1640rif. BBO36SHAKESPEARE William: POEMS: Written by Wil. Shake-speare. Gent. London: Printed by Tho. Cotes and are to be sold by John Benson dwelling in St. Dunstans Church-yard 1640. 8vo engraved Portrait Frontispiece by William Marshall after Droeshout with verses below. Two letterpress title pages both with woodcut printer's device the second undated title-page extended and remargined at bottom tiny abrasion at top of frontispiece catchword 3 carelessly printed and punched through final leaf M4 extended; russet morocco by Bedford covers gilt paneled marbled endpapers spine and edges gilt. FIRST COLLECTED EDITION. This edition by Benson brings together all but eight of the sonnets: A Lover s Complaint The Passionate Pilgrim mostly not by Shakespeare The Phoenix and the Turtle attributed to Shakespeare and elegies and other poems honoring Shakespeare by Jonson Milton Digges Herrick Strode Carew and others. Benson famously reorganized the sonnets probably out of concern that an old-fashioned sonnet sequence would not appeal to the generation of the Cavalier Poets. Many are run together to form poems of twenty-eight lines or more and all are given titles. Benson also made some effort to disguise the homoerotic content found in some sonnets perhaps most strikingly in his changes to Sonnet 101 O truant Muse what shall be thy amends which he runs together with Sonnet 100 under the title An invocation of his Muse while he also switches the gender of the pronouns to make the poet s lover female.

1944rif. 6179Wartime edition. First edition of 'Romeo and Juliet' in Pasternak's adaptation for children. At the end of the 1930s Pasternak became a translator: '..not by good fortune through misprision and if conditions were better I ought not to be translating at all' Makaryk McHugh. Shakespeare and the Second World War. 2012. Two extracts from 'Romeo and Juliet' appeared in magazines in 1941 '30 Dney' No 4 and 'Internatsional'naya Literatura' No 5 but the beginning of WWII interrupted his work. In October 1941 Pasternak was evacuated to Chistopol where he finished the translation in February 1942. He wrote to his first wife Eugeniya Pasternak that he was totally absorbed in his work and had not written to anyone for more than two months — 'a conscious sacrifice for "Romeo and Juliet"'Sergeeva-Klyatis. Pasternak v Zhizni. 2015. It costs him 'more pain' than 'Hamlet' the first Shakespeare play translated by Pasternak. In Chistopol he gave a public reading at Teacher's House on February 26. Tickets cost four and five rubles and 'the event was held as a benefit performance for soldiers of the Red Army' Boris Pasternak: A Literary Biography. Vol. 2. 2004. After the first extremely rare collotype edition 100 copies only the play was not published for a year. Pasternak believed that it was due to the deteriorating political situation between the Soviet Union and the UK: '..it had an effect on Shakespeare and after him on me so my shares falling.' Lucenko. ".Pod Ruku s Morozovym". 2016. The first official edition was published in OGIZ in February 1944 and the next edition was supposed to appear in Detgiz the state publishing house of children's literature. The author of the preface a literary critic Shakespearean Mikhail Morozov 1897–1952 called this translation 'a magnificent artistic creation' but he also considered that this translation is not for children. Pasternak corrected edited and shortened the translation especially for children. Most likely an artist Elena Rodionova 1912–1996 prepared these illustrations of 'Romeo and Juliet' before WWII. For the first time the illustration with the balcony scene appeared in the magazine '30 Dney' '30 Days' No 4 1941 p. 42. Zakharenko 1955. # 113. Detgiz paperback
1734rif. 33904London: J. Tonson 1734. A pleasing and early octavo printing. Engraved frontispiece engraved head-piece and a six-line engraved initial at the beginning of the text Small 8vo bound in later blue wrappers hand calligraphed on the cover in brown ink. 96pp. A fine and well preserved copy the blue wrappers as pristine some minor mellowing and some minor spotting in places internally. VERY SCARCE. From the important Theobold oeuvre. Although Theobold ultimately gave way to Johnson in popularity he remains one of the pre-eminent Shakespearean editors. Churton Collins writing in the DNB claimed it “would not be too much to say that the text of Shakespeare owes more to Theobold than to any other editor.” The collection also draws on two rival editions J. Tonson’s and R. Walker’s. Although the two are nearly identical Tonson issued an advertisement warning the public against “such Useless Pirated and Maim’d Editions as are publish’d by the said R. Walker.” Cymbeline contains famous quotations among which are: Boldness be my friend: Arm me audacity from head to foot! Iachimo Act 1 Scene 6 The game is up. Belarius Act 3 Scene 3 I have not slept one wink. Pisanio Act 3 Scene 4 I see a man’s life is a tedious one. Innogen Act 3 Scene 6 All gold and silver rather turn to dirt. Arviragus Act 3 Scene 6 Play judge and executioner all himself. Guiderius Act 4 Scene 2 J. Tonson unknown
1785rif. 33894London: John Bell British Library Strand 1785. First in the "literary edition" of Shakespeare's plays by Bell. With two frontispiece engravings in the volume. 12mo the play bound into later blue paper wrappers lettered caligraphically in brown on the upper wrapper. iv 5-103 pp. A fine copy very well preserved and with the wrappers as pristine. FIRST OF THE EDITION. The is from Steevens' and Johnson's Scholarly Edition of Shakespeare 1773. This edition prints Observations prior to each play. The "Literary" Shakespeare was published serially beginning in 1785 and collected in 20 vols. What distinguishes this edition from the others by Bell is the elaborateness of the presentation. This was the culmination of a 15 year effort to publish an edition of the Bard's works which had a high cultural value due to its edition annotation and beauty of its typography and illustration. Indeed this edition proved a social triumph for Bell with his assembled 1800 subscribers including the Royal Family except for the Sovereign along with the Queen of France monsieur the King's brother and a collection of 70 nobles. The edition was printed on smooth wove paper and in this edition Bell first replaced the long s � with the modern small rounded s an innovation which quickly caught on. There are many more portraits in this edition than in the earlier "acting" editions of Shakespeare. The engraved frontispieces feature a prominent actor or actress in the role. In contrast to the engravings of the earlier edition these portraits have oval borders and lush backgrounds. The actors themselves are rendered in a much softer more romantic style. The artists Bell commissioned were all under the age of 25 and relatively unknown. Most notable among them was the young Johan Heinrich Ramberg who had come to England from Hanover under the patronage of George III. It is because of these young artists that these portraits are so different from those in the "acting" edition. Ramberg brought with him a European aesthetic and all the artists brought the burgeoning romantic artistic trends to the drawing boards. John Bell, British Library, Strand hardcover
