Provenance: carefully erased early ownership inscription on upper pastedown -- Elaine Barry, 1956 (presentation inscription on upper pastedown). ¶¶¶First edition. In 1918 the biographer, poet, critic, and translator Gosse (1849-1928) -- who held at that time 'a prestige enjoyed by scarcely any critic of the day' (DNB) -- began to write a series of weekly articles on literature for The Sunday Times, which continued until his death. Ann Thwaite judged that '[a]part from Father and Son, Gosse's most enduring writing is found in his collections of essays' (ODNB), and Leaves and Fruit collected a number of these pieces from The Sunday Times. In his preface to the volume, Gosse explains his subjects with the words '[t]hose kind readers who have been sitting every Sunday for the last eight years beneath my imaginary pulpit do not need that I should defend to them the choice of my text. It is, indeed, whimsical in the extreme, and I have to admit that my own taste is indulged by it and not the advice of my parishioners. [. . .] But by dint of gazing interminably over the vast expanse of literature, I have gradually and unconsciously come to regard with equal interest all forms of passionate expression, whether grave or gay, profound or superficial. I ask of books only that they should be amusing, that is to say, competently enough executed to arrest an intelligent observer. My little essays on them are so many pieces of broken looking-glass held up to catch the figures and gestures of life as they pass by. It is for my readers to say whether the mirror is clear or tarnished; at all events I do not think it is dimmed by prejudice' (p. vii). Leaves and Fruit is dedicated to Lytton Strachey 'with affectionate admiration', and the essays span a very broad range of literary subjects relating to British, American, French, and other writers. Among them are pieces upon canonical authors (for example, 'Shakespeare in Arden', 'Gentlest Otway', 'Cibber's Apology', and 'The Prose of Dr. Johnson'), but also articles on gastronomic literature and bibliography ('The Physiology of Taste'), and book-collectors and libraries ('Bodley and the Bodleian'). Although T.S. Eliot wrote in the year that Fruit and Leaves was published that 'Sir Edmund Gosse is completely out of touch with modern poetry' (T.S. Eliot (ed.), The Criterion 1922-1939 . . . Vol. VI July 1927-December 1927 (London, 1967), p. 195), Gosse -- who had been instrumental in introducing Ibsen and Gide to British audiences -- also wrote on his twentieth-century contemporaries, such as Strachey, Siegfried Sassoon, and Edith Sitwell ('full of talent and ambition', p. 261), and the collection was well received; for example, Van Wyck Brooks commented in the New York Herald Tribune that 'Edmund Gosse is on the verge of eighty, but there is nothing in Leaves and Fruit, his new collection of essays, to suggest any diminution of the catholicity of mind, the alertness of intelligence, the sureness of taste that make him the most generally satisfactory of living critics. Indeed he has gained rather than lost with the advance of years' (quoted in A. Thwaite, Edmund Gosse: A Literary Landscape 1840-1928 (Oxford, 1985), p. 485). A Bookman's Catalogue: The Norman Colbeck Collection, p. 302. ¶¶¶FURTHER INFORMATION: please contact us for further information about this item and prices for shipping.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 8vo; various paginations; numerous plates. AN ATTRACTIVE COMPLETE SET OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENT OF LONDON'S DECADENT NINETIES. The Yellow Book was conceived in 1894 by the artist and controversialist Aubrey Beardsley and the American novelist Henry Harland. In its form and content it was set against traditional Victorian literary publishing. Each volume features attractive debossed decoration, the layout and typography are elegant and generous, and contributors include most of the leading lights of fin de siècle art and literature. The opening story is Henry James' "The Death of the Lion", and other notable writers include Kenneth Grahame, George Gissing, Max Beerbohm, W.B. Yeats and H.G. Wells. The journal is also well known for its artwork, and in particular the ongoing battle between Beardsley and the publisher John Lane over the boundaries of decency and artistic merit. Volume III features works by Beardsley under his own name and two pseudonyms an attempt by him to show the hypocrisy of his critics, who sure enough praised the pseudonymous works and damned those they knew to be by Beardsley. The set is in good condition: bindings are worn, and there is uniform fading and scuffing to the bindings along about one inch to the righ-hand side, away from the spines; internally the volumes are uniformly very good notably there is very little of the foxing that usually affects this set; some spotting to prelims but generally clean and bright. Personal bookplates to some volumes; Vol IV somewhat brighter, partially uncut and with trimmed edges; all other edges deckled and pages cut. This is a large set and shipping will be charged at cost.
