Complaints. Containing sundrie small poemes of the worlds vanitie. VVhereof the next page maketh mention. By Ed. Sp.
London:: Imprinted by Thomas Orwin for VVilliam Ponsonbie dwelling in Paules Churchyard at the signe of the Bishops head 1591. FIRST EDITION. . Quarto: . 18.5 x 14 cm. 184 p. Collation: A-Z4 lacking final blank Z4 Bound in fine early 20th c. green morocco with gilt turn-ins and the words “Complaints – Edmund Spenser – 1591†tooled in gold on the front board. The same neatly tooled on the spine. A nice copy never washed or pressed with wide outer margins. The edge of the title is a little frayed far from the woodcut there are light damp-stains in signatures D and S and a very faint one in the final signature. A few other trivial stains. It is highly unusual to find Spenser quartos in such condition the majority of the surviving copies having been washed and trimmed. Fortunately the binder of this copy resisted that temptation. The general title has a fine woodcut border with figures of David and Moses. There are separate title pages using the same woodcut border for “The Teares of the Muses†“Prosopopoia. Or Mother Hubberds Tale†and “Mviopotmos. Or The Fate of the Butterflieâ€. There are also a few attractive woodcut head-pieces and initials. The contents are as follows: 1. The Ruines of Time. 2. The Teares of the Muses. 3. Virgils Gnat. 4. Prosopopoia or Mother Hubberds Tale. 5. The Ruines of Rome: by Bellay. 6. Muiopotmos or The Tale of the Butterflie. 7. Visions of the Worlds vanitie. 8. Bellayes visions. 9. Petrarches visions. “Of the nine poems in the volume four are sonnet sequences while the others are in rhyme royal ottava rima sixaines or couplets. Each appears with a separate title page: five are dedicated to prominent courtiers or patrons and four are printed with no dedication. The first ‘The Ruines of Time’ is a lament on the destruction of the Roman city of Verulamium followed by an elegy on the deaths of Robert Dudley the earl of Leicester and Sir Philip Sidney. It is followed by ‘The Teares of the Muses’ a series of nine laments that deplore the corruption of learning and poetry. ‘Virgil’s Gnat’ the tale of a shepherd’s rescue by a humble gnat is an elaborate mock-heroic complaint translated from the pseudo-Virgilian ‘Culex.’ Next ‘Prosopoia or Mother Hubberds Tale’ takes the form of an allegorical beast-fable; its satire generally assumed to have been directed against Lord Burleigh was probably the reason that ‘Complaints’ was recalled shortly after its publication and that the poem was subsequently omitted from the 1611 folio of Spenser’s works see the following item. The volume continues with ‘The Ruines of Rome’ a translation of Joachim Du Bellay’s lament on the corruption of the modern city and ‘Muiopotmos’ a mock-heroic fable of the entrapment of a butterfly by a spider. The three sonnet sequences two of which are translations conclude the volume: ‘Visions of the Worlds Vanitite’ ‘The Visions of Bellay’ and ‘The Visions of Petrarch.’ For a thorough analysis see Katharine A. Craik Spenser's "Complaints" and the New Poet in Huntington Library Quarterly Vol. 64 No. 1/2 2001 pp. 63-79.

"The first modern English poet to achieve major stature Spenser demonstrated with his fluency in many meters and stanzaic forms that English was at least the equal to any other language as a vehicle of great poetry. While his poetry particularly The Faerie Queene looks backward as the culmination of the allegorical verse tradition of the Pearl Poet Langland and Chaucer he has influenced with his fertile imagination and especially his sensuous imagery and melodic language nearly every important English poet who followed him."

The book was also published by John Brindley.<br/><br/>John BRINDLEY before 1705-1758. Primarily a bookseller also a publisher. Reproduction of his trade card in Heal Collection Heal17.17 advertises "John Brindley Bookseller and Stationer at the King's Arms in New Bond Street. Bookbinder to Her Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales: Sells books in all languages variety of novels plays &c. Also all sorts of stationary wares stampt paper bonds cards shop & pocket books &c. Wholesale and retail. Likewise neatly binds books in all sorts of binding. Money for any library or parcel of books." British Museum.<br/><br/>"Most of our knowledge of John Brindley comes from The Oldest London Bookshop by George Smith and Frank Benger published in 1928. Brindley began as a bookbinder and although in 1728 he established the bookselling business in New Bond Street which was to gain further renown under the successive managements of Robson Boone and Ellis bookbinding remained one of the firm's activities until after his death. He held the appointment of bookbinder to Queen Caroline and to Frederick Prince of Wales and a number of presentation bindings to them on books published by Brindley are in King George III's library at the British Library. Comparison of these with other presentation bindings at Windsor with Brindley books from the library of Mr. George Smith sold at Sotheby's on 22nd July 1959 and with sets of the duodecimo classics published by Brindley between 1744 and 1754 enables us to identify many of the tools used in his shop and some of this specialities. The most striking of these was a partiality to edge decoration and to gaily marbled and gilt edges on sets of the classics. Brindley also bound for the Harleian Library. There is only one reference to him in Humfrey Wanley's Diary when he applied - apparently unsuccessfully - on 3 February 1719/20 to Wanley for some work saying that 'his Lordship lately gave him a Book to Bind'. But after Wanley's death he was apparently more successful and four bills of his survive for books supplied and books bound during the years 1733-8 among the Portland papers on deposit in the British Library". Nixon. Five Centuries of English Bookbinding. London 1978.<br/><br/>This is the first edition since 1609 to publish The Faerie Queene as a separate work. <br/>It is a new collation of the first two editions with a new biographical sketch written by the editor Thomas Birch. Birch 1705-1766 was a compiler of histories a biographer and formidable antiquarian. A member of the Society of Antiquaries and fellow of the Royal Society he is known primarily for The Works of the Honourable Robert Boyle 1744 Memoirs of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth 1754 Lives and Characters of Illustrious Persons 1747-52 and The History of the Royal Society of London 1756-7. <br/><br/>"Thomas Birch describes his intention as "the collecting of all the Facts relating to him Spenser dispers'd in different Books and the examining digesting and supplying them by his own Works not hitherto sufficiently made use of for that Purpose" Life vol 1 p. ii. He arranges the available material into a more shapely narrative than most emphasizing Spenser's struggles for recognition and patronage more than his literary accomplishments. Birch believes that the concluding six books of the Faerie Queene were written and then lost" English Poetry 1579-1830: Spencer and the Tradition.<br/><br/>"The Edition of the Fairy Queen now offer'd to the Public it is hop'd will be found to be a just Representation of the genuine Text not hitherto given in any single Edition but form'd from an exact Collation of the two original ones of the Author compar'd in the three last Books with the first Folio printed at London in 1609 which has furnish'd Corrections of some Mistakes in the 4to of 1596. Nothing therefore now remains for the Honour of our Poet and the Satisfaction of the Public but that the Learned and Ingenious unite their Labours towards such a Commentary upon his admirable Poem as Mr. JORTIN has oblig'd the World with a Specimen of his Remarks printed in 1734" from Birch's Life of Spenser herein.<br/><br/>The superb double-page illustrations are by William Kent 1685-1748 an eminent English architect landscape architect painter and furniture designer of the early 18th century. He is important as an illustrator of the poem because he was the first designer to respond imaginatively to the possibilities of Spenser's landscape and as a result had a major influence on later eighteenth-century taste. Spenser's reputation as an English gothic poet owes much to Kent's influence but Kent was a sophisticated enough artist and reader of the poem to respond also to the Italianate elements in Spenser's work which strongly corresponded with his own interests. Kent introduced the Palladian style of architecture into England with the villa at Chiswick House and also originated the 'natural' style of gardening known as the English landscape garden at Chiswick Stowe House in Buckinghamshire and Rousham House in Oxfordshire. He complemented his houses and gardens with stately furniture for major buildings including Hampton Court Palace Chiswick House Devonshire House and Rousham. His book designs show the results of his extensive travels decorative sense and the influence of picturesque landscape design which reached its height in the mid-eighteenth century.<br/><br/>The Faerie Queene is an English epic poem by Edmund Spenser. Books I-III were first published in 1590 then republished in 1596 together with books IV-VI. The Faerie Queene is notable for its form: it is one of the longest poems in the English language; it is also the work in which Spenser invented the verse form known as the Spenserian stanza.On a literal level the poem follows several knights as a means to examine different virtues and though the text is primarily an allegorical work it can be read on several levels of allegory including as praise or later criticism of Queen Elizabeth I. In Spenser's "Letter of the Authors" he states that the entire epic poem is "cloudily enwrapped in Allegorical devices" and that the aim of publishing The Faerie Queene was to "fashion a gentleman or noble person in virtuous and gentle discipline".<br/><br/>Edmund Spenser 1552-1599 presented the first three books of The Faerie Queene to Elizabeth I in 1589 probably sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh. The poem was a clear effort to gain court favour and as a reward Elizabeth granted Spenser a pension for life amounting to £50 a year though there is no further evidence that Elizabeth I ever read any of the poem. This royal patronage elevated the poem to a level of success that made it Spenser's defining work. <br/><br/>Book I is centered on the virtue of holiness as embodied in the Redcrosse Knight; Book II is centered on the virtue of Temperance as embodied in Sir Guyon who is tempted by the fleeing Archimago into nearly attacking the Redcrosse Knight; Book III is centered on the virtue of Chastity as embodied in Britomart a lady knight. Book IV is largely a continuation of events begun in Book III; Book V is centered on the virtue of Justice as embodied in Sir Artegall; and Book VI is centered on the virtue of Courtesy as embodied in Sir Calidore. In addition to the six virtues Holiness Temperance Chastity Friendship Justice and Courtesy the Letter to Raleigh suggests that Arthur represents the virtue of Magnificence which "according to Aristotle and the rest" is "the perfection of all the rest and containeth in it them all"; and that the Faerie Queene herself represents Glory hence her name Gloriana. The unfinished seventh book the Cantos of Mutability appears to have represented the virtue of "constancy."<br/><br/>Graesse p. 465; Lowndes V 2477; Allibone 2203; ESTC T35152; Alston 3:93.

THE SET IS COMPLETE WITH ALL HALF-TITLES. It includes Philip Masterman's 'Essay on the Life and Writings of Edmund Spenser' and an extensive glossary. The portrait is engraved by Worthington. The titles carry Pickering's distinctive 'wreath'. 'The books of Pickering's Wreath Series possess in common an exceedingly pleasant format and on their title-pages is his beautiful and individual wreath ornament usually as here with the motto 'Perennis et frgrans'. This ornament served to all intents and purposes as Pickering's 'device' in the books which he published in the years 1825 and 1826' Keynes pp.16-17. The work was an early product of his collaboration with co-publisher Talboys and Wheeler of Oxford. Pickering produced his first commercial cloth binding for his 'Diamond Classics' series of the early 1820s. 'He was afterwards imitated by other publishers but the smooth red magenta puce or dark blue cloth used by Pickering remained for many years the distinguishing mark of his books. The innovation thus quietly made by Pickering in 1820 has had its effect on the whole subsequent history of the publishing trade in England and but for him boards or paper covers for books might now be considered to be just as inevitable in this country as they still appear to be on the continent of Europe' Keynes pp.14-15. A MOST ATTRACTIVE COPY IN SPLENDID MINIMALLY RESTORED BINDING FROM ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF PUBLISHER'S CLOTH. This copy is bound in Pickering's characteristic dark brown 'puce' shade rather than the red cloth seen by Keynes. Keynes p.90 with asterisk denoting 'special merit'. William Pickering, hardcover
