Beschreibung
Near fine condition burgandy cloth boards with a gilt front cover perimeter decoration and gilt spine lettering. Includes Preface dated January 27, 1851. The upper board edge near the tip is rubbed; the volume is otherwise in fine condition. (see photographs). The upper page edges are gilt. All pages are in fine condition and the binding is tight and the spine is square. The blank second front endpaper contains a neatly scripted vintage Christmas 1897 gift inscription. Thus, conservatively dated as 1897, and a possible first edition since David McKay publishers did not have any identification of first editions in their late 19th century publications and no additional printings are listed, further indicating first edition by this publisher. "The sins of one generation are visited upon another in a haunted New England mansion until the arrival of a young woman from the country breathes new air into mouldering lives and rooms. Written shortly after The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables re-addresses the theme of human guilt in a style remarkable in both its descriptive virtuosity and its truly modern mix of fantasy and realism." - review from goodreads dot com.
