0018.09.0710 0018.10.0710 1895 John Keats. A Critical Essay. By Robert Bridges. (Privately Printed, 1895. Two Hundred and Fifty Copies printed.) Bridges, Robert An extensive essay on the writings of John Keats. Bridges writes, "The Eve of St. Agnes... is much more powerful. It is well done throughout, and except for some expressions, criticism could only quarrel with the machinery of the story... The Eve of St. Agnes is not only a passionate tale, but it is very rich in the kind of beauty characteristic of Keats, and contains high poetry both of diction and felling: the majority of readers would not wish it different from what it is... Had Keats left us only his Odes, his rank among the poets would not be lower that it is, for they have stood apart in literature... Keats’ vocabulary, to judge by the impression that one gets from reading his poems, is rich, and his use of quite a large number of words that are not commonly found must be reckoned among the factors of his style... the very seal of his poetry, that which sets poetry above the other arts; I mean the power of concentrating all the far-reaching resources of language on one point, so that a single and apparently effortless expression rejoices the aesthetic imagination at the moment when it is most expectant and exacting, and at the same time astonishes the intellect with a new aspect of truth. This is only found in the greatest of poets, and is rare in them; and it is no doubt for the possession of this power that Keats has been often likened to Shakespeare."

(Published by J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. Copyright, 1894 By J. B. Lippincott Company. Printed by J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, U. S. A.) Keats; Dole; Forman, H. Buxton This three volume set includes Forman’s extensive Editor’s Preface dated December 1883 with a Postscript dated January 1889. Forman writes: "The manuscripts of Endymoin, Lamia, The Eve of St. Agnes and portions of Isabella should be mentioned as especially fruitful of various readings and canceled passages... Hunt, in his admirable remarks upon The Eve of St. Agnes, points to the fainting of Porphyre at sight of Madeline as the one flaw in the poem, and apologizes for it on the score of the poet’s enfeebled state of health at the time. But I think this is rather hard on all three - poem, poet and disease. If it be so decided a fault, I fear we must acquit bodily disease of any part or lot in it, for Keats’s young people always had a way of fainting, whether conceived in his more vigorous or in his less vigorous period..." Volume one includes one portrait of Keats and five additional halftone illustrations. Volume two includes seven halftone illustrations. Volume three includes three halftone illustrations.

Some years ago my excellent Danish friend, the lamented Thorkild A. Schoovelin, spoke to me in admiration of the works of his countryman Holger Drachmann, and suggested the project of making an English translation... and at his request I aided in the not easy task of giving to this charming Northern Idyll an adequate English setting. In revising the work for publication in book form, I am conscious of the shortcomings which, had my friend lived, he might have done much to aid in remedying. Yet I trust enough of the beauty and distinctiveness of the original has been transferred to these pages, not only to afford a rare pleasure to the English reader, but to justify in his view the naming of the little tale after the French classic which, in spite of an unlikeness in style and treatment answering to that of the races from which the works are sprung, it still in a way suggests.

Proof on Japanese tissue before publication of "The House Beautiful" by William Channing Gannett. Auvergne Press, River Forest, Ill., 1897. Design: Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright, Frank Lloyd After commissioning Wright to design his home in 1893, William Herman Winslow also charged him with the design of this book, which they printed together by hand. The text is a quintessential expression of Arts and Crafts philosophy, but the design, apart from its great emphasis on decoration does not follow the usual Arts and Crafts lines. Rather it shows the innovative brilliance of Wright, ahead of his time in bookwork, just as he was giving the lead in architecture.

This appears in the summer of 1820. It was called, ‘Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes and Other Poems’. The fragment of ‘Hyperion’ was included at the request of the publishers. The reviews of this volume were respectful, and in many cases even enthusiastic. Jeffrey praised it in the Edinburgh Review, and poor Keats, in poverty, despairing and dying, began to be recognized as a man of genius."

Printed by Norwood Press. J.A. Cushing & Co. - Berwick & Smith, Norwood, Mass. U.S.A.) Arnold, Matthew; Sheridan, Susan S. In Arnold’s extensive essay on Keats he writes, "We who believe Keats to have been by his promise, at any rate, if not fully by his performance, one of the very greatest of English poets... Keats was a great spirit, and counts for far more than many even of his admirers suppose... No one else in English poetry, save Shakespeare, has in expression quite the fascinating felicity of Keats, his perfection of loveliness." Sheridan also includes excerpts from "Keats.

Osler, William Osler writes, "When all the circumstances are taken into account, the English Parnassus affords no parallel to the career of Keats... In June, 1820, appeared Keats's third work, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, and other poems, which placed him in the first rank of English writers... All lovers of poetry cherish Keats's memory for the splendour of the verse with which he has enriched our literature. There is also that deep pathos in a life cut off in the promise of such rich fruit. He is numbered among ‘the inheritors of unfulfilled renown’, with Catullus and Marlowe, with Chatterton and Shelley, whom we mourn as doubly dead in that they died so young."

The form of the tale is peculiar; we have nothing else from the twelfth or thirteenth century in the alternate prose and verse of the cante-fable... It cannot be certainly known whether the form of 'Aucassin and Nicolete' was a familiar from -- used by many jogleors, or wandering minstrels and story-tellers such as Nicolete, in the tale, feigned herself to be, -- or whether this is a solitary experiment by 'the old captive' its author, a contemporary, as M.

Novello’s Original Octavo Edition. (Published by Novello, Ewer and Co. London & New York. Copyright, 1897, by Novello, Ewer and Co.) Keats, John; Surette, Thomas Whitney To commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of John Keats’ birth (1895) Surette composed a ballad of the much loved "The Eve of St. Agnes" which was "received with genuine enthusiasm". "Mr. Surette’s new dramatic ballad, founded on Keats’s well-known poem, had its first performance on February 27, in the Musical Fund Hall, Philadelphia, under the direction of the composer. There was a large audience which completely filled the hall, and the work was received with genuine enthusiasm... Mr. Surette’s composition is highly descriptive and interesting, being distinctly modern, yet very melodious and rich in orchestral effects, which reflect the magic warmth of the poem most vividly... ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ should ensure its attractiveness to choral societies."

(Originally published in 1895 by Way & Williams, Chicago, as "Paul & Virginia of a Northern Zone".) (Hard Cover) (This 1901 edition published by A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago, and printed on a very fine light beige laid paper.) Drachmann, Holger; Re-written in English by Browne, Francis F. "Introductory Note. Some years ago my excellent Danish friend, the lamented Thorkild A. Schoovelin, spoke to me in admiration of the works of his countryman Holger Drachmann, and suggested the project of making an English translation... and at his request I aided in the not easy task of giving to this charming Northern Idyll an adequate English setting. In revising the work for publication under a new title, taken from its heroine in accordance with the usage of the popular series of love-tales of which it now forms a part, I am conscious of the shortcomings which, had my friend lived, he might have done much to aid in remedying. Yet I trust enough of the beauty and distinctiveness of the original has been transferred to these pages, not only to afford a rare pleasure to the English reader, but to justify in his view the author’s naming of his little tale after the French classic which, in spite of an unlikeness in style and treatment answering to that of the races from which the works are sprung, it still in a way suggests.

Roberts, M.A. (Published by Silver, Burdett and Company, New York, Boston, Chicago. Part of The Silver Series of Classics, which also included Keats "The Eve of St. Agnes" and Other Poems.) Shelley, Percy Bysshe; Roberts, Charles G. D. In Shelley’s Introduction and biographical sketch, he writes, "On the 1st of July (1822) Shelley set out with Williams (one of his closest friends) in the Ariel (their yacht) to meet Leigh Hunt at Leghorn. On the afternoon of the 8th they left Leghorn... A storm was threatening... Then the bodies of Shelley and Williams were washed ashore. In Shelley’s pocket was found a copy of Keats, doubled back at ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’... the ceremony was conducted by Trelawney, Hunt, and Byron... The ashes were taken to Rome and buried in that cemetery where lay already the poet’s child William, and his great fellow-craftsman, Keats." In his preface Shelley writes. "The genius of the lamented person to whose memory I have dedicated these unworthy verses, was not less delicate and fragile than it was beautiful..." Shelley laments "I weep for Adonais - he is dead! O, weep for Adonais! though our tears, Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head! And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years, To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers, And teach them thine own sorrow, say: with me Died Adonais..." Of note is Shelley’s second wife. He was married to Mary Shelley, novelist, who authored "Frankenstein". Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes".

Other edges uncut. Cover is red leather with gilt lettering and a stamped design consisting of oak leaves and acorns. Keats, John Undated edition of "The Eve of Saint Agnes". The "Catalogue of a Loan Exhibition Commemorating the Anniversary of the Death of John Keats" from 1921, dates this edition "189-?". During the 1890s A. C. Curtis operated a bookstore in Guildford, England, southwest of London. Being influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement and the reemergence of finely crafted books, he formed The Astolat Press and began publishing books, much like Browne’s Bookstore began doing in 1908. Possibly as early as 1896, but not confirmed until 1901 Curtis began publishing fine books. The title page and printers device were always consistent in his volumes and those that partnered with him. In 1903 A. C. Curtis published "The Eve of St. Agnes". The cover consisted of grey paper covered boards, the design being almost identical to this Jacobs’ edition. When Way & Williams began publishing books in 1895, like this volume, they partnered with English printers and publishers. Although this version was published with it’s own cover, the inside is identical to the Curtis version. The title page of the Curtis edition was dated 1903. The nearly identical Jacobs edition was undated. 4.4 x 7.1. (First U.S. Edition.) For more information on the Eve of St. Agnes see our Wright Study.

(Literary Editor of the Chicago Tribune) The first time Peattie came to our attention during our study of "The eve of St. Agnes", published by Wright and two of his clients, Winslow and Williams. Sixty-five copies were printed, No. 24 was inscribed by the publisher (most likely Williams) to Elia W. Peattie. In 1896, Williams and Way published "A Mountain Woman" [23] by Elia W. Peattie, and a year later published a second book by Peattie, "Pippins and Cheese" [49]. Her name surfaced again during our study of Browne’s Bookstore. In 1908 she wrote an article about Browne’s Bookstore which was published in the New York Post. The article, along with an article written by Wright’s uncle was republished in "A Notable Bookstore", a booklet about Browne’s Bookstore. In 1911, she wrote an extensive article about the Fine Arts Building, published in The International Studio. It was later republished in book form. "Introduction: Each morning, for several months, The Chicago Tribune has published at the head of its first column, versus under the caption: ‘Poems You Ought to Know’...

Along with the many changes in the social order that marked the close of the war, there was awakened a literary consciousness, seeking to come into touch with the spirit of older communities... and the new spirit found expression in the pages of The Lakeside Monthly, under the stimulating editorship of Francis F. Browne. The founding of this high class publication marked the first step in the local literary output inviting critical comparison with what was doing in the world at large; and as such received flattering recognition both at home and abroad. It set up a standard whose influence on the character of local production, even if not always recognized, was almost immediate, and most salutary... and the work thus begun, and still carried forward under the same inspiriting leadership in the pages of the present Dial a critical force surpassed, perhaps, by none in America has its due reward in a germinating soil and literary fruition that has not only made a distinct place for itself, but is receiving an ever larger recognition as a formative influence in American literature.

J. Haynes Relates to the Quinton Blair Residence (S.351). "...The two regiments of men who spent the winter of 1910-11 building this marvelous mountain hotel have been practically isolated from the world for months. They have worked always seven days of the week ; they had no saloon or club or theater to beguile their time or bemuse their faculties, and even for the younger, pleasure-loving workers there was no diversion, except the fierce thrill of gliding and coasting on skis over the glacier-like slopes of the desolate amphitheatre which surrounded them. There is probably no other like example of hotel-building in history, and the structure which is the result, the scene which it civilizes without desecrating, the strange region which it adorns without vulgarizing are all in keeping and in singular symmetry. ...Rustic it is not, in the sense that Old Faithful Inn is rustic. Architect Robert C. Reamer, who also contrived and constructed the historic Old Faithful Inn, smiled gravely when I commented upon this impressive feature of his latest and greatest work, saying: "I built it in keeping with the place where it stands. Nobody could improve upon that. To be at discord with the landscape, would be almost a crime. To try to improve upon it, would be an impertinence." Digital copy. 6 x 9.25.

Immediately there arose much vain contention as to whether or no his dust should be given resting place among that of his peers in Westminster Abbey.

Our research indicates that this volume was produced as a hard cover and covered in paper with a printed design. There is no indication that it was ever produced as a cloth cover with dust jacket. But it is interesting to note that we acquired a second cloth covered copy and both are exactly the same, and other than the cloth or paper cover, are exactly the same. There is no indication that either cloth covers were rebound. This leads us to wonder if the cloth covered versions were also produced by the publisher. Book Review in Saturday Review. 8.5 x 11.

Albright Art Gallery This poster announced Frank Lloyd Wright's lectures on Modern Architecture. This was two years after he spoke at Princeton. Those lectures were published in 1931, in his book called MODERN ARCHITECTURE, Being the Kahn Lectures for 1930. My assumption would be that since the title was the same, he spoke on some of the same subjects that were published in his book.
