DE PROFUNDIS
London: Methuen and Co. 36 Essex Street Strand 1905. First edition 1/200 copies on English hand-made paper. Tall 8vo. 151 pp. The fine John Quinn copy with his bookplate on the front pastedown. De Profundis is an extended letter written by Wilde during his incarceration in Reading Gaol to Lord Alfred Douglas. After his release Wilde gave the manuscript to journalist Robert Ross another former lover who edited portions for a first publication in 1905 the complete version remained unpublished until the 1960s. The letter recounts Wilde's years with Douglas and elements of their relationship and traces his spiritual growth. Ross's preface to this work quotes Wilde's summation of "De Profundis": "I don't defend my conduct. I explain it . I know that on the day of my release I will merely be moving from one prison to another and there are times when the whole world seems to be no larger than my cell and as full of terror for me. Still at the beginning I believe that God made a world for each separate man and within that world which is within us one should seek to live." Mason 389. Spine of the slipcase sunned to a rich brown a little rubbed but a fine copy of the limited issue of the first edition of Wilde's important statement. Original gilt-stamped decorated white buckram top edge gilt others untrimmed. Housed in a custom purple quarter-crushed morocco and cloth slipcase with chemise gilt spine title. 9771. <br/><br/> Methuen and Co. 36 Essex Street, Strand hardcover books

INTENTIONS . THE DECAY OF LYING PEN PENCIL AND POISON THE CRITIC AS ARTIST THE TRUTH OF MASKS
New York: Dodd Mead 1891. Rose cloth over boards lettered in yellow top edge stained brown. Spine a trifle darkened with some hand-smudging to cloth small nick at crown of spine but a very good copy. An American issue of the British sheets. Mason/Millard was unable to examine a copy of the American issue of the first edition sheets but describes a literal date in the title-imprint in a binding of the same color of cloth as this copy with the same overall dimensions. However the American issue of the second London edition does bear a literal date 1894 in the title imprint and is bound in tan cloth. Hence the copy in hand is most likely not a variant of the American issue of the second edition and may very well be the American issue of the first edition sheets 600 copies at variance from Mason/Millard's speculative description. With the pencil ownership inscription of American publisher Ingalls Kimball dated Chicago August 1894. MASON/MILLARD 343. Dodd, Mead hardcover books

INTENTIONS. The Decay of Lying Pen Pencil and Poison The Critic as Artist The Truth of Masks
1891. London: James R. Osgood McIlvaine & Co. 1891. Original yellow-green cloth decorated in gilt.<br/><br/> First Edition of this group of four essays on literature art society and criticism -- which consisted of 900 copies plus 600 printed for America with the Dodd Mead imprint. Published just a week after Wilde's only novel THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY INTENTIONS precedes all of his famous plays which came out during the span 1893-1899. In the opening essay Wilde laments the "decay of Lying as an art a science and a social pleasure." He takes to task modern literary realists like Henry James and Émile Zola for their "monstrous worship of facts" and stifling of the imagination. What makes art wonderful he says is that it is "absolutely indifferent to fact." The next essay "Pen Pencil and Poison" is a fascinating literary appreciation of the life of Thomas Griffiths Wainewright a talented painter art critic antiquarian friend of Charles Lamb and — murderer. The heart of the collection is the long two-part essay titled "The Critic as Artist." In one memorable passage after another Wilde goes to great lengths to show that the critic is every bit as much an artist as the artist himself in some cases more so. A good critic is like a virtuoso interpreter. Finally in "The Truth of Masks" Wilde returns to the theme of art as artifice and creative deception. This essay focuses on the use of masks disguises and costume in Shakespeare Goodreads. Charles Ricketts created the Fin-de-Siècle binding design and lettering -- in the same year that he also designed for the same publisher the binding of TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES. This is a near-fine copy -- there is faint mottled fading that always seems to afflict this book's cloth but there is little wear other than minor rubbing at the extremities small partly-erased signature on the endpaper. INTENTIONS has become a difficult title to acquire in better condition. Mason 341. unknown books
