RODDEN, John

The Politics of Literary Reputation. The Making and Claiming of 'St. George' Orwell

Oxford University Press, Oxford University Press. 1989, xiii,478pp. Illustrated. Cloth. Dust jacket with signs of use. Book in good condition. "This is a fascinating study - part biography, part cultural history - about George Orwell and his literary reputation. No one gained such sudden fame as Orwell did in the United States after publication of his two most important works, "Animal Farm" and "1984". In addition, no contemporary literary figure has continued to have such a strong reputation for such a long time. Rodden's book is partly about the nature of literary reputations how they are established and maintained. But more important is the question of Orwell's career and influence how he has been perceived and adopted by political factions from left to right; the development of his literary career, and the immense influence he has had in the United States.".

Rural Life, Described and Illustrated in the Management of Horses, Dogs, Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Poultry, &C.

London, London Printing and Publishing Company Limited, c1870. Cloth. A lavishly illustrated work on the management of various farm animals in rural England, written by John Sherer, illustrated by Edwin and Thomas Landseer. Illustrations include three folding plates.

This work is a comprehensive and informative guide to the keeping and management of horses, dogs, cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, and other animals that are commonly kept on a farm. Volume I with nine plates. Volume II with eleven plates. Volumes III with twelve plates. Volume IV with twelve plates. Volume V with eighteen plates, three of which are folding. Illustrated throughout by Edwin Landseer, and engraved by Thomas Landseer. Edwin is best known for his paintings of animals, as well as for his impressive lion sculptures in Trafalgar Square. His work was popular in Victorian Britain, and was the most highly regarded animal painter of his time. His brother, Thomas, often worked with him by engraving his paintings, which meant that their work could be widely used as illustrations in books. Thomas studied painting under Charles and William Bewick, beginning to practice etching when he was fourteen. Written by John Sherer. Undated, dated from Copac from copies held at Edinburgh University, and London School of Economics. Collated, complete. In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Tidemarking and discolouration to the boards. A little bumping to the head and tail of the spines and to the extremities. The odd spot to the fore edge. Front hinge of Volume V is starting but firm.
