BUNINA, Anna (1774-1829). Neopytnaja muza. [The Inexperienced Muse]. St Petersburg: Shnor, 1809. The first edition of her first published book . Bunina was one of the first Russian women to make a living from her literary career thanks to the fame achieved by her works and to the support of royal and aristocratic patrons. Her work spanned the arch linking the Neoclassical, emulative and stylized tradition with the emergence of Romantic poetry, ushering in what has become known as the Golden Age of Russian literature. In this collection, followed by a second part of the same title in 1812, she ‘reflected on her own experience as a woman poet’ (Vowles). RBH records no other copies having been offered at auction, and the book is very rare in institutions. J. Vowles, ‘The Inexperienced Muse’, p. 68. Not in Smirnov-Sokol’skii ; Sopikov 6832. Octavo (195 x 126mm). With the engraved title and the errata (occasional marginal spotting, slight offsetting from engraved title, minimal toning, occasional ink or pencil marks). Contemporary full calf, boards and spine with single blind rule, marbled endpapers (boards rubbed, hinges cracked but holding). Provenance : NYPL, deaccessioned (ink and punched stamps to initial leaves, ‘Discarded’) - later shelfmarks to upper board (label) and front free endpaper - stamp ‘Printed in Russia’ to title.
