Beschreibung

2 vols., 12mo., pp. [3]-617, [1]; 473, [1]; without the half-title in volume I; some slight offsetting from the turn-ins but a good copy in contemporary Scandinavian brown half diced calf and green marbled boards, spines sunned, rear joint of volume II cracking.First edition in Swedish, rare, of Master Humphrey's Clock (1840-1), comprising the framing narrative of short stories, followed by The Old Curiosity Shop ('Den Gamla Antiqvitets-boden'). Barnaby Rudge, omitted here, was published separately in 1845. Mäster Humphreys Klocka appeared as issues 10-20 of Hjerta's 'New Reading Library' for 1842-3, other contributions coming from Bulwer Lytton, Merimée, Marryat, etc.Though his reputation in Scandinavia was less strong than in other parts of Europe and Russia, translations were quick to appear in Swedish: Sketches by Boz in 1840, and Nicholas Nickelby earlier in 1842. Strindberg read Dickens in translation as a youth, and Dickens directly influenced his Red Room (Röda Rummet).OCLC and COPAC together show BL and Bodley only. Language: Scandinavian & Finnish.
