Ruskaiia Taliia. Podarok Liuboteliam i Liubitel'nitsam Otechestvennago Teatra. [‘Ruskaya Taliya’. A gift for Lovers of Native Theatre.] Edited by F. Bulgarin. St Petersburg: N. Grech, 1825.
8° (147 x 110mm). Engraved additional title and 5 engraved portraits. (Light scattered spotting.) Contemporary Russian half calf, flat spine gilt in compartments, red morocco label, edges sprinkled red (extremities rubbed).
An excellent example in a contemporary Russian binding of 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. Complete 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 Almanacs 271: 'one of the best Russian miscellanies dedicated to the theatre'.
