About This Item
London: De La More Press, 1904. First edition. First edition. 6.5 x 10" Beige buckram with cover illustration stamped in green and bold gilt lettering, spine with gilt lettering. Frontispiece and twelve illustrations by L.E. Wright in a wonderfully expressive style, in the manner of Walter Crane. Printed on Unbleached Arnold paper. ìÃDollie Radford managed to unite the two opposite directions of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. She pursued the direction of a conservative aesthetics associated with the reflexive discourse of an art for art's sake ideology, which led to the Decadence of the fin-de-siecle poets. And she pursued the direction of a radical politics associated with the communal discourse of an Arts and Crafts ideology, which led to the socialism of William Morris and the feminism of the New Woman poets." (David Latham). Some soiling and foxing to covers, gift inscription to half title. A beautiful example of arts & crafts illustration and printing.
