Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

The editor/printer's corrected page proofs: 43 leaves, loose in hand-lettered brown folder and printed rectos only, with Alan Anderson's manuscript corrections and alterations, some substantive, on 30 pages; lacking only p. [1] (half-title). The edition appeared finally in olive-green silk-covered boards and was limited to 50 numbered copies, printed on Gainsborough paper (though Anderson experimented with a proof copy on Abbey Mills, in olive-green wrappers). "Most of the letters in this selection were at one time in my possession. Unfortunately I am now unaware of the present whereabouts of some of them, and I regret I am therefore unable to make suitable acknowledgement" (introduction). Correspondents include Natalie Clifford Barney, "George Egerton", Frederick Evans, Wilfrid Meynell, John Cowper Powys, Leonard Smithers, A.J.A. Symons, Rachel Annand Taylor - and Seumas O'Sullivan, to whom Vincent O'Sullivan writes from Paris, 7 November 1930: "Today I saw in a dealer's window the MS. of a diary that Baudelaire kept in Brussels during the years 1864-65. It is amazingly interesting with projects of prefaces for his Petites poèmes en Prose among other notes. The astonishing thing is that it is being offered for only 350 francs - less than £2:10 . . . If you wish to send me a telegram I will tell the dealer to hold it for you . . ." Vincent O'Sullivan (1868-1940) was one of Alan Anderson's favourite writers, featuring frequently on the Tragara Press's list, first in 1956 with the short story In Quiet. Born in Dublin (his parents had settled in America but were both from County Cork), O'Sullivan was sent to school in England, at St Mary's, Oscott, where he was taught by Frederick Rolfe. He dropped out of Oxford to join the Yellow Book set and was a good friend to Oscar Wilde, of whom he leaves a revealing portrait in Aspects of Wilde (1938). "'We live into our fame,' W.B. Yeats said encouragingly to his young friend, the twenty-year-old Richard Aldington. The reverse was true of O'Sullivan," wrote Anderson's friend George Sims in "Some Uncollected Authors XV: Vincent O'Sullivan" (The Book Collector, Winter 1957). "From comparative success and fame when his early books appeared, he lived on obscurely for some forty years and died in lonely poverty.".…
