Not a book club edition. No owner's name or bookplate. Not a remainder. A year-by-year chronology of Pope's life and work. Includes an introduction bibliography and annotated lists of the principal people and places mentioned. From the Dust Jacket: "Alexander Pope is recognized as one of the greatest poets of the eighteenth century and perhaps the greatest verse satirist writing in the English language. A Pope Chronology outlines the important events in the poet's personal and professional life by extracting facts and clues from an array of documents including letters journals and the most recent scholarship. The student of his poetry is likely to find it fascinating as well as useful to know just when Pope was at work on each poem what other literary enterprises he was engaged in at the same time who he was meeting what places he was visiting and what were the relevant circumstances of his personal and professional life. Glancing through even a small part of A Pope Chronology gives the reader a sense of the richness and variety of Pope's activities and interests as his life was lived from day to day." .

Kaplan, Victor Lorenz (poetry); Dorothea Baer [Tyler] (woodcuts)
MUCKLEFOOT MISCELLANY
New York: Hand set in Caslon Old Face & Priory Text by M. Martin & C. Skalba apprentices & printed at Uranian Press N.Y.C. 1960. 4 broadsides approximately 20 x 8 1/2 inches in original printed paper folder 21 x 8 3/4 inches. Printed on tan paper. Signed and numbered in pencil on front cover of folder by Baer and Kaplan. Front cover of folder embossed with seal of the Uranian Press. Fine. <br /><br />Numbered 298 of 400 copies. <br /><br />The first Uranian Press "Broadside Ballads Folio" inspired by the the blackletter broadside ballad of Elizabethan England advertised in the 1960 Uranian Press Catalogue One and sold by Uranian Press founder Richard O. Tyler in the Judson Church Yard in Greenswich Village. The poems are composed by Victor Lorenz Kaplan a.k.a. Ralph Mucklefoot type set by young apprentices Michael Martin and Conard Skalbo and illustrated with woodcuts by Dorothea Baer wife of Richard Tyler and co-founder of the Uranian Press and the later Uranian Phalanstery. The first three broadsides "Simple Simon" Of Hodge wrack'd by the New Plaguge & Mucklefoot's Prescription of Deliverance" and "Ralph O' Bellvue" bear 1959 imprints and are presumably the items referred to in the Press's 1959 ELIZABETHAN BALLADS broadside. The fourth broadside "A Fable for Foxes" and printed folder bear 1960 imprints. <br /><br />Richard Oviet Tyler 1926-1983 established the Uranian Press in 1958 in the basement of a tenement on the Lower East Side where by 1960 he had installed four printing presses. Under the Uranian imprint Tyler his wife Dorothea Baer Tyler and friends produced chapbooks broadsides and artist's books through the mid-1960s. Tyler was a fixture in Greenwich Village during this period selling the Press's wares from a pushcart in the yard of Judson Memorial Church a nod to both contemporary Jewish peddlers of the Lower East Side and the chapmen of Elizabethan England. He played an important if still underappreciated role in the nascent expanded arts movements of the New York avant garde scene with both the Press and its performance arm the Uranian Alchemical Players. The Uranian circle expanded into a quasi-religious collective incorporating Jungian and Gnostic ideas of creativity and consciousness LSD Western astrology alchemy Tibetan Buddhism and the political thought of Charles Fourier becoming known officially in 1974 as the Uranian Phalanstery. OCLC records six copies. Hand set in Caslon Old Face & Priory Text, by M. Martin & C. Skalba, apprentices, & printed at Uranian Press N.Y.C.
