Doom of Youth

Biblioctopus (United States)
Description
London: Chatto and Windus, 1932. First Edition. A little soiling to the boards, else near fine in a spine-toned, good dust jacket with a few short tears with archival reinforcement and shallow loss at the spine ends. Originally suppressed due to a lawsuit brought by Alec Waugh who felt he had been maligned in the book. A caustic polemic against the interwar cult of youth, wherein Lewis attempts to dismantle what he perceives as a pernicious cultural ideology that fetishizes adolescence while systematically disenfranchising mature adults. Lewis's reactionary iconoclasm positioned him as a conspicuous anomaly within the predominantly leftist literary landscape of the 1930s, prompting W.H. Auden to memorably describe him as "that lonely old volcano of the Right;" a characterization that captures both his ideological isolation among his modernist peers and the eruptive force of his combative temperament.

Description
London: Rudolph Ackermann , 1835. More Rare, Valued Higher" With Three Plates Only Found Here (Tooley) [ALKEN, Henry, illustrator]. APPERLEY, C.J. Memoirs of the Life of the Late John Mytton, Esq., of Halston, Shropshire; Formerly M.P. for Shrewsbury, High Sheriff for the Counties of Salop & Merioneth, and Major in the North Shropshire Yeomanry Cavalry. With Notices of His Hunting, Shooting, Driving, Racing, and Extravagant Exploits By Nimrod. With Numerous Illustrations by Alken. Reprinted from the New Sporting Magazine. London: Rudolph Ackermann, 1835. First edition. Octavo (8 1/4 x 5 3/8 in; 210 x 136 mm.). iv, [2, Preface], [1]-110 pp. Twelve hand-colored aquatint plates (including frontispiece) all with tissue guards. Publisher's original blind stamped pebble-grain brown cloth with title in gilt within ornamental gilt frame. Smooth spine, publisher's gray endpapers with engraved bookplate of Charles George Milnes Gaskell on front paste-down.Expertly and almost invisibly rebacked with the original spine laid down, slight splitting to free endpapers. The hand colored plates are bright and fresh. An excellent copy, housed in a later fleece-lined, green cloth fold-over case, spine lettered in gilt (front hinge slightly split but quite sound). "Though containing only 12 plates, this first edition is more rare, and valued higher than the second edition which contains 18 plates. Three plates of this first edition, namely 2 [Mytton shooting in Winter], 8 [Blood on the Bull Dog], and 9 [Mytton masters the savage dog], did not appear in the second edition. A most valuable and important book for the sporting life of the period, aptly described by Newton as 'a biography of a man that reads like a work of fiction'" (Tooley). "This is not a work of fiction, for John Mytton, a rather inglorious character for a biography, was a hard-living, hard-drinking country squire of Halston, Shropshire, capable of the utmost physical endurance, and ready to accept any wager to walk, shoot or ride against any man. Many of his feats are recorded and graphically delineated, including the climax of his folly in setting his nightshirt on fire to cure a hiccough (Martin Hardie, pp. 185/186). Bobins III, 1174; Podeschi 147; Schwerdt I, p. 38; Siltzer p.73; Tooley 66.

Description
Chicago: [self published], 1889. First edition. Fine. One of 250 copies printed for subscribers, this number 139. Signed by the printer, John Wilson & Son before the list of subscribers. Exquisitely bound by Ringer Bindery (Chicago) in full crushed blue morocco, marbled end papers, top edge gilt. Ruled in gilt with raised bands, gilt titles to spine and decorations in the spine compartments. The author has written out the final stanza of "Buttercup, Poppy, Forget-Me-Not" on the front black, decorated in red and gold ink and signed by Eugene Field. The second book published by the author, and a major factor in Eugene Field's rise to literary celebrity. Though he'd been known in the Midwest as a journalist and editor, A Little Book of Western Verse drew attention to his skill and wit as a lyricist. Most of his poems were about childhood and children -- with inspiration coming directly from his own. Works such as Little Boy Blue and Wynken, Blynken, and Nod, which were written for their amusement, resulted in his being known as "The Poet of Childhood" (Denver Library). Fine.
