Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. First. First editions, first state. London: Printed by M[iles] F[lesher] for Iohn Marriot, 1633 (Poems); London: Printed by E[lizabeth] P[urslowe] for Henry Seyle, 1633. Quarto (7 5/16", 5 3/16", 186mm x 133mm). [Full collation available.] Complete with all blanks. Bound in later (XIXc?) brown calf, with a triple blind gilt fillet border surrounding a blind roll on the boards. On the spine, four raised bands with a blind roll. Blind ornaments in the panels. Title gilt to brown calf label in the second panel. Imprint gilt to lower panel. Dashed gilt roll toward the corners of the edges of the boards. Blind roll inside dentelle. Brown end-papers. All edges of the text-block red. Presented in a brown calf solander box by Riviere & Son. Front board starting at the upper edge. Some rubbing at the extremities. Very good margins (20mm and more), and a very little foxing. With a XIXc armorial bookplate of Smith of Exeter (sable, a fess cotised between three martlets or; crest: a greyhound sejant collared) on the front paste-down. On A1r of the Poems an ownership inscription of Gilberd Spencer in a XVIIc hand. On the upper edge of the title-page of the Poems an ownership inscription of Ric[hard] Shuttleworth in an XVIIIc hand. Passim, but especially pp. 326-352 of the Poems (satyres and letters), substantial marginal commentary and emendation in a XVIIc hand. This is the chief collection of Donne's poetry, much of which was either unpublished or circulated privately (often in manuscript) while he lived. After his death in 1631, the publication of his poems (as well as the first appearance of several elegies written by Izaak Walton and others) did a little to elevate his stature in the English pantheon. It would not be till the end of the seventeenth and into the eighteenth century that he would be given the place of esteem he now holds among English poets. The first edition is quite rare, and even rarer still is the first state of the Poems, with N1r altered to omit the headline to accommodate the thirty-five lines of verse. There is an additional leaf sometimes inserted in the first gathering - apparently a later addition - that is not present. The rarity and importance of the work is augmented in the present copy by its rich set of provenance and annotations. In reverse, the engraved armorial bookplate of the Smith family of Exeter cannot be placed exactly but appears to be late XVIIIc or early XIXc in its style. The Shuttleworth of the title-page (an ink-splotch obscures whether he is Ric[hard] or Rev[erend] Shuttleworth) has indicated his college; Alumni Oxonienses records only one Shuttleworth at Lincoln, Richard Shuttleworth of Durham, matriculated 1749 at the age of 17 and died in 1797. Mr. Shuttleworth seems to have given the surname of the author on the title-page. The earliest marks of ownership (on the basis of the hand) seem to be those of Gilberd (Gilbert) Spencer on the initial blank, who writes the following ditty: "Liber est meus/ Testus [sic] est Deus" (the book is mine, God is the witness (or, in better verse, the proof divine)). The hand is certainly rather more florid than that of the annotator, and may well be earlier, but it is an appealing connection. A lengthy reminiscence about the Drury family and Lord Theophilus Walden "At Padoa in Italy some 45 years agoe." (p. 351) places the annotation in the 1640's or 1650's, since Lord Walden was abroad in Italy 1603-1605. This is all against a letter to Hen. Goodeere, and the annotator writes above "My Lady Nethersole's father." The familiarity with the movements of these intimates of Donne's suggests that the annotator was himself at least at the periphery of Donne's circle. The emendations, which are quite subtle and sound, also suggest that he had access to manuscript versions of the poems. In all, a volume redolent of Donne.

Erstausgabe
First edition of Donne's collected poems, issued two years after his death. This posthumous collection represents the first printing of some of the greatest poems in the English language, including "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning", "The Good Morrow", "The Sunne Rising", and "The Flea". It is here bound in contemporary calf with the second edition of his Paradoxes and Problems, published the same year as the first. Though his poems were widely circulated in manuscript in his time, Donne rarely published them in print, and regretted the few small pieces he did: "the fault that I acknowledge in my self, is to have descended to print any thing in verse" (Donne, Letters to Severall Persons of Honour). Donne wrote most of his poems in the late 16th century when he was in his twenties; in his later years, as Dean of St Paul's, he was anxious to emphasize that those early works were "written by Jack Donne, not by Dr. Donne" (ibid.), the youthful libertine, rather than the mature divine. Despite Donne's own reported attempts to destroy his work, the poems were, in Isaak Walton's phrase, "scattered loosely (God knows too loosely)", and after his death the surviving manuscript copies of his work provided the basis for this edition, for which the original compiler made use of more than one group of scribal copies. The 1633 edition remains "the best text" of the poems, and "has more authority than any other in print" (Keynes). Notably absent is Donne's more explicitly erotic elegy "To His Mistress Going to Bed", which the licenser refused to include, and which was not printed until 1669. The book closes by printing a clutch of Donne's letters along with a group of elegies by, among others, Izaak Walton, Henry King and, most notably, Thomas Carew; the latter's contribution to the volume is "considered by many to remain the finest example of literary criticism in verse, imitating Donne's style in order to encapsulate and celebrate his achievement" (ODNB). This copy has the leaf Nn1 (page 273) in the uncorrected state, with 35 lines of text instead of 30 or 31 and with the omission of the usual running headline. It is bound without the two preliminary leaves "The Printer to the Understanders" and the publisher John Marriot's "Hexastichon Bibliopolae", which were "inserted only in a portion of the edition" (Keynes). Several lines on pages 330-31 and 341 are left blank, as usual. Donne's bibliographer Geoffrey Keynes concludes that various corrections in the text do not differentiate earlier and later states, but occurred "by chance" in the preparation of the text. The present copy is bound with the suitably contemporary edition of Paradoxes and Problems - re-titled Juvenilia and published the same year as the first - displays of wit which were not published during Donne's lifetime. ESTC S121864; Grolier, Langland to Wither, 286; Hayward 54; Keynes 78; Pforzheimer 296. Small quarto (192 x 142 mm). Contemporary calf, sympathetically rebacked, recornered, and relined, red morocco label, spine ruled in blind and gilt, twin blind rule to covers, board edges rolled in gilt, red edges. Housed in a custom brown quarter morocco folding box. Woodcut printer's device to title page of Paradoxes and Problems, woodcut head- and tailpieces and initial letters throughout. Occasional faint damp stains to lower margins, discreet repair to upper outer corner of final leaf, contents otherwise remarkably fresh. An attractive, well-margined copy.

Full Description: DONNE, John. Poems, By J.D. With Elegies on the Authors Death. London: M.F. [Miles Fletcher] for John Marriot, 1633. [BOUND WITH]: Juvenilia, or Certaine Paradoxes and Problemes. London: E.P. [Elizabeth Purslowe] for Henry Seyle, 1633. First edition of the collected poems of the greatest of the metaphysical poets, bound with a first edition of his "perfectly impudent" Juvenilia. Small quarto (7 1/8 x 5 1/8 inches; 180 x 130 mm). [10], 406, [2, blank]; 62 pp. Both volumes bound without A1 blanks, but Poems retains the final blank. Poems with the first state of leaf Nni, (pg 273) with no running title and 35 lines of text. Several lines in the Satyres on pages 330, 331 and 341, originally containing lines offensive to the king and church, are left blank. In Juvenilia, the license granted by Herbert printed twice (leaf F1v and H4v). Woodcut printer's device on title, woodcut and typographic head- and tailpieces, and woodcut initials. Contemporary calf, rebacked, with original spine laid down. Spine stamped in gilt. Red morocco spine label, lettered in gilt. Some chipping and scuffing to boards. Some pale dampstaining to title and preliminaries in Poems. Poems with some very small marginal discoloration to the edges of leaves from signature Ccc to the end of the work, not affecting text. Overall a very good copy of this most desirable literary landmark. This first edition of the Poems was based on manuscripts derived from the author's papers and provided the best 17th-century text of Donne's verses. Although his poetry was circulated in small bundles of manuscript copies among the cultured circles of Elizabethan and Jacobean society, Donne deliberately kept most of it out of print, fearing to tarnish his reputation in the religious establishment. Thus, almost none of his poetry appeared in print during his lifetime. "The first editors of Donne's poetry divided his work into about a dozen groupings. The Songs and Sonnets which open the volume are generally amorous in theme; the Divine Poems, which close it, are described in their title. Early scholars took for granted that all the bawdy, cynical and lecherous poems were written by young Jack Donne, while all the somber, penitent, devotional poems were written by the godly divine. The more we learn about the matter, the less this easy division seems to stand up. The poetry of Donne represents a sharp break with that written by his predecessors and most of his contemporaries. Whether he writes of love or devotion, Donne's particular blend of wit and seriousness, of intense feeling, darting thought, and vast erudition, creates a fascination quite beyond the reach of easier styles and less strenuous minds" (Adams). "With Donne begins a new era in the history of the English love lyric. The spirit of his best love poetry passed into the most interesting of his elegies and his religious verses, the influence of which was. perhaps even greater, than that of his songs" (Rosenbach 30:127). The Juvenilia consist of "bits of logical horseplay, loaded with legal aphorisms perversely applied, and perfectly impudent in their cheerful, brassy assurance"' (Adams). "Owing to their rather free nature they could not be published during Donne's lifetime" (Keynes, 93). Keynes 78, 43. STC 7045, 7043. Grolier 100 25. Pforzheimer 296. Hayward 54. HBS 68863. $55,000.
Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 5th or later Edition. Printed for John Marriot, and are to be sold by Richard Marriot at his shop by Chancery lane end over against the Inner Temple gate, London:, 1650. 14.2 x 9 cm. Octavo: [8], 392, [32] p. A4, B-Z8, Aa8, (aa)8, (bb)4, Bb-Cc8. Early edition of this master work, with the portrait frontispiece. Very good condition, rebound in 17th or 18th Century leather. Housed in a custom-made collector's slipcase. Few of Donne's best known poems were published during his lifetime, though handwritten copies of most of them were circulated through literary circles. Part of the secrecy was due to a fear of prosecution for blasphemy -- Donne crossed boundaries between the religious and the erotic. Book is very good, housed in a custom-made collector's slipcase.
