Paperback. Condition: New. Written during the Italian winter of 1930, The Blue Spill is an unfinished detective novel written by Ezra Pound - the leading figure of modernist poetry in the 20th century - and his long-time companion Olga Rudge. Published for the first time in this authoritative critical edition, the novel reflects… both Rudge's and Pound's voracious reading of popular fiction as it echoes and parodies such writers as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and P.G. Wodehouse.Based on the original manuscripts of the novel, this critical edition includes annotation and textual commentary throughout. The book also includes critical essays exploring the contexts of the work, from the dynamics of artistic collaboration to the growing popularity of detective fiction at the beginning of the 20th century. Taken together, this unique publication sheds new light on the relationship between the literary avant-garde and popular culture in the modernist period.

Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: Very Good. 49pp.; 24.5 x 17.1 cm. Tan paper wraps printed in black and red.14.5 x 10 cm when folded. Single strip of white paper printed in blue, folded in thirds.A reproduction of a manuscript of a concerto of Vivaldi's by the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, for whom Olga Rudge worked from 1933 until… the late 50's. The study, and discovery of Vivaldi's music was central to Rudge's work, and carries the greatest legacy. Rudge used her role as Secretary to procure microfilms of Vivaldi's manuscripts held at various Italian (and in this case English) institutions. In 1938, Rudge founded the Centro di Studi Vivaldiani at the Academy, and in 1939 organised the first Settimana Musicale Senese, a festival dedicated entirely to the revival of Vivaldi's music, much of which had not been performed since the 18th century. Rudge's work continued post-war, here taking shape as part of the Quaderni, no. XIII. With further essays, two also translated into English, notices for upcoming concerts, bibliography, and so on. Reproduces a quote from Ezra Pound,>    (E. P. > 26-II-39)and also lists one "Dr. Ezra Pound" as the last of those to whom gratitude is given. With the publisher's advertisement leaflet laid in listing issues of the Quaderni, I-XIII and further publications; in fine condition. The journal itself in very good condition, light browning along the top edge and spine; the wrappers unstuck along the spine remaining attached it seems by the back joint. A clean and straight copy, but to be handled with care.

Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 33pp.; 21.3 x 15.7 cm. Heavy green paper wraps printed in black; stapled. "If this be treason, make the most of it." So closed Patrick Henry his speech amid cries of "Treason!" to the House of Burgesses, Virginia, 1765. Henry stood against the Stamp Act, a tax imposed on the American… British colonies by the Parliament of Great Britain, which would, as Pound quotes John Adams in Canto 66, "drain cash out of the country | and is, further, UNconstitutional." A dangerous reference by Rudge to the same man who claimed, "Give me liberty, or give me death," this selection of Pound's radio broadcasts, the first to be printed, and taken directly from manuscript, do not so well proclaim Pound's innocence as to proclaim his rightness. Rudge had not seen Pound for three years and would not for another ten. When considering the care taken over Pound's political material at this date, even the threats William Levy received from Dorothy Pound's solicitors in 1966 for publishing two radio speeches in IT, one has to stress the independence of Rudge in this publication. Privately printed for the editor in Siena by Tip[ografica]. Nuova, January 1948. One of, Gallup suspects, around 300 numbered copies, most left unnumbered, this one rather special being No. 10. Provenance on request. Front cover and spine faded, rear cover and versos with better retention. Gallup A59.

Add to basketUnbound. Condition: Very Good. A collection of promotional material relating to the musical scene in Rapallo, Italy in the 1930s, with connections to Ezra Pound, his family, and his mistress Olga Rudge, all of whom played an influential role in the scene. The collection was assembled by Yale Professor Donald Gallup who published… a bibliography of Pound. At least four of the pieces here are referenced in Gallup's bibliography (one directly, three indirectly) and three other pieces are dated in ink, one with notation (presumably by Gallup). The collection includes 16 pieces (plus one duplicate) featuring flyers/handbills, postcard-style handbills, programs, a broadside, and a short piece of music (stapled wrappers, 4pp). Also included, though not counted in the 16 pieces, is a small tourist pamphlet from 1934 promoting the town of Rapallo and lending some geographical context to the collection, featuring a small map and illustrated from black and white photographs. All of the text throughout the collection is in Italian. Many pieces are age toned or sunned, some have edgewear, and the tourist pamphlet has two small pinholes, but overall a very good collection. Ezra Pound called Rapallo home for many years, writing a portion of his *Cantos*, welcoming his son Omar, and championing a unique series of concerts. Focused on intimate performances put on by local musicians, Pound yearned to create what he called "a laboratory for the objective (with the emphasis strictly on that word) examination of music." The book *Ezra Pound and Music: The Complete Criticism* edited and with commentary by R. Murray Schafer dedicates an entire chapter to Pound's work in Rapallo, even reproducing the front cover of one of the programs featured in this collection. We feel it's appropriate, if not necessary, to quote this chapter at length to better contextualize this collection and demonstrate its uniqueness, as it incorporates direct quotations from Pound regarding the project: "It was imperative that the concerts should remain modest and should employ local musicians as much as possible. 'Civilization begins when people start preferring a little done right to a great deal done wrong,' Pound wrote in 1937. They were not to replicate the musical life of larger centers. 'I have said several times that it is useless to do on a smaller scale in Rapallo what is being done with magnificence and great means elsewhere.' The focus was at all times to be on the music; no star system, no pandering to the public. Pound wanted a laboratory in which to put his ideas into action." This collection provides a snapshot of Pound's laboratory, with pieces from both eras of the Rapallo concerts, pre and post Gerhart Münch's departure in 1935 (per Schafer) with ten of the performances advertised mentioning him. The earliest printed date is 1933 and the latest date given is 1938 (via bibliography, E2o). Also listed in ten performances is Ezra Pound's longtime mistress, the violinist Olga Rudge. One program (the one reproduced in *Ezra Pound and Music*) lists Pound's father, Homer, and his wife, Dorothy, as supporters of the concerts and lists Ezra Pound among the committee members. One broadside "Stagione Musicale del Tigullio: 21 Gennaio Dal 2 Al 5 Febbraio" was written by Pound, with his printed "E.P." at the bottom. While some of the other pieces may have also been written by Pound or involved his contributions, this is the only one bearing his initials as a signature and the only one directly listed in Gallup's bibliography. All together there are seven flyer/handbills (plus one duplicate of "Amici Del Tigullio: Nuovo Quartetto Ungherese"), four postcard-style handbills, two programs (single sheets folded to make four pages), two broadsides, and one piece of sheet music: An excerpt from *Ateneo Veneto Anno CXXV, Volume 117, Fasc. 2, Ottobre, 1934: Due Arie Di Francesco Severi* which is either a transcription or interpretation by Gerhart Münch of two arias by Francesco Severi, originally transcribed by Oscar Chilesotti. A fascinating collection of artifacts from Ezra Pound's Rapallo musical laboratory. A detailed list is available upon request.
