Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Fine condition 1st Edition/1st Printing hardcover in Very Good condition dust jacket. Book is virtually flawless. The inside front flap of the dust jacket has had the right 1/8" or so trimmed off (the price is still present) for some reason. The only other flaw is very light soiling. This book originally came as part of a set including an annotated version of the original "Enquiry". That volume is not present. "The book forgery of Thomas James Wise, disclosed in 1934 in John Carter and Graham Pollard's 'An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets' is perhaps the most notorious literary scandal of this century. Wise, a bibliographer and book collector with the highest international reputation, was revealed to be the perpetrator of a stream of forgeries of minor works by major nineteenth-century authors which had appeared on the market from the 1880s -- among them works by the Brownings, Swinburne, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Ruskin and Kipling. The sensational exposure of Wise led to further discoveries, most notably that he had acted not alone but in collusion with Harry Buxton Forman, the distinguished editor of Keats and Shelley. The extent of the crime was clearly wider and more complicated than had been supposed when the 'Enquiry' was first published. Carter and Pollard were steadily compiling matter for a new edition of the book right up to their deaths in the mid 1970s. Their material passed to Nicolas Barker, who with John Collins, undertook to complete the work. They in turn have discovered a mass of new facts. Type, paper and records of sales have produced new revelations: the forgeries are shown to have begun earlier than was suspected; the problems of Tennyson's 'The New Timon' and R.L. Stevenson's 'Ticonderoga' are solved; for the first time, an attempt to reconstruct the crime is made.' -- the publisher. We will pack the book in bubble-wrap and ship it in a sturdy box to ensure safe delivery. Seller Inventory # ABP22
