Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Book Six and the incomplete Book Seven of The Faerie Queene are the last sections of the unfinished poem to have been published. They show Spenser inflecting his narrative with an ever more personal note, and becoming an ever more desperate and anxious author, worried that things were falling apart as Queen Elizabeth failed in health and the Irish crisis became ever more terrifying. The moral confusion and uncertainty that Calidore, the Knight of Courtesy, has to confront are symptomatic of the lack of control that Spenser saw everywhere around him. Yet, within such a troubling and disturbing work there are moments of great beauty and harmony, such as the famous dance of the Graces that Colin Clout, the rustic alter ego of the poet himself, conjures up with his pipe. Book Seven, the Two Cantos of Mutabilitie, is among the finest of Spenser's poetic works, in which he explains the mythical origins of his world, as the gods debate on the hill opposite his Irish house. Whether order or chaos triumphs in the end has been the subject of most subsequent critical debate.

Erstausgabe
First edition, limited to 1,000 copies on handmade paper (with a further 27 on japon), a remarkably fresh set in the original unrestored wrappers of this grand production, one of Crane's most distinguished works of illustration. Crane's designs encompass both an Art Nouveau and an Arts & Crafts aesthetic - he had, of course, worked with Morris at the Kelmscott Press - and this edition of Spenser's epic was issued at the height of his fame: he had an exhibition of his work touring Europe "and he was delighted to find that German collectors and museums bought his allegorical paintings, which chimed with German symbolist work" (ODNB). It was one of his last substantial commissions. The printing was executed for the publisher by the distinguished Chiswick Press. The editor of the text was the then-esteemed collector and bibliographer Thomas James Wise, later unveiled as a book forger. 19 parts, quarto. Original pink wrappers with design by Crane. Housed in two large red cloth clamshell cases by Zaehnsdorf. With full-page illustrations by Crane throughout. Slight wear around extremities but overall a lovely set, without fading or restoration, contents clean and partly unopened.

Erstausgabe
First Crane edition, deluxe issue, number 17 of 28 copies printed on japon, of which 25 only were for sale. This is one of the finest editions of Spenser's masterpiece and "Crane's most important work in terms of quantity. a major achievement among Crane's later black and white work" (Spencer, p. 135). This was one of Crane's last commissions, appearing towards the end of his career when his fame as a book illustrator was well established. In his treatise Of the Decorative Illustration of Books Old and New (1896), he explained the approach he adopted to illustrate The Faerie Queene: "The full page designs are all treated as panels of figure design, or pictures and are enclosed in fanciful borders, in which subsidiary incidents of characters of the poem are introduced or suggested, somewhat on the plan of mediaeval tapestries" (p. 222); he also pointed out that the designs expressed "my own feeling - and designing must always finally be a question of individual feeling" (p. 217). Spenser's text was edited by the bibliographer and collector Thomas James Wise (1859-1939). "The Allen edition combined work by a noted bibliophile and a skilled artist. While Wise subsequently became notorious as a thief and forger, Crane's reputation steadily increased, not simply for his artistic work but for a role in establishing the Socialist League with William Morris and fostering decorative arts in Britain. Crane served as Master of the Art-Workers Guild, twice President of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, and in 1898 Principal of the Royal College of Art" (Richmond, p. 25). Loosely inserted in the final volume is a publisher's slip thanking Waterlow & Sons for printing the illustrations from part VI to the end. Houfe, p. 271.
