The Malone Society has been endeavouring for some seventy years to set this position to rights, but its series of reprints is still flawed by serious, if understandable, gaps. Among the earlier plays, both Henry Medwall's I and II Nature and I and II Fulgens and Lucres are missing; and so is John Skelton's Magnyficence. Among the later plays Thomas Lupton's All for Money is missing and so is George Walpull's The Tyde Taryeth no Man; for both these plays students have thus to turn to the Shakespeare Jahrbuch editions of 1904 and 1907. They are similarly dependent, as things stand now, on early foreign editions for access to Medwall's Nature (Brandl's and Bang's) and the anonymous Godly Queen Hester (Bang's). - Wikipedia: Glynne William Gladstone Wickham (15 May 192227 January 2004) was a British Shakespearean and theatre scholar.

Description: First Edition ( 'First published 1981' ). 'Shakespeare Survey is a yearbook of Shakespeare studies and production. Since 1948 Survey has published the best international scholarship in English and many of its essays have become classics of Shakespeare criticism. Each volume is devoted to a theme, or play, or group of plays; each also contains a section of reviews of the previous year's textual and critical studies and of major British performances. The books are illustrated with a variety of Shakespearean images and production photographs. The current editor of Survey is Peter Holland. The first eighteen volumes were edited by Allardyce Nicoll, numbers 19-33 by Kenneth Muir and numbers 34-52 by Stanley Wells. The virtues of accessible scholarship and a keen interest in performance, from Shakespeare's time to our own, have characterised the journal from the start.' So this was the first Survey edited by Stanley Wells. You can see the covers in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright. There is very little wear, the small crease at the front top edge just adjacent to the spine, a little of the usual crinkling and bending at the spine ends. The cover edges are in excellent shape. The cover corners are in excellent shape, no rubbing. There is a little crease below the front and rear top corners. The page edges look very good. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover. The covers are nicely, tightly bound. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling. There are several groups of consecutive pages that have a thin crease coming down an inch or a few inches from their top edges. In no instance does this interfere with one's ability to read. There's also a semi-crease on a good number of the top corners, the kind of crease you see the resulting from a bump to the covers corners. I didn't see any turned-down corners are placeholder creases. There is a stamp from the previous owner, a Gordon Weston. It gives his address in New York City along with his phone number back in 1989. I googled it for the heck of it and he is still there with the same phone number, 94 years of age. He also stamped the same information on the title page. There are no other stampings or markings to be found anywhere in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. And no writing of any kind. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is very clean. It is in very nice shape. There is a slight bit of scuffing at the top edge of the spine. The flaps are in good shape, just a little crinkling at their top edges. The jacket is not priced or clipped. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned.

Description: nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - William Collins and Eighteenth-Century English Poetry was first published in 1981. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.William Collins (1721-1759) is one of several eighteenth-century poets who have received more attention for what they are said to have anticipated-the full-blooded Romanticism of Wordsworth and Coleridge-than for what they have achieved. Collins's career as a poet was brief, but the handful of major poems that he wrote in the mid -1740s has stirred interest among critics intrigued by the complexity and obscurity of his work and by the illness and possible madness that prematurely ended his life. Combining historical scholarship with close readings of all Collins's poems, Richard Wendorf provides the most comprehensive and detailed study to be devoted to the work of this enigmatic figure and to the forces that shaped his literary career. In doing so, he places Collins within an eighteenth-century poetic context and shows that his gift for myth-making makes him a vital link between the mythic poetry of Shakespeare and Spenser and that of the Romantics.Wendorf's opening and closing chapters examine the relationship between Collins's life and his work, providing an authoritative discussion of his supposed madness and of the myths of insanity that clouded his reputation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Wendorf argues that Collins's madness is problematical at best, and that much recent criticism is a distortion of his major work, which explores the transcendent powers of the irrational forces within us but is not necessarily the product of madness itself. The book's central chapters trace Collins's development as a poet and offer fresh approaches to his major odes. In these mature poems he turned from his early interest in Augustan poetry to very different sources of inspiration and came to reject the ordered and unified natural world of Pope and Thompson.

The culmination of over twenty years of research, these volumes are packed with new information and identifications. Martin Butlin has divided the catalogue into sections corresponding to phases in Blake's artistic career and has considered groups of related works together. For each entry there is full information on size, medium and techniques, date history, and other pertinent data. Where appropriate, there is also a discussion of the relationship of the work to Blake's thought and writings and an explanation of its symbolism and significance. Every traceable work is reproduced (with the exception of a few series that have been fully published elsewhere) and a large proportion of them are in colour.
