Sex Work Fisher Kitty Thompson Edward
The Courtesan
London: J. Harrison in Covent Garden 1765. First edition. Contemporary panelled calf with gilt to spine and boards. All edges marbled. Marbled endpapers. Rubbing and shelfwear to spine and front board with some chipping and loss along edges; front joint and front hinge cracked but textblock holding tightly and rear tender. Bookplate of J.O. Edwards to front pastedown. Internally fresh and wide-margined measuring 265 x 210mm. Collates 2 48: bound without half title else complete. A scarce representation of London's sex workers who were made more infamous by the Harris' List of Covent Garden Ladies ESTC reports only 11 copies. In the past century it has appeared only twice at auction; the present is the only copy on the market.<br/><br/>Edward Thompson's position as a satirist "has drawn the attention of commentators from Dr. Johnson to modern times" and as his "verse and prose was generally in the manner of his declared mentors the ancients Horace and Juvenal and Ovid.his targets were frequently political and ad hominem as much as general" Bibliographic Society. Fascinated as Thompson was by tropes of metamorphosis it is no wonder that he was drawn in the present poem to consider Kitty Fisher one of the courtesans listed in the Harris' List of Covent Garden Ladies. The premier 18th century guide to London's sex trade it offered readers the names biographies locations prices and specialties of the city's most infamous sex workers. Both a source for practical information as well as the foundation of a range of pornographic fantasies in the guide's pages sex workers "become so many things" and "the women described seem at times to undergo all of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Men too are transformed though chiefly by implication" Denlinger.<br/><br/>Among "the most celebrated women" in her field Kitty Fisher was categorized in Harris' List alongside other "Covent Garden Characters and Reigning Celebrities." Yet her entry stands out among the others for instead of including her biography and expertise the publisher notably the same as Thompson's includes a letter allegedly from the lady herself bribing him to withhold her personal details. This elision puts Kitty Fisher in a position of power on a practical level; she neither commits to nor denies any activity and those who seek her services gain an equal level of discretion. On a fantasy level it also makes her a blank screen onto which readers can cast their own desires. Thompson's poem capitalizes on this potential for metamorphosis; as he satirizes Kitty her courtesan community and the clients who seek them out he highlights just how varied Kitty's identity performances can be. A wanton Amazon a Daphne a Europa a Penelope -- regardless which role a man wants her to play the only consistent demand is that she perform desire. To openly admit or focus on her own body as a commodity is to knock the ego and threaten the virility of her partner: "Great as a pleasure vulgar as a trade. Her I despise whose prostituted mind Is more to money than her joy inclin'd." Leaving acts and prices unwritten Kitty's mysterious entry in the list opens the door to this fiction as well.<br/><br/>ESTC T74546. J. Harrison in Covent Garden unknown books

Fisher Gideon L.
Farm Life and Its Changes.
Gordonville PA: Pequea Publishers 1978. First Edition. Signed by the Author. Octavo brown cloth hardcover gilt letters 384 pp. Fine in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: A Lancaster County Amish farmer remembers the depression and talks about the history of farming in America concentrating on the changes which have taken place in rural life over the past fifty or more years. From the building of a homestead to the development of high-powered farm machinery from a description of family life over the years to an insider’s view of modern day tourism in Lancaster County. This is a book filled with colorful anecdotes thoughtful observations and homespun wisdom. The wide varieties of activities described include corn planting and harvesting potato growing tobacco farming the raising of poultry steers and hogs dairy farming preserving foods cooking butchering handling manure and the development of indoor plumbing. Gideon also discusses in Farm Life and Its Changes the influences of the outside world which the Amish farmer must continually face. The pressure of progress and the pressure to “get big or get out†so widespread in modern agriculture are keenly felt by the Amish farmer who has chosen to use old-fashioned methods on a relatively small scale. Yet the Amish have been able to maintain their integrity and simplicity in the face of such threats from the outside. This book also offers insights into how they continue to preserve their way of life. Pequea Publishers, 1978. First Edition. hardcover books
