Humboldt's Gift is a self-described "comic book about death" whose title character is modeled on the lyric poet Delmore Schwartz. Charlie Citrine an intellectual middle-aged author of award-winning biographies and plays contemplates two significant figures and philosophies in his life: Von Humboldt Fleisher a dead poet who had been his mentor and Rinaldo Cantabile a very-much-alive minor mafioso who has been the bane of Humboldt's existence. Humboldt had taught Charlie that art is powerful and that one should be true to one's creative spirit. Rinaldo Charlie's self-appointed financial adviser has always urged Charlie to use his art to turn a profit. At the novel's end Charlie has managed to set his own course. The Viking Press hardcover
1913ref. 150527London: John Richmond Ltd 1913. Presentation copy of Sassoon's pseudonymous parody inscribed to the distinguished antiquarian bookseller and scholar Percy Muir First edition first impression presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title: "P. H. Muir from Siegfried Sassoon 4.10.29"; one of 1000 copies printed highly uncommon in such condition. A pseudonymous parody of John Masefield's early narrative poems The Daffodil Murderer was published as the winner of the entirely fictional "Chantrey Prize" and wryly advertised as "Brilliant Beyond Belief" on the front wrapper. The recipient of this copy was Percy Muir 1894-1979 the distinguished antiquarian bookseller and scholar of children's books. Sassoon inscribed this copy to Muir in the year before Muir joined the London antiquarian booksellers Elkin Mathews Limited. Muir joined the firm in 1930 and remained with them until his death. Muir was president of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association from 1945-1947 and chaired the first conference of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers ILAB in 1947. He became president of the ILAB from 1950-1952 and was subsequently elected the first Life President of Honour. His major work English Children's Books was published in 1954. Sassoon's poem is frequently cited as a parody of John Masefield's long narrative poem The Everlasting Mercy published in 1911. Masefield's work was read in pubs denounced from pulpits and branded in the words of Lord Alfred Douglas "nine-tenths sheer filth". The original publishers were sufficiently worried about prosecution to leave blank spaces where Masefield had written the word "bloody" and it was later claimed by Robert Graves that Masefield's innovative diction emboldened Shaw to use the word in Pygmalion. J. M. Barrie called the work "the finest literature" Edmund Gosse noted that in it was "a happy blending of the traditional and the revolutionary" and Masefield was duly awarded the Royal Society of Literature's Edmond de Polignac prize for 1911. Masefield had hit a rich-seam in poetry and followed The Everlasting Mercy with The Widow in the Bye Street published in 1912 Dauber published in 1912 and The Daffodil Fields published in 1913. Sassoon appears to have been rather frustrated at literature's latest craze and he sat down to write his own version and created a parody of Masefield's general style diction and subjects across The Everlasting Mercy The Widow in the Bye Street and The Daffodil Fields. There were two results of Sassoon's parody. The first was that in many ways it had helped Sassoon find a poetic voice. In The Weald of Youth Sassoon describes how in December 1912 the thought struck him: "Why not amuse myself by scribbling a few pages of parody I may as well say at once that the immediate result was far beyond what I had intended. I began his story in crudest imitation of Masefield's manner. Stimulating my pencil with an occasional dose of The Everlasting Mercy I found myself corking down the 'human document' with astonishing facility. After the first fifty lines or so I dropped the pretence that I was improvising an exuberant skit. While continuing to burlesque Masefield for all I was worth I was really feeling what I wrote - and doing it not only with abundant delight but a sense of descriptive energy quite unlike anything I had experienced before. Never before had I been able to imbue commonplace details with warmth of poetic emotion. I felt that. I had found a new pair of poetic legs and the fact that they had been graciously presented to me by John Masefield made no difference to my sense of self-satisfaction". The other result of publishing The Daffodil Murderer was that it brought Sassoon to the attention of Edward Marsh - the editor of Georgian Poetry - and Marsh soon became Sassoon's mentor. Despite the parody Sassoon and Masefield met during November 1918. Masefield's Great War poem Reynard the Fox undoubtedly owes some inspiration from Sassoon Masefield advised Sassoon on a forthcoming lecture tour of the United States Masefield sent letters introducing Sassoon to some of his closest American friends Sassoon dedicated the American edition of Picture-Show to Masefield Sassoon was invited to one of Masefield's festivals of spoken poetry in 1930 and in 1957 Sassoon was the recipient of the Queen's Medal for Poetry an idea devised by Masefield.

1944ref. 157559New York: The Vanguard Press 1944. Sociology and poetry in Chicago First edition first printing of the author's first book inscribed by him on the front free endpaper "To Kurt & Carla Wolff affectionately Saul Bellow". One of the Wolffs has added "Chicago Ap 15 44" beneath Bellow's inscription and "Kurt & Karla Wolff Chicago Mr. 27 1944 H. Bookstore" above. This is an excellent association from Bellow to his friend and fellow writer the influential sociologist Kurt Wolff 1912-2003. They met in Chicago: Bellow was raised there and Wolff "had fallen in love with the region with the people and with the situation" quoted in Stehr while a research fellow at the Social Science Research Council in the early 1940s. Bellow wrote this book about a young Chicago man waiting to be drafted during his service with the merchant marine during the Second World War. Both Bellow and Wolff were significantly engaged in one another's disciplines: Bellow was a writer educated in sociology and Wolff a sociologist whose literary experiments Bellow encouraged. Bellow was a Canadian-born Lithuanian-Jew who had graduated from Northwestern University with an honours in anthropology and sociology the study of which had a marked influence on his literary style. Wolff was a Jewish German-born sociologist forced out of Germany by rising Naziism who recounted that "after a relatively short time in America I began to write literature in which the most important help I received was from Saul Bellow whom I got to know in Chicago in 1943". Wolff co-founded a short-lived poetic journal titled Experiment around this time and it was then that his central sociological ideas of surrender and catch "gave rise to a synthesis between sociology and poetry". He stated that "my method of imagination is neither sociological nor poetic but rather spontaneously phenomenological if I may call it that. That means the attempt to capture something as exactly as possible which is thus as you see connected to the art of poetry as much as to the appearance of nature but isn't one of the other: it's a third method". Both Wolff and Bellow shared this dedication to a "third method": in 1962 Bellow returned to Chicago as a professor on the Committee on Social Thought the goal of which was to develop multidisciplinary approaches to learning. He taught on the committee for more than 30 years. This is a significant association from the beginning of an intellectually fertile relationship. Octavo.

1913ref. 153720London: John Richmond Ltd 1913. His pseudonymous parody inscribed to Lady Ottoline Morrell First edition first impression presentation copy with a significant association inscribed by the author on the half-title: "To O.M. from 'S.K.'" Ottoline Morrell from Saul Kain. Perhaps the most important support that Lady Ottoline Morrell ever offered to a poet or artist was her friendship for Siegfried Sassoon during the First World War. She became aware of him when she read his poem "To Victory" in The Times on 15 January 1916 and traced him through Edmund Gosse. Like her he was an admirer of the Ballets Russes and she wrote of her pleasure at finding "in the dark prison-like days a sympathetic desire - to fly out beyond into the beauty and colour and freedom that one so longs for" Egremont p. 81. They continued to correspond frequently and Sassoon sent her his war poems as he wrote them in return for which she sent writings of her own. Morrell was of significant influence when Sassoon recuperated at the Morrells' country house Garsington Manor in spring 1917. Morrell's pacifism helped Sassoon's disillusionment with the war and shortly after his visit Sassoon published his infamous "Soldier's Declaration". This pseudonymous parody of John Masefield's early narrative poems was published as the winner of the fictional "Chantrey Prize" and wryly advertised as "Brilliant Beyond Belief" on the front wrapper. Masefield's narrative poem The Everlasting Mercy published in 1911 work was read in pubs denounced from pulpits and branded in the words of Lord Alfred Douglas "nine-tenths sheer filth".
