"In 1823, about half a century before Velasco published his inaugural translation, we find an article that highlights the need for a 'poetic translation' of Shakespeare's works. The author of the article was Joseph Blanco White, priest, journalist, political and religious thinker, literary critic, and translator. He was born in Seville, in 1775. At that time, his name was José Maria Blanco. His paternal grandfather, William White, had come to Spain from Ireland in the early 18th century to run a mercantile house, and, at some point, the family name was changed to 'Blanco' (Spanish for 'White'). José María had a strict Catholic formation, but, profoundly disappointed with the Church and with Spanish politics, he moved to London in 1810, he converted to Protestantism and he changed his name to Joseph Blanco White. He kept both the Spanish and the English versions of his name side by side, and this doubling reflects an awareness of the double context in which he was writing. He becomes deeply interested in British literature, particularly in the new Romantic ideas, but he never lost sight of the situation in Spain He was concerned with the relations between the Peninsula and its Spanish-American colonies, and he enthusiastically wrote in support of the colonies' autonomy from the Central Council at Seville. In fact, he published his proposal for translating Shakespeare poetically in the quarterly Variedades o Mensagero de Londres, a journal he edited for the London printing house of Rudolph Ackermann but which was addressed to Spanish-American readers. This context is important for understanding Blanco White's theoretical stance. His contact with Romanticism, for instance, gave him tools to defend Shakespeare against the attacks of French and Spanish neoclassicists. He explains that a 'poetic translation' has the benefit of conveying the general 'tone of thought' and the transcendent 'originality of Shakespeare's genius'- even when it cannot reproduce his 'particular beauties' which, for Blanco White, are inseparable from the language in which they were written. But the proposal to translate Shakespeare's works as poetry- by which he meant lyric poetry-has other implicit benefits: it displaces the focus away from the terrain of the theatre and from the standards of unity and decorum that were the stronghold of neoclassicism. Indeed, he explicitly argues that Shakespeare's genius stands apart from the 'frenzies' of the theatre of his time." (The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare Poetry Pg 696-697). HBS 66900. $4,500.

Description: San Francisco: Book Club of California, 1981 One of 750 copies printed at the Grace Hoper Press, whose proprietor, Sherwood Grover, had once worked for the Grabhorns. Quarter natural linen over patterned boards, gilt spine. Quarto. Twenty pages of illustrations, including mostly of pages of books from Grabhorn Press. Index. Printed in black and red. Fine in plain paper dust jacket. The definitive history of the Grabhorn Press, from its founding in 1912 in Indianapolis, through five decades in San Francisco, up to the death of Edwin Grabhorn in 1968. This is much an essay about people as about books. Books were their lives. But they were human beings, greatly talented human beings, motivated as are we all by the emotions of love, kindness, pride, ambition, pity, jealousy, and every other ennobling and belittling drive. From them and their humanity came great books".

Title: St. Louis: A City in Decay" in Forum Magazine (November 1939); Also "California's 'Grapes of Wrath'.
Seller: Alcuin Books, ABAA-ILAB (United States)
Description: New York: Forum Magazine, 1939. Quarto. This article shows why St. Louis was already in decay though at the time it was the eighth largest city in the country. There is a reason its Art Museum never flourished, and its director was fortunate to escape to the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. It is understandable that T.S. Eliot and Tennessee Williams both flourished once they left the intellectual sterility of the city. This article traces the roots of that problem. P. 200-206. Strangely there is also an article by Frank J. Taylor, "California's 'Grapes of Wrath'," which attempts to deny the reactionary attempt to create the repression against the Oakies and their companions whose main crime was attempting to find economic survival in a system weighed against them. In reality, the power brokers in Bakersfield forced the Public Library system to remove all their copies but they did send them to all the other libraries in rural California. It is difficult to believe but the ad on page 1 offers signed original lithographs of Grant Wood "Fertility", Thomas Hart Benton "Frisky Day", and others at $5 each from the Associated American Artists. Bound in red, white and black paper wraps, some wear to spine ends, yapped edges with tiny edge tear. A very good copy.
