Descrizione
8vo., Second Impression, with frontispiece and 31 plates, half-title and rear free endpaper lightly offset, wanting front free endpaper; blue cloth, upper board framed and lettered in blind, backstrip lettered in white, uncut, a very good, bright, crisp copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Published two months after the first impression. This important study, social rather than bibliographical, covers the period 1790 to 1837. A continuation of the author's earlier 'Shaping of English Literature', it explores the reading audiences and habits of the period, with considerably detailed accounts of the Clapham Sect, Minerva Press, Waverley Novels, and the subscribers to 'Camilla', among other topics. UNCOMMON IN THIS CONDITION (albeit without front free endpaper).
