GRIBOEDOV -- BULGARIN, F. (ed.). Ruskaya Taliya. Podarok lyubotelyami i lyubitel'nitsam otechestvennogo teatra. [Russian Taliya. A gift for Lovers of Native Theatre]. St. Petersburg: N. Grech, 1825.
8° (149 x 109mm). Engraved additional title and 5 engraved portraits. (Scattered spotting, occasional marginal dampstain, light soiling on engraved title.) Contemporary half calf (re-backed preserving most of the original spine). Provenance: V.N. Vitov (blind-stamp).
The finest miscellany of Russian theatre in the age of Pushkin, including THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF GRIBOEDOV'S 'GORE OT UMA' ('Woe from Wit') -- THE ONLY PUBLICATION OF ANY PART OF GRIBOEDOV'S MASTERPIECE DURING HIS LIFETIME. This, the greatest Russian comedy before Gogol's 'The Government Inspector', remains one of the plays most often staged in Russia; but Griboedov is said to have seen it performed only once, by officers garrisoned in Yerevan. Censors rejected this biting satire of Russian society, which was not published in full until 3 years after the author's death. With engraved portraits of A. Shakhovskii, and the actors K. Semenova, V. Karatigin, A. Istomina, and K Teleshova. Bokarius, Guidebook for the National Pushkin Museum Library, p. 67; see also the catalogue 'Centenaire de Pouchkine. Exposition Pouchkine et son époque' which illustrates this title (pl. XV); Smirnov-Sokol'skii Al'manakhi 271: 'one of the best Russian miscellanies dedicated to the theatre'.
