Édition illustrée des poèmes de Williams par les 14 lithographies hors texte et en couleurs de l'artiste John Baldessari, dont deux s'étendent sur une double page. Un des 100 exemplaires, réservés aux sociétaires des éditions du Solstice, imprimé sur papier Somerset satin pour Bruno Rohmer, signé à la justification par l'artiste. Les poèmes de Williams ont originalement paru en 1909. Influence déterminante des poètes de la Beat generation et de la Renaissance de San Francisco et plus généralement, de la poésie de la moitié du XXe siècle américain, Williams a pourtant conservé son activité de médecin de profession en parallèle à son activité d'écrivain. Dans une entrevue du magazine américain Surface en 2014, Baldessari raconte que le premier ouvrage qu'il acheta était un recueil de Williams intitulé Red Wheelbarrow et qu'il fut enchanté de l'usage d'objets ordinaires par le poète. Cet usage d'objets du quotidien, communs, se retrouve dans les oeuvres de Baldessari qui ornent cet ouvrage. Rare. Voir photographie(s) / See picture(s) * Membre du SLAM et de la LILA / ILAB Member.

(1673)
A Collection of poems written upon several occasions by several persons. With many additions, never before in print.
London, for Tho. Collins and John Ford in Fleet-Street, and Will. Cademan and Th. Popes Head New-Exchange Strand, 1673. 8vo. In contemporary full sprinkled calf with five raised bands and gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Previous owner's name in contemporary hand to lower margin of title-page. Light occassional marginal browning and worm-tract to last 4 leaves. Overall a good copy. (6), 185 pp. With numerous typographical errors in pagination, but complete.
Often referred to as the second edition of this rare collection of poems. No poet is listed by name, but John Sheffield, Marquis of Normanby, Charles Sedley, George Etherege, and Aphra Behn have been identified as authors. A shorter version in two parts had appeared the year before, so all though technically being a second edition, this version contains new material. These authors are all associated with the period of English literature known as the ""Restoration Era"" (1660-1700) and were influential figures in the literary and theatrical scene of late 17th century England.The period was marked by a resurgence of the arts, theater, and literature characterized by wit, satire, and exploration of social norms.

(1633)

London, Robert Young, 1633. Folio. In contemporary full calf with five raised bands. Small paper-label pasted on to upper part of spine. Wear to extremities. Boards with scratches and a few wormholes, corners bumped and capitals chipped. Missing small part of leather on lower compartment. Vague dampstaining throughout and a few worm-tracts. Engraved title-page. (30), 345, (1), 351-416, 415-657, (1) + frontispiece.
Rare later English translation of Du Bartas exceptionally popular ""La Semaine"" and ""Seconde semaine"" and several miner poems. La Semaine became immensely popular and was quickly translated into most European languages. Du Bartas was extremely popular in early modern England, and was still being read widely in the later seventeenth century even as his reputation in France began to decline. La Semaine was first translated into English in 1598 (“No perfect copy know” Lowndes) and the present folio-edition which include several of his lesser popular work, was first published in 1605 and was reprinted six times up until 1641. All editions are scarce and are rarely found in the trade. “No other poem (besides those in the Bible itself) was read as widely as the Semaines were across early modern English and Scottish society. Based on references to Sylvester in print, Snyder believed that ‘Clearly everyone in pre-Restoration England who had received a literary education read the ‘Weekes’ ande almost all…. Admired it’. According to Gordon Braden, it was ‘probably the most popular vernacular poem in translation in early modern England’.” (Auger, Du Bartas' Legacy in England and Scotland). Lowndes II, p. 679
