*Special Notice [somewhat dated]: At Deliberate Innocence
Books we have been honored with the opportunity to settle the
considerable and magical library of the late, great Dr. William Strange.
English Professor extraordinaire at the University of Oregon for
thirty-four years (he was my mentor for disparate courses and the
director of my Honors Thesis), Dr. Strange was a great man and a hell of
a scholar. His collection reflects a wide-ranging love of the classics,
poetry, art, international scholarship, but runs deepest at the
Romantics. Deliberate Innocence will be starting at the heart of the
matter by listing a large collection of William Blake texts, criticism,
concordances and facsimiles; and continuing from there with the
Shakespeare, Shelley, Byron, Wordsworth, Coleridge, etc.. Then there is a
vast collection of more modern poets and novelists, European poets,
Black Literature, and so forth. This is certainly a singular opportunity
to avail yourselves of some obscure and beautiful texts, scholarly and
rare editions. To peruse the books currently being offered please go to
our eBay storefront and clik on the category entitled The Strange
Library. Due to the height and breadth of Bill's library we will be
quite some time in listing all the volumes and listings are often
fine-tuned - corrected, books added to make lots and so on - so please
check back. Also, direct inquiries are most welcome - we will be glad to
look for specific works, notify you when others are listed, and so on. I
am really enjoying seeing these reach the appreciative.
