Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Fine copy in dustwrapper. "Among nineteenth-century rogue antiquaries, William Stevenson Fitch (1792-1859) casts a long shadow. A lifelong and passionate connoisseur of Suffolciana, Fitch is today remembered for a handful of monographs and his valuable local history collections, some sixty volumes of which remain in the Suffolk Record Office. In this new study his darker side is for the first time addressed: Fitch was also a persistent and unrepentant thief of books, broadsides and manuscripts, who betrayed scholarly access and personal trust, enriching both his own shelves and those of other collectors at the expense of unwary custodians" (dustwrapper blurb).…

First edition, 8vo (220 x 140 mm), viii, 169pp., frontis., orig. printed wrappers. The dispersal of the Foley family library in October 1919 was notable for the richness of the books sold - and for the general inadequacy of the prices they fetched. Drawing on records kept by principal participants in the sale and in the four subsequent "knock-outs", the Freemans reveal the intricacies of a practice whose workings have not previously been subject to such detailed and informed scrutiny.…

octavo, cloth. First Edition. First Edition. octavo, cloth. 1,532pp. Yale University Press, John Payne Collier (1789-1883), one of the most controversial figures in the history of literary scholarship, pursued a double career. A prolific and highly influential writer on the drama, poetry, and popular prose of Shakespeare's age, Collier was at the same time the promulgator of a great body of forgeries and false evidence, seriously affecting the text and biography of Shakespeare and many others. This monumental two-volume work for the first time addresses the whole of Collier's activity, systematically sorting out his genuine achievements from his impostures. Arthur and Janet Freeman reassess the scholar-forger's long life, milieu, and relations with a large circle of associates and rivals while presenting a chronological bibliography of his extensive publications, all fully annotated with regard to their creditability. The authors also survey the broader history of literary forgery in Great Britain and consider why so talented a man not only yielded to its temptations but also persisted in it throughout his life. With 31 black and white illustrations. "In their definitive account of Collier's life, works, and his forgeries and fabrications, Arthur and Janet Ing Freeman have provided a splendid work of reference."-R.A. Foakes, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America. Very fine.…

Hardcover. Etat : New. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Royal 8vo (234 x 156 mm), pp. ix, [1 (blank)], 401 [1 (blank)]; with 7 black-and-white illustrations (including frontispiece); burgundy cloth, blocked in gold on spine, printed dust-jacket. Courtship, Slander, and Treason presents two independent but complementary studies of episodes in the career of Mary, Queen of Scots after her flight to England in 1568: her 'forbidden match' with the ranking English peer Thomas Howard, fourth Duke of Norfolk, in 1568 72, and her own trial, execution, and funeral in 1586 87. Not primarily intended as a retelling or latter-day reinterpretation of the fatal events Norfolk's execution in 1572 extinguishing the last dukedom of Queen Elizabeth's reign, and Mary's the stuff of romance, remonstrance, and furious debate over more than four centuries these essays are essentially historiographical, for the first time closely examining a range of contemporary printed and manuscript material. Some twenty-five texts are discussed in the first study; full bibliographical and contextual descriptions of the sixteen most significant are provided, incorporating corrections of traditional errors of attribution and dating, some of which have seriously distorted Marian scholarship. For the second study, more than sixty contemporary manuscript accounts of the events of 1586 87 were examined and analysed, with the aim of establishing proper family relationships amongst them and showing how later scholars have used these sources. Four textual appendices add full transcriptions of hitherto unpublished manuscript material, which may prove useful, or even essential to future Marian scholarship. Reviews:'The ground is well tilled: the stuff of centuries of "romance, remonstrance and debate". But this book approaches the whole subject from an entirely fresh angle, a historiographical study, for the first time closely examining the contemporary printed and manuscript material, and in the process overturning some assumptions of the standard reference works, such as the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and the ESTC. . [The] section on the Duke and Mary . includes full bibliographical and contextual descriptions of the sixteen most significant texts covering the lead up to, trial and execution of the Duke on 2 June 1576, . correct[ing] traditional errors of attribution and dating. The codicological study of Mary's trial and execution at Fotheringay, fourteen years later is equally fascinating, and is a cool exploration of the murky propaganda, recrimination, invective and practised deceit of Elizabethan pamphlet literature. Courtship, Slander and Treason is a fascinating piece of historiographical research, of use to general historians, and especially to those interested in bibliography and textual criticism.' (John Martin Robinson, The Book Collector)'An invaluable reference work for scholars and students in a range of disciplines. . Historians have long been using most of the texts under scrutiny in this book. The bibliographical and codicological expertise deployed here should help them to achieve greater accuracy in the future.' (Susan Doran, Reformation) 'Particularly in the exposition of authorship, [the authors] delineate and often refute attributions proposed by other scholars and canonized by the Revised Short Title Catalogue. . [As literary critics who] speak of texts scrutinized from different perspectives with measured judgements . [their] analysis has revealed much to this historian who has strip-mined some of these documents for information.' (Thomas M. McCoog, Catholic Historical Review)About the authors:Arthur Freeman is the author of a critical biography of the playwright Thomas Kyd, other studies of Elizabethan drama, poetry, and popular prose, short lives of Tudor and Stuart 'eccentrics, exploiters, rogues, and failures', and historical and descriptive accounts of literary forgery, as well as one pseudonymous biblio-romance, nine collections of verse, and some eighty critical and bibliographic.…
