AN IMPORTANT PRESSING OF THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS AND OF THE SCHOLARLY WRITINGS AND DISCUSSIONS UP TO THE CURRENT TIME. The plays are from Steevens' and Johnson's Scholarly Edition of Shakespeare 1773. This edition prints a two volume Prolegomena which consists of prefaces written for Shakespeare's plays over many years. A PROLEGOMENA TO THE DRAMATICK WRITINGS OF WILL. SHAKSPER includes along with all the most important prefaces both Rowe’s and Malone’s ‘Lives of Shakespeare’ the 1623 preface of Heming and Condell as well as Shakespeare's Will Commendatory Verses and an attempt to determine the original order of the plays. With 97 portraits vignettes and character plates including a foldout of signatures on Shakespeare's Will in Vol. II "an example of fans" in the Merry Wives' Annotations a foldout of the Morris Dancers in Henry IV part 1's Annotations and an extra vignette in Titus Andronicus. This 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 ex-cept for the Sovereign along with the Queen of France monsieur the Kings brother and a collection of 70 nobles. The edition was printed on smooth wove paper gilt edges and handsomely bound in calf probably in Bell's own bindery. 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. In the Prolegomena alone there are 8 portraits as well as several engravings of places and things related to Shakespeare. Throughout the rest of the collection each play has between 2 and 4 character portraits featuring prominent actors in the roles. 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. Printed for and Under the Direction of John Bell hardcover

A BEAUTIFULLY BOUND EARLY PRINTING OF THE MASTER’S WORKS THIS COPY WITH FINE PROVENANCE HAVING BEEN OWNED BY AUSTIN DOBSIN. The fine Pickering production of Shakespeare’s plays is still one of the most famous of the early 19th century printings and this copy is especially attractive in fine binding and ownership history. ‘Austin Dobson was distinguished as both poet and biographer. Those who study his work are struck by its maturity. It was about 1864 that he turned his attention to writing original prose and verse and some of his earliest work was his best. It was not until 1868 that the appearance of St Paul's a magazine edited by Anthony Trollope gaveDobson an opportunity and an audience; and during the next six years he contributed some of his favourite poems including "Tu Quoque" "A Gentleman of the Old School" "A Dialogue from Plato" and "Une Marquise." Many of his poems in their original form were illustrated—some indeed were written to support illustrations. By the autumn of 1873 Dobson had produced enough verse for a volume and published Vignettes in Rhyme which quickly went through three editions. During the period of their appearance in the magazine the poems had received unusual attention George Eliot among others encouraging the anonymous author. The little book immediately introduced him to a larger public. The period was an interesting one for a first appearance since the air was full of metrical experiment. Swinburne's bold excursions into classical metre had broken new ground; it was hopeless to attempt to compete and the poets of the day were looking for fresh forms and variations. Early in 1876 a small body of English poets discovered the French forms of Théodore de Banville Clement Marot and François Villon and determined to introduce them into English verse. Austin Dobson who had already made successful use of the triolet was at the head of this movement and in May 1876 he published in The Prodigals the first original ballade written in English. This he followed by English versions of the rondel rondeau and villanelle. An article in the Cornhill Magazine by Edmund Gosse "A Plea for Certain Exotic Forms of Verse" appearing in July 1877 simultaneously with Dobson's second volume Proverbs in Porcelain drew the general eye to the possibilities and achievements of the movement. The experiment was deemed a success. In 1883 Dobson published Old-World Idylls which contained some of his most characteristic work. By this time his taste was gradually settling on the period with which it has since become almost exclusively associated; and the spirit of the 18th century was revived in "The Ballad of Beau Brocade" and in "The Story of Rosina" as nowhere else in modern English poetry. In "Beau Brocade" the pictorial quality of his work is at its very best. He has been compared with Randolph Caldecott with which it has much in common; but Dobson's humour was not so "rollicking" and his portraiture not so broad as that of the illustrator of John Gilpin. His appeal was more intellectual. After 1885 Dobson was engaged mainly in critical and biographical prose by which he added considerably to the general knowledge of his favourite 18th century. His biographies of Henry Fielding 1883 Thomas Bewick 1884 Richard Steele 1886 Oliver Goldsmith 1888 Horace Walpole 1890 and William Hogarth 1879-1891-1897-1902-1907 are studies marked alike by assiduous research sympathetic presentation and sound criticism. In Four Frenchwomen 1890 in the three series of Eighteenth-Century Vignettes 1892-1894-1896 and in The Paladin of Philanthropy 1899 which contain unquestionably his most delicate prose work the accurate detail of each study is relieved by a charm of expression which could only be attained by a poet. In 1901 he collected his hitherto unpublished poems in a volume entitled Carmina Votiva.’ William Pickering hardcover
