Catalogue of the Extraordinary Library … Consisting Entirely of Works by British and American Poetesses & Female Dramatic Writers

186732820633Original printed wrappers bound in modern full red buckram. Very good.FIRST EDITION. This is the catalogue of the pioneering Stainforth library of women's literature the first major auction devoted to the literary works of women writing in English from the mid-16th century to the Victorian era.Francis John Stainforth 1797-1866 an Anglican clergyman spent decades assembling the largest private library of Anglophone women's writing built in the mid-nineteenth century. Sotheby Wilkinson & Hodge conducted the sale over six days in 1867. The catalogue lists 7122 titles in over 8000 volumes written and edited by more than 2800 authors almost all women."When we think of 19th-century private libraries in Britain we usually envision a gentleman's library like the one Jane Austen's brother Edward kept at Godmersham Park. Shelved in an English countryside estate the library contained works mostly in English and Romance languages written by men in the genres of biography history geography theology literature and travel writings. Stainforth's library rejects this patriarchal model and makes a political claim that women—struggling working mothers women of color disabled authors translators children aged writers Jews incarcerated poets printers schoolteachers women who co-author with their husbands survivors of assault hymnists those who publish only a single poem and more—have a valued place in book history and on the shelf. He collected works by women writers not only from Britain but from America Australia Canada and Asia who published between 1546 and 1866. His project according to his catalog was to collect a copy of every edition of every title by women poets dramatists and nonfiction writers before his death in 1866" The Stainforth Library of Women's Writing website.References:H.
