商品描述
A collection of rare pagan poetry and purple prose from the heart of the 1920s counterculture. Victor Neuburg is most famous for two things: discovering Dylan Thomas, and being the man that Aleister Crowley once turned into a camel. Obsolete Spells offers another side of Neuburg, through his own poems and the strange books of Vine Press, the hand-operated imprint he ran from his West Sussex cottage between 1920 and 1930. Neuburg's youth involved terrifying-yet-farcical years as Crowley's lover, victim, and magickal sidekick. His later period, as editor of the influential "Poet's Corner" column for the Sunday Referee, found him a key figure in London's literary scene. But in between, Neuburg acted as a conduit for bohemian writers, arts luminaries, and the sexually adventurous: Peter Warlock set his words to music, singer Marian Anderson lived in his spare room, and he was a fixture at utopian community, the Sanctuary. Through it all, he turned the handle on the Vine Press: books of nature writing and anonymous song; poems and artwork worthy of The Wicker Man, side-by-side with a book on cricket. Obsolete Spells offers a selection of Neuburg's work and others from Vine Press books--over-the-top hymns to the Old Gods, tales from a utopian landscape, and more, most of which has been out of print for a century.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一部來自1920年代反文化核心的稀有異教詩歌與華麗散文集。
維克多·紐堡（Victor Neuburg）最著名的兩件事是：發掘了迪倫·托馬斯（Dylan Thomas），以及成為阿萊斯特·克勞利（Aleister Crowley）曾經變成駱駝的人。過時的咒語透過紐堡自己的詩作和他在1920年至1930年間於西薩塞克斯小屋運營的手動印刷廠Vine Press的奇特書籍，展現了紐堡的另一面。 紐堡的青年時期充滿了既可怕又滑稽的歲月，作為克勞利的情人、受害者和魔法助手。他後來擔任《星期日裁判報》（Sunday Referee）影響力巨大的「詩人角落」（'Poet's Corner'）專欄的編輯，成為倫敦文學界的關鍵人物。 但在此之間，紐堡作為波希米亞作家、藝術名流和性冒險者的中介：彼得·沃洛克（Peter Warlock）將他的文字譜成音樂，歌手瑪莉安·安德森（Marian Anderson）住在他的閒房裡，而他則是烏托邦社區「聖所」（the Sanctuary）的常客。在這一切中，他操作著Vine Press：自然寫作和匿名歌曲的書籍；值得《柳樹人》（The Wicker Man）的詩歌和藝術作品，與一本關於板球的書並列。 過時的咒語提供了紐堡的作品選集以及來自Vine Press書籍的其他作品——對古老神祇的過度讚美、來自烏托邦景觀的故事等，大多數作品已經絕版一個世紀。作者簡介
