Description
Covelo, California: The Yolla Bolly Press, 1992. Signed limited edition. Fine. One of thirty-five deluxe copies bound in vellum, this being copy number two, in a total edition of 130. Signed by Leonard Baskin and editor John Fowles on the colophon. Each deluxe copy includes a suite of nine unbound signed prints by Leonard Baskin and is housed in a bay laurel and cedar wood box. A Fine copy, illustrated throughout with woodcuts by Baskin. D.H. Lawrence's short novel The Man Who Died was originally published as The Escaped Cock in 1929. Inspired by a visit to Etruscan tombs in 1927, the novel retells the resurrection of Christ to reflect on life, death, myth-making, and "the despairing, almost hectic seriousness with which Lawrence saw mankind's deep-rooted psychological and emotional problems" (Fowles, p. 100). This edition, which is illustrated throughout with the striking, energetic woodcuts of Leonard Baskin, was finely printed by Aaron Johnson at the Yolla Bolly Press using Bembo type on mold-made Somerset paper, with handmade endpapers from the Twinrocker Paper Mill. The elegant vellum binding of the deluxe issue was done by Renee Menge. In his commentary on The Man Who Died, editor John Fowles quotes Richard Adlington's perspective on the novel: "It is intensely personal, and the saddest thing Lawrence ever wrote. It is the only thing in his work that looks like a confession of defeat...The opening part when he describes the mingled agony and gradual happiness in creeping back from death to life is full of pathos; one can't help thinking of his own sufferings as he recovered from one or other of his serious crises. Like much of Lawrence's writing, it has more than one meaning. You can take it as an expression of his latest feelings about Jesus - a rejection of Jesus as a teacher, an acceptance of Jesus as the lover...Even when he was struggling with the problem of love and hatred, Lawrence was always a great lover; his deepest and most passionate belief was in love" (p. 101). Fine.
