Decorative Cloth. Zustand: Very Good ++. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good++. 1st Edition. 1st Edition 1967. The dedication copy. Presentation inscription and postcard from his friend the author to Edgell Rickword. From the library of John Edgell Rickword, his wife Beatrix and finally by decent to their daughter Dr Jane Gru…bb. Small bookplate detailing the provenance attached to each volume. Most of the his books went to institutions after his death so this book is rare thus. John Edgell Rickword, MC 1898-1982 was an English poet, critic, journalist and literary editor. He became one of the leading communist intellectuals active in the 1930s. After joining the army he saw front-line action in France as a subaltern in the Royal Berkshire Regiment. He was wounded twice—losing the sight of one eye—and he won the Military Cross for distinguished service. After the armistice Rickword was invalided out of the army. The following year he went up to Pembroke College, Oxford, to read French literature. His first collection of verse, Behind the Eyes (1921), contains similar styles poetry to be found in Sassoon's war verse. Additionally, these poems, including the much-anthologized "Trench Poets," "Winter Warfare," and "The Soldier addresses his Body," were part of Rickword's already distinctive style. In the 1930's he took up literary work in London. He reviewed for the Times Literary Supplement, which led to his celebrated review of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. He joined the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1934, and became increasingly active in political work during the period of the Spanish Civil War; while still writing poetry. During the second world war years Rickword wrote some superb social and literary criticism, including studies of the war poets of World War I, John Milton, and English radical thinkers of the 19th century. By the end of the war he become editor of Our Time, a literary review that tried to create bridges between the arts and common people. After this he became Editor of Our Time, the Communist review, from 1944 to 1947, working with David Holbrook. Rickword had an upbeat view at the time on the possibilities of popular culture and radical politics, and the circulation rose as he broadened the publication's scope from popular political poetry. Rickword's eyesight failed completely in his last years, though he was working on his memoirs up to his death. He died on March 15, 1982. Rickword's actual contribution to the development of English poetry is undervalued even now, in spite of the fact that several selections from and collections of his poems have appeared at regular intervals since the end of World War II.The reputation of Rickword as a poet has been overshadowed to some extent by his better-known achievements as critic and editor. And yet Rickword the poet—as much as Rickword the brilliant literary and social critic or Rickword the outstanding editor—has been one of the models of creative intelligence in British culture since the end of World War I. Rickword's work stands foursquare in English tradition, but it is in that tradition revolutionized by the same shaping forces of modernism that transformed Eliot's poetry. Rickword, with an intelligence and sensibility fully responsive to both French poetry and to English, opened up new paths for English poetry during the decade after World War I. According to Rickword, "to himself the poet should be in the first place a man, not an author." He certainly followed his own advice. As David Holbrook wrote (about Rickword's most caustic poetry of the late 1920s): "It strikes home, because underlying it is the tragic acceptance of man's situation, and the governed urbanity, civilisation and joy of a sensitive, responsible poet." The bulk of Edgells's archive resides at Manchester University library but the main part of the collection which was deposited by his friend David Holbrook is at Downing College Cambridge Archive. Book is very good++ and bright. Contents good. Wrapper is very good++ and bright. Light age toning. Ref16865. Signed by Author(s).

Hard Cover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition Thus. 4to; (12), 335 (1 errata) pp pages; Mid-eighteenth century sprinkled brown calf, raised bands and decorative gilt stamped decoration in spine panels with red title label, edges of the text block stained red. The dedication copy of the Latin edition of Dr. John Arbuthnot's last…book -- [An essay concerning the effects of air on human bodies, London, printed for J. Tonson in the Strand, 1733]. With the bookplate of the dedicatee of this 1753 first Latin edition -- Niccolà Fraggianni. A full page engraved portrait of Fraggianni is included facing the text of the dedication of this edition to him. The binding displays some insect damage along portions of the outer gutter margins, and at the red leather titling slip on the spine. Internally, there is some minor damage, which gets progressively less apparent, to the front endpapers, the half title and title page. At the rear, there is similar damage to the endpapers, but just a tiny hole in the gutter margin of the errata leaf. There is also a modest damp tide mark to the blank bottom margins of the final twenty pages. Dr. Arbuthnot was born in Scotland and in early life, by training and habit of mind, thought of himself as a mathematician. He came to London in 1691, the year his father, a non-conforming Scottish minister, had died. In London the following year, Arbuthnot published 'Of the Laws of Chance' -- more or less a translation from the Latin text of Christiaan Huygens's 'De ratiociniis in ludo aleae.' This is widely thought to have been the first work on probability published in English. Arbuthnot became the tutor to a well-born son of a member of Parliament, follwed his charge to Oxford where he met many eminent figures of the time -- including Isaac Newton and Samuel Pepys. Arbuthnot felt that he would benefit in life by the formal possession of an advanced degree, but did not have the necessary financial backing to spend years as a student. Thus impelled by circumstances, he set what I believe must be an all-time speed record for obtaining an earned doctoral degree. He returned to his native Scotland, entrolled as a doctoral student in medicine at the University of St. Andrews on 11 September 1696. On that busy day, Arbuthnot defended seven theses dealing with medical subjects -- and was awarded his doctorate before that same day had come to a close. Arbuthnot used this new medical degree along with what must have been a vast repertoire of conversation and helpful advice to take advantage of a chance meeting to become physician to Prince George, and then to his wife, Queen Anne. For ten years he moved in higher and higher circles, eventually becoming a member of the Royal household. And even after Queen Anne died without arranging for the continuing support of Dr. Arbuthnot and her other inner staff, he never strayed far from the various London circles of power and high achievement. Today, he is probably best remembered as a founder of the "Scriblerus Club" -- with his friends Pope, Gay, Swift, Thomas Parnell, Harley and Bolingbroke. Because Arbuthnot became famous among these friends for ducking credit as author of a number of poems and satires and his numerous contributions to the works of others. Certainly, few would dispute that Arbuthnot had a major influence on Swift's "Gulliver's Travels -- which he saw in various manuscript drafts -- during which he almost certainly influenced its satirical portrayal of the Royal Society (the real version of which Arbuthnot had been made a member in 1704). The traditional notion is that this book was not particularly important in the history of medicine since, while the idea of "fresh air" is both pleasant and beneficial -- the air could hardly manage to carry pathogens responsible for spreading major disease. When Fielding Garrison wrote his pioneering American history of medicine in 1913, he mentions Dr. John Arbuthnot in his survey of the English Eighteenth century, and treats him as the creator of "John Bull" -- friend to Swif.

19,5 : 14 cm. 191 pages. Original wrappers. Edition original. - With a fine, five-line dedication on the pre-title, signed by Antonin Artaud "à Therese Drogoul avec ma grande amitié parcequ'elle connait le monde da la Magie des Reflets". Therese Drogoul was a writer, poet and translator under the pseudonym of Thérése Aubray (bor…n Thérése Gros - Marseille 188 - 1974 Boulogne-Billancourt)) and was married to the musician Fernand Drogoul. She belonged to the first circle of the journal 'Lés Cahiers du Sud', managed by her friend Jean Ballard, from 1931 on she was correspondent in Paris for the journal. Together with her husband she had a literary Salon where many poets and artists like Antonin Artaud, Jean and Ida Cassou, Leon-Paul Fargue, Benjamin Fondane, André Masson, Henri de Régnier and others, met. - Avant-garde artist Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) is celebrated for his raw, surreal, and transgressive work, including Héliogabale his portrayal of Elagabalus, the Roman emperor from 218 to 222, as a dark hero, born into depravity and condemned by society. The book delves into the clash between Greco-Latin culture and Barbarism, capturing the extremes of human experience. Through Héliogabale, Artaud explores themes of societal collapse, collision of civilizations, and the descent into madness. Renowned French writer J.M.G. Le Clézio has described Héliogabale as the most violent book in contemporary literature [exuding] a beautiful and regenerating violence (transl.). - Paper as always a bit browned.
