About this Item
Description:
First edition, in the original boards, of one of the poet's most important works. This copy is from the library of the Irish scholar and critic Edward Dowden (1843-1913), who published a biography of Shelley in 1886 and an edition of his works in 1900. Shelley's lyrical drama revisits the Greek myth of Prometheus who, defying the gods, gave fire to humanity, resulting in his eternal punishment and suffering at the hands of Zeus. Inspired by the classical Prometheia of Aeschylus, Shelley's play, an allegory for his own radical politics, imagines Prometheus's release from captivity and eventual overthrow of Jupiter. The "Miscellaneous Poems" at the rear of the volume include some of the shorter lyrical masterpieces for which Shelley is best remembered, such as "The Cloud", "Ode to the West Wind", and "To a Skylark". Following Dowden's death, this copy passed through several distinguished literature collections, including those of the lawyer and stockbroker Charles C. Auchincloss (1881-1961), the poet Robert Joseph Hamershlag (1894-1973), and the Chicago real estate magnate Abel E. Berland (1915-2010), with their bookplates. Hamershlag's bookplate, designed by Rockwell Kent, incorporates his Latin motto "Ut studiis se literarum a mortalitate vindicet" ("See through literature the deliverance from mortality"). The copy is in the second state, as usual, with "miscellaneous" correctly spelled on the contents leaf. Octavo, pp. 222. Original grey and blue paper boards, sympathetically rebacked preserving remnants of original spine and label. Housed in a custom blue morocco pull-off case. With 2 pp. publisher's advertisements at rear. Early ownership inscriptions of "Eaton" and "J. C. Cook". Boards marked and worn at edges, some light foxing mostly to outer leaves. A very good copy.
