    In uniform contemporary bindings --- The first posthumous edition of the collected works of this important author, which among others includes such well-known dramas as 'Bednaia nevesta' [The Poor Bride] and 'Volki i ovtsi' [Wolves and Sheep]. Author of more than 40 plays and translations of further ones, Ostrovskii (1823-86) almost single-handedly created a Russian national repertoire. His dramas, many of which are concerned with the Russian merchant class, are among the most widely read and frequently performed stage pieces in Russia: "they provide, along with Shakespeare, the bulk of the classical repertoire of the Russian stage" (Terras, 371). Provenance: A. (lettered in gilt at foot spines); Avenir Nizoff (a pianist who lived in Edmonton, Canada, in the second half of the 20th century, and gathered a large, wide-ranging library of Russian works, especially covering art, history and literature). Physical description:Ten parts in 6 volumes 8vo (22.5 x 16 cm). Title, LVII pp. incl. engraved portrait frontispiece, 331; [4], 334, [4], 407; [4], 267, [4], 288; [4], 432, [4], 367; [4], 504; [4], including frontispiece, 652 pp. Contemporary brown grained half sheep over burgundy cloth, spines with raised bands, lettered in gilt, decorated endpapers, green bookmarks. Condition:Bindings a bit brittle, as result lightly rubbed and scratched, minor worming to endpapers of vol 1; some spotting or foxing throughout, sometimes stronger, small ink stamps "M4"to the last pages of the parts, vol.5-6 with waterstain to upper margin. Bibliography:Terras, pp. 292 and 371-375.

    Large 8vo, pp. 128; some light spotting and staining, but a very good copy in Russian contemporary quarter sheep, marbled paper boards, minor repairs to spine.First edition. A rare early play by one of the leading Russian playwrights of the 19th century. Ostrovsky's second play, The Poor Bride, was first published in the literary magazine The Muscovite (edited by Mikhail Pogodin) earlier in 1852. Initially banned from production by the censor, it was one of Ostrovsky's first plays to be produced on stage, at the Maly Theatre, Moscow, in 1853. From this date until his death no year passed without a new play by Ostrovsky appearing on the stage of the Imperial theatres. 'The Poor Bride realistically shows the unfortunate position of women in Ostrovsky's time, whose only hope of economic security was in marrying for money, not love. Though at moments the author parodies the romantic archetype, he states no thesis, but merely implies one in the relentless realism characteristic of both his first plays' (Terras). Not in Kilgour or Smirnov-Sokol'skii. OCLC records copies at University of Melbourne, Library of Congress, Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina, and Columbia.
