1922réf. 27887Leipzig: Hesse & Becker 1922. First edition of this selection. Portrait frontispiece. 176 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Mustard cloth stamped in brown. Bookplate of Francis Kettaneh. Minor toning of textblock. Fine in glassine dust wrapper. First edition of this selection. Portrait frontispiece. 176 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Poems by the prolific German-born author George Sylvester Viereck 1884-1962 who first gained renown for The House of the Vampire and Nineveh and other Poems both 1907 which showed the strong influence of Oscar Wilde. Viereck became notorious for his pro-German propaganda during the first world war and later for his pro-Nazi propaganda before and during the second world war for which he was imprisoned. This is a German-language selection of his early verse including Nineveh 1907 with some pieces translated by other hands. Viereck's free German translation "frei verdeutscht" of The Ballad of Reading Gaol appears here at pages 151-175; his English translation of the Deutschlandslied "Deutschland Deutschland Land of All Lands" which appears here on p. 176 remained standard for many years.

1882réf. List3658Boston Massachusetts: W. A. Evans & Bro 1882. Folio illustrated wraps. Pages detached from each other small chip to corner images and music fine remains good to very good and quite attractive. Good to very good. A visually striking example of Oscar Wilde-related ephemera issued during the height of the writer's American lecture tour of 1882. Though lacking a printed date the title strongly suggests publication in connection with Wilde's appearance at the Boston Music Hall on January 31 1882 where he delivered his lecture "The English Renaissance" as part of his widely publicized tour across the United States. Contemporary accounts describe the event as a notable cultural moment including the presence of Harvard students dressed in exaggerated aesthetic costume who occupied the front rows of the hall reflecting both the fascination with and satirical reception of Wilde's aesthetic persona.1 The lithographic cover prominently depicts a figure carrying an oversized sunflower an image closely associated with Wilde and the broader Aesthetic Movement. Such illustrated sheet music functioned not only as musical publications but also as collectible artifacts capitalizing on the figure of Wilde. Over the course of several months he traveled widely across the United States and Canada delivering lectures on art decoration and cultural taste and quickly became a subject of both admiration and parody in the American press. Although he never returned for a comparable national tour Wilde maintained a lasting connection to American audiences. We know of a variant edition of the Evans imprint with a different illustration as well as a different version published in Boston by Ditson the same year.

Original pink cloth covers bound in at end. The first and still foundational bibliography of Oscar Wilde compiled by his friend and literary defender Christopher Sclater Millard writing under the pseudonym "Stuart Mason." Produced with the close cooperation of Robert Ross Wilde's literary executor this work remains indispensable for collectors scholars and the trade. Millard's bibliography is far more than a mere listing: it provides detailed descriptions of Wilde's books pamphlets periodical contributions and translations along with valuable notes on variants piracies and publication history. Issued at a time when Wilde's reputation was still in recovery following his death in 1900 the book represents an early and important effort to establish a serious scholarly framework for Wilde's oeuvre. Particularly useful are the numerous facsimiles - title-pages wrappers and documents - which give the work practical bibliographical authority and make it a key reference for identifying first editions and priority issues. A cornerstone Wilde reference here in an attractive mid-twentieth-century morocco binding well suited to the collector's shelf. London: T. Werner Laurie, 1916 unknown

réf. 06517London: Methuen & Co. Ltd. 1922. The Infamous Fifteenth Volume - Wilde's 'Lost' Play That Wasn't" WILDE Oscar. For Love of the King. London: Methuen & Co. Ltd. 1922. Limited to 1000 copies. Small quarto 8 3/8 x 5 3/4 inches; 213 x 146 mm. vi blank xiv 1-39 1 blank 4 blank pp. Handsomely bound in three-quarter black morocco over gray marbled boards covers ruled in gilt spine with five raised bands lettered in gilt in compartments gray marbled endpapers top edge gilt others uncut. With the Ex Libris bookplate of Charles Bauman on the front paste-down. Housed in a black morocco edged cloth slipcase. An unusually fine well-preserved copy enhanced by an attractive later morocco binding. The notorious "fifteenth volume" of the Methuen collected works of Wilde. Originally issued in 1908 in fourteen volumes the set was unexpectedly augmented in 1922 by the addition of For Love of the King presented by the publisher as a newly discovered Wilde play. The claim was quickly met with skepticism and the work is now generally regarded as spurious or at best of highly doubtful attribution. Despite this Methuen produced the volume in uniform style with the earlier set encouraging its assimilation into complete runs. The text itself - a "Burmese Masque" - differs markedly in tone and quality from Wilde's authenticated dramatic works further contributing to the controversy surrounding its authorship. Long considered one of the more curious episodes in Wilde bibliography An essential - and somewhat mischievous - addition for collectors of the Methuen Wilde. London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1922 unknown
