crushed morocco spine with five raised bands lettered and decorated in gilt turn-ins richly gilt blue endpapers top edge gilt others trimmed. Binding a little rubbed a couple of corners lightly worn short closed tear to title page skilfully repaired a few small marginal stains to contents otherwise clean internally. A very good copy.
