Bound in woodblock-printed polychrome wraps, with the poet's name written in ink along the spine. Only slight abrasions at the head, else about fine. The notable bibliographer Bartolommeo Gamba curated this collection of poems by his neighbor in the town of Bassano del Grappa, Giuseppe Bombardini. Bombardini's day job was in local government, rising finally to the rank of "podestà," the equivalent of the mayoralty. Among the poems written to commemorate weddings and funerals, we find Romantic sonnets dedicated to the summer night, to the Brenta, to two roses, to the month of May.

GEORGE'S MOTHER by Crane, Stephen

Seller: Sumner & Stillman

Title: GEORGE'S MOTHER
Author: Crane, Stephen
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1896. New York / London: Edward Arnold, 1896. 8 pp undated ads. Original tan cloth. First Edition of Crane's fourth book (just after THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE). This is a tale of a church-going mother and her idealistic expectations for her saloon-going son (Crane's mother and brother are much in evidence). Like Crane's first book, MAGGIE (A Girl of the Streets), this is a tale of the degradation of life in the slums of New York City's Bowery. GEORGE'S MOTHER has received almost no critical consideration at all, although it is eminently more satisfactory in its realism, more convincing in characterization, and less bizarre in style than MAGGIE... The depiction of the relationship between George and his mother is not only decidedly superior in its elaboration and psychology to that between Maggie and her mother, but is also Crane's most significant exploration of the relationship between parents and children. [Brennan] In 1900 (the year of Crane's death from consumption at age 28), Heinemann of London published these two novellas together, as BOWERY TALES. This is a near-fine copy -- spine slightly darkened as usual, but without soil or wear. Williams & Starrett 6; Blanck 4073. Provenance: bookplate of Syracuse attorney Ephraim James Page (1867-1950).
