First edition of the poet's first book one of 500 copies printed though about half of which were lost in the mail. Octavo, original wrappers. Signed by Gregory Corso. In near fine condition. Rare and desirable signed. In a review of The Vestal Lady on Brattle for Poetry, Reuel Denney asked whether "a small group jargon" such as bop language would "sound interesting" to those who were not part of that culture. Corso, he concluded, "cannot balance the richness of the bebop group jargon. with the clarity he needs to make his work meaningful to a wider-than-clique audience." Ironically, within a few years, that "small group jargon", the Beat lingo, became a national idiom, featuring words such as "man," "cool," "dig," "chick," "hung up," etc. Despite Corso's reliance on traditional forms and archaic diction, he remained a street-wise poet, described by Bruce Cook in The Beat Generation as "an urchin Shelley." Biographer Carolyn Gaiser suggested that Corso adopted "the mask of the sophisticated child whose every display of mad spontaneity and bizarre perception is consciously and effectively designed"â"as if he is in some way deceiving his audience. But the poems at their best are controlled by an authentic, distinctive, and enormously effective voice that can range from sentimental affection and pathos to exuberance and dadaist irreverence toward almost anything except poetry itself. Marian Janssen, in her biography of Isabella Gardner, details the relationships that Corso established with the more traditional literary society at the onset of his career. During his time at Cambridge, Corso met Robert Gardner, a member of the elite upper class âBoston Brahmins.â Gardner became a sponsor of sorts to Corso and briefly provided him with financial support. It was Robert Gardner who suggested to Corso that he send one of his poems to his sister, Isabella, who was a noted poet and the assistant editor of Poetry Magazine. Isabella liked the poem and asked Corso to send her three or four more before she took the poems to the editor, Karl Shapiro. Shapiro rejected Corso's poetry and he never appeared in Poetry Magazine while Shapiro was the editor. Gardener sent a letter back to Corso that managed to âsalve his poetic prideâ and began a lasting but difficult correspondence between the two poets.

Bleistiftzeichnung. Signiert. ca. 1840. Blatt: c. 50x36cm. Zeichnung: 43 x 27,5 cm. Die vorliegende Zeichnung illustriert eine Szene der griechisch-römischen Antike. Die Vestalinnen verlassen Rom nach der Schlacht bei Allia. Die Ausführung ist akribisch, zeigt die Charaktere und die Umgebung sehr detailliert. Im Hintergrund schaut ein Hirte aus der Ferne zu. Ludwig Ferdinand Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1788-1853) war ein deutscher Künstler der Romantik. Er ist der ältere Bruder von Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1794-1872). Wie sein Bruder erhielt L. F. Schnorr von Carolsfeld seinen ersten Kunstunterricht bei seinem Vater, dem deutschen Porträtisten Veit Hanns Schnorr von Carolsfeld. Mit 18 ging er zum Studium nach Wien, wo er die meiste Zeit seines Lebens verbrachte. Dort lernte er Herzog Albert von Sachsen-Teschen kennenlernte, der sein Mäzen wurde. Mit Hilfe des Herzogs schrieb er sich als Schüler von Heinrich Friedrich Füger an der Wiener Akademie der bildenden Künste (1805) ein. In dieser Zeit lernte er an der Akademie Friedrich Overbeck kennen, der eine Bewegung anführte, die nach neuen künstlerischen Mitteln suchte und den Neoklassizismus und die eher strengen und formalen klassischen Ideale der Wiener Akademie ablehnte. Dies führte zur Entwicklung der Nazarener-Bewegung, die auf eine Wiederbelebung des Elements der Spiritualität in der Kunst abzielte und sich von der Kunst des Spätmittelalters und der Frührenaissance inspirieren ließ. In Wien beschäftigte sich L. F. Schnorr von Carolsfeld eingehend mit der Kunst der Antike sowie den Werken großer Meister wie Michelangelo und Raffael. Durch sein Interesse an Spiritualität und religiösen Themen unterhielt Schnorr von Carolsfeld enge Beziehungen zu den katholischen Romantikern Zacharias Werner und Friedrich von Schlegel Schlegels Einfluss hatte entscheidenden Anteil an seiner Konversion zum Katholizismus. Neben dem Interesse an Religion entwickelte Schnorr auch ein Interesse für Okkultismus. Später gaben ihm die Erzherzöge Johann und Franz Karl von Österreich bedeutende Auftragsarbeiten (1818-1828). Johann von Österreich baute zu dieser Zeit sein Gut in der Steiermark und Schnorr wurde mit der Ausstattung einschließlich der Gutskapelle betraut, die von Schnorr auf Weisung des Erzherzogs ausgeführt wurde. Franz Karl von Österreich engagierte ihn für Arbeiten am Speisesaal und am Thronsaal von Schloss Franzensburg in Laxenburg. Zwischen 1821 und 1823 war der österreichische Maler Moritz von Schwind (1804-1871) sein Privatschüler. Die vorliegende Zeichnung ist ein sehr schönes und herausragendes Beispiel der Nazarener-Bewegung. -------------- Pencil drawing. Signed. c. 1840. Sheet: c. 50 x 36 cm. Drawing: 43 x 27,5 cm. The present drawing illustrates a scene of the Greek-Roman antiquity. The Vestal virgins leaving Rome after the Battle of Allia. The execution is meticulous, depicts the characters and the surroundings in great detail. A shepherd is watching from a distance, in the background. Ludwig Ferdinand Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1788-1853) was a German Romantic artist. He is the older brother of the renowned painter Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1794-1872). Just like his brother, L. F. Schnorr von Carolsfeld received his first art lessons from their father, German portraitist Veit Hanns Schnorr von Carolsfeld. At the age of 18 he went to study to Vienna, where he spent most of his life. There he met Duke Albert von Sachsen-Teschen, who became his patron. With the duke's help, he enrolled in the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts (1805), as a pupil of Heinrich Friedrich Füger. It was in this period that he got acquainted at the Academy - with Friedrich Overbeck who led a movement that tried to look for new artistic means, rejecting neoclassicism and the rather rigorous and formal classical ideals of the Viennese Academy. This resulted in the development of the Nazarene movement, which aimed for a revival of the element of spirituality in art, seeking inspiration in art of the late.
