Gary Schmidgall's is a true post-Stonewall performance the first book to assert frankly that Wilde's sexual orientation is the key to his literary accomplishments and his enduring appeal. The Stranger Wilde sidesteps standard chronological biography to provide a brilliant portrait drawn from Wilde's own writings and the observations of his contemporaries and later critics set against the backdrop of Victorian convention which was to undo him in the end. Here is Wilde in all his many guises: as flamboyant Oxford undergraduate as aesthete in America as son and brother as husband and father as lover and seducer of young men. Here is the celebrated author of The Importance of Being Earnest and The Picture of Dorian Gray and the outrageous figure who went deliberately defiantly to ruin and imprisonment. Even confirmed Wilde connoisseurs will find this book full of surprises. And for those who know him only as a writer of scathing wit and scandalous appeal this dazzling biography will introduce a complex paradoxical artist of genius whose legend pales beside the provocative and fascinating truth." ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Dutton, 1994 hardcover

1977BOOKS000032250 pages with frontispiece and 13 other illustrations one foldout bibliography and index. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/2" bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Spain in the West Volume XII. First edition.<br /><br />Janet Fireman's work is a scholarly and well-written study that brings in-to focus the origin activities and personnel of an elite military unit heretofore given only peripheral treatment. The Spanish Royal Corps of Engineers founded in 1711 as one of the first manifestations of Bourbon reform consisted exclusively of highly trained officers. The requirements for entry into the Corps were stringent-all engineers had to have previous military training and status. Once accepted they entered a rigid system of rank and class overseen by the engineer general. Their duties included the formation of maps and plans for ports and towns; drawings of fortifications barracks and other royal installations; and designs for roads bridges and hydraulic projects. They also served as teachers and administrators of military academies. The organization of the small Corps-its numbers never exceeded 200 officers-was modified from time to time but its objectives remained essentially the same throughout the later colonial period.<br /><br />Dr. Fireman summarizes the organization of the engineers in terms of Spanish military needs during the Bourbon period and then proceeds wíth a description of their subsequent contributions in the western Borderlands. Through a series of biographical sketches men who have received mere mention in previous works come alive as they face the difficult circumstances of defending and extending New Spain's northern frontier. Fireman begins with the career of Francisco Alvarez Barreiro in 1718 and details his association with Pedro de Rivera's 8000 mile trek through Texas and New Mexico from 1724 to 1728. She then moves to later events especially the expedition of Juan de Villalba y Angula in 1864 and the contributions of Nicolas de Lafora to the Rubí inspection-tour of 1766. The policies of Visitador General José de Gálvez are also given careful consideration.<br /><br />Perhaps most interesting to California readers will be the chapter on Upper California featuring that no longer forgotten founder Miguel Costansó engineer with the Sacred Expedition of 1769 and diarist of the Portolá march to San Francisco Bay in October of the same year. Costansó's map of the Pacific Coast dated October 30 1770 is the first to include California's great natural harbor to the north. After spending fourteen months in the Monterey area drawing maps and designing installations Costansó returned to Mexico City to continue his career with the Corps. He participated in plans for the Anza route from Tubac to Monterey and kept abreast of California affairs until his death in 1814. Also featured in the California story is Alberto de Córdoba resident expert on fortification and town planning from San Diego to San Francisco during the 1790's.<br /><br />The careers of Manuel Agustín Mascaró Gerónimo de la Rocha Juan Pagazaurtundúa and other engineers in adjacent Borderlands areas are covered in a chapter on the Commandancy General. Fireman closes with an overall assessment of the accomplishínents of the Corps of Engineers as it helped "to create maintain enhance and defend Spain's western Borderlands."<br /><br />The primary documentary materials for this work come for the most part from the major archives of Spain and Mexico. The research carried on over a period of several years is exceptionally thorough. Included are eight appendices-precise reports by the engineers which illustrate the detailed nature of the Corps' work. These are expertly translated by the author. The book attractively designed and printed by the Arthur H. Clark Company includes fourteen original maps.<br /><br />Overall Dr. Fireman's competent use of Spanish sources and her flair for good writing combine to make this book a stimulating experience for the reader of Borderlands history.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br /><br />Page ends soiled points lightly rubbed. A better than very good copy issued without jacket. Arthur H Clark Co hardcover
