Leather dried and quite rubbed with brief loss at spine crown joints cracked but holding boards a bit soiled else Good internally fine. An amateur unpublished and incomplete translation of Friderich Schiller's historical play "Mary Stuart" set during the imprisonment and final days of Mary Queen of Scots. First produced in Weimar in 1800 Joseph Mellish's English translation appeared in London the following year though the same text would not make its way across the Atlantic until almost forty years later in a Philadelphia 1840 edition. Though it is difficult to pinpoint exactly who this translator was we find records of a Mary A. Batchelder born in Charlestown Massachusetts ca. 1835 who may have attended a bastardized performance of the play though sources indicate that the earliest American production attributed to Schiller was not performed in the United States in the English language until 1865 preceded by a French-language production in 1855 at Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theatre. According to the same source "It has been equally impossible to identify the 'Mary Stuart' produced at the Tremont Theatre Boston on Dec. 13 1829 by Mrs. J.R. Duff at a single performance for this lady's benefit" see F.E. Chase's Introduction to the Boston 1904 edition of "Mary Stuart" p. 7. Batchelder's translation is certainly more colloquial than Mellish's Shakespearean rendition perhaps a result of the fifty years and geographical separation between the two. The first scene opens on Hannah Kennedy attendant to Mary Queen of Scots and Paulet a knight and the Queen's keeper as the latter tries to break into a closet or trunk at the Castle of Fotheringay just after Mary's sentence but before Elizabeth's signing of the death warrant. Mellish's translation of the first few lines as follows: Kennedy: How now sir What fresh outrage have we here Back from that cabinet! Paulet: Whence came the jewel I know 'twas from an upper chamber thrown; And you would bribe the gardener with your trinkets. A curse on woman's wiles! In spite of all My strict precaution and my active search Still treasures here still costly gems concealed! Batchelder's translation of the same lines are as follows: Kennedy: What are you doing Sir What new audacity! Back from this trunk! Paulet. Whence came this ornament From the upper story it would have been cast down; the gardener would have been bribed by this finery--A curse upon women's craft! In spite of my inspection to my close search yet here are jewels yet hidden treasures! This translation of Schiller's work which sadly ends mid-sentence is something of a clunker though a valuable source of linguistic interpretation and the wild discrepancies two speakers of the same language can reach from an identical source. unknown books

réf. 05834New York: Grosset & Dunlap Inc. 1973. Marilyn" Norman Mailer's Lavish Tribute to Hollywood's Most Enduring Icon Signed by Norman Mailer and Lawrence Schiller MONROE Marilyn. Marilyn a Biography by Norman Mailer. Pictures by the world's foremost photographers. New York: Grosset & Dunlap 1973. First Edition First Printing Stated. Quarto 10 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches; 267 x 235 mm. 2 signed leaf verso blank 1-270 1 1 blank pp. Photographic illustrations throughout many in full color. Publisher's padded white silk front cover with title in blind spine lettered in blank marbled endpapers. A fine copy. Housed in the publisher's black cloth clamshell case inset photograph on front panel marbled paper lining near fine. A sumptuous and visually arresting tribute to Marilyn Monroe combining Norman Mailer's speculative and highly personal meditation on Monroe's life with one of the richest assembled collections of Marilyn photography ever published. Produced on a grand scale and lavishly illustrated throughout the volume captures the mythic transformation of Norma Jeane Mortenson into perhaps the defining American cultural icon of the twentieth century. Mailer's text - part biography part cultural essay part psychological portrait - deliberately avoids the conventions of traditional biography. As Mailer himself acknowledged much of the narrative was constructed through intuition and imaginative reconstruction creating not merely a life of Monroe but an exploration of celebrity sexuality vulnerability and fame in postwar America. The extraordinary photographic content remains the book's greatest achievement. Drawn from the work of many of the twentieth century's leading photographers - including Richard Avedon Cecil Beaton Eve Arnold Philippe Halsman Bert Stern and Milton Greene - the images chronicle Monroe's evolution from studio contract player to international phenomenon. Together they form one of the most important visual archives devoted to Marilyn Monroe ever issued in book form. This signed limited issue elegantly bound and preserved in its original clamshell case is among the most desirable presentations of Mailer's celebrated Monroe volume - a striking fusion of Hollywood glamour photographic history and American literary celebrity. Bricusse's own memoir provides an interesting parallel to the world represented here. In Pure Imagination he recalls Arthur P. Jacobs formerly Marilyn Monroe's press agent who later became a close professional associate and film producer; Jacobs's What a Way to Go! had originally been conceived as a vehicle for Monroe before her death. Bricusse also worked closely with George Axelrod screenwriter of The Seven Year Itch and Bus Stop two films central to the construction of Monroe's enduring screen image. Marilyn Monroe; born Norma Jeane Mortenson 1926-1962 was an American actress model and singer. Known for playing comic "blonde bombshell" characters she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s as well as an emblem of the era's sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for a decade and her films grossed $200 million equivalent to $2 billion in 2024 by the time of her death in 1962. Long after her death Monroe remains a pop culture icon. In 1999 the American Film Institute ranked her as the sixth-greatest female screen legend from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Nachem Malech Mailer 1923-2007 known by his pen name Norman Kingsley Mailer was an American novelist journalist playwright and filmmaker. In a career spanning over six decades Mailer had eleven best-selling books at least one in each of the seven decades after World War II. Mailer's 1973 biography of Monroe usually designated Marilyn: A Biography was not approached as a traditional biography. Mailer read the available biographies watched Monroe's films and looked at photographs of Monroe; for the rest of it Mailer stated "I speculated." A particularly handsome copy of the deluxe signed issue uniting Norman Mailer's celebrated meditation on Marilyn Monroe with Lawrence Schiller's photographic and editorial contribution - a lavish monument to Hollywood's most enduring icon.

1797réf. 1260411797. London: Printed for J. Bell 1797. 8vo 4 220 pp. Lacking front blank. Contemporary half calf gilt lettered label on backstrip skillfully rehinged; boards worn title page toned light stain in top margins but generally a sound copy with interesting marks of early provenance see below. § From the library of Lord Dunmore last royal governor of Virigina. A translation of Schiller's Cabale und Liebe by M.G. "Monk" Lewis the author of the Gothic novel The Monk published the year before. The front pastedown bears the ownership inscription of Lady Susan Thorpe dated 1797 her presentation inscription "Her gift to Lord Dunmore 1799" beneath and the Dunmore Library bookplate with shelf mark. The name "Susan" in the same hand appears again at the start of act one perhaps indicating Lady Thorpe read the part of Elizabeth Munster. Given the date of the gift it is most likely the recipient was John Murray 4th Earl of Dunmore the last royal governor of Virginia. Dunmore fled to New York after the burning of Norfolk in 1776. He was later Governor of the Bahamas but lost his post when his daughter eloped with the son of George III. By 1799 he was in retirement in England aged 69. He died in Ramsgate Kent in 1809. Lewis's advertisement for the play merits recording in full: "The following pages contain a Translation of Schiller's" Cabale und Liebe." A Play calling itself a Version of that admired Tragedy has already appeared in England but so extremely ill executed and in so mutilated a condition as to leave scarce a shadow of resemblance between the Original and the Copy. The Author has taken the liberty of omitting whole characters and scenes and in several places has thought proper to substitute his own sentiments for Schiller's; an alteration by which the Piece is very far from gaining. - Lest the present Translation should be mistaken for the former I have thought it right to change the Names both of the Characters and of the Play itself; in every other respect I have endeavoured to keep strictly to the Original: and when I offer my Translation to the Public it gives me some confidence to reflect that although this second attempt may be as bad as the first it is utterly impossible for it to be worse.
