A propos de cet article

Limited Edition, First Thus. Hardcover. "Here, where the world is quiet; / Here, where all trouble seems / Dead winds' and spent waves' riot / In doubtful dreams of dreams." Consider this 1919 luxurious limited edition your invitation to "The Garden of Proserpine" and beyond, through the poetry of Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909). Quarter-bound in vellum and decorated in a gilt-stamped pinecone motif, this is number 388 out of an edition limited to 525 printed at The Complete Press of West Norwood, London for publisher William Heinemann. In turns both scandalous and celebrated during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras, in his Pre-Raphaelite verse, Swinburne explored provocative subjects: anti-theism in "Hymn to Proserpine," queer desire in "Sapphics" and "Erotion," sadomasochism in "Dolores," suicide in "The Triumph of Time," all of which are included here. Swinburne's queer, subversive, and sonically disarming verse continues to inspire over a century later, as the quoting of the following verse, also from "The Garden of Proserpine," in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (and the sick tattoos of a super cute bookseller at a Half Price in Kentucky) attests: "From too much love of living, / From hope and fear set free, / We thank with brief thanksgiving / Whatever gods may be / That no life lives forever; / That dead men rise up never; / That even the weariest river / Winds somewhere safe to sea." 9 1/8" X 6 1/8". ix, 288pp. Edition limited to 525 numbered copies, this being number 388. Quarter-bound in vellum with cream paper over boards, with both upper board and spine titled in gilt with gilt pinecone decoration, gilt top-edge, and bound-in cream satin ribbon placemarker. Mild wear to binding, with surface soiling and scuffing and corners split. A hint of spine at center of text block; binding remains firm, square, and sound. Light foxing and toning at preliminary pages, else clean and unmarked. Title page in green and black. Bookseller's ticket of McDevitt-Wilson's Books, Inc. of New York to rear pastedown.…

Description de la boutique

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.…
