1957réf. PURCELLV001119Printed for private circulation at the Broadwater Press Welwyn Garden City. 1957. First edition. Octavo. pp vi 66. A satirical parody of T.S. Eliot by a Cambridge Sinologist. His pseudonym is an anagram and near homophone of ''my rebuttal''. Apparently printed in about 300 copies. Almost instant notoriety led to trade editions shortly after.Loosely inserted are three Autograph Letters Signed by Victor Purcell and on his headed writing paper dated 7 August 1957 20 March 1958 and 21 May 1958 the first to Miss Newland the others to Miss Newland Smith. The recipient was employed as a reader at the Broadwater Press and from the contents of the first letter was largely responsible for seeing the book through to production. The second letter mentions having received a letter to Myra from Sir Isaiah Berlin and the printing in the USA of an edition of 5000 copies. For the American edition Purcell admits to altering a certain unfortunate racial epithet which appears twice in the poem. In the last letter he talks of the recent appearance of the British trade edition and the expected reaction in the press and on TV. He also talks of having 'recently written and fantasy in dramatic form entitled ''Toynbee in Elysium''. The characters in order of appearance are Thucydides Gibbon Rhadamanthus Sellars the author of 1984 and So What! Spengler Toynbee Madame Blavatsky who claims that Toynbee is her reincarnation Chu Hsi of the Sung dynasty and Blaise Pascal. I have not yet decided how to bring it out.' In the event the book was issued in 1959. Also loosely inserted: a greetings card inscribed ''from Victor Purcell and Myra Buttle''; a poem ''Ode on a Chinese Vase - A Pastiche by Victor Purcell'' printed on a single sheet and inscribed ''To Miss M. Newland Smith with best wishes from Victor Purcell May 1959''; a sheet of typed extracts from reviews in the American press.Inserts: very good indeed.

Reynolds pinx.Cha Corbutt fecit./ Strive not TRAGEDY nor COMEDY to Engross a GARRICK who to your NOBLEST CHARACTER does EQUAL HONOUR./ Reddere Personae scit convenientia cuique./ Published by R.H.LAURIE; 53 Fleet Street and BOWLES & CARVER St. Pauls Church Yard London Price 6s.". In good condition apart from a small section of paper loss in the upper margin not extending into the image and two small skillfully mended tears on the bottom margin. Images size: 13 1/8 x 16 inches. One of the most famous portraits of the actor David Garrick by Sir Joshua Reynolds. David Garrick 1717-1779 was perhaps the most influential actor in the English theater. He successfully took on all aspects of theatrical production including actor manager playwright publicist and theatre advocate. He displayed an amazing range by convincingly playing parts in every genre from comedy to tragedy history to farce. From 1747 until his retirement in 1776 he was the manager of Drury Lane where he initiated many improvements: he introduced concealed stage lighting removed spectators from the stage and cultivated a naturalistic style of acting. Garrick was acutely conscious of the value of pictures as advertisements. He sat for every painter of note many of whom are now little more than names. He was painted in oils and in watercolours drawn in pencil and in pastels modelled in wax and in terracotta; his likeness even appeared on medals Wedgewood china and playing-cards. This portrait by his friend Reynolds demonstrates in a mildly humorous way the actor's talents and character; posed between Tragedy and Comedy Garrick is depicted the master of both. Garrick's broad smile and Tragedy's melodramatic stance note the dagger at her waist favor Comedy. Reynolds' painting was a huge public success and inspired many prints and paintings pirated prints of the image even made their way to the streets of Paris. The popularity of this image is a testimony to Garrick's fame and to Reynolds' talent.

1957réf. 276957Welwyn Garden City Herts: The Broadwater Press Limited 1957. Hardcover. Near Fine. First edition preceding the Sagamore trade edition. Octavo. Red cloth gilt without dustwrapper as issued. The gilt lettering is a bit faded a faint dampstain on the boards a very good copy. Complimentary slip from Myra Buttle laid in. A satire of T.S. Eliot printed for private circulation. Laid in is a one page Autograph Letter Signed to Buttle from English author and drama critic Charles Purdom in the year of publication whose arch tone sounds like he was in on the joke: "Dear Miss Buttle You were a very good girl to send me a copy of The Sweeniad & not at all an ordinary girl to have made so well deserved an examination of the great Sweeney. It is writing of himself at his best. Similar personal attention to his so-called plays would be much appreciated by me. He is the nothingness of our age great ability with waste of soul. Your book gave me great pleaseure. I hope you are sleeping well. Yours sincerely C.B. Purdom." Also laid in is a similarly arch two page Autograph Letter Signed from "Myra Buttle": in part "How very kind of you to write to me so encouragingly about The Sweeniad!. Perhaps one of these days I may have a bang at the so-called plays too. The Response I am getting is very heartening Bertrand Russell is enthusiastic. Graham Greene surprisingly enough sends me a post-card with 'Bravo' on it." Buttle goes on to reveal the answer to a riddle in the text. The Broadwater Press, Limited hardcover

Purcell began his musical career as a choirboy and remained a church musician throughout his life holding positions at Westminster Abbey as well as the Chapel Royal. Like John Blow he wrote four types of church music: services; anthems for full choir and organ or with short ensemble verse passages often called full with verse anthems; verse anthems for solo voices choir and organ; and 'symphony anthems' for solo voices choir strings and continuo which at first were performed exclusively in the royal presence though several later circulated more widely in versions with organ accompaniment only."
