A propos de cet article

STEEN, Marguerite. An impressive archive covering much of her literary career, most signed or inscribed association copies, with original photographs and typed letters signed. The archive includes her early work, Oakfield Plays (1932) which offers most of what remains of her early artistic career, and three of her four famed biographies—of Mary ’Perdita’ Robinson, of the Terry family of theatre fame, and of her lover, the artist William Nicholson. A Pride of Terrys (1962) also includes a signed photo-card of Ellen Terry, whom Steen befriended when pursuing a theatrical career. Terry, then in her twilight years, offered sage advice to Steen to pursue a writing career. She went on to write over thirty novels and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In Spain, Steen met the artist, William Nicholson, whom she was already infuatuated by. The pair struck up a romance which would last the rest of Nicholson’s life, from Spain and France and back to Oxfordshire. Steen’s important biography of Nicholson remains one of the finest portraits of the artist, and this copy is signed by both the author and her lover, probably uniquely so. Also included are excellent copies of her autobiographies, Looking Glass (1966) and Pier Glass (1968), both excellent portraits of both her own life and of the British art scene from the 20s through to the 60s. Both volumes are inscribed by Steen and loosely inserted are original photographs and negatives of Steen and the recipient, likely in Blewbury in Oxfordshire, where Steen and Nicholson moved to after the war. A typed copy of an address given at the requiem and funeral of Steen by Hugh Pickles, Vicar of Blewbury, is also included. Her two belles letres, Granada Window, a portrait of her life spent in Spain, and Little White King, a fond celebration of her cat, are also present, plus two of her mid-career novels published when Steen was very much a household name. There is also a postcard from Steen to the recipient detailing her trips across the UK to visit old friends and past acquaintances, in between her extensive travel across the continent. All in all, a fantastic portrait through ten books of the author, her career, and her many friendships with Ellen Terry, Edward Gordon Craig. William Nicholson, Hugh Walpole, and the wider artist and writer scene of the first half of the twentieth century in Britain and in Europe. Provenance: From the family of the recipient, long-time friend and eventual neighbour of Steen, Eileen Crowe, with most volumes very affectionately inscribed to her, as ‘Aunt Maggie’ often enough. A wonderful cache of ten books, details of each via the website.…
