Title: A CURIOUS DANCE ROUND A CURIOUS TREE
Author: Dickens, Charles
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1860. [London: St. Luke's Hospital, 1860.] Original pale pink wrappers. First Edition, second and usual issue -- with the final paragraph in bold (not like the rest of the text), with the wrapper pink (not mauve -- though all are today faded), with the front cover title followed by a comma (not by a period), and with the front cover border decorative only at the corners (not all 'round). Dickens describes the wretched conditions inside St. Luke's Hospital ("established in 1751, for the treatment and care of lunatics"), and in particular the "very sad and touching spectacle" of the annual Christmas Ball there (dancing around the Christmas tree). He actually wrote the original piece in 1852, at which time it appeared in his Household Words (Dickens's authorship was questioned until 1913, when the original manuscript -- in his hand -- turned up). It is here published in book form for the first time, eight years later, when Dickens gave permission for the hospital to use it as a fundraising appeal. The hospital added two items to update the piece: an article about the 1860 Ball from the "Times," plus a brief article "Contrast between 1852 and 1860," in which the hospital asserts that many of the deficiencies cited by Dickens have since been addressed. (The results of the initial mailing were not good -- which is why for this second issue, the final paragraph, the actual appeal, was highlighted in bold.) This is a fine copy of this very fragile item, with scarcely any wear, soil, or foxing; as usual, the pink wrappers have faded. (Tipped to a corner of the inside front wrapper is an old but hyperbolic catalogue description.) As with almost all copies, there is a vertical crease, because the booklet was folded vertically when the fundraising appeal was mailed out in narrow envelopes. Uncommon in this condition. Podeschi (Yale) B216 (second copy); Carr (U of Texas) B465; Eckel pp 188-191. Housed in a cloth clamshell case lined with felt.

Title: Ida Lupino, Forgotten Auteur
Author: Seros, Alexandra
Seller: Biblioctopus (United States)
Description: Austin: University of Texas Press, 2024. First Edition. First printing. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Signed by Seros on the title page. The book features over 150 photographs and archival documents providing vital historical context. As Seros notes, "Seeing the documents is as important as reading about them... through them, Lupino's voice will become clearer." In screenwriter Alexandra Seros' meticulous analysis of Ida Lupino's career, we see a compelling portrait of a filmmaker who transcended the gendered constraints of post-World War II Hollywood through strategic self-fashioning and sheer professional determination. Seros, whose PhD in cinema and media studies informs her scholarly approach, reveals how Lupino's multifaceted identity—as actress, director, producer, writer, mother, and wife—created what she aptly terms a "pixelated legacy," but one that deserves recognition for its groundbreaking achievements in both film and television. Through exhaustive archival research and close textual analysis, Seros demonstrates how Lupino's directorial approach, characterized by restraint, empathy, and ambiguous endings, challenged conventional representations of women during a period of significant social transition. Lupino's remarkable career trajectory, as Seros convincingly argues, positions her as a collaborative auteur whose working method anticipated contemporary understandings of authorship in film and television. Moving seamlessly between directing independent films and television episodes, Lupino maintained creative control while nurturing collaborative relationships with her artistic partners. As Seros notes, Lupino was "mother to the guerrilla alliance of directors, writers, cameramen, editors, and musicians who worked in film and television," embracing a collaborative approach that allowed her to tackle controversial subjects through her distinctive documentary-influenced aesthetic. Seros' scholarship makes a significant contribution to film history by recovering Lupino's voice from the "silences that affected the reception of her work." By examining both Lupino's independent films and her extensive television output, Seros illuminates how Lupino balanced motherhood and a demanding career during a period when women were expected to remain in the domestic sphere. Lupino's pragmatic approach represents what Seros frames as an early feminist strategy for professional survival. As Seros concludes, although Lupino "would not have recognized her career as unparalleled or revolutionary, it was," presenting "a woman's point of view to millions of film and television viewers during a period when women's issues were usually defined by the men in power," making her "the face of a new, collaborative auteurism.
