He also wrote a series of librettos for Benjamin Britten. He wrote some of his poetry under the pseudonym Robert Pagan. Born of British parents in Transvaal Colony, he moved to England in 1929 after spending a few years in Japan. Although not as well known as many of his peers, he is recognised as a modernist and his work was highly esteemed by other writers, including Virginia Woolf and Nadine Gordimer. He was homosexual, and at least one of his novels portrays a gay relationship, but whether he lived as openly gay himself is unclear.

It is surprisingly scarce. However, the first Canadian edition appears to match the pagination of the first trade edition from The Hogarth Press, i.e. 172 pages. This printing has the 199 + 3 blank pages of the Harcourt edition (it had 13 reprints between November, 1929 and 1953). Note: the bibliographer, Kirkpatrick [see A12 ], did not cite a Canadian edition until the revised bibliography.

Best known for his novels including Brave New World and a wide-ranging output of essays, Huxley also edited the magazine Oxford Poetry, and published short stories, poetry, travel writing, film stories and scripts. Huxley spent the later part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death. Aldous Huxley was a humanist, pacifist, and satirist, and he was latterly interested in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology and philosophical mysticism. He is also well known for advocating and taking psychedelics. By the end of his life Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent intellectuals of his time and respected as an important researcher into visual communication and sight-related theories as well. (source. Wik.) Chatto & Windus has been, since 1987, an imprint of Random House, publishers. It was originally an important publisher of books in London, founded in the Victorian era. The firm developed out of the legitimate publishing business of John Camden Hotten, founded in 1855. After his death in 1873, it was sold to Hotten's junior partner Andrew Chatto (18411913) who took on the minor poet W. E. Windus as partner. Chatto & Windus published Mark Twain, W. S. Gilbert, Wilkie Collins, H.G. Wells, Richard Aldington, Frederick Rolfe (as Fr. Rolfe), Aldous Huxley, Samuel Beckett, the famous 'unfinished' novel Weir of Hermiston (1896) by Robert Louis Stevenson, and the first translation into English of Marcel Proust's novel À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past, C. K. Scott-Moncrieff, 1922), amongst others. In 1946, the company took over the running of the Hogarth Press, founded in 1917 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Active as an independent publishing house until 1969, when it merged with Jonathan Cape, it published broadly in the field of literature, including novels and poetry. It is not connected, except in the loosest historical fashion, with Pickering & Chatto Publishers. (sourc. Wik.) Sprache: Englisch

G. BINKERT / TITEL UND EINBAND VON E. PREETORIUS. (Impressum) --- "James Joyce, Ulysses. Vom Verfasser geprüfte definitive deutsche Ausgabe von Georg Goyert. Erster (und) zweiter Band." (Verlagstext) // James Joyce, vollständig James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (* 2. Februar 1882 in Rathgar, Dublin; 13. Januar 1941 in Zürich, Schweiz) war ein irischer Schriftsteller. Besonders seine wegweisenden Werke Dubliner, Ulysses und Finnegans Wake verhalfen ihm zu großer Bekanntheit. Er gilt als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der literarischen Moderne. James Joyce lebte vorwiegend in Dublin, Triest, Paris und Zürich. . Joyce' berühmtestes Werk ist der Roman Ulysses, der auszugsweise in der Zeitschrift The Little Review 1918-1920 vorabgedruckt wurde, und 1922 im Verlag der Pariser Buchhandlung "Shakespeare and Company" als Buch erschien. Es entstand in den Jahren 1914 bis 1921. Die ersten Kapitel legte Harriet Weaver im April 1918 der Hogarth Press vor, doch das Verleger- und Schriftstellerehepaar Virginia und Leonard Woolf konnte sich zu einer Veröffentlichung nicht entschließen, da sie wegen des zum Teil obszönen Inhalts keinen Drucker fanden, der das Risiko auf sich nehmen wollte. Joyce beeinflusste mit seinem Ulysses die Geschichte des modernen Romans ebenso maßgeblich wie etwa Marcel Proust mit A la recherche du temps perdu (deutsch: Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit) (1913-1927). Joyce' bedeutendster Beitrag zur modernen Literatur bestand im Einsatz des stream of consciousness (Bewusstseinsstrom) bzw. des inneren Monologs. Joyce hatte diese literarische Technik zwar nicht erfunden, jedoch erstmals konsequent angewandt und bedeutend weiterentwickelt. Beispielsweise besteht das letzte Kapitel des Romans ausschließlich aus den Gedanken Marion ("Molly") Blooms, der Frau der Hauptfigur Leopold Bloom, geschrieben in acht Sätzen ohne Interpunktionszeichen. Nach dem Protagonisten des Romans wird der 16. Juni (der Roman spielt nur innerhalb dieses einen Tages und in den Morgenstunden des folgenden im Jahr 1904) in literarischen Kreisen - auch vermehrt aus touristischen Gründen - inzwischen Bloomsday genannt.

Description: A very smart copy of this epistolary essay to regarding modern poetry, published by the Hogarth Press. The first edition, in the original paper wraps. The Hogarth Letters Number Eight. First published in The Yale Review, earlier the same year. The work acts a response to John Lehman's letter to Woolf following The Waves, in which she is asked her view on modern poetry. Lehman wanted to revitalise modern poetry, and sought Woolf, and The Hogarth Press' help, to do so. Written by the Bloomsbury author Virginia Woolf, a central figure of the literary group, herself known for her experimental writings and affair with fellow author Vita Sackville-West. Published by the Hogarth Press, the Bloomsbury publishing house founded ran by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. The press was founded in the interwar period, as printing became a hobby for the couple, diverting Virginia when her writing became too stressful. Both Woolfs' taught themselves to use a printing press, publishing 527 titles from the period of 1917 to 1946. In the original paper wraps. Externally very smart with slight creasing to the wrap. Slight browning to the wrap. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with marginal age toning. Small closed tear to half title, approximately one inch. Very Good Indeed

About Fine, tightly bound and clean throughout (apparently unread); jacket virtually pristine. Woolmer 294. According to the Literary Encyclopedia, the death of Isherwood's father in the First World War and the deep, lifelong mourning into which his mother fell provide much of the background for the family dynamics of Isherwood's early novels, including The Memorial, in which Cambridge student Eric Vernon finds himself torn between a desire to emulate his heroic father and his envy for his father's great friend Edward Blake, who survived the war only to throw himself into gay life in Berlin and the pursuit of meaningless relationships. The story is imbued with Freudian family analysis, centering on the conflict between mother and son, and rebellion against the stifling English class society into which Isherwood was born (a withering branch of a distinguished family tree that had roots in Cheshire extending back to the Civil War). In his early career Isherwood adopted the high-Modernist style of the preceding generation of English novelists, particularly Virginia Woolf (whose Hogarth Press brought out The Memorial) and D. H. Lawrence. In The Memorial, Isherwood experimented with the novel form, recombining the chapters into a non-sequential chronology. N. B.

Description: First edition of the author's classic second novel. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Christopher Isherwood on the title page. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by John Banting. Housed in a custom half morocco chemise and clamshell box. Uncommon signed. Set in the aftermath of World War I, Christopher Isherwood's The Memorial is the witty, almost forensic portrayal of the dissolution of a tradition-bound English family. On the cusp of adulthood, the Cambridge student Eric Vernon finds himself torn between his desire to emulate his heroic father, who led a life of quiet sacrifice before dying in the war, and his envy of his father's roguish friend who survived the war. Published in 1932, when Isherwood was twenty-eight years old, The Memorial is the novel in which a dazzlingly talented young writer found his literary voice, the book in which Isherwood became Isherwood.

Description: London: Leonard & Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press, 1932. First edition, 1932. Great association copy with a handwritten inscription by Lady Ottoline Morrell to her half-brother, William Arthur, Sixth Duke of Portland, with his armorial bookplate inside the front cover. Lady Ottoline was a great patron of literature and frequently hosted the Bloomsbury group, including Virginia Woolf, and developed a stormy relationship with her. In her memoirs, Lady Ottoline said: "She seemed to feel certain of her own eminence. It is true, but it is rather crushing, for I feel she is very contemptuous of other people. When I stretched out a hand to feel another woman, I found only a very lovely, clear intellect." Green cloth with gilt spine lettering, no dustjacket. Some modest shelfwear, good hinges, sound text block, clean pages. The inscription on the front free endpaper reads: "From Ottoline to my loved Brother" dated Dec 28 1932 (looks like 1922 but that is before the book was published). Below the bookplate is a bookseller ticket from London. Association Copy. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
