- Used
London: Edward Arnold, 1910. FIRST EDITION, later issue. 183 x 122 mm. (7 1/4 x 4 3/4"). [iv], 343 pp., [4], 8 pp. (ads). HANDSOME RED MOROCCO BY BAYNTUN-RIVIERE (stamp-signed on front turn-in), covers with single gilt rule, raised bands, compartments ruled in gilt with gilt lettering, turn-ins ruled in gilt, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Contents with a hint of foxing here and there, the odd negligible blemish, but a FINE, FRESH COPY inside and out, THE BINDING PRISTINE. This is an attractively bound first edition of the exploration of conflicts between humanist and materialist values widely considered the masterpiece of one of the most important novelists of the 20th century. Cambridge-educated Edward Morgan Forster (1879-1970) here contrasts the the bohemian Schlegel sisters to the wealth-conscious Wilcoxes, and confirms DNB's observation that he "spoke for liberal humanism." Lord Annan wrote, "No one wrote with greater simplicity or originality in defence of such well-worn concepts as liberty, democracy, and tolerance. . . . He distrusted size, pomp, the Establishment, empires, politics, the upper classes, planners, institutions. He put his trust in individuals, small groups and insignificant people, the life of the heart and mind, personal relations.

(8 x 5 1/8"). 5 p.l., 371 pp. FINE CONTEMPORARY BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO, raised bands, spine gilt in compartments with filigree cornerpieces, gilt titling, turn-ins with decorative gilt roll, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Petersen A34c. ◆Just a breath of wear to the binding, but a near-mint copy, pristine internally. This is a desirable signed copy of the second volume in Faulkner's "Snopes" trilogy, a work written near the end of his storied career. As ANB observes, "Faulkner drew on the history of his region, its brief rise and its rapid fall; on its rich oral traditions, "the rag-tag and bob-ends of old tales and talkings" (as he called them in 'Absalom, Absalom!') that he had begun gathering from the air in his seemingly misspent boyhood and youth; on its customs, mores, folkways, and dialects; and even on its vegetation, geography, and wildlife. Faulkner's fiction conveys a sense of the past and its force.".

He specialized in sculpture and printmaking, employing the method of direct carving he helped pioneer and for which he would predominantly be known. Following the Second World War, Gross became increasingly interested in Jewish subjects, and travelled to Israel…

This is the first printing of Joyce's masterpiece actually to be done in Ireland--75 years after its initial publication. Generally recognized as the most important 20th-century novel in English, Joyce's chronicle of Leopold Bloom's odyssey through Dublin excited much controversy upon publication in 1922 and was for years a target of censorship, especially in the U.S. and U.K. The present edition also met with some animosity when it was discovered that the editor, prominent Joyce scholar Danis Rose, used some language…
