Hardcover. Condition: 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.
