Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Catherine Marie Sedgwick was an American novelist of domestic fiction. From the 1820s to the 1850s, Sedgwick made a living writing short stories for variety of periodicals. She became one of the most notable female novelists of her time. She wrote work in American settings, and combined patriotism with protests against historic Puritan oppresiveness. Her topics contributed to the creation of a national literature, enhanced by her detailed descriptions of nature. Sedgwick created spirited heroines who did not conform to the stereotypical conduct of women at the time." Her style and approach lost favor eventually and it was not until the 1960's that feminist scholars began to re-evaluate women's contributions to literature. These two volumes were published by Harper & Brothers of New York, dated 1841 and the First Edition, with the same date on title and copyright pages. These two small hard cover volumes are composed of the letters the Author wrote to her acquaintances, starting in June of 1939 where she disembarks from the ocean voyage in Portsmouth, and continues to her visit to Italy and Florence (the dates of her various visits are not always clear). There are no illustrations. Condition: These two small hard cover volumes are in very good condition. The hard covers are clean and bright but a little dust-dulled nnd the gilt titles and decorations, slightly tarnished. The hard covers of both volumes have been bumped, in some cases, exposing the boards beneath but nevertheless, noting too extreme. There has been some slight splitting of the gutter are the base of the spine of Volume II. Inside, a former owner has left their name on the front endpaper of both volumes and these along with some lightly penciled bookseller's notations on the rear endpapers of both volumes, are the only marks I found. The interior pages are lightly foxed, some worse than others but none bad enough to obscure the text. All the hinges are intact and both volumes are tight and sound. These two books are not ex-library or remainders.…
