Rostand, Edmond.
L'AIGLON, A Play in Six Acts. Translated by Louis N. Parker.
pp. (i), 262. +Plus plates with Napoleonic text decorations. 8vo. 211mm. A gorgeous copy. Original blue cloth binding highly decorated in gilt with Napoleonic symbols. L'Aiglon is a play in six acts by Edmond Rostand based on the life Napoleon II, who was the son of emperor Napoleon I and his second wife, Empress Marie Louise. The title of the play comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for ' eaglet' (a young eagle). The title role was created by Sarah Bernhardt in the play's premiere on 15 March 1900 at the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt. In October of the same year, the play (in an English translation by Louis N. Parker) premiered at New York's Knickerbocker Theatre, with Maude Adams in the title role, as presented here. Its first performance in London was at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1901, with Bernhardt again playing the leading role. Rostand had Written L'Aiglon specifically for Bernhardt, and it became one of her signature roles. First U.S. Edition. Hardbound. Very Good. NW58

Rothwell, Kenneth S.
POLITICS AND PERSUASION IN ARISTOPHANES' ECCLESIAZUSAE
Former classics scholar's name on inner cover (John H. Betts). ; Mnemosyne, Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 0.5 x 9.5 x 6.4 Inches; 118 pages; This study shows that the Ecclesiazusae is an affirmation of the importance of persuasion in the fourth-century democracy. ; Praxagora, the attractive and articulate female protagonist, virtually personifies peitho, the realm of both political persuasion and erotic seduction. The ability of peitho to address both public and private motivations makes it the perfect instrument to resolve the tension in the fourth century between selfishness and civic participation. This is, after all, the central issue in the later episodes of the play.

GEZAMELTE SHRIFTEN [SHRIFTN] [SIX VOLUME COMPLETE SET]
Publishers cloth. 8vo. 288; 286; 286; 288; 318; 285 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Yiddish. Yonah Rozenfelds Collected Writings in six volumes: 1. Tsvishen tog un nakht 2. In shotens fun toyt. - 3. Froyen - 4. Nohente un vayte - 5. Ikh 6. Oyf di grenetsen. Yona Rozenfeld (18801944) , Yiddish prose writer. Born in Tshartorisk (mod. Staryi Chartoriisk) , Ukraine, Yona Rozenfeld received a traditional Jewish education that was interrupted when his parents both died of cholera in 1893. Shortly thereafter, under arrangements made by his older brother, 13-year-old Yona began an apprenticeship with a turner in Odessaan experience vividly depicted in his autobiographical novel Eyner aleyn (All Alone; 1940) . Rozenfeld showed his early writings to Y. L. Peretz when the latter visited Odessa in 1902. As a result, Rozenfelds first (autobiographical) story, Dos lernyingl (The Apprentice) , was published in Der fraynd in 1904. At the age of 23, Rozenfeld left his job as a turner and devoted himself to writing. He published his first collection of stories, the two-volume Shriftn (Writings; 19091912) , which included his most famous story, Konkurentn (Competitors) . He immigrated to New York in 1921, and began writing plays. His six-volume Gezamlte shriftn (Collected Writings; 1924) was published in New York and Geklibene verk (Selected Works; 1929) in Vilna. In the mid-1930s, he had a major conflict with Abraham Cahan, editor in chief of Der forverts, after which the newspaper ceased publishing Rozenfelds work. Rozenfeld began writing his autobiographical novel Eyner aleyn in 1937. Upon publication, it received excellent reviews in the Yiddish press. His longest earlier works were fictive and autobiographical diaries. In Fun mayn togbukh (From My Diary; 1924) , Rozenfeld depicted his return to Kovel from Kiev in 1919 during the Russian civil war. He regarded this text and Er un zey, a togbukh fun a gevezenem shrayber (He and They, a Diary of a Former Writer; 1927) as his best works. Together with the autobiographical texts entitled Ikh (I [the first-person pronoun]) in the fifth volume of Rozenfelds Gezamlte shriftn, these pieces indicate the importance of autobiographical writings in the authors work. During a conversation with Yohanan Twersky in 1937, Rozenfeld formulated his literary credo: Without having a big selection of types, I must be content with the situations in which I place my characters. And as a result, each type ceases to be a type. For in reality, the typical kind does not exist! Rozenfelds autobiographical method seeks to explore the potential for deviant behaviour when individuals are removed from their normal social environments and placed in extreme situations. Rozenfeld saw himself as a Yiddish Gorky whose short stories and autobiographical fiction chronicled Jewish working-class life in Odessa and the Lower East Side tenements. Except for a few translations of his short stories, most of his work remains a hidden treasure of modern Yiddish literature. Nevertheless, Rozenfeld belongs among the most original Yiddish prose writers of his generation. (YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe; Rozenfeld, Yona) Subjects: Yiddish fiction. Autobiography. Light wear to cloth, endpapers lightly aged, otherwise, fresh and clean. Very good condition. (YID-16-9)
