Book, “TANNHAUSER; OR, THE BATTLE OF THE BARDS. A POEM.” By Neville Temple and Edward Trevor [pseudonyms]. Mobile: S..H. Goetzel & Co. 1863. 125pp. Half morocco and marbled boards. Old stamp on titlepage and several other leaves; tanned. An odd literary flowering in the embattled Confederacy. Parrish & Willingham attribute actual authorship to Julian H.C. Fane and Edward R. Bulwer-Lytton. S.H. Goetzel produced a number of fictional works during the war, including issues of Dickens' GREAT EXPECTATIONS and A CHRISTMAS CAROL. All Confederate literature is quite scarce.
