-University of Nebraska Press 1991-. First English edition. Cloth. Very good in dustjacket with some edge-wear and small damage to the rear panel. A serious artist and a literary clown nonpareil Max Jacob was born in Brittany in 1876 and died in a Nazi prison camp in 1944. His influence on modern French poetry was profound and his modernist lyrical verse is still widely read. Much of his other work is equally exciting and original but has waited decades for capable translators. Hesitant Fire makes available for the first time in English some of his best prose. The translators Moishe Black and Maria Green have succeeded in catching his gift for linguistic innovation for mimicry and buffoonery often a millimeter away from melancholy. This anthology displays Jacob's versatility for he wrote in a dozen styles. "The Story of King Kabul the First and Gawain the Kitchen-Boy" is a fable populated by Balibridgians and Bouloulabassians. Excerpts from "In Defense of Tartufe" reveal the poet's mysticism and aestheticism. Those from "The Flowering Plant" offer brilliant social analysis behind a mask of the Absurd. Flim-Flam studies such characters as "The Lawyer Who Meant to Have Two Wives Instead of One" and "The Unmarried Teacher at the High School in Cherbourg." The "Dullard Prince" blends autobiography and fiction. "Letters to Mrs. Goldencalf" and other imaginary members of the bourgeoisie are taken from The Dark Room. Never before published "The Maid" was inspired by a contemporary murder case. Also included here are portions of "The Bouchaballe Property" Jacob's favorite of his own novels; entries from "A Traveler's Notebook"; personal letters; and four religious meditations. For many English-language readers "Hesitant Fire" will be in introduction to a writer who was an immediate precursor of Surrealism who was a close friend of Picasso and Apollinaire who converted to Catholicism but retained an intensely Jewish outlook and who produced work that is still vivid nearly a half-century after his death. Moishe Black is a professor and Maria Green a professor emeritus of French at the University of Saskatchewan. Black's articles and papers include some published by the Centre de Recherches Max Jacob. Green has compiled a "Bibliographie et documentation sur Max Jacob" 1988 and a "Bibliographie integrale de la poesie de Max Jacob" 1991 and has edited three volumes of Jacob's letters. -University of Nebraska Press (1991)- hardcover

Sackets Harbor N.Y. 1813. 1pp. Folio. Old fold lines. Some separation at folds; one tear closed with archival tape. Lightly soiled. Docketed on verso. Good. A dramatic battlefield letter from the Battle of Sackets Harbor a key action in the War of 1812. An eyewitness account of the second battle of Sackett's Harbor on the shores of Lake Ontario written by the commander of the American forces there Gen. Jacob Brown to his friend Joshua Hatheway Quartermaster General and formerly the commander of the defenses at Sackets Harbor. The town situated near the entrance to the St. Lawrence River at the far eastern end of Lake Ontario and opposite the Canadian town of Kingston was a vital defensive point for the Americans challenging British control of the St. Lawrence and the lake and preventing a British thrust into New York State. If either side could control both sides of the entrace to the St. Lawrence they could control the Upper Great Lakes. Taking advantage of the American action against York which drew troops away to the western end of the Lake the British decided to strike. On the 28th of May 1813 the British Great Lakes squadron under the command of James Yeo appeared off Sackets Harbor carrying troops under the command of the Governor-General Lieut. General George Prevost. Having been forewarned by several men who escaped the Battle of Henderson Bay the previous day the Americans had some time to reinforce their defenses before the British could attack. The British landed on the 28th but launched their main attack the next morning. They easily routed the American militia but the regulars under Brown were able to fight off repeated attacks on their fortifications. Prevost fearing the arrival of more American troops ordered a retreat which nearly became a rout. Brown was the hero of the day and was later rewarded with a comission as brigader general. He must have immediately written this letter describing the action: "Dr. Sir I received an order some days since from Genl Dearborn to take comm. at this Post. Comd. Chauncey is up the lake. We were this morning attacked as day dawned by Sir George Prevost in person who made good his landing with at least a thousand picked men. Sir James Yeo commanded the fleet after loosing some distinguished officers and of course some gallant men. Our loss is very severe as to the quality of those who have fallen. The enemy left many of their wounded on the Field - but I have no doubt carried off many more. We shall probably be again attacked as Sir George must feel very sore. All I can say is whatever may be the result we will not be disgraced." A superb battlefield letter reporting on one of the most significant military actions of the War of 1812. unknown
