Aubrey Beardsley The Story of Venus and Tannhauser - the Long-suppressed Masterpiece of Erotic Elegance
USA Universal 1967 First Mass Market Paperback Very Good Illustrated Novel Aubrey Beardsley
The amerous encounter between the mythical Goddess of Love and the legendary knight , Tannhauser , is re-told by Aubrey Beardsley in shimmering , reotic passages as exquisite and as perversley imaginative as anything in his celebrated - and often surpressed - drawings. This unexpurgated edition of beardsley's most important literary work contains the full text of the original manuscript as Beardsley himself wrote it. Nothing has been deleted , nor has any other writer's work been added. A generous selection ( 80 ) of Beardsley drawings brings another dimension of pleasure to the enjoyment of the text.........This book is in excellent condition for a paperback from the sixties. There is a small sign of shelf wear to the bottom egde and the bottom corner , and a very gentle ' opening ' crease to the front of the spine. The spine itself is uncreased and is very firm, and tight. Although the pages have browned , they are very clean and the artwork is fabulous. This is an extraordinary book - one full page of artwork to each page of text.
