Description

First Edition. With eleven illustrations on black and white plates by Walter Appleton Clark 8vo, publisher's original green cloth, the upper cover decorated in blind and gilt lettered, gilt lettered on the spine 184 pp. A collectible copy, the text very clean, the paper fresh, the binding a bit aged and a touch shaken, some typical rubbing and bumping.

Edizione: one of the author's compelling psychological novellas. a tale of moral choices and temptations, sanctuary is spread across two generations. it begins with a girl on the edge of marriage, who discovers a dark secret regarding her soon-to-be spouse. later, as a mother, the same woman waits to see if her son will have a similar failing. in stories like sanctuary wharton demonstrated a significant talent for exposing the dark side of american upper-crust society.
