1937001500New York: Dodd Mead & Company 1937. The Hill was first published in 1905. One of more than 50 novels written by its author it depicts the friendship between two boys who attend Harrow. Harrow School founded in 1572 is a highly prestigious boys boarding school in London still going strong today. 8vo size green cloth cover with navy blue titles on spine and navy blue titles and decorations on front cover. The cover appears to be an incomplete printing of the design that appeared on other books: Darker colored cloth books of the earlier 1900s dark blue or black had a illustration on the front cover of a hilly skyline with a tall building spire - which depicts the campus of Harrow School. This silhouette is made from the color of the clothbound book. The illustration on top of that is completed by two different colors on ink in green and white. In this book a later edition the cloth binding appears to be a shade of green represented by the color of the ink in the earlier version. You can see the very light embossing of the hillside and spire and you can see the void as the spire rises between the bands of navy blue ink that make up the design on front cover. These navy blue design elements are part of the sky background. Earlier editions would have used white ink to fill the voids between the navy blue ink and the embossed design of the hillside. It appears that there is a significant publishing error the the front cover design where an layer of white ink is missing. If one didn't know the design of earlier editions you might just take the cover for an abstract design. There is an embossed illustration on the spine of books on a shelf which also would have been filled in with green ink on the earlier edition and which is devoid of ink in this copy. The printing error has produced a unique cover. The book has 325 deckle edged pages with a unique toning or foxing that resembles a wood grain pattern please see our photos. This pattern appears throughout the book with varying degrees of darkness. Horace Vachell 1861 - 1955 was a prolific English author publishing novels 22 plays short stories essays and autobiographical works. Much of his writing features an idealized prosperous English way of life. Please see our photograph of the notation from a previous reader of this book - it is her recommendation.

Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. A massive coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. "When Story of O was first published in 1954 in Paris by Jean-Jacques Pauvert it narrowly escaped censorship by the Department of the Interior and eventually became the most widely translated French novel in the world. It describes in cool elegant language the experiences of a young woman as she willingly enters a dark maze of perverse sexual practices within a clandestine amoral society. Revelling in pure fantasy its theme is total submission through love to excesses of sadism and masochism and the bond of "ownership." Now Doris Kloster a photographer specializing in issues of women's sexuality and power has realized a long-standing dream. She has created a photographic representation of one of the most famous and controversial erotic novels ever published. The result is another sensation. The Illustrated Story of O presents over 50 superb images which mirror perfectly the intense eroticism of the novel. Shooting entirely in Paris and its environs Doris Kloster has succeeded in matching characters locations costumes and props to the original descriptions. And each magnificent color photograph is accompanied by a short extract from the novel. In addition there is a Preface from Doris Kloster herself and an Introduction from Jean-Jacques Pauvert the original publisher of the novel. The Illustrated Story of O presents a rich visual feast that will delight fans of Doris Kloster's work and appeal strongly to connoisseurs of the darker excesses of sexuality. It is destined to become a classic collector's edition." - Publisher. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 4to. Collectible. St. Martin's Press Hardcover

It last sold at auction in 1929 and the present is the only first edition on the market.<br /> <br /> "Begin my Muse and sing in Epick train The Petticoat; Nor shall thou sing in vain The Petticoat will sure reward thy pain!" So opens a satire composed under the pseudonym Mr. Gay used by several of those hacks in Edmund Curll's employ which traces how the amorous adventures of Thyrsis and Chloe were made possible by the latter's fashionable hooped skirt. Finding both humor and seriousness in women's fashion The Petticoat points out how some of the clothing designed to hinder women's movement could actually be adapted to their advantage -- in this case the pursuit and fulfillment of illicit sexual affairs. For just as Thyrsis is able to hide beneath his lover's skirt to conceal himself while pleasing her Chloe is able to share this information with her female coterie including the work's readers. Thus women desirous of hiding lovers of any gender might deploy this ingenious method allowing them to engage in affairs without traveling far from home. An acknowledgement of women's own sexual desire and agency.<br /> <br /> ESTC T43929. Unspeakable Curll 241-242. Not in the Register of Erotic Books. R. Burleigh [false imprint for E. Curll] unknown

Internally a clean copy with a long closed tear to pages 213-214 professionally repaired with no loss to text and brief examples of pencil marginalia to pages 237-38. A pleasing copy of a scarce erotic book which last appeared at auction over three decades ago and which ESTC lists at only 12 U.S. libraries. <br /> <br /> Drawn from a 17th century Spanish picaresque novel following the intrigues of the female rake Rufina Alonso de Castillo's La Garduna de Sevilla 1642 first appeared in English in 1665 as a romantic adventure translated by John Davies as La Picara or The Triumphs of Female Subtilty. By the time of this translation however Rufina's persona took a more overtly libertine turn as she was declared a "whore" even within the title i.e. "pole-cat". Published by unscrupulous bookseller and printer Edmund Curll the text has clear erotic rather than romantic implications. "A notorious figure among the publishers of the early eighteenth century for his boldness lack of scruple publication of work without authors' consent and taste for erotic and scandalous publications" Curll did not involve himself in the release of texts that aimed to educate men and women into socially dictated marital roles Baines and Rogers. Instead his version of the Rufina story revels in its heroine's sexual appetite and capitalizes on the popularity of the English demi-monde -- courtesans such as Kitty Fisher Lucy Cooper and Charlotte Hayes -- by making her a more exoticized iteration of the fantasy they presented to men and women alike. <br /> <br /> Positioned as it is outside the British Empire Rufina's narrative invites readers to engage at a slight distance with questions not only about her sexual agency or even the agency of courtesans but instead about the agency of women more broadly. As Kathleen Lubey has pointed out erotic works from this period positioned "decadent sexual description" within a much larger prose structure that "posed questions about social justice and elaborated on gender inequity"; indeed "pornographic prose fiction" such as The Spanish Pole-Cat "rethinks which people count as persons to what degree they can claim property in their own bodies and the correspondence of those bodies to social identity" What Pornography Knows. Capable of stimulating the senses of all readers physically and intellectually Rufina the female libertinism and the sex trade she invokes encourage excitement over what can happen when limitations are stripped away from certain portions of the population that don't in reality have the ability to move with such freedom.<br /> <br /> ESTC T89213.

1908508688Deighton Bell and Co 1908. First Edition. Hardcover. GOOD. First Edition Thus Lowe's new critical Greek text with english translation on diglot facing pages. 12mo red cloth gilt spine lettering. xi 1 195pp. B/W frontispiece portrait of the statue of Pan and Daphnis at the Mueso delie Terme in Rome. Tips a bit worn spine a bit toned sound otherwise. Annotated with learned and comments in a fine contemporary hand with extensive notes to the rear blanks. Among other reflections the annotator remarks on p. 160 'The excision of over-erotic passages has led here and there to solecism e.g. the change of 'hon' to 'heyn' in IV11 calls for the omission of 'kai' before 'ouden'.' We suspect the owner's name 'R. A. Clarke' appears to be in another name leaving this first reader unfortunatlely anonymous noting only 'From Class Rev. August 1910 after the final notes. 'Despite its perennial popularity and the admiration of no less an authority than Goethe Daphnis and Chloe was largely ignored by classical scholars being considered trivial and/or pornographic until the 1960s when the ancient novel began to be viewed as a worthwhile object of study.'

18005629London: S. W. Fores 1800. First edition. Illustrated hand-colored broadside measuring 270 x 400mm and printed to verso only. Faint offsetting to recto and faint traces of mounting to corners. In all a Fine example of this visual satire commenting on the phenomenon of younger men seeking marriage with elderly widows for their own financial gain -- and the cultural anxiety surrounding the marital sexuality of such brides. Unrecorded in ESTC and OCLC we have located two examples of the present work at the British Museum and Yale. <br /> <br /> The present broadside draws together a wide matrix of debates and social anxieties surrounding the economic and sexual status of widows and the financial motivations for marriage among second sons and men of the middle class. Though women were more frequently forced into experiencing marriage as a form of 'honorable prostitution' in which their physical desirability served as their key for accessing wealth and stability under coverture it was increasingly acknowledged that large swaths of young men also suffered under this system. And while widows could escape the system -- shifting from the disempowered femme covert to the more legally independent femme sole on their husbands' deaths -- there was both a social fantasy of reinserting them into the marriage market as a means for regaining control over their money and bodies as well as a social anxiety about their ability to corrupt through the range of knowledge and authority they gained through previous marital experience. Here a young man walks his aging crone down the aisle. Ornately clad and expressing her anticipation for "the comforts of matrimony" she is ridiculed by the ministers at the pulpit who posit that if "matrimony was first ordained.for a remedy against fornication" then "the remedy will be worse than the disease" in this instance. Untroubled the young groom focuses on the land deeds bank notes and jewelry accounts which stuff his pockets -- assets which will legally become his after the ceremony and which serve as his marital comforts. Meanwhile two young women observe from the sidelines one of them planning her future with the groom after his aging bride's eventual demise. "Those jewels will look better on me than on the last owner" she notes as her companion whispers hopefully "you'll let me take a morning ride with you sometimes."<br /> <br /> A visual commentary on the financial and social issues surrounding marriage under coverture which Daniel Defoe would deride as "matrimonial whoredom."<br /> <br /> <br /> British Museum 1935.0522.8.109.
