About This Item
Henry Holt and Co., 1897. Scarce first edition novel by Boston author and daughter of Civil War Colonel Francis Jewett Parker. From The Bookman, Volume 5, 1897: "As in Sudermann's 'Magda,' the irrepressible conflict between a woman of the world and her narrowminded neighbors among whom she returns to live is one of the main themes. Mrs. Cabot however does not make her denouement tragic but in her crisp and gently satirical treatment of these people suggests Mrs Craigie and in her witty dialogue reminds one of Anthony Hope Hawkins. She pictures the people of Brookfield as descendants from the Pilgrims in a very literal and scarcely flattering sense of the word." Handsome tan cloth with two color decorated cover. Titles on spine and cover in gilt. Covers show some wear and soil, pages browned. Former owner's name on front free endpaper. 5.5 x 8.5 with 296 pages.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket.
