1855 1ed 1st printing Song of Hiawatha Henry Longfellow Poetry Native American

"When thou smilest, my beloved,

Then my troubled heart is brightened"

– H.W. Longfellow, Song of Hiawatha

An incredible first edition of 'The Song of Hiawatha' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This epic and popular 19th-century poem tells the love story of an Ojibwe warrior and his love for a Doakota woman. Longfellow describes Indian legends that have stood the test of time, particularly in comparison to the religious themes that are employed through verse.

It was Longfellow who helped the American public understand the image of the Native American. According to Pearce,

"It was Longfellow who fully realized for mid-19th-century Americans the possibility of the image of the noble savage. [Prior to 'Hiawatha'] there was a general feeling that the Indian belonged nowhere in American life but in dim prehistory" (p. 191)

Description:
1709 Saint Francis Assisi Monastic Rule of Penance Lives of SAINTS + Piety RARE

"The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today."
― Francis of Assisi

In the 13th-century, devout followers of Saint Francis of Assisi formed the Third Order of Saint Francis. This order closely followed the preachings and examples set by Saint Francis who corresponded with these groups through letter. These letters ultimately developed into what would become the rules for penance in the Third Order.

This early 18th-century account of Third Order of Penance was collected and translated into French by Claude Frassen who included biographical sketches of the lives of saints of the Order along with prayers and liturgical texts. It also contains a printing of "Exercises of Piety" from 1703.

"Songs of Experience" is a 1794 collection of 26 poems by William Blake, the counterpart to his "Songs of Innocence." The work explores darker themes of human life such as poverty, exploitation, and social corruption, reflecting Blake's critiques of industrialization and the Church. Famous poems like "The Tyger" and "London" employ complex symbolism and allegory, making the collection a profound exploration of human despair and potential redemption.

A beautiful 19th-century edition of the works of William Shakespeare!

In the mid-19th-century, Charles Knight published an illustrated edition of the works of Shakespeare, a set that proved to be very popular throughout the English-speaking world, into the late 1800s. It included all of the famous works one would expect to be in a collection of Shakespeare, but unlike other editions of the same era, this particular example features the impressive full-page engravings of character portraits.

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
