London: Jonathan Cape with Chatto & Windus 1967. 8vo. original brick-red publisher's cloth backstrip lettered in gilt; upper edge black; in the original unclipped jacket with a photograph of white to the upper panel and facsimile letter to the lower; pictorial endpapers; pp. vii 8-352; faint pushing to spine tips and offsetting to endleaves else a near-fine copy in the very good dust jacket slightly rubbed at tips and sun bleached to spine. First edition. Warner was given access to White's papers shortly after his death in 1964. Her biography was regarded by the New York Times as """"a small masterpiece which may well be read long after the writings of its subject have been forgotten.""sold with Two autograph letters signed by Townsend addressed to a Mr John da Silva. The first dated 20th October 1964 is a letter in which she having been asked to write a biography of T. H. White reaches out to Mr da Silva a former school pupil of the great Arthurian writer. ""I should be extremely grateful to have your impressions of him at this stage in his career"" she writes. ""He wrote in his various books about all his activities - except teaching. he must have been a remarkable and stimulating teacher."" The reply from da Silva comes just over a month letter in the form of two typed sheets recounting his memories of being at school in the master's company. ""I remember him with great affection"" the letter begins before recounting many different experiences during the inter-war years between 1934-5. ""We were Tim's original 'tutees'. Because the group was so small lessons with him used to take place in his study a shady room overlooking the Orangery at Stowe with two big square stuffed chairs side by side facing the fireplace book shelves around the room and pipes and tobacco I seem to remember in considerable profusion on the tables. Tim was very like the self-portrait of Van Gogh wearing a hat."" He goes on: ""Tim was then I suppose in his late twenties and a fairy Bohemian figure even by Stowe standards which were not noticeably strict. He had an old open black Bentley and a red setter and among the boys enjoyed a reputation exciting faintly discreditable and much envied on the strength of 'Loved Helen' and 'They Winter Abroad' copies of which were eagerly sought after."" da Silva goes on to describe two incidences where White was involved in car accidents. In the first he drove through the front wall of a cottage; in the other da Silva was the one driving and after sharing several drinks in a nearby pub ""I inexpertly skidded on the cattle grid. the ensuing bump threw him White forward so he hit his head on the knob of the windscreen wiper cutting himself slightly. He made a terrible fuss about it."" Warner's response to these elucidations is also included. Dated in the early January of the following year she writes: ""I was greatly interested in your story of the cattle grid. It is typical of him. in major misfortunes he could be heroic - though not invariably but what authentic character is consistent"" An illuminating series of letters together with the biography of this important writer by an English novelist who herself was equally well regarded. hardcover

The text follows the original edition with these illustrations published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1825. As Marina Warner explains in the illuminating essay written for this edition "the translator and the selection aren't identified but some of the stories appear to be taken directly from Edgar Taylor's 1823 volumes and others from an anthology published in 1853 called 'Household Stories' . anonymously translated." Kay Neilsen 1886-1957 came to prominence at the end of a period of great illustrators including Rackham and Dulac and though his work shows traces of their influence there is a sharper more disturbing edge. He later worked for Walt Disney studios where he contributed to the great 'Fantasia' 1940. "There is no more beautiful book than Kay Neilsen's 'Hansel and Gretel' pale symbols melting into paler backgrounds; planes of action successive stages of one idea bordering on expressionism." from a 1926 review in 'The Outlook' Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

175853321758 Thomas More UTOPIA Socialism Politics Dystopian Marxism Warner Memoir<br />"how can anyone be silly enough to think himself better than other people because his clothes are made of finer woolen thread than theirs. After all those fine clothes were once worn by a sheep and they never turned it into anything better than a sheep." ― Thomas More Utopia <br />Thomas More was one of the most important Catholic philosophers of the late 15th-century. He is remembered for his work 'Utopia' a famous book depicting a fictional island society with its own social religious and political customs. 'Utopia' and More's other works were highly influential to Anabaptists communism and social Marxism. Many aspects of 'Utopia' describe life in a monastery yet still More seems to be criticizing European society – which he considered to have many problems. More a devout Catholic writes of controversial topics which those on the island of Utopia practiced such as divorce euthanasia married priests and female priests. These practices were widely opposed within the Catholic faith but More cites them as commonplace in his writing.<br />'Utopia' is even polarizing in terms of modern politics. It seems to have been influential to Anabaptists communism and social Marxism. Though 'the answer implied by "Utopia" was that political realities must be changed in order to free men." "More was claiming that community pressure could be made to correspond to and to endorse conscience and the way to achieve this was through institutional and legal regulation supervision and control…the environment of the monastery." Davis 57-58.<br />In the 18th-century Church of England clergyman Ferdinando Warner published a memoir of the life of Thomas More in which he supplemented the memoir with 'Utopia'.<br />Item number: #5332Price: $795<br />WARNER Ferdinando<br />Memoirs of the life of Sir Thomas More lord high chancellor of England in the reign of Henry VIII.
