GRIBOEDOV, Aleksandr Sergeevich (1795-1829). Molodye suprugu: Komedija v odnom dejstvii. [The Young Spouses: A comedy in one act]. St Petersburg: Imperial Theatre, 1815. A wholly unsophisticated copy of the very rare first edition of Griboedov’s first published work, a play in verse staged at the Imperial Theatre in 1816 to a mixed critical reception. Conceived as a free adaptation of a minor French comedy, the play and its subsequent criticisms gave Griboedov the opportunity to comment on the nature and artistic import of the category of shalost’ , a verse genre peculiar (if not exclusive) to the early nineteenth century, defined not by formal features as much as by its content – subversive by virtue of an adherence to the behaviour and semantics of domesticity as opposed to literary convention and established aesthetic expectations. The concept was to be key to Griboedov’s art, particularly in his masterpiece Woe from wit . Smirnov-Sokol'skii, Moia bibliotheka , 641. Ocavo (230 x 126mm). Uncut copy with deckle edges (faint staining to the outer edges). Original printed and engraved publisher's wrappers (a little dusty, upper edge of front wrapper a little stained, lower wrapper reinforced in the outer edge).
