John Clare in Context

ref. 27962-Cambridge University Press 1994-. First edition 1994. xv313 pages with index. Cloth. Very good indeed in dustjacket with some small damage to the rear tail edge. The marginalisation of John Clare despite renewed interest in Romanticism and the literature of madness is still an enigma. Perhaps more than any other poet of the period Clare has never found the contexts in which his poetry can be read. This important collection of new critical essays locates Clare's work from diverse points of view identifying the obstacles to his reception as a major poet. It includes chapters on landscape and botany Clare's politics his madness Clare and the critics and a remarkable essay by Seamus Heaney on Clare's importance as a poetic precursor. This volume will be a landmark in the history of his reception revealing the ways in which an appreciation of this unique poet revises the canon of Romantic and Victorian literature.

FIRST EDITION quarto issue with the etchings printed directly above the text. 257 x 205 mm. 10 1/8 x 8 1/8". iv 27 1 pp. 25 leaves; 11 1 pp. 25 leaves. Two parts bound in one volume.

WITH A FINE BRIGHTLY COLORED FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF THE CRAIGMILLAR CASTLE RUINS WITH EDINBURGH IN THE DISTANCE. WITH 50 ENGRAVED VIGNETTES 60 x 85 mm. of the ruins of Scottish castles and abbeys. A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Christopher Turnor Stoke Rochford Library. Lowndes 370; ESTC T153718 but with a variant title page. Front cover with a couple small areas of lost patina from insect activity rear cover just slightly marked upper corners a bit bumped faint freckled foxing in the margins more noticeable on the first two leaves slight offsetting of engravings on facing blank versos. A few condition issues but still a very attractive book the lovely binding retaining virtually all of its antique appeal and the contents with nothing approaching a significant problem. This is an excellent atypically large example of an Edwards of Halifax binding enhanced with a most appealing early fore-edge painting depicting one of the castles pictured in this attractive quarto edition. Scottish surgeon and antiquary Adam de Cardonnel 1746/7 - 1820 wrote and illustrated the present work "to preserve from oblivion the ancient remains of Caledonian splendour." Originally intended as a supplement to the popular "Pennant's Tour" of Scotland it appeared in four parts the first two in 1788 in a few different forms including an octavo edition and the second two published in 1793. The fore-edge painting features Craigmillar castle a Medieval fortress located a few miles from Edinburgh whose most famous guest was Mary Queen of Scots. One of her stays resulted in the so-called "Craigmillar bond" which set in motion plans to dispatch Mary's husband Henry Stuart. By the late 18th century the castle had fallen into disrepair and it appears in the present painting as an idyllic ruin with sheep and cows grazing in the fore-ground and the city with Edinburgh Castle rising in the distance. The Edwards of Halifax bindery was founded by William Edwards 1723-1808 and continued by several of his brothers half-brothers and sons by far the most important of the sons being Thomas who lived from 1762-1834. This famous firm produced a number of important innovations in binding design the most significant being the idea of concealing a painting under the gilt of the fore edge. This hidden treasure could be revealed once the edge was fanned out as a special surprise element of the volumes the Edwards firm bound--typically in Etruscan calf as here or in their patented transparent vellum. Although bindings produced by the Edwards workshop are almost never signed the present item is surely Edwards' work as indicated by the characteristic binding style and by the fact that our volume was actually sold by the Edwards firm. As usual there is no clear way to assign a precise date to the painting; while it is not done in the soft grays that can be firmly associated with the earliest Edwards examples it clearly is a painting done before 1850. While fore-edge paintings likely produced at the Edwards bindery and especially produced by their imitators appear in the marketplace with some regularity most offered are octavo or duodecimo in size. Of the fore-edge paintings attributed to Edwards of Halifax that have appeared in RBH over the past 65 years fewer than one in 10 were on quarto volumes. This copy was previously owned by the MP Christopher Turnor 1809-86 a member of the House of Commons and owner of more than 20000 acres in Linconshire where he built the grand Stoke Rochford Hall. Printed for the Author, and sold by Edwards, in Pall Mall; Also by Edwards's, in Halifax unknown

With frontispiece of a gentleman bowing courteously to a lady. A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with bookplate of Philip Shirley. Heltzel Newbury Library Courtesy Books 1135; Lowndes III 1842. A little wear to joints and extremities well hidden by refurbishment a few superficial marks to covers otherwise a perfectly sound and not unattractive binding. Offsetting from frontispiece onto title a few other imperfections in the text small spots short tear to one leaf otherwise a nearly fine copy internally with thick paper that is fresh and clean with deep impressions of the type and with vast margins. This is a very pleasing copy of a work consisting of 15 chapters containing a great many admonitions relating to what is proper with regard to clothing walking and travelling visits gratitude salutations speech writing eating and drinking "marriage and uncleanness" plays and recreations acts of justice observation of the Lord's Day "carriage in the Church" gift giving and commerce. As the 1835 preface tells us "Petrie who has been facetiously called the Scottish Chesterfield is generally understood to have begun life as a domestic tutor in the family of Sinclair of Stevenstoun and to have ended it as a parish schoolmaster in East Lothian. His 'Rules of Good Deportment' may be taken as the result of his artless observations upon the manners of a class of society to which he was probably admitted only as a humble spectator. From the manifest sincerity however of his delineations of 'Good Breeding' and the graphic character of many of his scenes it may fairly be presumed that they were painted from nature--and they present probably less of a caricature of Scottish manners early in the 18th century than might at first be imagined." It is known that Scott had begun but did not finish the project of reprinting this work for the Bannatyne Club and the frontispiece prepared for that edition is used here. Both the first edition of 1720 and this 1835 reprint are infrequently encountered on the market. unknown
