1923Best.-Nr. ST21078Chelsea: Ashendene Press 1923. ST JOHN HORNBY'S WORKSHOP COPY there were 180 paper copies 150 of them for sale and 12 vellum copies of this edition. 440 x 307 mm. 17 1/4 x 12". 2 p.l. 406 2 pp. Original holland-backed blue paper boards flat spine with paper title label identifying this as a workshop copy. Housed in a fine modern drop-back box of blue cloth backed with holland paper labels on spine. Printer's device in colophon. Printed in red black and blue. Front pastedown with bookplate of St John Hornby and ex-libris of David Godine. Hornby 32; Franklin pp. 144-46 240-41. Covers with fading along the top a bit of foxing and extensive though light gray discoloration ends of spine lightly bumped and lower edges of bottom corners slightly rubbed both as expected but the volume completely solid and miles away from what one would imagine for a hefty book like this that would have been expected to incur uncareful use. Isolated very pale foxing and the most trivial signs of use internally. A REMARKABLE COPY the text in beautiful condition soundly protected in its unique binding. With its companion volume "Minor Poems" by Spenser this in Franklin's eyes is the "masterpiece" among the Ashendene folios; and the present distinctive--and presumably unique--copy comes from Charles Harry St John Hornby's own printer's workshop. Unlike most other copies which are typically found in the publisher's calf-backed vellum binding this copy is in the inexpensive and less substantial holland-backed boards that are now less and less commonly seen in large part because they have not stood up well over the years. The present copy somehow has done quite the opposite. In addition to the original Ashendene "Workshop Copy" designation on the spine label scattered finger smudges--perhaps those of Hornby himself--suggest its use in the printer's studio. In our experience this particular designation is extremely rare in connection with private press books in general and certainly for Ashendene volumes. Founded in 1895 by Hornby 1867-1946 the Ashendene Press issued 40 books plus additional minor pieces for four decades. Less elaborate in appearance and design than William Morris' Kelmscott volumes but more ornamental than the products of Cobden-Sanderson's Doves Press the Ashendene volumes have long been considered the most satisfying of English private press books. This volume was formerly in the collection of David R. Godine who founded the Godine Press in 1970 after training with printmaker Leonard Baskin and master printer Harold McGrath.

TRULY FINE COPIES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PRINTING OF SPENSER'S FAIRIE QUEENE ONE OF THE GREATEST WORKS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Edmund Spenser stands with William Shakespeare and John Milton in the history of English poetry and litereature. He is recognized as one of the premier craftsmen of modern English verse from its infancy and one of the greatest poets in the language. Spenser was known to his contemporaries as "the prince of poets” and was said by them to be "as great in English as Virgil in Latin”. He was greatly preferred over Shakespeare by Queen Elizabeth and many others of the day. He left behind his masterful essays in every genre of poetry from pastoral and elegy to epithalamion and epic. A century later John Milton would call Spenser "a better teacher than Aquinas” and was greatly influenced by him. Since then generations of readers have admired his subtle use of language his imagination his immense classical and religious learning and "his unerring ability to synthesize and ultimately to delight”. THE FAERIE QUEEN is Spenser’s best known work and arguably his best. It is especially notable for its form: it was the first work written in what is now called Spenserian stanza and is also one of the longest poems in the English language. An allegorical work written in praise of Queen Elizabeth I it is largely symbolic the poem follows several knights in an examination of several virtues. It found not surprisingly great political favour with Elizabeth I and was such a public success that it quickly became Spenser's defining work. The last six books of the twelve Spenser intended were never written though two cantos noted as the Seventh and Eighth Bookes appear here. for J. Brindley, in New Bond-Street and S.
