Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of this selection of Wilde's literary criticism. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. In near fine condition. Ownership inscription. Wildeâs âtheme is not, as is often supposed, artâs divorce from life, but its inescapable arraignment by experience. His creative works almost always end in unmasking. The hand that ad…justs the green carnation suddenly shakes an admonitory finger. While the ultimate virtue in Wildeâs essays is in make-believe, the denouement of his dramas and narratives is that masks have to go. We must acknowledge what we are. Wilde at least was keen to do so. Though he offered himself as the apostle of pleasure, his created world contains much painâ (Ellmann, xvi). Wilde's A Critic in Pall Mall contains extracts from his critical works on Keats, Shakespeare, Balzac, Aristotle, early Christian art in Ireland, Y.B. Years, and William Morris among a wide variety of other subjects.

Hardcover. Condition: VG+. 1st Edition. Uncommon pair of Lucas' companion volumes of stories of old: OLD FASHIONED TALES (1905) and its follow-up FORGOTTEN TALES OF LONG AGO (1906), both uniform in design and format with elaborate decorated covers by F.D. Bedford, who also illustrated both. The first volume is navy blue and gilt… on grey linen, the second yellow, orange, gold and black on cream cloth, both unusually well preserved. The second volume has a short tear in cloth head of spine, but the rare dustjacket, albeit worn and with careful, archival taped repairs on its verso. The separated pieces of the dustjacket for the first volume are laid-in. Same library bookplate on pastedown in both.
