Zustand: Very good. First Edition. First edition of "the first world history ever written by [a British] woman" (William McCarthy, 211). An evocative, philosophical, and narrative-driven history, RETROSPECTION took an experimental approach to the genre, attempting to cure it of its stuffiness. Panned by one contemporary critic as "History cooked up in a novel form reduced to light reading for boarding school misses, and loungers at a watering place," these are the exact reasons the book is interesting to us today. In fact, the modern scholar William McCarthy calls it "a work of great daring in every way" (210). It covers the first century CE to the year 1800, relying upon sources ancient (Livy, the Bible) and modern (Gibbon, Hume), all buttressed by Piozzi's famous breezy charm. An eccentric tour de force and an unsophisticated copy, quite difficult to obtain without repairs to the joints or spine. Two quarto volumes, 10'' x 8.25'' each. Contemporary half calf, blue paste-paper boards, raised bands, gilt-tooled spines, red goatskin spine labels. Speckled edges. Engraved frontispiece portrait of the author. Bound without half titles and eight-page publisher's catalogue; with the four-page proposals for maps. xvi, 17-461, [1]; pages. Some rubbing to bindings; frontispiece faintly foxed. Firm. …

First Dublin edition (published the same year as the London edition) of the account of the newlywed Mrs. Piozzi's tour of the continent with her husband. Her "first work not to fall under the long shadow of Johnson, she built upon previous experimentation by using an authoritative but conversational discourse, alive with present-tense immediacy, to erode the barriers between diary and travel narrative. Her delight in Piozzi and in Italy was everywhere apparent in the materials she included in this development of the genre, which subverted masculine tropes of the grand tourist as disillusioned and hard to please" (ODNB). Her descriptions of Italy were a source for Ann Radcliffe's MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO. Contemporary tree calf, with early re-backing. Front board detached. Bookplate.…
