Item description from seller

Each a single sheet, 8vo, printed in black and green at the Tragara Press. The books are: Jonathan Allison, editor, Bound for the 1890s: essays on writing and publishing in honor of James G. Nelson ("Based on original research using primary sources and full of insights and discoveries, these reinterpretations focus on Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, W.B. Yeats, John Lane, and other figures who shaped fin-de-siècle literature, book illustration, and aesthetic publishing . . . The roster of distinguished contributors includes Jonathan Allison, Philip K. Cohen, Nicholas Frankel, Steven Halliwell, Linda K. Hughes, Mark Samuels Lasner, Margaret D. Stetz, and Linda Gertner Zatlin"); Sharon W. Propas, Victorian Studies: a research guide ("The first edition of this guide . . . was published in 1992, just as electronic resources were becoming major tools for scholars. Since then, the internet has changed the way in which research materials, especially indexes and other finding guides, are presented and used"); Arthur L. Schwarz, Dear Mr. Cockerell, Dear Mr. Peirce: an annotated description of the correspondence of Sydney C. Cockerell and Harold Peirce in The Grolier Club Archive ("The letters of two prominent book collectors, Sydney Carlyle Cockerell in London and Cambridge and Harold Peirce an ocean away in Philadelphia, were exchanged over a thirty-four year period (1897-1931) and brimmed over with bookish discussion"); Richard Whittington-Egan, Stephen Phillips: a biography ("Virtually forgotten today, Stephen Phillips was a poet and playwright whose verse dramas were considered the equal of Shakespeare’s"). The 1890s interests of Rivendale's list coincided with those of Alan Anderson. Rivendale's publisher, Steven Halliwell, was author of Fifty Years of Hand-Printing, the Tragara Press bibliography of 2005. Anderson's prospectuses do Halliwell proud.
