Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Foxing to edge and inside D/J. flaps. Over four decades of writing fiction the author has conveyed imaginateively the realities of transition in South Africa. Many may not realise that she has also produced a remarkable array of non-fiction which reveals much about the transitions of the artist herself. Stephen Clingman, in close collaboration with Nadine Gordimer, has compiled an exhaustive catalogue of some 160 titles, from which he has made this outstanding selection. As he explians in his introduction, the essays illustrate the relationship between outer and inner change for the writer of conscience in South Africa. From the relative optimisim of the 1950s, to Sharpeville and the banning in the 1960s of the ANC and Pan-Africanist Congress, to the challenges of the Black Consciousness movement in the 1970s and the 'interregnum' of the 1980s, Nadine Gordimer rigorously analyses prolitical events - while examining the political implications of her writing. Her stand on censorship is unequivocal; her commitment to the community writers - black and white - is forthright. Her unforgettable travel pieces testify to an eye and ear as redily attuned to the incongruous as the magnificent. The sheer stimulation of Gordimer's arguments, the brilliance of her observation, the vulnerability and toughness of her position emerge clearly in these pages. To followe where her thoughts and experiences lead, as to read her fiction, is an inspiration. 356 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Hardcover. Condition: Poor. First edition thus. Tall quartos, half-titles; collated; in need of a total make-over: tidal marks, warped boards, defective Contents leaves vol.3, pt. 2. Lavater's development of a science of Physiognomy was illustrated by his fellow theologian & countryman, Henry Fuseli, in its original, appearance in 1775 as PHYSIOGNOMISCHE FRAGMENTE. Fuseli illustrated Boydell's magnificent Shakespeare, and his art was a precursor of the Romantic Movement, Sybolism and Surrealism. He was a close friend of William Blake -who engraved a handful of these plates. Blake's own treatment of the creation myth in Genesis was informed by this work by Lavater, in Blake's exploration of God's exprression of his own image and likeness in the faces of contemporary mankind. Lavater's theories influenced contemporary artists, the science of phrenology, and Cesare Lombroso's criminology. This work is a translation from the French edition by H. Hunter : the French edition improves upon the original German because it was made from the author's revised manuscript with some revisions and enlargements. Lavater wrote of Fuseli, "Spectres, Demons, and madmen; fantoms, exterminating angels; murders and acts of violence - such are his favourite objects - as quoted by Gordon Ray, THE ILLUSTRATED BOOK IN ENGLAND From 1790 to 1913, 20." { Brunet III, 887; Lowndes 1321; Garrison-Morton 154 - "His work was very influential on portraiture." ; BIBLIOTHECA OSLERIANA, 3178; ESTC T139902; Bentley and Nurmi's BLAKE BIBLIOGRAPHY, 390}. 173 full-page engravings; 364 vignettes in the text (altho the title-page boasts more than 800 engravings, but that was hyperbole. 173 full-page engravings; 364 vignettes in the text )altho the title-page boasts more than 800 engravings, but that was hyperbole (illustrator).…

Condition: Near Fine. First Limited Edition Thus. No. 162 of 200, with one of 150 on hand-made paper of Wiggins, Teape & Co. 240 copies in all were made, including unnumbered copies (212 were numbered in one of two ways). 4to. (27 by 20 cm.) 282, [5] pp. The outstanding aspects of this edition and copy in which Ovid's verse is rendered in both Latin and German translation are magnificent decorative pigskin binding, the flowing type, and the elegant page decoration, which includes a huge variety of cameo images. These images are never repeated exactly, it should also be noted. Resulting is a book of extraordinary beauty, both exterior and interior-wise. Aesthetically the book production is true to the classical in its lines and sensibility while being securely of its own time when a sinuous Art Nouveau or Jugendstil was ripening into a modernist economy, or Art Deco. There are sensuous Rococo details, such as the gilt lines etched into the spine, while one can not but be impressed with the lack of clutter on each and every page! While the type is not a plain Roman or the like, the gentle curvature of the cursive invites and soothes the eye, and every word should be crisply clear to the modern reader. Light soiling and darkening on the spine. Clean and tight within. The slipcase has some wear. Full Pigskin (Full Leather), with custom slipcase.…
