Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. FIRST COMPLETE NOVEL IN ENGLISH London, Printed for Edward Blounte, 1620?, 1620. FIRST COMPLETE EDITION IN ENGLISH, FIRST EDITION of II. 2 vols. I: pp. [12], 572, [4]; II: [2], [16], 504, lacking final blank. Roman letter, little Italic. Engraved titles with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza on horseback, woodcut vignette to second title, decorated initials and ornaments. Textblock trimmed close at head, occasionally touching typographical ruling, or running title of vol.II, engraved titles and last versos dusty, upper outer corner of P7 (II) torn, affecting two letters, small light water stain to lower outer blank corner of last two ll. (II), the odd minor marginal spot or mark. Very good, fresh and clean copies in modern limp vellum antique by B. Middleton, silk ties, a.e.r., early shelfmark labels preserved at foot of spines, bookplates of Kenneth Rapoport and Michael Curtis Phillips. In folding box. The first complete edition in English, and the first English edition of Part II, of this ground-breaking literary work - the first modern European novel, rarely found complete, as a uniform set. Attributed to Renold Elstrack, the engraved frontispiece, which reprised the title vignette of the first 1618 French edition, was the illustration of Don Quixote and Sancho to appear in print. Don Quixote is one of those universal works which are read by all ages at all times, and there are very few who have not at one time or another felt themselves to be Don Quixote confronting the windmills or Sancho Panza at the inn (PMM 111). The epic novel tells the deeds of the minor aristocrat Alonso Quijano, so keen a reader of medieval chivalric romances that he loses his mind (or pretends to), and becomes absorbed in an imaginary world of knightly adventures. After assuming the name Don Quixote , as a knight-errant, he travels with his witty squire Sancho Panza (a local farmer), facing comic situations he interprets as heroic, including the famous, symbolic and now proverbial fight against windmills. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) led a picaresque life. Having written a handful of plays, he published Part I of Don Quixote in 1605, followed by Part II in 1615. It was first translated from Castilian into English the first translation into any language - by the Irish Catholic Thomas Shelton (fl.1604-20) in 1612, using the text of the 1607 edition, printed in Brussels, where Shelton taught Spanish. The c.1620 Part I is a reprint of Shelton s text. Previously attributed to Shelton and probably based on the 1615 edition, Part II is now considered to be the work of the Hispanist Leonard Digges (1588-1635). Digges was among the authors of dedicatory poems prefacing Shakespeare s First Folio, also published by Edward Blount. The English translation of Quixote greatly influenced the language and ideas of English playwrights and poets, including Shakespeare and Jonson. Not merely once but on a variety of occasions the C17 English writers [influenced by Quixote ] reflect and actually participate in the sheer fun of the work by playing with the protagonist s name. They invent the adjectives Quixoticall (1642), Quixot-like (1664) [ ]; the past participle Don quixoted (1658) [ ]; and the nouns Don Quichoterie (1659), Quixotry (1665) [ ]. In short, both the nature and the contagious fun of the character [ ] were actually adapted, incorporated, and made manifest in fresh English words (Randall, pp.xxxvi-xxxvii).

London, Cadell and Davies, 1818. Four volumes 8vo. Contemporary full calf, spines with raised bands, decorated and lettered in gilt, boards ruled in gilt, decorated in blind, edges of boards and inner dentelles gilt, all edges gilt; all half-titles present; steel-engraved plates and headpieces, front joints expertly fixed, occasional light spotting, overall a very attractive set from the the library of the British Prime Minister Anthony Eden with his engraved armorial bookplate inside front covers. First edition with these plates, and newly translated by the artist's daughter Mary Smirke, herself an artist, a well-regarded landscape painter. 'In May 1810, the artist Joseph Farington approached the publishers Thomas Cadell & William Davies with a suggestion from his friend Robert Smirke that a new translation of Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote be published with illustrations engraved from Smirke's paintings of significant moments in the story. Farington and Smirke had worked together on several of these paintings in the late 1790s and early 1800s, Smirke taking care of the figures, while Farington focused on the landscape, in particular trees, which were his speciality. The publishers approved of the idea and a translation was begun soon after. This was made by Robert Smirke's daughter, Mary Smirke, and Farington reported regularly in his diary on her progress. Smirke worked from previously published translations of the novel, in particular that of Charles Jervas (published 1742), to which she made corrections, often removing extra passages that were not present in Cervantesâ s original â ¦ Smirke was paid 200 guineas for the project and on 9 April 1818, Farington recorded in his diary that Cadell had approached her shortly before the book went to press to ask if she would approve of her name appearing on the title page. She refused the offer, with her father instead suggesting that it could follow a dedication, perhaps to the Prince Regent, the future George IV. This idea was seen as acceptable, but rather than dedicating the work to the prince, it was instead dedicated to William Lowther, Earl of Lonsdale' (Royal Collection Trust, online). - This cataloguer failed to establish a witticism connecting Anthony Eden and Don Quixote.

The cases of the books have shelf wear on the boards and some expected damage with a little loss to the paper on the edges of the boards. The corners are lightly bumped with some damage and a little loss to the leather on the corner tips. The old spine leather is scuffed with some pitting and the volume numbering on the spines is worn and indistinct. Pieces are missing from the ends and edges of the old overlaid spines with the newer leather being visible.
