About This Item
Concord, Mass: Will Bradley at the Sign of the Vine, n.d. [ca., 1902. Slim, small 12mo, pp. [20]; printed in red and black, decorative title page and page borders; fine copy in original gray paper-covered boards, paper label on spine. "During the first years of the new century ... Bradley issued several small volumes from the Sign of the Vine at Concord, printed for him by Heintzemann of Boston. They are in plain paper boards with printed labels on the front ... Browning's Rabbi Ben Ezra is a hybrid. It has modern type with large red initials and running heads with type ornaments. The hand-lettered title page is, however, Art Nouveau in feeling, with a repeated woodcut rose motif" (Thompson, American Book Design and William Morris, p. 124; see also plate 63).
Synopsis
Rabbi Ben Ezra: A Dramatic Monologue is a poem by Robert Browning. It is not exactly a biography of Abraham ibn Ezra, but is an interpretation of ibn Ezra's ideas and works. It was first published in 1864.
Reviews
On Jan 11 2013, FHG Goudy said:
The 1901, London, edition of Browning's "Rabbi Ben Ezra" appears in an online BIBLIO search for "Goudy" or "Village Press". This is an error to be corrected, however, since it confuses the more available 1901, Chiswick Press, London, edition with the rare 1904 edition produced by Fred and Bertha Goudy at the Village Press (Hingham, Mass.).
