First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition (stated). Orig. black cloth with gilt titles. Large 8vo. About fine copy, lacking dust jacket (photocopies of the panels of the dust jacket are included). Illustrated. Enthralling true-crime reading. Wise, who was both a real bibliophile and a master con man, sold the American millionaire John Henry Wrenn dozens of his forgeries of nineteenth-century English authors. The record of his dealings preserved in this correspondence shows how the web was spun. Wise would, for example, describe one of his forgeries, always in suspiciously fine condition, as "dust-soiled and cleaned" for effect. He further romanced his wares by laundering them through auction and providing them with imaginary provenances.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. GONDAL'S QUEEN, A NOVEL IN VERSE, Emily Jane Bronte, arranged by Fannie E. Ratchford, softcover, stated first paperback printing, 1977. BOOK CONDITION: good. The text block is in fine condition with no marks, tears, or dog ears. There is no bookplate but the name of the prior owner is embossed on the frontispiece. Not a library book nor a remainder, but the word ?confidential? has been stamped on the bottom-edge. The brown wraps are in fair condition (blue sticker on front cover, some worn spots on both covers, and some rubbed spots on the spine). Tight binding. 9 x 6, 207 pages, 13 ounces. XX [From Amazon] In GONDAL?S QUEEN, Fannie Elizabeth Ratchford presents a cycle of eighty-four poems by Emily Jane Brontë, for the first time arranged in logical sequence, to re-create the ?novel in verse? which Emily wrote about their beloved mystical kingdom of Gondal and its ruler, Augusta Geraldine Almeda, who brought tragedy to those who loved her. Thanks to previous publications by Ratchford, the imaginative world of Gondal is well known not only to Brontë scholars but also to general readers. Only in the present book, however, with Emily?s lovely poems restored to the setting which gave them being, can the full impact of this extraordinary literary creation be realized. The life story of Gondal?s Queen, from portentous birth to tragic death, is set in a world compounded of dark Gothic romance and Byronic extravagance; yet out of it emerges not only a real country of wild moor sheep and piercingly beautiful nights but also the portrait of a real woman, whose doom was wrought not by the stars but by the clashing complications of her own nature. In A.G.A. (the appellation most usually applied to the Queen), Emily Brontë created a personality, not a puppet reciting lovely lines. And Ratchford, in reconstructing her story, has re-affirmed the dignity, beauty, and richness of Emily?s poetry. GONDAL?S QUEEN is the end of a long trail of research and literary detection which has led Ratchford to all known Brontë documentary sources. This quest was originally stimulated by curiosity over a tiny booklet signed, ?C. Brontë, June 29th, 1837,? in the Wrenn Library at the University of Texas at Austin. Ratchford?s intense and astonishingly fruitful interest in the Brontës had its origin in her attempt to unravel the fascinating puzzle presented by this little book, which seemed to be merely a series of childish vignettes held together by ?a shadow of a common character? and a ?tendency toward a unified plot.? Bit by bit, Ratchford assembled clues from manuscripts and obscure publications until the significance of the play world of the Brontë children began to emerge. In spite of the fact that the Brontës had been the subject of the liveliest literary speculation since their deaths, it remained for Ratchford to establish the importance of their juvenile writings to the later writings of Charlotte.
