Pamphlet. Zustand: Good. minor wear.

paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This collection by the award-winning writer Allan Johnston includes "Sable," a lengthy discourse based on the life of Phillis Wheatley, a well-known poet of the eighteenth century and a slave in the household of John Wheatley, a prominent Boston businessman. Wheatley's poems were published and distributed widely to affirm that Blacks could be both artistic and intellectual. The remainder of the book includes poems from previous books and chapbooks, including Tasks of Survival, Northport, Departures, Contingencies, and In a Window. Arranged as they are, the poems in the collection initially speak from an intimate stance but move to a more broadly reflective one while developing an increasing connectedness to the natural world. The collection ends with the sequence "Return," and its poems reflect upon time spent in the Sierra Nevada in California, the author's native state.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. (American Literature / Periodicals / Edgar Allan Poe) The Pioneer: A Literary and Critical Magazine. Vol. 1, No. 1 (Jan. 1843) - Vol. 1, No. 3 (Mar. 1843) [Complete Run]. Boston: Leland and Whiting, 1843. FIRST EDITION. Royal 8vo - 10-1/4" x 7". 1-48 pp., [49]-96 pp., and [97]-144 pp. Complete three-issue run of this short-lived but seminal 19th-century literary journal, spanning January to March of 1843. Bound in the original publisher's salmon-colored paper wrappers printed in black. All three issues are illustrated with mechanical reproductions consisting of original etchings and woodcuts printed in black. The complete set is housed in a custom protective collector's brown cloth chemise and matching slipcase. The physical condition of the periodical is graded VERY GOOD (utilizing the standard antiquarian book grading scale for works on paper). The delicate original paper wrappers exhibit general light handling wear and age-toning to the extremities across all three issues, with a single notable irregular paper loss along the lower edge of the front wrapper of Vol. I, No. 1. Internally, all three issues remain exceptionally clean, bright, and securely attached to their original stitching, free of any significant foxing or other defects. Founded by James Russell Lowell and Robert Carter, The Pioneer was launched as an avant-garde vehicle to challenge the commercialism of contemporary literary magazines and foster a high-minded national literature. Though the venture abruptly ceased after only three months due to severe financial collapse and an eye infection that temporarily blinded Lowell, its brief run remains one of the most legendary triumphs in American publishing history. Most notably, Vol. I, No. 1 contains the true first printing of Edgar Allan Poe's masterpiece of Gothic fiction, "The Tell-Tale Heart," which Lowell eagerly accepted for publication. Nos. 2 and 3 similarly contain foundational first printings by Poe, including the definitive publication of his landmark poem "Lenore." This complete run also features early critical works, essays, and poetry by iconic literary contemporary figures including Elizabeth Barrett [Browning], Nathaniel Hawthorne, and John Greenleaf Whittier, capturing the peak of the mid-19th-century American Renaissance as it was originally presented to the public. Because 19th-century paper-wrapped periodicals were inherently fragile and intended for casual consumption rather than preservation, complete three-issue runs of The Pioneer are incredibly scarce, particularly when preserved in their original publisher's printed salmon wrappers. While a current global sweep of the OCLC/WorldCat database locates approximately 18 holdings of The Pioneer preserved in institutional special collections worldwide: the vast majority of these surviving copies have been structurally altered—permanently bound together into hardcover volumes, typically stripped of their original exterior paper covers, with some recorded institutional examples even suffering from excised interior illustrations. Notably, only a single landmark institution, The Morgan Library & Museum, explicitly records a complete three-issue run surviving entirely unbound and intact in the original publisher's wrappers as issued. The extreme fragility of these survival factors makes an intact, unsophisticated set in its original state an absolute paramount scarcity for the 19th-century researcher. THIS EXTRAORDINARY 19th-CENTURY PERIODICAL RUN, BRIDGING THE TRAGIC REIGN OF EDGAR ALLAN POE'S GREATEST GOTHIC FICTION WITH THE GENESIS OF AMERICAN LITERARY JOURNALISM, REPRESENTS A CRITICAL ACQUISITION FOR INSTITUTIONAL SPECIAL COLLECTIONS OR EXTRAORDINARY PRIVATE COLLECTIONS DEVOTED TO THE WORKS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE, 19th-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE, OR RARE LITERARY PERIODICALS.
