Brand new SIGNED hardback copy. Published by Allen Lane 2014, 1st edition 1st printing. A beautiful production. A joyful, rule-breaking experiment in biography, which celebrates 'country life' as a state of mind. It is 1917, Virginia Woolf arrives at Asheham, on the Sussex Downs, immobilized by nervous exhaustion and creative block. 1930. Feeling jittery about her writing career, Sylvia Townsend Warner spots a modest workman's cottage for sale on the Dorset coast. 1941. Rosamond Lehmann settles in a Berkshire village, seeking a lovers' retreat, a refuge from war, and a means of becoming 'a writer again'. Rural Hours tells the story of three very different women, each of whom moved to the country and was forever changed by it.We encounter them at quiet moments - pausing to look at an insect on the windowsill, jotting down a recipe, or digging for potatoes, dirt beneath their nails. Slowly, we start to see transformations unfold. Invigorated by new landscapes, and the daily trials and small pleasures of making homes, they emerge from long periods of creative uncertainty and private disappointment, they embark on new experiments in form, in feeling and in living. In the country, each woman finds her path to convalescence and recovery, to sexual and political awakening, and, above all, to personal freedom and creative flourishing. Graceful, fluid, and enriched by previously untouched archival material, Rural Hours is both a paean to the bravery and vision of three pioneering writers, and a passionate invitation to us all to recognize the radical potential of domestic life and rural places, and find new enchantment in the routines and rituals of each day. We pack our books properly using recycled materials where we can, and post daily from the UK.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Handsomely bound in highly decorated brown cloth with delicate gilt filigree designs and motifs on the front and rear boards, as well as upon the spine. The gilt is somewhat faded with the patina of time. There is external edge wear along the spine; wear to the top and bottom of the spine ends and to the corners. With 30 pages of text in French (describing the plates) and 88 pages of illustrations from photographs in various tints. With 14 pages of ads and two pages for memorandum printed on blue paper at the end of the book. The book is very clean and tight internally with the large bookplate of "Taken from the Library of Rosamond Crompton" on the front paste-down, and Mrs. Gardner's inscription written horizontally across the front endpaper, indicating that this is possibly a signed/presentation to Rosamond Crompton. (Most likely, this is Rosamond Sears Crompton, granddaughter of architect Willard T. Sears, who designed Gardners home and then was hired to design her museum with significant input from Mrs. Gardner. In 1900 Rosamond would have been only two years old, so presumably the book was given to the elder Sears or someone else in the family, and she later inherited it.) The volume is also inscribed in French on a full page following the title page by the publisher G. Sangiorgi to Isabella Stewart Gardner: "A Madame Isabelle Stewart Gardner Boston. Dans votre vie intellectuelle vous avec consacre bien d enthousiasme au culte des beaux-arts; je vous consacre donc ce petit livre qui pour l'amour de l art a à tà fait. Votre aimable protection au portera bonheur." Translation: "To Madame Isabelle Stewart Gardner Boston. In your intellectual life, you have devoted a great deal of enthusiasm to the cult of the fine arts; I dedicate this little book to you, which for the love of art was made. Your kind protection will bring good luck." (The editor of the book, Giorgio Sangiorgi, was a leading antiquarian and art dealer of Florence. Sangiorgis gesture in dedicating the book to Mrs. Gardner may not have been motivated by personal considerations alone. A amber of items now in the collection of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum were acquired by Gardner at Sangiorgis gallery. There is an advertisement for his gallery among the ads in the back.) A very charming and delightful volume with two signed presentations. Isabella Stewart Gardner(1840-1924) was a leading American art collector, philanthropist, and patron of the arts. She founded theIsabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Gardner possessed an energetic intellectual curiosity and a love of travel. She was a friend of noted artists and writers of the day, includingJohn Singer Sargent,James McNeill Whistler,Dennis Miller Bunker, Anders Zorn, Henry James, Okakura Kakuzo, and Francis Marion Crawford. Gardner created much fodder for the gossip columns of the day with her reputation for stylish tastes and unconventional behavior. The Boston society pages called her by many names, including "Belle," "Donna Isabella," "Isabella of Boston," and "Mrs. Jack". Her surprising appearance at a 1912 concert (at what was then a very formalBoston Symphony Orchestra) wearing a white headband emblazoned with "Oh, youRed Sox" was reported at the time to have "almost caused a panic", and still remains in Boston one of the most talked about of her eccentricities.

First edition, first printing, presentation copy from the author, inscribed on the title page: "To Mr. George Gershwin, very sincerely, James Weldon Johnson, Nov. 22 1925". A fine association: Gershwin "established a special closeness with brothers James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) and J. Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954). In earlier years, the Johnsons had been a songwriting team much like the Gershwins" (Pollack, p. 105). "In the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance, the Johnson brothers also cultivated an interest in African American folk music. In 1925 and 1926, the movement's zenith, they brought forth two volumes of Negro spirituals, arranged by J. Rosamond and Lawrence Brown. Each spiritual bore a dedication to some friend or hero, including Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois, dedications that taken together helped chart the social terrain of the Harlem Renaissance. The Johnsons dedicated three spirituals to [Carl] Van Vechten more than to anyone else and in the second volume [The Second Book of American Negro Spirituals], they dedicated the lively spiritual "In dat Great Gittin' Up Mornin'" to Gershwin (who was, along with Percy Grainger and Fritz Kreisler, one of the small number of white composers so honoured James Weldon, on hearing of Gershwin's death, sent Ira a telegram stating, 'America has lost a great composer. 'Personally, I feel his loss as a friend'". Civil-rights leader, poet, and novelist, James Weldon Johnson became the NAACP's first Black secretary (its chief operating officer) in 1920, a position he held throughout the 1920s. He was "deeply committed to exposing the injustice and brutality imposed on African Americans throughout the United States" (ANB). However, during the 1920s he was better known for his literary efforts than for his leadership of the NAACP: "He played an active role, as an author and as a supporter of young talent, in what has come to be called the Harlem Renaissance. Johnson urged writers and other artists to draw on everyday life in African American communities for their creative inspiration. He played the role of a father figure to a number of young writers, includingClaude McKayandLangston Hughes". Three of his books are important contributions to the literature of the Black experience: the fictional Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man (1912), God's Trombones (1927), his "celebration of the creativity found in African American religion" (ibid.), and the autobiographical Along This Way (1933). Provenance: from the collection of the Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts, with his posthumous bookplate. Howard Pollack, George Gershwin: His Life and Work, 2007. Quarto. Original pinkish grey cloth, spine and front cover lettered in dark brown, decorative vignette to front cover. Housed in a custom deep reddish brown quarter morocco solander box. With 68 leaves of musical scores. Spine toned, extremities worn, boards slightly splayed and finger soiled, peripheral toning throughout, small stain in margin of a handful of leaves. A used copy, perhaps unsurprisingly, as it is a book that Gershwin would certainly have consulted, almost in the manner of a textbook.

4 lettres autographes signées 8 pp. In-8 1936-1946 Papier bleu, en-têtes "Ipsden House ou "Diamond Cottage". Une enveloppe conservée. Bon Ensemble de 4 lettres de la romancière et nouvelliste anglaise Rosamond Lehmann relatives à la publication de ses romans : « Je dois vous écrire une petite ligne pour vous remercier bien sincèrement de l'intérêt et de la sympathie que vous m'avez témoigné dans votre article sur mes livres. Vous m'avez donné beaucoup de plaisir; et je vous suis surtout reconnaissante d'avoir compris ce que je voulais dire - ce que j'ai essayé de dire - à la fin d' «Une note de Musique» (Il vaudra mieux continuer en anglais !). Many critics have stressed the «sadness» - and perhaps the result is more «defeatist» than I meant: but few besides yourself have seen that I intended to show a «way out» at the end, in the scenes between Norah and her husband [.] ».
