Printed Writings by George W. Russell (AE) A Bibliography, Alan Denson — 1st Edition

Publication: Evanston, Northwestern University Press (Distributed in the U.K. by Colin Smythe Ltd.), 1961

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 255.

Condition Report: Very Good. The original plain tan printed dust jacket remains largely clean and crisp, though it exhibits a small chip with minor loss at the head of the spine and a faint vertical crease along the rear panel. The jacket is well-preserved within a clear protective mylar sleeve. The book itself is firmly bound in its original publisher's light tan boards featuring printed titling to the upper panel, presenting sharp corners and minimal shelf-wear. Internally, the pages are uniformly clean, bright, and free of foxing, with the text block remaining tight and square. There is a small, faint rectangular adhesive shadow at the lower margin of the copyright page, not affecting the text. Overall, it remains a handsome, sturdy, and highly presentable copy of this scholarly reference.

Catalogue Note: This is a First Edition of Alan Denson's comprehensive bibliography on the printed writings of George W. Russell (AE). The title page bears the original printed distribution label of Colin Smythe Ltd., marking this as the primary issue distributed in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

Alongside the exhaustive bibliographic records, this edition also features valuable notes on Russell's pictures and portraits, augmented by a foreword by Padraic Colum, reminiscences by M. J. Bonn, and an essay by Thomas Bodkin.

While this title appears somewhat frequently on the secondary market as a standard reference tool, copies retaining their original, unadorned dust jackets in well-preserved condition remain uncommon and highly desirable for institutional or private collections of Irish literature.

A definitive and exhaustive bibliographic guide to the vast output of George W. Russell (AE), this meticulously compiled reference work by Alan Denson maps the literary and artistic footprint of one of the Celtic Twilight's most influential figures. Spanning AE's books, pamphlets, articles, and correspondence, it provides scholars and collectors with a comprehensive timeline of his contributions to the Irish Literary Revival. Enhanced by intimate reminiscences from his contemporaries and dedicated notes cataloguing his visual art, this volume stands as a crucial cornerstone for any serious study of early twentieth-century Irish culture.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
