Sobre este artículo
London: Saunders and Otley, Conduit Street, 1839. Second Edition. . Leather Bound. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Octavos. xix, 364; vi, 369; vi, 365 pages. Hardcovers rebound in 3/4 burgundy morocco leather with raised bands on the spines and burgundy marbled paper-covered boards. Elaborate gilt tooling in the compartments on the spines. Top edges gilt. Light rubbing to the bindings overall. Some of the raised bands are a little more heavily rubbed. Matching marbled endpapers. The text is a little toned but is generally clean. A very attractive set. Stated Second Edition on the title pages. Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) was an early sociologist, traveller, philosopher and feminist. She is often regarded as the first female sociologist. In 1834-36 she travelled to America and observed American political and social institutions. She travelled to New York, Chicago, and Atlanta and was received by former President James Monroe at his home Montpelier. She also met numerous abolitionist and wrote of the poor state of affairs in America for the slaves and for women, especially in the field of rights and education. Her critical remarks at the time made her controversial, but the work remains one of the most clear-eyed accounts of the state of American society in the early 19th Century. She was friends with numerous writers and public figures of the day, including George Eliot, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin. Princess Victoria invited Martineau to her 1838 coronation.
