Hardcover (Original Red Cloth). Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Michael Ayrton (illustrator). First Thus. Titles; publisher's note; introduction & dramatis personae to front. First published in 1623, the play is loosely based on events that occurred between 1508 and 1513 surrounding Giovanna d'Aragona, Duchess of Amalfi (d. 1511), whose father, Enrico d'Aragona, Marquis of Gerace, was an illegitimate son of Ferdinand I of Naples. As in the play, she secretly married Antonio Beccadelli di Bologna after the death of her first husband Alfonso I Piccolomini, Duke of Amalfi. The play begins as a love story, when the Duchess marries beneath her class, and ends as a nightmarish tragedy as her two brothers undertake their revenge, destroying themselves in the process. Jacobean drama continued the trend of stage violence and horror set by Elizabethan tragedy, under the influence of Seneca. The complexity of some of the play's characters, particularly Bosola and the Duchess, and Webster's poetic language, have led many critics to consider The Duchess of Malfi among the greatest tragedies of English renaissance drama Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xxii + 88. in archive acetate film protection. Dust Jacket un-clipped. Gilt titles spine with gilt publisher'a device front cover. illustrated by Michael Ayrton's b/w. line drawings. Illustrator: Michael Ayrton. Quantity Available: 1.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Illustrated by Holland, Capt.-Lieut. Samuel (illustrator). First Edition. "The original journal, which is now published for the first time, was found by the late Earl Amherst among the papers of his ancestor, Jeffery Amherst, in Montreal House, Kent, three years ago. It consists of four small volumes in William Amherst's handwriting, which is, for the most part, well preserved and easily read. It covers the period from 16th March 1758, the day of Amherst's departure from England for Nova Scotia, to 8th September, 1760, the day Montreal surrendered. The author's close association with his brother Jeffery, Commander-in-Chief in America, gives additional value to his most interesting personal record. His account of the Siege of Louisbourg is one of the most important which has been written by a participant in the campaign." - Foreword. pp. [2 frontis], 82. Five-panel fold-out map illustrates the attack on Louisbourg in 1758. Considerable foxing to first few leaves. Unmarked. Binding intact. 8.5" x 5.5" in grey card covers. A sound copy. ; Map; 8vo.

The complete collected short fiction of R. A.

The project was initiated by editor John Pelan, a science fiction-horror author known for founding the publishing house Axolotl Press, who sadly passed away in 2021 before the series' completion. 'The Man Who Made Models' (volume I) and 'The Man with the Speckled Eyes' (volume IV) were nominated for the Locus Award for 'Best Collection' in 2015 and 2018, respectively. In a writing career spanning more than three decades R. A. Lafferty has been nominated for a World Fantasy Award, four Hugo (winning the 1973 Hugo Award for his short story 'Eurema's Dam') and seven Nebula Awards. In 1990 the author was the recipient of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award. 'R. A. Lafferty is unique, in the old, unspoiled sense of the word. A genius as wild and joyful, delightful and unpredictable as his comes along but once in a lifetime. Cherish him. If there were no Lafferty, we would lack the imagination to invent him.'
