1932réf. B5337New York: Hogarth Press c. 1932. Some mild wear otherwise in good condition. Slipcase is in good condition. . Edition: First Edition. Binding: Original publisher’s black cloth with gilt text and rules on top cover. Gilt text and rules on spine. Top edge dyed red. Front and bottom edge uncut. Black pasted and free endpapers. Illustrated gray and black slipcase. Notes: The Satyricon is a Latin work of fiction believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius though the manuscript tradition identifies the author as a certain Titus Petronius. The Satyricon is an example of Menippean satire which is very different from the formal verse satire of Juvenal or Horace. The work contains a mixture of prose and verse commonly known as prosimetrum; and serious and comic elements. Scholars often describe it as a "Roman novel" without necessarily implying continuity with the modern literary form. Size: 4to 237x166mm. Illustration: With a frontispiece and 100 illustrations by Alexander King. Transation: Oscar Wilde Category: Book Literature Hogarth Press hardcover

1919réf. 139580London: Methuen & Co. Ltd 1919. First edition of this selection of Wilde's literary criticism. Octavo original publisher's cloth. In near fine condition. Ownership inscription. Wilde’s “theme is not as is often supposed art’s divorce from life but its inescapable arraignment by experience. His creative works almost always end in unmasking. The hand that adjusts the green carnation suddenly shakes an admonitory finger. While the ultimate virtue in Wilde’s essays is in make-believe the denouement of his dramas and narratives is that masks have to go. We must acknowledge what we are. Wilde at least was keen to do so. Though he offered himself as the apostle of pleasure his created world contains much pain” Ellmann xvi. Wilde's A Critic in Pall Mall contains extracts from his critical works on Keats Shakespeare Balzac Aristotle early Christian art in Ireland Y.B. Years and William Morris among a wide variety of other subjects. Methuen & Co. Ltd hardcover
