Wise forgery.- Swinburne (Algernon Charles) Rondeaux Parisiens, [one of 35 copies], signed presentation inscription from Wise to Charles Maggs on half-title, light foxing, original wrappers, working loose, foxed, printed for private circulation, 4to, 1917.   *** One of 35 copies of an interesting yet unsettling work from the notorious forger T.J. Wise, inscribed by him to Charles Maggs with wincingly “sincere regards”. Swinburne was a bitter opponent of the "new journalism" exemplified by W.T. Stead's Pall Mall Gazette and wrote this poetic invective against it, specifically against Stead’s “The Maiden Tribute of Babylon”, the very important serialised exposé of paedophilia in Victorian England which led to the long overdue raising of the age of consent. Swinburne was outraged at the glee displayed by the French press over these revelations of the darker nature of British 19th century morality. In an egregiously hypocritical introduction – even by his own standards –  Wise alludes to Swinburne's reluctance to publish the text in his own lifetime, concluding: “The poet's well known opinions, and in particular his unmeasured sympathy with childhood and youth, would certainly be in full accord with the wiser provisions of the [Criminal Law Amendment] Act. It is perfectly apparent that what aroused, and probably amused, him was the transparent cant exhibited in the fantastic vapourings of the French press.” Thankfully, a very scarce item - the last copy at auction was in 1992.
