Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Memoriam, The Princess, and Maud is a collection of three poems by Alfred Lord Tennyson, first published in 1850, 1847, and 1855 respectively. The poems explore themes of grief, love, and societal expectations. In Memoriam is a long elegy written in memory of Tennyson's friend Arthur Henry Hallam, while The Princess is a narrative poem about a princess who starts a women's college and falls in love with one of her male students. Maud is a dramatic monologue about a man who falls in love with a woman named Maud and the tragic consequences that follow. Tennyson's poetry is characterized by its musicality and vivid imagery, and these three works are no exception. The collection is a testament to Tennyson's skill as a poet and his ability to capture the complexities of the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Zustand: Good. Typed Letter Signed on Lord John Press letterhead, letter-sized. Very Good. Provenance: Herb Yellin (1935-2014) was the highly respected publisher and founder of Lord John Press, considered by many to be one of the most important small presses of the 20th century.

An interesting letter, revealing some of Cecil's views on the art of writing. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient Vere Henry Collins (1872-1966), was an author and grammatical stickler, and Cecil has clearly been on the receiving end of a ticking off. 2pp, 4to. On grey paper. In fair condition, lightly aged, with creasing and a short closed cut at the foot. He begins by stating that he found Collins's letter 'very interesting': 'I take a great interest in the small points of style.' He agrees with some of Collins's 'strictures', 'in particular that about the exclamation mark. As a matter of fact I didn't put any exclamation marks, they were put in by the newspaper. However, I am partly responsible, for I didn't notice them in the hurry of looking through the proof at the last minute.' He responds to another question of punctuation, before stating: 'I do not take the view that no sentence should begin with 'and'. It may be necessary to begin one with 'and', in order to convey the precise modulation of thought in the mind of the author.' He continues: 'You are wrong in thinking "whether or not" unnecessary. I wished to give the impression of the controversy raging in the Norton household - with Caroline saying the children should go to stay with her brother, and George Norton maintaining that they should not do so - this could not be conveyed so well by simply using the word "whether".' He proceeds to explain his disagreement with Collins's point regarding 'consternated', commenting: 'I note that you quote Fowler [H. W. Fowler, author of 'Modern English Usage'] as an authority. Believe me, he is no such thing. His books are lively and vigorous, but they reveal him as a man who does not understand much about the art of writing. Almost every rule he propounds has been broken by great writers.' After conceding Collins's points on 'slips in punctuation', he concludes: 'You are surely right to protest against slipshod writing; but you should remember that the writing of English is a flexible art.' The letter carries numerous pencil annotations by Collins, including - concerning the point about sentences beginning with 'and' - 'Nor do I nor does any sensible person'. And on the question of Fowler: 'No argument. There is not a glaring error in grammar or style of which an example could not be found in a famous writer. The quality of their [?], like Homer, nods.'.…

The third letter gives an excellent indication of Birkett's pride in his use of language. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient Vere Henry Collins (1872-1966), was an author and grammatical stickler. All three signed 'Norman Birkett'. In fair condition, lightly aged and little grubby. The first letter with a small hole to one corner, and the two leaves of the last letter held together with a pin. ONE: ALS, 9 July 1953. 1pp, 4to. He is adding Collins's book to his 'select library on "words"'. 'I am afrait that "finalise" is in frequent use as "I was sent to finalise the arrangements", and it is often used by witnesses in court, and sometimes (not without protest from me) by barristers.' He ends: 'But the purpose of this letter is to thank you, if somewhat belatedly, for the interest you took in the subject of my address, and for your kindness in writing to me.' TWO: ANS, 14 July 1953. 1p, 4to. He has no objection if Collins adds the note he sends him 'to the book now at the printers'. He will get 'One Word and Another' when it is published. THREE: ALS, 11 May 1954. 3pp, 4to. He will read the book Collins has sent him with great pleasure, 'for, as you know, anything written about words has a great fascination for me'. Turning to Collins's 'criticism of some remarks of mine uttered in the course of an after-dinner speech', which have appeared without Birkett's knowledge or consent, he is for the most part in agreement, 'but I take it a little hard that the unpremeditated effusion of the moment should be treated as though it were a carefully prepared essay. I will say no extempore speech can survive a scrutiny such as the scrutiny you send to me.' With regard to Collins's seven points, he feels he should 'keep in mind the difficulties of extempore speaking. The perfect word does not always come readily to the tongue. The sentences do not always flow as one could wish, and the "verbal expert" seated in his comfortable study might make a little allowance for human frailty!' In the following paragraph he turns the tables on Collins, analysing his use of language in his letter to Birkett. With a veiled criticism of Collins he explains how 'the lover of words (as I am) can become a "tiresome pedant" ' Collins's criticism has clearly hit home, as Birkett adds a fourteen-line postscript in his distinctive close hand, ending: 'I cannot even be sure that the reporter took down accurately what I did say: I had no notes, and never dreamt that what I said would receive this unwanted publicity, and subject me to the criticism of lovers of good English!'.…

The signatures feature with no other text on a single page, on one side of a 15 x 18 cm leaf of thickish cream paper removed from an album. In fair condition, aged, and dusty, with slight pinkish-red staining on edges, and not near any of the signatures. The signatories are: 'Hugh Walpole', 'Dunsany' [Lord Dunsany], 'Alec Waugh/', 'V S Pritchett', 'Lionel Hale.', 'Norman Collins', 'Philip Jordan' [Philip Furneaux Jordan (1902-1951), journalist and author], 'A. G. Macdonell.', 'Ivor Brown', 'J. B. Priestley', 'C. S. Forester'. The two largest signatures are those of Walpole, at top left, and J. B. Priestley, the second from last, at foot. In contrast with Walpole's signature, Alec Waugh's beneath it is microscopic. On the reverse are the large bold signatures of the baritone 'H. Lane Wilson' and the soprano 'Pauline Donalda'. …
