Cloth. Condition: Very Good. An intruguing facsimile reprint of a 1653 poetical work by a former student of Trinity College, Cambridge, published in his graduation year. There is a single illustration of angels carrying a coffin. HOOKES, NICHOLAS (16281712), author of "Amanda," a Londoner by birth, was a king's scholar at Westmi…nster School (Welch, Alumni Westmonast. p. 132). He was elected to a scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1649, and took the degree of B.A. in 1653. Dryden was his contemporary at Westminster, and followed him to Cambridge in 1650. In 1653 Hookes published a series of poems entitled "Amanda, a Sacrifice to an unknown Goddesse, or a Free-will offering of a Lovinge Heart to a Sweet-Heart," dedicated to the Hon. Edward Montagu, son of Lord Montagu of Boughton. The poems were written, he tells us in his preface, in praise of an entirely imaginary person. In the same year he also published "Miscellanea Poetica" (usually bound up with the "Amanda"), among which may be noticed a poem addressed to the famous Dr. Busby and a dialogue in Latin elegiacs, in which "Scholam Westmonasteriensem alloquuntur vicissim Cantabrigiæ et Oxoniæ genii." In the original publisher's half cloth binding with paper to the boards. externally, smart. Light marking to the boards. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with the odd scattered spot. Very Good. None (illustrator). book.

A wonderful volume! Rosenbach private library." Bookplate of Robert S. Pirie, lot 473 in his sale at Sotheby s New York, 3 December 2015. In a cloth box, probably made for Dr. Rosenbach, and with his card loosely inserted, with printed heading "From the Rosenbach Collection" with typed note of the book s title and "Extremely rare in this condition From the private collection of Dr. Rosenbach." First edition, possibly the most determined of all seventeenth-century poetical attempts to conjure and characterize an ideal lover. Of the fifty-six poems in the volume, forty-five, as an article on the book in The Philobiblon (April, 1863, pp. 87-91) put it, "refer directly to the nymph in question." The poet s descriptions are very nearly exhaustive: he sees her putting flowers in her bosom, overhears her singing, sees her reading and, in one poem, exhorts her, unsuccessfully, to finish her wine: Well I perceive Why this you leave, My love reveales, And makes me guess what tis you mean, Because at meals My lips are kept from kissing thee, Thou need st must kisse the glasse to me. As the Philobiblon writer continues: one day of love being gone, her thoughts incline bedward, and she goes to her prayers, like a good girl: he beholds her at her devotions, and after them, and, naughty man that he is, sees her undressing herself, and in her bed, and finally asleep. Another day dawns, along with more poems. One has Amanda in a garden, another denying something to her lover, probably a kiss. She goes for a walk and is caught in a shower. The shadow of a rival crosses the lover s path. He writes madrigals on her dimples and her black eyes, and then a poem in which she is compared to a number of famous beauties, most of whom are taken from Michael Drayton s English Heroical Epistles. In the nineteenth century Amanda became a legendary rarity. The Philobiblon writer knew of no works of what he called "neglected English poets" scarcer than Hookes s. Andrew Lang wrote of Amanda in "A Bookman s Purgatory" where a copy is buried in a lot at a rigged auction, and again in "Ballade of the Book-Man s Paradise": There treasures bound for Longepierre Keep brilliant their morocco blue, There Hookes Amanda is not rare, Nor early tracts upon Peru! Wing, Short-Title Catalogue 1641-1700, H2665; Wither to Prior 462; Pforzheimer Collection 504, noting the two states of leaf a4v: in this first state, line 13 has a comma after "lovely," but no commas after "heav nly" and "sweetest" and there are 6 lines of errata.

This work stands as a quintessential example of the Cavalier and metaphysical styles that defined English literature dur…ing the Interregnum. Through a series of evocative poems, Hookes explores the profound depths of romantic devotion, addressing the eponymous Amanda with a blend of clever conceit, fervent passion, and graceful pastoral imagery.The volume captures the nuances of courtship and the emotional landscape of a loving heart, presenting a "freewill offering" that remains both charming and sophisticated. Beyond its romantic central theme, the collection reflects the literary influences of the era, echoing the traditions of poets like Richard Crashaw and Thomas Carew. Hookes' work provides invaluable insight into the evolution of the English lyric, bridging the gap between late Elizabethan sensibilities and the approaching Restoration era.For readers and scholars of early modern literature, "Amanda, a Sacrifice to an Unknown Goddesse" remains a significant testament to the enduring power of the love lyric and the sophisticated artistry of 17th-century poetic expression.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
