Seller's Description:
None. Very Good. The first issue of the first single volume edition of Henry James's critically divisive tragicomedy. The first issue of the first single volume edition of this work, preceded only by the three volume first edition. This is the first issue of the single volume edition, published in May 1886 and identified by two pages of advertisements to the rear with prices provided in dollars. A UK single volume issue was published two months later. 'The Bostonians' is a novel that centres on a trio of characters; Basil Ransom, a political conservative from Mississipi, Olive Chancellor, a Boston feminist, and Verena Tarrant, a protegee of Olive's in the feminist movement. The work was poorly received by North American critics, with Mark Twain damning the work and the people of Boston denouncing it. With two pages of advertisements to the rear. A wonderful copy of this work from the major literary figure Henry James, author of such works as 'The Turn of the Screw' and 'The Ambassadors'. James is viewed as one of the greatest novelists in the English language, placed critically at the intersection of realism and modernism. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Bumping to spine head and tail, with a touch of fading to back strip. Otherwise, externally excellent. Hinges strained but firmly held. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright. Very Good.
