Condizione: Good. London: C. and J. Rivington [et al.], 1823. 12mo; 266pp. Two full-page engravings, one for each of the tales. Original printed publisher's boards with paper spine label and advertising list on back. Textblock untrimmed, but all pages opened. About 2/3 of spine label in place, the bared crown and foot of the sewn gatherings were coated, probably early in the volume's life, with a glossy solidifying glue. Very mild foxing throughout. Dr. Johnson's famous tale inspired several sequels. Ellis Cornelia Knight (1757-1837) moved among the British great and good throughout her life, and published her Dinarbas anonymously in 1790 when she and her mother faced genteel impoverishment in Italy. She would eventually return to England in the company of Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson-high-minded Miss Knight was somewhat alarmed at their amours-and later became a Companion to Princess Charlotte. Dinarbas was a success in its day. The title character is the warrior son of a castellan in whose fortress Rasselas's party takes shelter at the start of Knight's sequel. By the end of the tale, after adventures both military and sentimental, he receives the ultimate in praise from Rasselas: "To thee, Dinarbas, we owe the tranquillity of the empire; and in thy friendship I have found more than a recompense for all my searches after happiness." One can just imagine the harrumphing of Dr. Johnson.

Schnitt und unbeschnittene Seiten an den Rändern angeschmutzt. Innen sauber. Text in englischer Sprache. "Samuel Johnson (* 7. September jul./ 18. September 1709 greg. in Lichfield; 13. Dezember 1784 in London), wegen seiner Gelehrsamkeit meist Dr. Johnson genannt (das Trinity College Dublin ernannte ihn 1765 zum Doktor der Rechte ehrenhalber, 10 Jahre später erhielt er eine weitere Ehrendoktorwürde der Universität Oxford), war ein englischer Gelehrter, Lexikograf, Schriftsteller, Dichter und Kritiker. Er ist nach William Shakespeare der meistzitierte englische Autor und war im 18. Jahrhundert die wichtigste Person im literarischen Leben Englands, vergleichbar mit Gottsched in Deutschland." (Wikipedia) "Ellis Cornelia Knight (1757 17 December 1837, Paris) was a writer and painter who socialized with many of the notable personalities of the late reign of George III: Horatio Nelson, Lord and Lady Hamilton, the Prince Regent, the Princess of Wales, and the Princess Charlotte. Knight`s father, Sir Joseph Knight, had a long career in the British Navy and was knighted by King George III; when he died in 1775, he was Rear Admiral of the White. Her mother was a well educated woman known for her skill at conversation. Cornelia went to London College where she learned Latin and other European languages. Upon her father`s death, Knight and her mother were left with only a small income; to make the most of it they moved to the Continent. They were living in Naples in 1798 when word came of Nelson`s victory at the Battle of the Nile. They participated in the estatic celebrations of that victory when Nelson arrived in Naples, and became good friends of the Hamiltons and Lord Nelson. After her mother died in 1799, Knight was invited to accompany the Hamiltons and Lord Nelson on their return journey to England. During this trip she became increasingly uneasy about the warmth of the relationship between Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson. Once back in England, Knight settled independently, writing and making frequent visit to friends. She was appointed companion to Queen Charlotte (1805) and to a similar position, later, in the household of Charlotte Augusta, Princess of Wales (1813). In 1805 her reputation as a learned author of highly respectable character earned her an invitation to join the household of Queen Charlotte. Knight was with the Queen as the King`s mental capacity declined and a Regency was established. In 1812 she became Companion to Charlotte Augusta, Princess of Wales, holding this post until the Regent fired her in 1814 for imagined lapses of judgement. In 1818 she became a teacher of English, literature, science and fine arts to the young Massimo Taparelli, the Marquis d`Azeglio, who was an important Italian writer, painter, patriot and politic. He mentioned Cornelia in his d`Azeglio`s Memoirs (1867), in chapter XIV where d`Azeglio met Knight in 1818 at Castelgandolfo. The last twenty years of her life were spent outside of England, and she died in Paris." (Wikipedia) Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1100 15 x 9 cm, Pappband der Zeit ohne Schutzumschlag.

In-16°, pp. 268, legatura del tempo m. pelle con titolo e filetti in oro al dorso e piatti marmorizzati. Antiporta e frontespizio figurati incisi su acciaio. Ottima copia. Graziosa ristampa del celebre romanzo del Doctor Johnson, oggetto della più famosa biografia della letteratura inglese, scritta da James Boswell, stampato per la prima volta nel 1759, contemporaneamente a Candide. Come Candide, l'opera risulta una sorta di racconto filosofico volto a satireggiare il facile ottimismo del secolo dei Lumi. Il romanzo ebbe notorietà in Italia anche per la traduzione che ne fece Giuseppe Baretti. Hawkins and Boswell agree that Rasselas was written to help the dying Sarah Johnson and eventually to pay for her funeral. Johnson told Reynolds he wrote the work in the evenings of a single week, which implies a commencement at least on Monday 15 January, the date on which he learned of his mothers illness and on which he first sent her money (Fleeman). Alle pp. 131 e sgg. è contenuto il Dinarbas di Cornelia Knight, ideale seguito del romanzo precedente. Cfr. Fleeman, A Bibliography of the Works of Samuel Johnson, 59.4R/83. Inglese.
