Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Grey wrappers, printed paper label. Upper cover very slightly marked. Edition limited to 100 numbered copies, this copy unnumbered and inscribed by the printer "printer's proof copy". Wildean drawing-room conversation about Aubrey Beardsley's Yellow Book art; first performed at the Beardsley conference at the Victoria & Albert Museum, 7 November 1998, with the author as Cyril and William Sieghart (founder of the Forward Prizes for Poetry) as Vyvyan. Matthew Sturgis, all-round man of letters and football correspondent, husband of the galleriste and grande dame of Australian cultural affairs in London, Rebecca Hossack, had that year published his Aubrey Beardsley: a biography. Cyril: "The sense of 'wickedness' that you detect in Beardsley's art isn't the result of his subject matter, it's the result of his vision. Beardsley can see the corruption in a flower or a milkmaid - as plainly as he can see it in a harlot. And he can make his line distinct with that knowledge. That is the mark of his genius and his originality. If you gave him a daisy to draw he would show you a fleur-du-mal . . ." Halliwell B106.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. Purple wrappers, printed paper label. Edition limited to 75 numbered copies. "Shelley's Centenary", a poem commemorating the centenary of Percy Bysshe Shelley's birth on 4 August 1792, was first printed in The Spectator for 30 July 1892, and then issued by T.J. Wise in an edition of 25 copies, "printed for private distribution" - though Steven Halliwell questions the strict limitation, having tracked down "rather a large number" (he lists 24). "Lachrymae Musarum", a poem written after the death of Alfred Tennyson on 6 October, was commissioned by The Illustrated London News and printed there on 15 October, before being issued by Wise in an edition (again "printed for private distribution"), this time of 100 copies. William Watson, who turned 34 on 2 August 1892, had been pursuing a career as a critic. Halliwell, who contributes efficient background and bibliographical information on both pamphlets (as well as their texts), suggests, "It is interesting to note that with the publication of these two privately printed books began a change in Watson's fortunes and from then on he concentrated on his poetry . . ." Halliwell B83.…

No Binding. Condizione: Fine. Each a single sheet, 8vo, printed in black and green at the Tragara Press. The books are: Jonathan Allison, editor, Bound for the 1890s: essays on writing and publishing in honor of James G. Nelson ("Based on original research using primary sources and full of insights and discoveries, these reinterpretations focus on Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, W.B. Yeats, John Lane, and other figures who shaped fin-de-siècle literature, book illustration, and aesthetic publishing . . . The roster of distinguished contributors includes Jonathan Allison, Philip K. Cohen, Nicholas Frankel, Steven Halliwell, Linda K. Hughes, Mark Samuels Lasner, Margaret D. Stetz, and Linda Gertner Zatlin"); Sharon W. Propas, Victorian Studies: a research guide ("The first edition of this guide . . . was published in 1992, just as electronic resources were becoming major tools for scholars. Since then, the internet has changed the way in which research materials, especially indexes and other finding guides, are presented and used"); Arthur L. Schwarz, Dear Mr. Cockerell, Dear Mr. Peirce: an annotated description of the correspondence of Sydney C. Cockerell and Harold Peirce in The Grolier Club Archive ("The letters of two prominent book collectors, Sydney Carlyle Cockerell in London and Cambridge and Harold Peirce an ocean away in Philadelphia, were exchanged over a thirty-four year period (1897-1931) and brimmed over with bookish discussion"); Richard Whittington-Egan, Stephen Phillips: a biography ("Virtually forgotten today, Stephen Phillips was a poet and playwright whose verse dramas were considered the equal of Shakespeare's"). The 1890s interests of Rivendale's list coincided with those of Alan Anderson. Rivendale's publisher, Steven Halliwell, was author of Fifty Years of Hand-Printing, the Tragara Press bibliography of 2005. Anderson's prospectuses do Halliwell proud.…

Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, 335 pp, ills, map, [4] pp publisher's catalogue at end. From the publisher's description: "Cyril Arthur Edward Ranger Gull [1875-1923] has proved to be an emblematic 'Nineties decadent whose early works were published anonymously and banned from the circulating libraries. Compton Mackenzie tells us that those early novels created a scandal that compared with the 'four letter school' of the 1960s. In 1906 his books were removed from the shelves at Oxford University. He was not above pulling the odd scam. The publisher Grant Richards decided he was 'an odd, attractive and rather unprincipled little chap.' He was an alcoholic and a gambler who placed himself perilously close to Oscar Wilde. Two companies in which he was involved went into liquidation. Through his friendships he became embroiled in the sub rosa world of late Victorian pornography. In 1899 he conspired to give refuge to the guilty party in the Dreyfus Affaire that strained diplomatic relations between France and Germany. In 1902 he left London in a cloud and created a new identity after being caught misbehaving himself on the beach at Portscatho. Legend has it that in walking the moors of West Cornwall, he was never far from liquid refreshment. In apparent contradiction, he was an award winning crack-shot and Vice-President of the Wildfowlers' Association of Great Britain and Ireland. He made a fortune as a writer and, as a Mine Adventurer, lost the lot. Aside from his own mark on the reading public of the first quarter of the Twentieth Century, Gull merits attention for the light he sheds on those whose lives he impinged upon. Biographers of major figures of the time have failed to pick up on the singular positions occupied by such bit-part players and their roles in popular Edwardian fiction. John Betjeman's reflected verdict was that he was a 'real bad egg' and while envying his sales figures, D. H. Lawrence decided succinctly that C. Ranger Gull was a scamp."
