Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Breton's late treatise on magic and art appears for the first time in English, complete with citations, commentaries and a bibliographyWhat is "Magic Art"? In 1953, Andre Breton, founder of the Surrealist movement, was invited by a prestigious French publisher to explore answers to this question. His resulting analysis is wide-ranging and evocative. Beginning with a literary review of magic and art, Breton draws upon Novalis and Baudelaire before considering the prehistoric rock art of Spain and France, the native art of the Pacific Northwest, the magical grimoires and alchemical symbolism of the Middle Ages, and the work of Hieronymus Bosch, Antoine Caron, Paolo Uccello, Gustav Moreau, Paul Gauguin and the Surrealists. Through these and other diverse sources, Breton traces a mystery that lies at the heart of our timeless fascination with otherness and seeks to place Surrealism as a successor to a magical sensibility that began with art itself.First published in 1957 as L'Art magique, this important text is offered here as an English translation for the first time. Working from manuscript notes for the original project, this edition presents the iconographic content as Breton intended, together with more than 300 new citations and a comprehensive bibliography that emphasizes sources found in Breton's own library.Andre Breton (1896-1966) was one of the founders and most controversial exponents of Surrealism, defining the movement in his first Surrealist Manifesto as "pure psychic automatism." Fleeing from Europe during World War II, Breton traveled throughout North America staging Surrealist exhibitions and lending his voice to several political movements.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Second Edition. Second Edition. Hardcover. 12.5" x 9.5". 158pp. Hardcover paper over boards with cloth spine lettered in red gilt. Very mild shelf wear, else like new. From the publisher: A full-color facsimile of an 18th-century black-magic compendium. Touch Me Not is an Austrian manuscript compendium of the black magical arts, completed c. 1795. Unique and otherworldly, it evokes a realm of visceral dark magic. As the co-editor of this volume Hereward Tilton notes, the manuscript "appears at first sight to be a 'grimoire' or magician's manual intended for noviciates of black magic. Psychedelic drug use, animal sacrifice, sigillary body art, masturbation fantasy and the necromantic manipulation of gallows-corpses count among the transgressive procedures it depicts. With their aid hidden treasures are wrested from guardian spirits, and the black magician's highest ambition-an infernal transfiguration and union with the Devil-can be fulfilled." Hidden for decades within the Wellcome Library collection, Touch Me Not is published here as a full-color facsimile. The German and Latin texts have been translated by Hereward Tilton and Merlin Cox, scholars who have explored the sources for the various elements and provided copious references. Tilton provides an introduction that lays out the context for the survival of this extraordinary manuscript.…

Hardcover. Condition: As new. dj. First thus. When we acquired these two Folio Society volumes, in as-new condition, it only made sense to market them together. After all, both the authors are noted English wits separated by less than a generation, both gained fame as playwrights but also worked in other literary forms, and both of them are gay icons. More particularly to these books, they are bound in such a way that they look like they belong together as parts of a series (even if they weren't officially published as such), and are edited in such a way as to provide an overview of the authors' careers in the form of extracts. They were published in 1997 and 1996, respectively. "The Wit of Oscar Wilde" is edited by Merlin Holland, Wilde's own grandson, who is widely respected as a sympathetic, but not uncritical, authority on Wilde. He created chapters according to genre and wrote an introduction to each one: essays, stories, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (Wilde's only novel), the plays, and a final chapter of works written while Wilde was in prison and immediately upon release that Holland titles "De Profundis" after the name of the first work. Each chapter begins with an introduction by Holland, an epigram by Wilde, and except for the last chapter, ends with one of Wilde's short poems. There are many black-and-white woodblock-like illustrations throughout by Ian Archie Beck, with more illustrations covering the binding. "The Cream of Noel Coward," edited by Michael Cox, with a preface by Graham Payn and Sheridan Morley, follows much the same pattern. Cox arranged his book chronologically instead of by topic, with most chapters dedicated to decades from the 1920s through the 1970s. He mostly includes acts and speeches from plays and films Cowards wrote and the lyrics of songs, but there are also some essays, poems, and bits of biography. The complete script of the play "Private Lives," still one of Coward's most popular pieces of theater, is included. Whereas the illustrations for the Wilde book were many and small, the illustrations by Helen Smithson here are fewer but in the form of full-page prints and seem to have something of a surrealist bent. Again, they carry over to the book cover. As new, unread. Both are bound in gold-colored cloth and show no signs of wear or damage to the boards or spine. All is tight and square. Illustrations wrap around the covers and spine, printed in black. Spine lettering is also printed in black. The books do not have dust jackets but instead have sturdy slipcases which also show no wear or damage, covered in paper the same color as the book cloth. The text blocks are impeccably clean and undamaged, printed on fine paper in Dante with Gill Sans Extra Condensed. These would be fine gifts for those who are already fans, or a good introduction for those who have wondered what all the fuss is about. Beck, Ian Archie; Smithson, Helen (illustrator).…
