Hardcover. 26 Volumes of the "No Name" Series. 4.25 x 6.25in. Publisher's cloth boards. Titles included and in order of their publication: "Deirdre"; "Is That All?"; "Kismet"; "The Great Match"; "A Modern Mephistopheles"; "Hetty's Strange History"; "The Wolf at the Door"; "Mirage"; "A Masque of Poets"; "Signor Monaldini's"; "The Colonel's Opera Cloak"; "His Majesty, Myself"; "Salvage"; "The Tsar's Window"; Manuela Paredes"; "Baby Rue"; "My Wife and My Wife's Sister"; "Her Picture"; "Aschenbroedel"; "Her Crime"; "Barrington's Fate"; "A Daughter of the Philistines"; "Princess Amelie"; "Diane Coryval"; "Almost a Duchess"; "A Question of Identity." The series was conceived by Thomas Niles Jr. of Roberts Brothers in an attempt to publish both known and unknown authors in complete anonymity. As he wrote "the idea of being able to write fearlessly, intrenched behind an anonymous, and all the critics at bay, is pleasing." The two most famous contributions to the series would be Emily Dickinson's poem "Success" (the only poem published in her lifetime) and Louisa May Alcott's extreme stylistic and thematic departure from her earlier novels, "A Modern Mephistopheles." Madeleine B. Sterne writes in her essay on the series that "a close study of the No Name Series yields many blessings to scholars, for it casts light upon publishing history, popular literary taste, author-publisher relations, and the role of American women novelists during a significant decade." The overwhelming majority of authors whose identities have been ascertained are women, including Helen Hunt Jackson, Harriet Waters Preston, Julia Constance Fletcher, Annette Calthorpe, Lucretia Peadbody Hale, etc. Also notable is "The Great Match" which is perhaps the first novel pertaining to baseball. All 26 volumes are in generally VERY GOOD condition showing variously marginal loss from the head and foot of the spines, some gilt titling lightly rubbed or tanned, some corners shelf rubbed and tapped, the occasional former owner name of the period, otherwise the bindings remain strong, the texts are clean and unmarked, and the boards remain colorful and distinct. As pictured.
