Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
240pp. Modern half calf and marbled boards, spine gilt, original morocco label. Contemporary ownership inscription on titlepage. Some light foxing and soiling. Very good. The first American edition, based on the first London edition of 1782. Crèvecoeur came to America during the French and Indian War and served with the French forces. Afterwards he settled in the British colonies, becoming a farmer. This work, which describes his experiences in America, is justly famous for its vivid picture of a colonial world slipping into the chaos of war, revolution, and nationhood. Two of the essays, "What is an American?" and "Distresses of a Frontier Man," particularly address the confusion of those times. Four of the twelve "letters" are about Nantucket and one about Martha's Vineyard and the whale fishery. Throughout, there is much information on the natural history of British North America, and ethnographic information on American Indians is also provided. "As literature unexcelled by any American work of the eighteenth century" - Howes. Certainly one of the chief works of literature, and one of the most important observations on America during the era of the Revolution. CLARK 1:218. HOWES C883. SABIN 17496. VAIL 936. DAB IV, pp.542-44. EVANS 25357. MONAGHAN 499. ECHEVERRIA & WILKIE 793/17. MEISEL III, p.352 STREETER SALE 711 (1st ed). REESE, REVOLUTIONARY HUNDRED 70 (ref). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM54553
