Description: First edition. Number 108 of only 475 copies printed on handmade paper. Publisher's quarter cream cloth over patterned paper-covered boards, lettered in gilt on spine. A very good copy indeed, the edges a little rubbed. Grey and black and white wood-engravings by Ethelbert White. The first English translation of Goldoni's comedy "Le Donne di Buon Umore", originally published in 1748. Written only a few years after his famous "Il Servitore di Due Padroni" (adapted as "One Man, Two Guvnors", which opened to international acclaim in 2014), Goldini uses the same humour and wit to satirise the social standards of 18th century Venetian culture.

Description: 8°. XXIII, 76 pages. Original Hardcover / Quarter vellum with decorative paper-covered boards. The boards slightly bumped. The vellum spine in excellent condition. No.16 of only 75 copies printed. Signed by Arthur Symons, Ethelbert White and Richard Aldington. [The fifteenth book issued by the Beaumont Press]. Carlo Osvaldo Goldoni (25 February 1707 6 February 1793) was an Italian playwright and librettist from the Republic of Venice. His works include some of Italy's most famous and best-loved plays. Audiences have admired the plays of Goldoni for their ingenious mix of wit and honesty. His plays offered his contemporaries images of themselves, often dramatizing the lives, values, and conflicts of the emerging middle classes. Though he wrote in French and Italian, his plays make rich use of the Venetian language, regional vernacular, and colloquialisms. Goldoni also wrote under the pen name and title "Polisseno Fegeio, Pastor Arcade," which he claimed in his memoirs the "Arcadians of Rome" bestowed on him. One of his best known works is the comic play Servant of Two Masters, which has been translated and adapted internationally numerous times. In 2011, Richard Bean adapted the play for the National Theatre of Great Britain as One Man, Two Guvnors. Its popularity led to a transfer to the West End and in 2012 to Broadway.
