ABOUT THIS SET: Volume One, comprised of letters written between 1890 and 1930, also contains a substantial introduction to Jeffers' life and work. Readers of Volume One will acquire a completely new understanding of Jeffers' formative years. Topics of special interest include the evolution of Robinson and Una's relationship (which involved the breakup of her first marriage), their move to Carmel, the building of Tor House and Hawk Tower, Jeffers' maturation as a poet, the couple's widening circle of friends, and their first trip together to the British Isles. The 1930s marked a turning point for the world. Scientific and technological revolutions, economic and social upheavals, and the outbreak of war changed the course of history. The 1930s also marked a turning point for Robinson Jeffers, both in his career as a poet and in his private life. The letters collected in this second volume of annotated correspondence document Jeffers' rising fame as a poet, his controversial response to the turmoil of his time, his struggles as a writer, the growth and maturation of his twin sons, and the network of friends and acquaintances that surrounded him. The letters also provide an intimate portrait of Jeffers' relationship to his wife Una including a full account of the 1938 crisis at Mabel Dodge Luhan's home in Taos, New Mexico that nearly destroyed their marriage. This volume of correspondence, the last in a three-volume edition, spans a pivotal moment in American history: the mid-twentieth century, from the beginning of World War II, through the years of rebuilding and uneasy peace that followed, to the election of President John F. Kennedy. Robinson Jeffers published four important books during this period-Be Angry at the Sun (1941), Medea (1946), The Double Axe (1948), and Hungerfield (1954). He also faced changes to his hometown village of Carmel, experienced the rewards of being a successful dramatist in the United States and abroad, and endured the loss of his wife Una. Jeffers' letters, and those of Una written in the decade prior to her death, offer a vivid chronicle of the life and times of a singular and visionary poet.(Publisher).…

No. 44 of 50 copies, signed by Stuart. Introduction by Ward Ritchie and signed by him in ink. With red printers' flowers used throughout and some ornaments of birds, butterflies printed in red and blue, line blocks of the areas of the house where the words were inscribed including a moveable flap on the 'Minstrel's Gallery'. Printed in Fabritius type in light blue, dark blue and red on Ingres Antique paper. The reproduced calligraphy of direct printed copies of Jeffers' own script. Oblong sq. 8vo., original ivory canvas with inset printed fleuron. Housed in the original ivory canvas Soldander box with inset cast paper design of the front door of Tor House by the book and paper artist Joseph D'Ambrosio. Extremely good. The imprint of Gloria Stuart, possibly best known for her role as the elderly Rose in the film Titanic. She began printing late in life, buying a Vandercook proof press and accumulating type including Bruce Rogers' Centaur type and Frederick Warde's Arrighi type. She was most enamoured by Rudolf Koch's Antiqua of which she acquired an almost complete range. She began printing broadsides but soon moved onto books, her first being Enishi. In Matrix vol. 8 Ward Ritchie describes her books as "ingenious in their concept and each one quite different". In her early life Gloria had lived in an artists' colony in Carmel and as Ritchie says, she began to revive some of her memories there in her projects for her press Imprenta Glorias. She was especially exercised by Robinson Jeffers who had lived in and wrote about the area, and his poetry had held great importance in her life. Jeffers had painstakingly built a stone house called 'Tor' as well as tower he called 'Hawk' on a point overlooking the coast, personally dragging up the boulders he used from the shore. On the beams and archways he painted or carved quotations which appealed to him for his wife and twin sons. Gloria Stuart gathered these together for this book which give an insight into Jeffers and his inspirations.…
