SEE PHOTOS Fine Condition ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Frederick Carter Series: Book 1 Apocalypse in England: A Critical Study of Frederick Carter Signed By (Author) Richard Grenville Clark Jerusalem Press 2024 #28 of 90 hand numbered & signed copies "This is the first complete biography of Frederick Carter, reflecting a growing interest in his work. It follows on from the author's previous exploration of Carter's etchings and engravings in Frederick Carter ARE 1883-1967 A Study of His Etchings. That drew together important biographical details, firmly placing the artist back in the history of English art and society. This more comprehensive study views the artist in a wider context, examining Carter's development, the influences on his life and art, his religious beliefs, and interest in symbolism, that helped to form his work before and after both world wars. Carter's engagement with literary and artistic subjects alone would allow him a significant place in our cultural history. But Carter's range was truly polymathic and his long, uneven career forced him to engage with many of the major events of the early twentieth century, its characteristic problems, his place in Bohemia, its artists and intellectuals. We encounter many literary figures: D.H. Lawrence, Arthur Machen, John Gawsworth. Henry Miller. M.P. Shiel, Thomas Burke. It was a milieu of mystics and bohemians: Aleister Crowley, Wyndham Lewis. W.H. Davies, George Raffalovich, Austin Osman Spare, W.B. Yeats, all befriended by Frederick Carter." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Features: *Custom Satin-lined Slipcase *Signed Post Art *Insert facsimile of Carter’s ex-libris *An exclusive facsimile of the typescript – "Cocktails at Crowley’s" *Hand-marbled endpapers *Quarter-bound in leather *Over 300 black & white images *Everything Hand Signed & Hand-numbered ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forthcoming titles exclusively from Jerusalem Press in The Frederick Carter Series; Book II: Collected Short Stories Book III: Collected Art Works Book IV: Collected Mystical Writings
