‎Autograph letter signed with initials “N. B.†to George Stevens written below a letter in Italian by Pietro Gamba‎

‎Cephalonia 1823. 3 pp. on a single sheet bifolium with address To Msgr Stevens Argostoli. 8vo. Small tear above signature from opening wax seal still present. Old docketing in French. 3 pp. on a single sheet bifolium with address To Msgr Stevens Argostoli. 8vo. A notable Byron letter showing his commitment to join the armed struggle in Greece just before he left Cephalonia for the Greek mainland. As is frequently the case Byron writes beneath a letter from Count Gamba whose sister was Byron’s mistress Countess Guiccioli addressed “Caro Stevensâ€. The correspondent George Stevens was a customs official at Argostoli on Cephalonia and a recipient of several letters from Byron in 1823.<br /> <br /> “P.S. Dear sir Gamba is half asleep and and sic don't know what he says. I do not suppose it to be Parry's Brigade - but whoever or whatever it be - if it came from the committee I will attend to it with all diligence. The boats had better be engaged because if this intelligence is not confirmed I must sail at any rate and even if it be I shall sail as soon as possible after communicating with the vessels on their voyage which if my instructions do not err or I for them are committed to my direction. I do not perceive however how a ship directed to Greece Continental from London can touch at Ancona in its propoer course unless it has continued to pass the Alps by Steam or a special wind of Providence added to a new Deluge. But whether correct or otherwise the repeat of our friend Count Delladecima believe that I am ever and truly .â€<br /> <br /> Byron had been staying on Cephalonia since August. Edward Trelawny his opportunistic and self-aggrandizing sometime travelling companion had gone to Greece in September and was soon converted to another faction in the Greek struggle for independence. In November Byron was besieged by requests for money and a week after this letter would pledge large sums to the cause. Here he demonstrates a considerable flash of wit and knowledge of current technology as he reminds his correspondent of the realities of Italian geography and suggests Steam power or a new Deluge as the only possible explanation for a proposed itinerary Ancona is on the Adriatic far to the north of Cephalonia.<br /> <br /> As the representative of the London Greek Committee “Byron remained in Cephalonia with Pietro Gamba multiplying his Greek contacts and assessing information he was gathering as a prelude to action. When Prince Alexander Mavrocordatos who eventually became first president of independent Greece moved to Missolonghi in December he invited Byron to join him and his forces†ODNB. Byron and Gamba departed from Argostoli on 29 December 1823. Gamba’s vessel was captured and briefly held by the Turks; Byron reached Missolonghion 4 January 1824.<br /> <br /> This letter was previously known only in an excerpt from the description in catalogue 44 of F. Naylor July 1878 incorrectly dated to May and lacking the name of the correspondent published in A Heart for Every Fate: Byron's Letters and Journals Vol. 10 1980 pp. 161-162.<br /> <br /> A CHOICE BYRON LETTER FROM JUST BEFORE HIS FATEFUL EXPEDITION TO MISSOLONGHI. Marchand 10:161-2 a partial transcription misdated to May 1823 unknown‎

‎Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.‎

‎London: John Murray 1841. First illustrated edition. The fine heraldic binding was commissioned for Prince Antonio Boncompagni Ludovisi 1808-1883 who was appointed to the first senate during Italy's reunification in 1861. At this time in the country Byron's posthumous "popularity became so great that he came to be regarded as a native Italian poet" Zuccato p. 85. This volume also has the slightly later bookplate of a Count Sanminiatelli. Childe Harold - the work that made Byron famous - was first published between 1812 and 1818. This edition was published in one volume with fine steel engravings by William Finden and his brother Edward which "sensitively conveyed to a wide contemporary audience images of Byron's life and work" ODNB. These engravings are accompanied by a folding map also by Finden showing the journey of "Childe Harold" from England to Portugal across the Mediterranean to Malta through Greece and the Aegean islands to Troy and Constantinople. Octavo 235 x 155 mm. With 61 steel engravings on India paper to the text and folding map all by W. and E. Finden after drawings by Thomas Creswick Charles Robert Cockerell Thomas Phillips and others.

‎Childe Harold.‎

‎London: John Murray 1816. Inscribed by Byron to inspire his fellow writer and later by Maturin in memory of his friend Presentation copy of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage inscribed by Byron on the half-title "To the Revd R. C. Maturin from the Author". Following Byron's death in 1824 Maturin inscribed a quatrain from a contemporary poem by James Montgomery on the rear free endpaper in memoriam: "Friend after friend departs; / Who hath not lost a friend / There is no union here of hearts / That hath not here an end". Byron and Maturin enjoyed a warm literary friendship beginning in December 1815 when they were introduced by Walter Scott. That month Maturin sent Byron the manuscript for his Gothic tragedy Bertram. Byron adored the play writing to John Murray that he received the manuscript "late in the evening and read it through without being able to stop" Murray letter to Scott 25 December 1815. In a letter to Maturin he praised the work as "a very extraordinary production - of great & singular merit as a composition" 22 December 1815. Byron helped Maturin bring his work to the stage sending the manuscript to George Lamb with whom he managed the Drury Lane Theatre Lamb like Byron read the play by candlelight and "could not go to bed without finishing it". Despite his enthusiasm for Maturin's tragedy Byron found himself exiled from England from April 1816 and never saw the play performed. His Childe Harold was nonetheless an important influence on its success: "Bertram undoubtedly benefitted from the great popularity of Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage the first two cantos of which had been published in 1812 for the hero of Maturin's play was spoken of by a number of contemporary critics as a 'Byronic figure'" Lougy p. 45. The play became Maturin's first critical and commercial success and his touching inscription at the rear of the volume reveals the gratitude and affection he felt for the poet. This copy of Childe Harold is from the 1816 edition of Byron's collected works. Vol. I of IV only duodecimo 165 x 106 mm. Engraved plate by Thomas Stothard with tissue facing p. 10. Contemporary unlettered calf. Housed in a custom brown quarter morocco folding box by the Chelsea Bindery. Book label of J. O. Edwards to front pastedown. Binding worn front joint cracked but cords firm contents clean. A good copy in unrestored condition. Robert E. Lougy Charles Robert Maturin 1975. unknown‎

‎Don Juan.‎

‎London: Thomas Davison i.e. John Murray 1819-1821 Cantos I-V Volumes I-II/John Hunt 1823-24 Cantos VI-XVI Volumes III-VI. Scarce complete first edition set of Byron's great work which was widely criticized as immoral upon publication and is now considered one of the greatest poems of the Romantics; from the library of American writer Erica Jong. Volume one was produced in quarto format and the subsequent 5 volumes in octavo Davison abandoned the quarto format after disappointing sales of the first volume six volumes uniformly bound in full morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine double gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt inner dentelles marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With an autograph letter signed by Lady Byron bound into the first volume. Written from Moore Place Esher the letter reads in part "Dear Sir I am much obliged to you for offering to look for another young Teacher in place of the one who is engaged but I have no difficulty in finding a Substitute. I should however be glad if you could find me an older master for a situation in Warwickshire - to manage a day-school on the Garden plan for Bogs - the emolument would not exceed 20 to 24 pounds with Board - He would be under the direction of a very good Clergyman - A single man would be preferred there being no room at the Schoolhouse for him - she must lodge at some distance. Lady Olivia Sparrow is still active in her charitable undertakings though I sometimes wish they were less governed by hasty feelings in religious matters. Yours truly A.I. Noel Byron Moore Place Esher Nov 19th." From the library of Erica Jong. Jong remains best known for her 1973 novel Fear of Flying which became famously controversial for its portrayal of female sexuality and figured prominently in the development of second-wave feminism. Written in the first person and narrated by its protagonist 29-year-old American poet Isadora Wing Fear of Flying was written in the throes of the Sexual Revolution of the 1970s and encapsulated the movement’s redefinition of female sexuality. In interviews Jong stated: “At the time I wrote Fear of Flying there was not a book that said women are romantic women are intellectual women are sexual—and brought all those things together… What Isadora is looking for is how to be a whole human being a body and a mind and that is what women were newly aware they needed in 1973.†The novel remains a feminist classic and has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Jong notable used a quotation from Don Juan as the epigraph in Fear of Flying "Alas! the love of women! it is known To be a lovely and a fearful thing; For all of theirs upon that die is thrown And if 'tis lost life hath no more to bring To them but mockeries of the past alone And their revenge is as the tiger's spring Deadly and quick and crushing; yet as real Torture is theirs -- what they inflict they feel. They are right; for man to man so oft unjust Is always so to women; one sole bond Awaits them -- treachery is all their trust; Taught to conceal their bursting hearts despond Over their idol till some wealthier lust Buys them in marriage -- and what rests beyond A thankless husband -- next a faithless lover -- Then dressing nursing praying -- and all's over. Some take a lover some take drams or prayers Some mind their household others dissipation Some run away and but exchange their cares Losing the advantage of a virtuous station; Few changes e'er can better their affairs Theirs being an unnatural situation From the dull palace to the dirty hovel: Some play the devil and then write a novel" Lord Byron Don Juan 1824. In fine condition. Scarce and with fine provenance. "The War and Peace of English poetry Don Juan contains an epic sweep that moves from Spain to the East and to Russia before ending in England… At the same time that Byron's broad canvas foretells the scope of the great 19th-century novels the poet's own sensibilities echo the picaresque 18th-century novels of his early reading Smollett and Fielding with their bawdy humor and sly inversions of vice and virtue. Unlike these prose narratives however Don Juan has no beginning middle or end. It draws us in not to learn 'what happens next' but to hear what this seductive confidential teasing voice is going to tell us" Eisler 610. When Cantos I through V appeared they did so without the name of either author or publisher on the title page. Publisher John Murray refused to print Byron's dedicatory poem which ridiculed English poet laureate Robert Southey and Byron refused to put his name on a censored publication. Because of Byron's change from his long-standing publisher Murray to John Hunt brother of writer Leigh Hunt midway through Don Juan complete first-edition copies with all cantos are scarce.
