Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xiv, 193 pp, plates, ills. From the blurb: "Max Beerbohm and William Rothenstein first met in 1893, two precocious young men with their sights set on London. Their friendship warmed and prospered, though nmch of it was at a distance and took the form of letters. Thus it is preserved for us in one of the last great correspondences, a glortous relic of the pre-telephone age. The subjects on which they wrote were as multifarious as one could wish for-in particular their own and others' efforts in painting, caricature, drama and prose; the vagaries of the famous and infamous. Even after the First War, when the world in which they had made their names had gone for ever, their comments remain informed and acute. Rothenstein by then was head of the Royal College of Art and Beerbohm, although living in Italy, was still producing his inimitable caricatures. As well as explanatory notes, including many outstanding passages from Max's and Will's letters to other people, and Mary M. Lago's introductory essays discussing the letters and giving the necessary biographical detail, there are a number of little known or unpublished caricatures, paintings and photographs. In particular, the notorious Edwardyssey series by Max is reproduced here for the first time. A feast for Beerbohm enthusiasts, for lovers of the Nineties and the Edwardian Era, this is also a record remarkable for its continuity and its insights into fifty vears of English life."

Condition: UNSPECIFIED. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, [6], 252 pp, [4] pp of plates, facs. From the blurb - "Lady Byron's determination to frustrate all attempts at reconciliation with her husband continued after the legal separation and her custody of their daughter Ada was achieved. How Annabella's attitude toward Byron changed into an elaborate and often virulent campaign of self-justification, aided by a curious group of sycophantic hangers-on, is the subject of this engrossing study which covers the years between Byron's self-imposed exile and his death in 1824. Malcolm Elwin's previous Lord Byron's Wife (also based on the Lovelace Papers) dealt brilliantly with the Byron marriage and its precipitate break-up. This book is a revelation of the intrigues with which Annabella was prepared to occupy herself to vilify Byron: but it is significant that her more serious accusations were always by implication and never by direct statement of fact. It is more than strange that anyone who had such apparent scruples about marital rectitude should show such indifference to the damage she might be doing to the feelings and reputations of others. She was systematic and it is the strategy she used in her relationships with husband, sister- in-law and daughter that lies at the centre of this book. She never destroyed anything that seemed to contribute to her case, often secretly copying letters, and it is her papers, sorted and copied by her grandson Ralph, Lord Lovelace, that provided unparalleled source material. Her duplicity and that of Mrs Villiers and others with Augusta Leigh, Byron's beloved half-sister - an affectionate woman without guile - under the guise of intimate friendship, is another of the irreconcilable factors in Annabella's behaviour, as is the way she was prepared to use her child Ada as a pawn, indulging at the same time all the postures of maternal affection. What really was the relationship between Lady Byron and Augusta? How significant is the pattern of jealousy and bewilderment discernable in the jagged and fitful correspondence of these two women whose temperaments contrasted utterly? Towards Byron, Annabella retained, for the most part, a stubborn silence, receiving and despatching news through Augusta Leigh. Malcolm Elwin has welded this material into a masterly book that is not only a composite portrait of the three females who composed Byron's family but gets near to some of the central truths that wrought havoc with Byron's ambivalent attempt at matrimony. Above all he shows the complexities of self deception of which human nature is capable." Name and date on front free endpaper, light spotting to top edge and prelims, otherwise Near Very Good in used dustwrapper.
