An Exhibition of Manuscripts and Printed Books at the University of Texas, October 1-30, 1942: Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892

Descripción

Printed self-wrappers, 8vo, 24 cm, 20 pp (the text concluding on the rear outside wrapper). Uncommon. Provides valuable information on the Tennyson forgeries in the Wrenn collection and on Thomas James Wise's dealings with Wrenn. Includes also details of a number of portraits of Tennyson. From a contemporary review in 'Library Quarterly : "On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Tennyson s death the University of Texas drew upon its rich Wrenn, Aitken, and Stark collections for the exhibition described in this pamphlet. But here is no mere listing of titles with dull bibliographic detail. Instead, Miss Ratchford, who is librarian of the rare-books collections at the University, has written an absorbing account of the books and manuscripts on display, so that each item is seen in relation to the poet s career. Included, also, is a description of eighteen Wise forgeries, exposed in the Carter and Pollard Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets." Wrappers somewhat duststained and slightly browned, closed pinhead hole to rear wrapper, otherwise Good. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-60446
