Sobre este artículo
London : Chiswick, 1822 A very good early 2 volume edition of this scarce novel, first published in 1793, and considered by many to be her best work. Charlotte Turner Smith (1749-1806) was primarily a poet, but also wrote novels, particularly to raise income. She is unusual in writing under her own name at that time. Her work was initially very popular, but became less so during her lifetime. The Old Manor House is set during the American Revolutionary War and is said to argue against slavery. This set was published by Chiswick Press, set up 11 years earlier. In contemporary quarter leather binding with gilt compartments, gilt titles and blind tooling to spines. Boards, page edges and endpapers marbled. Each volume has half title, vignette title page and text. Vol I 334pp; Vol II 328pp. The bindings have wear to edges and corners. The spines have wear particularly to the top and bottom with some fraying at the bottom. The front board to vol II is splitting away at the joint. Corners with wear. The contents are very clean and in very good condition. Vol I has some wear to the endpaper at the bottom of the front hinge.
