A Short and Beautiful Life: The Books, Writers and Artists Who Made the Shakespeare Head Press - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
Few have heard of the Shakespeare Head Press, although it ranks alongside William Morris’s Kelmscott , Emery Walker and Cobden-Sanderson’s Doves, Eric Gill’s Golden Cockerel and St John Hornby’s Ashendene. Its origins date to the 1860s, when a young Arthur Henry Bullen, dreamt of printing the whole of Shakespeare. Making his dream a reality, Bullen founded his the press in 1904 in an old Tudor house, where Shakespeare would have been a guest.
There are many backstories associated with the SHP, and of the perennial dashed hopes of small presses’, which plagued Bullen. When the Press passed to Basil Blackwell (1921), Bullen’s mantle was assumed by the scholar-printer Bernard Newdigate. For twenty years, he produced a series of finely printed books, yet these were not commercially successful. Blackwell blamed the commodifi cation of literature, and the metamorphoses of books from handcraft ed works of art to manufactured objects.
This book reconstructs the lives of Bernard Newdigate and A.H. Bullen, and that of the SHP. For Sir Basil Blackwell, ‘the exact record of events was secondary to the universal truths it served to illustrate.’ And there is something remarkably contemporary about them

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Shakespeare Head Press, founded by Arthur Henry Bullen in 1904 in a Tudor house, aimed to print the complete works of the Bard but despite its ambition and the craftsmanship of Bernard Newdigate, who took over in 1921, the press struggled with commercial viability. Rita Ricketts explores the intertwined histories of Bullen, Newdigate and the press, reflecting on the challenges faced by small publishers. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 546925
