TUCKER, James
Ralph Rashleigh or the Life of an Exile by "Giacomo di Rosenberg"...
Angus & Robertson, Sydney, 1952. Folio, with ten photographic plates of original documents and an etching by Ingleton; original quarter orange morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe; slight foxing to front endpapers, an excellent copy. Deluxe issue of the first edition, limited to 50 copies with an etching by Ingleton. This is a choice presentation copy, out-of-series and inscribed by the editor, Colin Roderick, to the publisher, George Ferguson. This is the first authentic and unadulterated edition of one of the most important literary productions of the colonial era and one of only two novels by a convict. Tucker's novel - the authorship of which was first established here by Professor Roderick - had previously been published in London a quarter of a century earlier in an emasculated and grossly altered form as a quaint autobiographical narrative. It was Roderick's edition that brought the manuscript - discovered by Charles Bertie early this century - into the canon of Australian literature and established Tucker's reputation as one of the four or five outstanding novelists of the era.
