Good+ An impressive UT Austin-related association copy of this second Ark Press edition of D.H. Lawrence's Look! We Have Come Through! (1959), the cycle of poems celebrating his relationship with Frieda, fondly inscribed to the British poet and UT Austin lecturer Kenneth Hopkins by its illustrator, and Ark Press founder, Kim Taylor (who published under the name Michael Adam), and fellow academic Francis Warren Roberts, a pre-eminent D. H. Lawrence scholar and bibliographer, who commissioned the Ark Press edition and contributed the Introduction. Francis Warren Roberts (19161998) played a key role in the development of what later became the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (HRHRC) at UT Austin, including facilitating the acquisition of material for its stellar D. H. Lawrence collection: during his Fulbright lectureship at the University of Pisa in 1956-8, he'd had the thrill of being offered a box of "manuscripts, letters, photographs, and memorabilia related to Lawrence, [Giuseppe 'Pino'] Orioli, and their circle in Florence" by a bookseller in the city. HRHRC also holds the archive of Kenneth Hopkins (1914-1988), the British poet and novelist, publisher and lecturer. Born in Bournemouth, and apprenticed to a builder's merchant at 14, by 1938 Hopkins was selling his poems door to door, eventually reaching London, where he fell in with the anarchist and publisher Charles Lahr and his circle at the Red Lion Street bookshop. Hopkins went on to found two small presses of his own, Grasshopper Broadsheets (1942-45) and Warren House Press (1969-1988), as well as the Saturdays, a London literary club for poetry appreciation. Kim Taylor (1919-) founded the Ark Press in 1953, with its first completed book being D. H. Lawrence's essay Life (1954), illustrated by Ru van Rossem's wood engravings. The following year Warren Roberts commissioned Taylor to design and print Look! We Have Come Through!, the manuscript of which UT Austin had purchased. Following this successful production, which required a second edition (this one), Harry Ransom, then UT Austin's Vice President, as well as Director of HRHRC, offered Taylor the role of Consultant to the University's publications programme. A neat association copy, then.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Fine. Signed limited edition. One of thirty-five deluxe copies bound in vellum, this being copy number two, in a total edition of 130. Signed by Leonard Baskin and editor John Fowles on the colophon. Each deluxe copy includes a suite of nine unbound signed prints by Leonard Baskin and is housed in a bay laurel and ce…dar wood box. A Fine copy, illustrated throughout with woodcuts by Baskin. D.H. Lawrence's short novel The Man Who Died was originally published as The Escaped Cock in 1929. Inspired by a visit to Etruscan tombs in 1927, the novel retells the resurrection of Christ to reflect on life, death, myth-making, and "the despairing, almost hectic seriousness with which Lawrence saw mankind's deep-rooted psychological and emotional problems" (Fowles, p. 100). This edition, which is illustrated throughout with the striking, energetic woodcuts of Leonard Baskin, was finely printed by Aaron Johnson at the Yolla Bolly Press using Bembo type on mold-made Somerset paper, with handmade endpapers from the Twinrocker Paper Mill. The elegant vellum binding of the deluxe issue was done by Renee Menge. In his commentary on The Man Who Died, editor John Fowles quotes Richard Adlington's perspective on the novel: "It is intensely personal, and the saddest thing Lawrence ever wrote. It is the only thing in his work that looks like a confession of defeat.The opening part when he describes the mingled agony and gradual happiness in creeping back from death to life is full of pathos; one can't help thinking of his own sufferings as he recovered from one or other of his serious crises. Like much of Lawrence's writing, it has more than one meaning. You can take it as an expression of his latest feelings about Jesus a rejection of Jesus as a teacher, an acceptance of Jesus as the lover.Even when he was struggling with the problem of love and hatred, Lawrence was always a great lover; his deepest and most passionate belief was in love" (p. 101). Fine. Signed.

Bound at the press in full vellum by Renee Menge, simple gilt cross on upper cover, white leather stitches along joints. Housed in a bay laurel and cedar wood box with a plain cross carved into the lid. WITH NINE WOODCUTS BY LEONARD BASKIN. SIG…NED in the colophon by Leonard Baskin and John Fowles. Anthony Burgess, "Flame into Being," pp. 174-78. As new. Expressively illustrated by Leonard Baskin, this is one of five Press Copies of an elegant fine press edition of D. H. Lawrence's provocative novella of the Resurrection. David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) composed "The Man Who Died" (originally titled "The Escaped Cock") in two sections in 1927-28 as he descended into his final illness. In the novel, a resurrected Jesus embraces humanity and the flesh, turning away from his previous teachings to believe that the body is more important than the spirit. DNB tells us that the book is "a work of intense nostalgia for the body," written by the slowly withering Lawrence. That this openly sacrilegious book did not spark more controversy is surprising; Lawrence biographer Burgess suggests it is due to his care never to explicitly name Jesus in the text, or perhaps because "the whole work is so masterly a piece of prose poetry that it has the capacity to disarm even the faithful." Our edition, with its elegantly simple binding and box, both decorated only with a cross, has not shied away from the connection. From 1983-2001, our publishers, Carolyn and James Robertson, created hand-printed works on the finest handmade paper at their press in Covelo, California, adjacent to the Yolla Bolly Wilderness, from which their press obviously takes its name. As noted in the introduction to "Making Books in the Woods," Stanford University Library's 2002 exhibition of the press' works, "the design of each Yolla Bolly Press book is intimately tied to the nuances of the text, and is completed with great attention to craft. . . . The Press commissions original artwork as well as fresh commentaries by contemporary authors to accompany classic texts, offering an 'interpretation of the original text in a contemporary context.'" The text here is accompanied by commentary from writer John Fowles (1926-2005) and a suite of evocative woodcuts by Leonard Baskin. One of the preeminent American artists of the 20th century, Baskin (1922-2000) considered himself primarily a sculptor, but he is best known for his woodcuts, book illustrations, and the fine books created at the Gehenna Press, which he founded in 1942, while still a student at Yale. His woodcuts and sculptures were in the figurative tradition at a time when abstract expressionism was the dominant movement in art; his defense of his style, quoted in his New York Times obituary, seems especially applicable to the etchings here: "Our human frame, our gutted mansion, our enveloping sack of beef and ash is yet a glory. Glorious in defining our universal sodality and in defining our utter uniqueness. The human figure is the image of all men and of one man. It contains all and can express all." Rugged and emotional, these depictions, like the text, depict a raw and human Jesus, using closely cropped compositions and dark, uneven lines to draw out the visceral celebration of humanity in Lawrence's work. ONE OF 35 COPIES BOUND IN VELLUM, 30 of these for sale, OURS ONE OF FIVE RESERVED for the Press (from a total edition of 130 copies, 100 of which were for sale).
