Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the second issue of SoJourn, a journal dedicated to publishing articles describing the history, culture, and geography of South Jersey--the eight southernmost counties of New Jersey. This issue reaches back to the eighteenth century, albeit through discussion of a mid-nineteenth century novel, and stretches forward to the summer of 2016, describing a day spent with a Leeds Point crabber. Essays touch upon local industries--sawmills, fishing, crabbing and fruitpicking--upon art--architecture, literature and, again, fruitpicking--and also upon notable citizens--Margaret Mead, the Rev. Jeremiah H. Pierce, and four generations of Butcher MDs.…

First Dolmen edition of the Táin Bó Cúailnge ("The Cattle Raid of Cooley"), an ancient Irish epic set in the heroic age of the pre-Christian first century. This copy of the great livre d'artiste by the translator Thomas Kinsella and the illustrator Louis le Brocquy includes an autograph letter signed by Kinsella, offering his personal definition of poetry. Addressed to one Michael Gallagher and dated 15 December 1979, the letter reads in part: "In my opinion, poetry is: the concentration of intense linguistic equivalents of encounters, continuous or otherwise, between a poet and his or her significant experience, in pursuit of an impulse to elicit order from that experience, with a view to (a) acceptance on the basis of some kind of understanding and (b) the communication of all this." According to le Brocquy's artist note printed in the book, "The illustrations of early Celtic manuscripts express not personality but temperament. They provide not graphic comment on the text but an extension of it. If [my] images - these marks in printer's ink - form an extension to Thomas Kinsella's Táin, they are a humble one. It is as shadows thrown by the text that they derive their substance" (p. 295). Begun in 1954, the project had a revitalizing effect on Irish mythology and culture, inspiring artists such as the sculptor Conor Fallon, composer Aloys Fleischmann, Celtic rock band Horslips, and playwright Joe O'Byrne. The limited edition was printed by the Dolmen Press in a run of 1,750 copies, of which 750 were exported for America, as here. A paperback edition followed in 1970, which popularized the text for a mass audience, but which contained a small fraction of the illustrations. Dolmen 154. Quarto. Illustrated throughout after graphic brush drawings by le Brocquy, 3 photographic half-tone plates after the medieval manuscripts, 2 colour maps by John McCarthy. Book design by Liam Miller. Text printed in red and black. Original black buckram, spine lettered in white, device stamped on front cover in white, black endpapers. With dust jacket and the publisher's black card slipcase printed in white with le Brocquy's illustration "Army Massing". Spine head bumped; jacket with a couple of nicks and gentle scratches; minor rubbing to slipcase: overall, near-fine.…
