The first complete facsimile of Vala, or The Four Zoas, a prophetic work begun by Blake in 1797, in the wake of his immense series of illustrations for Edward Young's poem Night Thoughts; indeed, Vala was written on proof pages for Night Thoughts. 'Like Young's poem, Blake's is divided into "Nights" and treats some of the same vast subjectsâ"life, death, immortality' (ODNB). This scope was echoed in the physical and temporal scale of the work: Blake used larger plates than ever before, at 41x32 cm, and continued work on the epic for ten years, before finally leaving it unfinished in 1807, with the poem in a manuscript draft. Bentley's life-size b/w facsimile includes a transcription, an extensive critical study of the poemâs 'growth and significance', and tables of contents and physical details (lines reused elsewhere, watermarks, etc.); it remains the only facsimile publication. Northrop Frye wrote that '(t)here is nothing like the colossal explosion of creative power in the Ninth Night of The Four Zoas anywhere else in English poetry'; the work as a whole, he says, 'a cyclic vision of life from the Fall to the Last Judgment' is 'in a single form the totality of what Blake came into the world to say' (Fearful Symmetry, pp. 305, 269).

The present collection offers a window into the literary world of American poet and humorist Ogden Nash (1902-1971). It is comprised of 239 volumes published between 1886 and 1971, among which are numerous presentation and association copies. All books in the present collection come from the shared personal library of Ogden and Frances Nash. The collection spans poetry, humor, light verse, and literary criticism, and includes a significant number of first and limited editions, often in original bindings or dust jackets. Of particular note are six books inscribed by Nash to his wife, Frances (including five authored by Nash, one of which is in an "Author's Copy" half-leather binding). Included in the collection are 59 works by Nash, three of which feature edits to the text in Nash's hand. Twenty-seven of these Nash publications are Author's copies bound in half-leather. There are an additional 48 volumes bearing inscriptions to Nash from other authors and poets, most notably twelve volumes inscribed by S.J. Perelman. Among the 132 uninscribed volumes included here, 45 bear Ogden Nash's ownership inscription (10 bear the ownership inscription of Frances Nash). The number and range of authorial inscriptions represented in the present collections reflect Nash's wide-ranging literary friendships and professional associations. Notable among these are twelve warmly inscribed titles by humorist S.J. Perelman, whose acerbic wit is on display in a series of affectionate, playful, and sometimes satirical inscriptions to both Nash and his wife, Frances. These volumes also reflect Perelman and Nash's shared experiences in Hollywood and the literary scene of mid-century America. Other highlights include inscriptions from John Betjeman, Christopher Morley, E.C. Bentley, A.P. Herbert, David McCord, William Plumer Fowler, and Holger Lundbergh, among others-each evidencing Nash's influence and the esteem in which he was held across literary and cultural circles in the U.S. and the U.K. Of particular note are the six books personally inscribed by Ogden Nash to his wife, Frances, often composed in his characteristic rhymed style. These inscriptions reflect a deep relationship of tenderness, humor, and enduring partnership. The collection also includes school prize books awarded to Nash in the 1910s, including works by Matthew Arnold, Robert Burns, and Aeschylus, many bound in gilt-tooled leather and bearing formal prize inscriptions from St. George's School. These early items chart the poet's formative years and offer rare provenance tied to his intellectual development. 1399573. Special Collections - Upstairs.…
