Thomas Lovell Beddoes
Death’s Jest-Book
Ed. Alan Halsey
Published by West House Books / TLBS 2003
Edition 1st such
Condition Mint
Drama, described by its author as ‘A Dithyrambic in the florid Gothic style’. This new edition, prepared by Alan Halsey, presents for the first time in a separate volume the later version in the text established by H.W.Donner in 1935; unfinished at the time of the author’s death in 1849 it is a substantially different work from the version prepared for publication, unsuccessfully, in 1829. Modelled on the Jacobean ‘revenge’ tragedies the play is sustained by a poetry of glittering surface with an ever-present undertow of death and destruction, tempered by humour deriving out of a remorseless sense of absurdity and alienation. ‘Judicious editorial work’ (TLS). Published in association with the Thomas Lovell Beddoes Society and typeset at Five Seasons Press.

Sean Bonney
Poisons, Their Antidotes
Published by West House Books 2003
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
Poems, London-Iraq. ‘These glass-sharp graffiti collages of political spin and half heard blah blahs rage with humour. Bonney records a mercurial London self in cityscape portraits -- and the language sizzles with such a palpable fury -- I can’t tell if he’s a vandal or a witness.’ Martin Corless-Smith
