The Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley with The Prose Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley in 8 vols
London: Reeves and Turner 1880. First Thus. First edition edited by H. Buxton Forman. Together eight octavo volumes 214 x 136 mm. Uniformly bound by Bayntun Rivière of Bath stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in in mid twentieth-century dark brown crushed levant morocco. Covers with gilt triple fillet border spines decoratively ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments with five raised bands board edges with gilt-dotted rule gilt inner dentelles marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Frontispieces and plates. A spectacular set. Volume I of The Poetical Works is set with a fine oval portrait miniature 81 x 62 mm of Shelley surrounded by an inner oval band of onlaid russet morocco within single gilt fillets and an outer decorative intertwining gilt border which is set with sixteen semi-precious stones. A superb example. From the library of William A. Foyle with his bookplate on front pastedown.<br/><br/>"It would be difficult indeed to over-estimate the gains which have accrued to the lovers of Shelley from the strenuous labours of Mr. Harry Buxton Forman C.B. He too has enlarged the body of Shelley's poetry Mr. Forman's most notable addition is the second part of The Daemon of the World which he printed privately in 1876 and included in his Library Edition of the Poetical Works published in the same year.but important as his editions undoubtedly are it may safely be affirmed that his services in this direction constitute the least part of what we owe him. He has vindicated the authenticity of the text in many places while in many others he has succeeded with the aid of manuscripts in restoring it. His untiring industry in research his wide bibliographical knowledge and experience above all his accuracy as invariable as it is minute have combined to make him in the words of Professor Dowden ‘our chief living authority on all that relates to Shelley's writings.' His name stands securely linked for all time to Shelley's by a long series of notable words including three successive editions 1876 1882 1892 of the Poems an edition of the Prose Remains as well as many minor publications—a Bibliography The Shelley Library 1886 and several Facsimile Reprints of the early issues edited for the Shelley Society" Oxford Edition of The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley.<br/><br/>Granniss 89.

This volume constitutes the first collected edition of Keats and only the second collected works of Coleridge & Shelley although only volume 1 issued in 5 parts of the 1826 edition of Shelley's works was issued and the edition was not completed and contains works published here for the first time from all three poets. Each poets work is preceded by a short life of the author. The memoir of Keats is by Leigh Hunt. Although Keats' literary executor Charles Armitage Brown disliked Hunt's portrayal of his friend his own account of Keats life was not ready in time for this edition and would not see publication for another 108 years in 1937. He did however send some unpublished poems in his possession for inclusion in the volume. The memoir of Shelley was written by Mary Shelley who also helped the publication of this edition by allowing the publisher access to his papers. Although this volume was published by the Galignanis in Paris avoiding the British copyright and meaning no royalties would be due they did have the co-operation of family members and literary friends of all three poets when assembling this impressive volume.;. 1268602.

Shelley Percy Bysshe
QUEEN MAB
1822. in original boards London: Printed and Published by R. Carlile 1822. Original drab paper-covered boards. First Published Edition second issue -- which is to say the sheets of William Clark's 1821 pirated edition with the 1822 cancel title leaf of radical publisher Richard Carlile. "Queen Mab a Philosophical Poem in Nine Cantos with Seventeen Notes" -- Shelley's first major poetic work -- was first privately-printed in 1813. Since it was a radical and revolutionary vision of a utopian world from an atheistic viewpoint Shelley never intended it to go beyond his friends. But in 1821 a stash of the undistributed sheets was discovered by London bookseller William Clark and the result was an 1821 pirated edition with the help of the infamous book pirate Thomas Moses whose monogram also appears here on the final page of text. Shelley tried to suppress this Clark/Moses edition but was unsuccessful because the courts ruled that "books liable to conviction for blasphemy or sedition are not entitled to legal protection." Clark spent four months in prison courtesy of the Society for the Prevention of Vice; Clark's sheets ultimately fell into the hands of his former employer Richard Carlile who issued this edition with his own title leaf in 1822 -- Shelley having just drowned off the coast of Italy in July 1822. This copy includes at the rear Shelley's dedicatory poem "To Harriet which had appeared in his 1813 copies but which Shelley had ever since tried to suppress -- and for good reason. In 1811 19-year-old Shelley had eloped with 16-year-old Harriet Westbrook under her threat that she would otherwise take her own life; in July 1814 -- after the 1813 QUEEN MAB was printed with its dedication -- Shelley fled pregnant Harriet for the Continent with Mary Godwin and after Harriet did in fact take her own life married Mary at the end of 1816. In 1818 Mary's FRANKENSTEIN was published. This copy is still remarkably in the original drab paper-covered boards albeit without spine label; the leaves are uncut and the original endpapers are intact. There is minor edge-wear and one small patch of the spine has chipped away but this is certainly near-fine condition. Housed in a cloth clamshell case with leather label. Incidentally in the legendary eight-day Jerome Kern sale of January 1929 the highest price achieved today just over $1 million was by a copy of QUEEN MAB annotated by Shelley -- thanks to Lee Biondi for this tidbit. unknown books
