Description
First edition, early printing. 8vo, publisher’s green cloth with decorated paper labels printed in yellow and black on the upper cover and spine. 295. A very good copy, clean internally, mellowing to the spine, light age evidence, hinges strong and tight.
Edizione: “willa cather's powerful final novel, sapphira and the slave girl, remains read and in print. a vivid evocation of the ante-bellum tidewater area of virginia, [it] has been described variously as ‘a winter's tale,’ a gothic tale, and a clever subversion of readers' expectations. the novel elicits vigorous responses on the part of readers and critics one hundred and fifty years after its action takes place, and more than half a century after its publication.” angela m. salas.
