Description
Nathaniel Hawthorne. Twice-Told Tales. Boston: American Stationers Co., 1837.8vo. With 4 pp. publisher's advertisements at front and 16 pp. publisher's catalogue at end. Original brown blind-embossed patterned cloth.
FIRST EDITION of Hawthorne's second book, and the first to bear his name, published in an edition of 1,000 copies. This important collection includes eighteen tales formerly published in magazines and periodicals (hence "Twice-Told"), and included several works, such as "The Minister's Black Veil," "The May-Pole of Merry Mount," and "Wakefield," which became a vital part of the American literary canon. The tales had a great influence on other writers as well, including Poe, who noted that their "style is purity itself."
Condition: Rebacked preserving original spine; some wear along board edges; rubbed. Occasional pale spotting throughout.
