Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Burgundy (or, as the eBay sellers would have it, "burgandy") cloth with gilt titles still bright to spine. There are some margin notes to a few pages of the Introduction, all in the same small hand, though in several languages. Previous owner's name "Morris U. Schappes" in ink to front pastedown. Schappes (1907-2004), born Moishe ben Haim Shapshilevich in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine, was an American college professor, educator, writer, radical political activist, and historian, best remembered for his 1941 perjury conviction obtained in association with testimony before the Rapp-Coudert Committee investigating Communism in education in New York, and subsequently as the 40-year editor of the radical magazine Jewish Life (later Jewish Currents), an English-language organ of the Communist Party, USA, dealing with Jewish issues and targeted to a Jewish readership -- though after 1956 the magazine reportedly decided to leave the Communist Party orbit. (In his later years, Schappes garnered professional recognition for his work as an historian, and in 1993 he was awarded the Torchbearer Award of the American Jewish Historical Society.) Of the William Guild Howard / Henry Holt volume in hand, the 145-page introduction and the 137-page Commentary are in English, but the bulk of the text (Goethe's 15-page, 1798 essay "Uber Laocoon"; Herder's 1769, 125-page "Erstes kritisches Waldchen", and Lessing's 137-page, 1766 essay "Laocoon" and his 27-page "Entwurfe") are in German. All but the last named essay feature facsimile reproductions of their original title pages. "The purpose of this volume is to facilitate the approach to Lessing's 'Laokoon,' and to make the study of the questions treated by Lessing as instructive as possible," the author states in his Preface. "Accordingly, I have cleared away from the text sundry archaeological obstructions, which Lessing himself was ready to sacrifice in a second edition; I have modernized the language, have drawn upon Goethe and Herder for interpretation and criticism, and have set forth at some length the history of the problems. . . ." The Laocoön Group, estimated 27 B.C. to 68 A.D., depicting the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus being attacked by sea serpents, has been called "the prototypical icon of human agony" in Western art, and has been one of the most famous ancient sculptures ever since it was excavated in Rome in 1506 and placed on public display in the Vatican, where it remains. Pliny attributed the work, then in the palace of Emperor Titus, to three Greek sculptors from the island of Rhodes: Agesander, Athenodoros and Polydorus. clxviii Introduction in English, followed by 470 pp. mostly in German (Deutsch) but including substantial English-language Commentary and Bibliography. This book now reduced from $155.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First American Edtion. First impression of the first American edition, published simultaneously with the first British edition, which was given a different tile - "Print and the People"'. With black and white illustrations throughout. ***Near fine in blue-textured cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. Page block edges clean. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. No foxing. Pages bright and clean. No creases or tears. ***In a near fine colour illustrated, price-clipped dustwrapper, which is very slightly creased at the edges. No serious creases, chips or tears. Dustwrapper bright, although the olive green colour has faded to turquoise on the spine. ***368 pages including notes to the anthology, an extensive bibliography and index at the back of the book. 250mm x 190mm. ***'The first half of the nineteenth century saw the rapid expansion both of literacy and of printing. English Popular Literature is a unique collection of the popular literature published in England between Peterloo and the Great Exhibition, much of it never reprinted before, and has not been available outside a few specialist libraries. It has been arranged to give both a glimpse of what the working classes were reading and a fascinating picture of their interests and concerns - their sport, work, crime, politics, religion and entertainments. The titles of a few of the pieces give their flavour better than description: Daft Watty's Ramble to Carlisle; The Colliery Union; The Production of all Nations!; The Workhouse and the Rich; Snowball the Fastest Greyhound in England; The Broken Sabbath; Hints to Working People about Clothing; Varney, the Vampyre; Republics and Monarchies; Daniel Good, the Monster Murderer!!!; The Frisky Girls of London; Victoria the Star of England. ***Because the appearance as well as the content of the reading matter was often important, material is reproduced in facsimile when helpful. The whole is put into perspective by a detailed introduction exploring the literary and social movements out of which this literature grew. The resulting volume combines an interest in literature, history, printing, the sociology of communications, and in the sheer vitality and variety of the life of the people at a time of radical change.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***A beautiful copy of this informative and well-illustrated book. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. ***Please note that this is quite a heavy book and will incur extra postage - the book weighs in at 1.2kg.…
