Just before the worst day in the Ricardian calendar, Friday is the day
of mourning, let nobody forget, I have to report that The Folio Society
in London, that produces beautiful editions of books, from fiction
classics to poetry, biographies, histories, and even exclusive books, is
publishing a biography of Richard to "celebrate" the discovery of the
King's bones. What have they chosen to spend a lot of money on, with a
newly designed cover and numerous illustrations, on acid resistant,
therefore long lasting paper? In 1965 they published a volume called
The Great Debate, in which Thomas More and Horace Walpole displayed
both sides of the argument, with an introduction by Paul Murray Kendall.
Have they reprinted this? No. Have they chosen Kendall's biography, or
any of the schjolarly works since? No.
Only one writer on Richard and his times is worse than the 'factional'
writings of Alison Weir, and that is the "biography" they have chosen to
publish to 'celebrate' with, Desmond Seward.
I wrote to them expressing my disgust, and they have not responded, even
though I am a member, though I will not be renewing.
An insult to Richard's memory Seward, worse even than Hicks.

Oh Paul, I'm dismayed to say the least. It wouldn't be so bad if they
published two volumes, the second to give a balanced view. I wouldn't renew
either, if I belonged. I wish I did, so I too could make the gesture.

That's deeply depressing. I can only assume that the rights for Seward were the cheapest available. I doubt anyone there's particularly concerned about the book's status as reputable history, nor how the debate has moved on over the last 20 years. But if you're so unconcerned about the text itself, no matter how pretty the presentation, it rather knocks on the head your reputation as a high-end publisher...

Hi Sandra & Paul,
Knowing how these things usually work, I imagine Desmond Seward is a likely to be a personal friend of the powers that be in the Folio Society - perhaps heavily involved in it - after all, it's such a weird choice of biography to reissue. This is why it almost never works to lambast publishers for their bad publication choices: you're usually insulting one of their mates. Politely showing that a work contains numerous errors of fact can, however, sometimes pay off. I must admit I've never read Seward's 'Black Legend' - it's such a silly title - but if anyone has they might be able to engage with the Folio Soc. regarding a suitable balance volume.

Re: Folio

Marie, I doubt if the Folio Society would pay much attention to me, the
writer of a series of raunchy medieval romps! Hardly Folio Society territory. I
can imagine some spluttering into their finest Dongting Biluochun. No PG Tips
there, I'm sure.

Paul, Marie, Sandra et al Folio have produced Kendall's Richard III in 2005. I have copy from an online booksellers called Ardis who sell secondhand folio books in all conditions. Mine is a "fine" copy and looks brand new. They also sell on ebay and also Amazon. It has colour reproductions. My original paperback was falling to bits; I have had it since I was a teenager and it is very well used.
I agree about the choice of Seward being a very unpleasant choice. Hope they don't sell, that will serve them right. Marie is probably right about him being a friend of someone. Elaine

Re: Folio
2014-08-21 14:20:45
Exactly my feelings Jonathan.
What is even worse is it has been 'updated,' to include Seward's "new evidence of Richard's involvement in the death of Henry VI, his failure to prevent the bizarre and brutal execution of his brother George, and his disposal of the Princes in the Tower". Seward is "convinced of the truth of the traditional version of Richard's rise".
This new version includes photos of Richard's skeleton and descriptions of the weapons used to kill him. No doubt the aithor revels in this part.
He describes Richard as a "thin and pale man with a deformed spine who was a ruthless Machiavellian genius who would stop at nothing in his bid for power".
I wonder what documents he is using, apart from More and Vergil no doubt, as I don't recognise any of this!
To add insult to injury Thomas Penn has written a forward. is he not writing a book now about Richard and his brothers? I was looking forward to it after his Henry VII book, but I now begin to dread it!

I can only find the one I mentioned The
Great Debate which has an intro by Kendall.
They did do an edition of Weir's Princes in the Tower [YUK!]
Are you confusing folio with The Folio Society?
Ardis has no listing, neither does E-Bay or even Google, except for the one I mention which is not Kendall's bio of Richard.

I think it's good to have a book such as the Kendall one which will be kept and got out for many a year in the lovely Folio edition...my paperback is minus it's covers, minus it's index and last chapter and now coffee coloured. Mind you I must have had it at least 20 years and I think a Bull Mastiff puppy had a game with it at one stage. Anyway thanks to Elaine for pointing out the FS had printed this book and I'm over the moon I'm getting Daughter of Time too...another paperback liable to fall to bits through age....
