His debut First edition of Wilde's first independent publication a poetic evocation of the historic Italian city composed while a student at Oxford and awarded the University's prestigious Newdigate Prize; "its laments for the sufferings of Dante and Byron proclaimed admiration and anticipation" ODNB. The inspiration for the poem came on a "vacation ramble" to Italy in 1877. Wilde recited the poem at the Sheldonian Theatre on 26 June where according to the review published the next day in The Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduate's Journal he was "listened to with rapt attention and frequently applauded" Ellman p. 94. Provenance: Alfred Sutro 1869-1945 with his bookplate. Sutro was a San Francisco lawyer and bibliophile who served as president of the Book Club of California from 1925 to 1945. Octavo pp. 16.

1878réf. 11085Oxford: Thos. Shrimpton and Son 1878. First Edition. Sewn binding. Very good . Octavo 16pp. First and only issue with the Oxford crest on the front wrapper and title page there were pirated editions that lacked these. A nice sound copy internally lovely with the original grey-green wrappers expertly backed onto sympathetic archival paper. Overall very good or better. A fragile publication and among the most elusive of Wilde volumes. The Newdigate Prize awarded since 1806 is given to the best composition in English verse by an undergraduate student at Oxford. A strong effort right out of the gate from the short-lived but highly influential Anglo-Irish writer. Mason 301. Thos. Shrimpton and Son unknown
1878réf. 149908Oxford: Thos. Shrimpton and Son 1878. Attractively bound copy of Wilde's first independent publication First edition of Wilde's first independent publication an attractively bound copy preserving the original wrappers and with the bookplate to the front pastedown of the eccentric sportsman and artist William Eden 1849-1915 father of future Prime Minister Anthony Eden and who like Wilde had a dispute with the artist James McNeill Whistler. The inspiration for Wilde's prize-winning poem came on a "vacation ramble" to Italy in 1877 with the precentor and junior dean of Trinity College Dublin William Mahaffy. According to the review published the next day in The Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduate's Journal Wilde's recitation of it at Oxford was "listened to with rapt attention and frequently applauded" Ellman p. 94. Eden excelled at a range of sports from boxing and horse riding to shooting "the epitome of the sporting squire" ODNB a member of several clubs and well known in London society. So too was he a keen amateur artist and aesthete building a fine collection of paintings and was a member of the aristocratic group The Souls. The contrast between the sportsman and the aesthete has been noted: "There was little that was harmonious in his nature and the aesthetic side warred with and exacerbated rather than complemented his athleticism making him a bored sportsman and a militant aesthete. As he grew older the world's failure to correspond to his ideals drove him to furious rages and the debased taste of humanity confirmed his atheism - for how could a God have made such a botch of things" ibid. His dispute with Whistler was occasioned when Eden commissioned a portrait of his wife which Whistler executed but then kept the cheque without handing over the painting leading to a legal case which resulted in Whistler's book The Baronet and the Butterfly 1899. Wilde too had a lengthy rivalry with Whistler out of the courts but with very public sparring. Octavo 16 pp. 176 x 119 mm. Early 20th-century pink straight-grain morocco for Hatchards of Piccadilly spine lettered in gilt pink cloth sides marbled endpapers top edge gilt pink silk page marker; bulked with 20 binder's blanks. With the original green printed wrappers bound in. Spine lightly sunned very light rubbing at extremities short split at foot of front wrapper; an excellent copy.
