About This Item
Only several notes in the margin and underlined passages. Binding is bright, tight, and square. DJ has very little wear. A solid volume which appears hardly used. Previous owner's book plate is on the inside front binding. From the front DJ flap, "This descriptive and critical survey of the American novel up to the year 1820 seems certain to gain recognition as the definitive work on its subject. Prompted by an awareness how unevenly the predecessors of James Fenimore Cooper have been studied and made accessible to the modern reader. Mr. Petter has completed a work of literary historiography that lucidly and systematically deals with an astonishing amount of information."
