Hardcover. Condizione: Near fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: very good +. First Edition. Small quarto, 215pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, with a large but extremely faint dampstain along the spine; inconspicuous. In the rare dust jacket, with some small chips, tears, and flattened creases, but very good or better. Annie Fields, who at the time of publication was in her second decade of widowhood, had been devastated by the loss of her husband, and withdrew from society, though she eventually developed a close companionship with Maine author Sarah Orne Jewett. This volume is divided into three essays: "Leigh Hunt," "Edinburgh," and "From Milton to Thackeray." Clearly a well-educated person and highly interested in literature, one can imagine that the loss of her husband was more than romantic; the two must have been able to carry on long and serious discussions about literature and the arts. This volume, printed on heavy coated paper, is usually found in much worse condition, and we've never encountered one in a dust jacket. As such, a wonderful example.
