Douglas William Jerrold (1803-1857) was an English dramatist and writer who, from the 1830s to 1850s, was absolutely at the centre of literary London. A friend of Dickens and Thackeray, both pall-bearers at his funeral. Jerrold was an editor, playwright, journalist, novelist and public wit and among the most popular writers in Britain. It was 'Mrs Caudle's Curtain Lectures' that really captured the public's imagination. Serialized in Punch, they were lively studies of female domination in Victorian society. The illustrations here by Charles Kenne (1823-1891), who began to draw for Punch in 1852, are considered a masterpiece in book illustration. Ray.

In 8° (cm 9,6 x 16,8), legatura piena pelle coeva con titoli e fregi in oro al dorso, pp 491, deliziosa antiporta incisa in rame raffigurante allegoria del Matrimonio: due cuoricini posano su sontuoso letto a baldacchino che amorini paffuti e burloni stanno approntando, trafiggendosi vicendevolmente con frecce, impugnando il sonaglio simbolo della Follia; sul pavimento: una culla, un ramificato paio di corna, un pitale, libri gettati in un canto, forse i registri nuziali, un sorcio che schizza via per la stanza, simboli di una quotidianità disincantata che attende ironicamente al varco gli ignari protagonisti, i cui ritratti vegliano sornionamente appesi alle pareti della stanza da letto. Esemplare in buone condizioni, uniformi bruniture e rade macchie di ruggine. Il frontespizio reca la dicitura: "Tome second": l'opera è tuttavia completa in se stessa, il "Tome premier" contenendo altro poema eroicomico ("La Thériacade", ) dello stesso A. (1711-1780), identificato dal Barbier (Tome IV, Supplément, col. 709). Satira del matrimonio in queste rocambolesche e bislacche "nozze di Diabotano", ma non solo, anche dei "ridicules" della società del tempo: il gusto sfrenato per il lusso tipicamente femminile, rovina dei patrimoni maschili; la dipendenza del tabacco, di cui non si più più fare a meno; la sifilide che imperversa a causa della dissolutezza, invano contrastata dai rimedi di Fracastoro; la voga astrologica, esoterica e alchemica, espressa nella grottesca ammirazione e cieca fede del protagonista per Paracelso, Becher, Artephius Esemplari censiti in CCFr.

One corner is bumped. Light shelfwear. ; Signed by author: "To Lillian Feder-- who helped me find the path that would lead to this book and guided my first steps along the way. With warm regards, Lillian" ; Contributions to the Study of World Literature; 0.95 x 9.56 x 6.38 Inches; 264 pages; Corti focuses on the meaning and importance of the act of child murder in literary treatments of the ancient myth. She insists on the connection between the structure of tragedy and the psychology of abuse, arguing that the tragedy of Medea dramatizes the violent hostility toward children, which is always potentially present in patriarchal culture despite the conspicuous emphasis on positive descriptions of parental love in officially sanctioned discourse. ; Signed by Author
