Sehr schöner, sauberer Zustand, attraktives Expl. mit vielen farbigen Bildtafeln. Pierce Egan (17721849) was an early British journalist, sportswriter, and writer on popular culture. He was born in the London suburbs, where he spent his life. By 1812 he had established himself as the country`s leading `reporter of sporting events`, which at the time meant mainly prize-fights and horse-races. The result of these reports, which won him a countrywide reputation for wit and sporting knowledge, appeared in the four volumes of Boxiana, or, Sketches of Modern Pugilism, which appeared, lavishly illustrated, between 1818-24. It was Egan who first defined boxing as the sweet science. In 1821 he announced the publication of a regular journal: Life in London, appearing monthly at a shilling a time. It was to be illustrated by George Cruikshank (1792-1878), who had succeeded the illustrators Hogarth and Rowlandson as London`s leading satirist of urban life. The journal was dedicated to the King, George IV, who at one time had received Egan at court. The first edition of Life in London or, the Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, esq., and his elegant friend, Corinthian Tom, accompanied by Bob Logic, the Oxonian, in their rambles and Sprees through the Metropolis appeared on 15 July, 1821. Egan`s creation was an enormous, instant success, with its circulation mounting every month. Pirate versions appeared, featuring such figures as `Bob Tallyho`, `Dick Wildfire` and the like. Print-makers speedily knocked off cuts featuring the various `stars` and the real-life public flocked to the `sporting` addresses that Egan had his heroes frequent. There was a translation into French. At least six plays were based on Egan`s characters, contributing to yet more sales. One of these was exported to America, launching the `Tom and Jerry` craze there. The version created by William Moncrieff (1794-1857) - one of contemporary London`s most successful dramatists and theatrical managers and a man whose knowledge of London and of its slang equalled Egan`s - was praised, not without justification, as `The Beggar`s Opera of its day`. Moncrieff`s production of Tom and Jerry, or, Life in London ran continuously at the Adelphi Theatre for two seasons and it was the dramatist`s work as much as the author`s that did so much to popularize the book`s trademark use of fashionable slang. >Life in London< appeared until 1828, when Egan closed it down. The publisher (and slang lexicographer) John Camden Hotten brought out a reprint in 1869, but the work had already established itself as a literary influence. The rip-roaring world it portrayed undoubtedly prefigures that of Dickens` Pickwick Papers (published just eight years after Tom and Jerry); Cruikshank`s illustrations, of course, helped both men with their success. Nor did `Tom and Jerry` vanish with Egan: the celebrated duo have been perpetuated in Warner Brothers` cartoon cat and mouse and as the male protagonists of BBC television`s Seventies` sitcom The Good Life.

Leather. Zustand: Good. None (illustrator). An uncommon copy of this sequel to Pierce Egan's popular work, Life in London. The phrase 'Tom and Jerry' and British usage of 'Tom and Jerry shop' originate from Pierce Egan's fictional work set in London. Without the illustrations called for. Pierce Egan was a popular British journalist, sports writer, and cultural commentator of the early nineteenth centuries. His popular book, Life in London depicted two young encountering both high and low life as they progress through London. The play adaptation of this work was the first play to have a continuous run of one hundred performances, but the lack of copyright protection meant that the book was pirated and plagiarised. Egan includes a riposte to the imitators and pirates in the present volume. Rebound in the publisher's original black calf binding over red cloth boards. Externally, sound.
