Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 256 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Nora May French (1881-1907) is an enigmatic and ethereal figure in American poetry and in the poetry of California. Born in Aurora, New York, she came to Los Angeles with her family when she was a little girl, and in the course of her brief and tragic life she lived and wrote more intensely than many who live a full span of years. Her poetry possesses its own kind of cosmic consciousness, aligning it with the work of Clark Ashton Smith and her friend George Sterling. Its delicacy and pathos render it an imperishable monument to the throbbing emotions and aesthetic sensitivity of the woman who, although beloved by all in Sterling's Bohemian circle, suffered keenly from her own love affairs and committed suicide in November 1907. Now, more than a hundred years after her passing, her poems have been gathered in this volume for the first time. The book includes an extensive biographical and critical introduction by Donald Sidney-Fryer, tributes to French by her contemporaries and by later admirers, and a selection of reviews. Nora May French published no books in her lifetime, but her poems were assembled in 1910 by George Sterling and others. That volume, however, was incomplete, and many fugitive poems have been added by Donald Sidney-Fryer and Alan Gullette, two of the leading authorities on California poetry and the poetry of fantasy and terror. The new edition of Nora May French is a major addition to the study of California literature. I have always believed that it is of paramount importance for a newly rediscovered poet to be introduced by good biographical and critical prose. Your edition is exemplary in this regard which is so often a failing in such projects. You have made her now permanently available to readers.¿ ¿Dana Gioia, poet, author and former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts.

See John Barrow, "The LIfe and Correpondence of Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith", Chapter XIII, pp.406-424 (Knights Templars etc.). ITEM 1: Holograph, one page, 18 x 23cms, aged but good condition double column, some additions and corrections, apparently a draft for a formal document giving details concerning the distinctions of Wiliiam Sidney Smith in both English and French as follows: "The undersigned Sir William Sidney Smith Admiral of the Blue Squadron of His Britannic Majesty's Fleet, Knight Grand Prior of the Antient and most noble Order of the Temple, Commander Grand Cross of the Royal Military Orders of the Sword of Sweden, The Tower and Sword of Portugal, of Saint Ferdinand and Merit of Sicily and of the Antient Nobility of the Four Emperors of Germany, Commander of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath [Knight] of the Crescent of the Ottoman Porte, Knight of the Lion of Holstein, Doctor of Laws of the Univerities of Oxford and Cambridge, Fellow of the Royal Society of London and President of the Knights Liberators of the Slaves of Africa Declares that all persons are bound to respect these prents the same being lawfully issued under and by virtue of the said Order of the Temple. | Given at Paris the 8th Nisan 705 (20th March 1823) | [Masonic symbol] f. Gulielmus Anglicanus [sketch of a seal]". This runs parallel to a translation into French. ITEM 2: One page, 12mo, "Nisan 1823", printed heading "Ordre du Temple", brief note with subscription and name I can't fathom (SEE Image), text as follows: "Laissez entrer Monsieur Le Grand Sieur d'Angleterre, Chevr. Sir Sydney Smith." From the archive of Richard Bentley & Son, material about Smith accumulated for John Barrow's biography. Notes: a. "The "Knights Liberators of the Slaves in Africa" was a knightly order founded by British Admiral Sir Sidney Smith around 1815, though it was more of a philanthropic and political campaign than a formal military order. Its stated goal was to end the enslavement of Europeans captured by Barbary corsairs and to publicize the cause of ending slavery more broadly in Africa. Smith used the organization and related events, such as a banquet at the Congress of Vienna, to bring attention to the issue and propose international action." [AI]; b. "Smith had managed to run up significant debts through his diplomatic expenses, which the British government proved to be very slow in reimbursing. He also lived the high life and his efforts to mobilise opinion against the slave trade had cost a good deal of money. In Britain, at that time debtors were often imprisoned until their debts were paid, so Smith moved his family to France, settling in Paris. Eventually the government did reimburse his expenditures and increased his pension, allowing him to live in some style. Despite frequent attempts to obtain a seagoing position, he was never to hold a command again. He died on 26 May 1840 of a stroke. He is buried with his wife in Père Lachaise Cemetery.".
