‎Shelley, Percy Bysshe‎

‎The Cenci. A Tragedy in Five Acts‎

‎Livorno Italy: C. and J. Ollier 1819. First Edition. Very Good. First edition first printing one of 250 copies without initial blank. xiv 104 pp. Bound in the scarce original blue boards. Housed in a custom crimson red solander polished morocco case ruled in blind and lettered in gilt with matching chemise dust wrapper. Very Good with expertly rebacked spine soiling and light wear to boards and strengthened inner and rear hinges. Former owner's name in pencil at front pastedown light offsetting from chemise wrapper at endhseets title page has likely been washed ownership notations at verso dedication page and rear endpaper and light foxing to contents. A bit of light rubbing and soiling to case and chemise otherwise quite presentable. <p>Penned while living in Rome at Villa Valsovano and based on a true story of a sixteenth-century Roman noble family Shelley recounts the violence accrued by Count Francesco Cenci in this controversial drama. Themes of incest tyranny patricide and near-blasphemous depictions of the Church made it too contentious to be staged publicly during Shelley's career. The play was staged privately by the Shelley Society on May 7 1886 at the Grand Theatre in Islington London to bypass censorship. It had had been denied a license for public performance by the sitting Lord Chamberlain with the first public performance occurring just over a century after publication in 1922.<p>It later inspired influenced playwrights like Antonin Artaud who used it as a basis for his Theater of Cruelty in the 1930's.The Cenci is considered one of Shelley's masterpieces notable for its evocative language and dramatic force and the only work of his to reach a second edition during his tragically shortened lifetime; rather uncommon in the original boards.

‎SHELLEY, Percy Bysshe‎

‎The Cenci. A Tragedy. In Five Acts‎

‎London: C and J Ollier 1821. Second edition. pp. xvii but xv 104. Lacking half title. The original book has been disbound and the pages cut very neatly and expertly and then carefully pasted at the hinge edge on a leaf of plain white paper so that the leaves of text are interleaved with the plain leaves. This is one way in which prompt books were made allowing for notes and directions to be written on the plain leaves without disturbing the text. The leaves of text are cut to measure 151x95mm and the plain paper is 235x190mm. Bound in contemporary tan half calf marbled paper covered boards. Rebacked with spine lettered in gilt. The centre of the upper and lower covers has a circular morocco label stamped in gilt with a coat of arms around which in a circular band is stamped in gilt in gothic lettering Johannes Ludovicus Gautier. Apart from some scuffing to the boards and bumping to the corners the binding is in very good condition. Internally it is in fine condition with a little marking to the blank pages. On the verso of the front free end paper is inscribed in Gautier's hand "8vo. 1819. Italy Printed. 8vo. 1821. 2 Edition London. Collated. 1823." This unique and somewhat eccentric book contains an interesting story and set of connections. The name on the label on the covers is Johannes Ludovicus Gautier. Almost nothing is known about him but we do know that he bought books from the collection of the actor John Philip Kemble. The collection included numerous prompt books belonging to Kemble including Shakespeare's King John and Julius Caesar which are held at the Folger and William Wycherley's The Plain Dealer at the Huntington. John Kemble retired from the stage in 1817 and mainly lived abroad until his death in Lausanne in 1823. It seems that most of his books were sold in Switzerland in 1821. Those bought by Gautier are all bound in the same way as this copy although some of them have Kemble's arms and name on the upper cover in the same style as those of Gautier's. It seems that Gautier had all the books he acquired from Kemble bound in this way. Although there is no evidence on the book itself that Kemble owned this prompt book of The Cenci the connections and associations all point to his having done so. Shelley wrote The Cenci in 1819 intending that the part of Beatrice be played by Elizabeth O'Neill. Shelley had seen her perform at Covent Garden Theatre and although he was not as Mary Shelley noted particularly keen on the theatre he was so struck by O'Neill that he composed his first play for her. In the event she retired from the stage in 1819 when she married a wealthy Irish MP. John Kemble was the leading male actor at Covent Garden until his retirement and a powerful figure in the London theatre. He was visiting Dublin in 1814 and one evening at the theatre saw Elizabeth perform. He was so impressed that he brought her to London that year where she made her debut as Juliet to huge acclaim. Given the connection between Kemble and O'Neill and Shelley's fascination with Elizabeth it seems likely that Kemble and Shelley would have met in the years before Shelley wrote The Cenci. After the play was published in Italy in an edition of 250 copies Shelley asked a friend to approach the manager of Covent Garden Theatre Kemble and O'Neill's theatre to see if it could be staged there. The manager Thomas Harris declared The Cenci "so objectionable" that it could not be put on. Despite this a second edition of the work was published in 1821. It is quite possible that John Kemble retained his links with Covent Garden theatre and that he acquired this copy through his connections there. The copy has clearly been prepared for use as a prompt book. The fact that the 1821 edition has been prepared in this way suggests that there were still plans to try and stage The Cenci. Perhaps Kemble harboured thoughts of putting on his own production or perhaps he was given this by a theatre colleague who had made it for his or her own use in some future production. It is a fascinating and tantalising object. London: C and J Ollier 1821 hardcover‎

Second edition but the first to appear in England; the book was first printed in Livorno Italy in 1819 in an edition of 250 copies. xvii 103 pp. Printed by C.H. Reynall. 1 vols. 8vo. Bound in full blue morocco spine gilt t.e.g. others uncut by the Rose Bindery Boston. Fine copy. Small booklabel. Second edition but the first to appear in England; the book was first printed in Livorno Italy in 1819 in an edition of 250 copies. xvii 103 pp. Printed by C.H. Reynall. 1 vols. 8vo. One of Shelley's most important works prompted by learning the lurid story of Beatrice Cenci and Guido's portrait of her. He began the play in May 1819 in Rome and finished it in September; he had stage production in mind from the start and he asked Thomas Love Peacock to arrange for it to appear at Covent Garden. As a play by an atheist however and dealing with incest it stood no chance with the censor. The Cenci was never performed in Shelley's lifetime.
