TRANSFORMATION: OR THE ROMANCE OF MONTE BENI

1860ST20736Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz 1860. First Tauchnitz Edition Todd & Bowden's fourth setting published the same year as First American and English Editions. 165 x 123 mm. 6 1/2 x 4 7/8". xii 292; vi 280 pp. Two volumes in one. <br/> Original vellum-like paper boards covers with gilt lacy borders smooth spine heavily gilt and with gilt lettering all edges gilt.

Back board with a small stain near the bottom inexpensive paper faintly browned; jacket a little dampstained splitting repaired with white tape along the joints on the inner side. Even with defects a notable survival.<br/> <br/> Attractively bound and enhanced with photographs of Italian art and architecture this is the first Tauchnitz printing of Hawthorne's "The Marble Faun" as it is called in various American printings or "The Romance of Monte Beni" as it is titled in the Tauchnitz and early London editions. The work was Hawthorne's last completed novel the principal fictive product of the author's European residence from 1853-60 and probably the most brooding Romantic and distinctive major work in the Hawthorne canon. The present edition is part of an important continental publishing phenomenon that flourished for more than a century. The descendant from a line of two previous printer-publishers Christian Bernhard Freiherr von Tauchnitz 1816-95 founded in Leipzig in 1837 the printing and publishing firm of Bernhard Tauchnitz which became famous for its inexpensive reprints of English language books. Tauchnitz began his "Collection of British Authors" in 1841 and two years later he negotiated the sole rights to publish English books in Germany; among those authors whose work he issued were Ainsworth Dickens Disraeli and Thackeray. As is obvious from the present item Tauchnitz published American authors as well. His inexpensive paperbound editions a precursor to mass-market paperbacks eventually numbered more than 4000 and the business was continued by the Tauchnitz family until being destroyed by bombing in World War II. There are often a number of different Tauchnitz editions or impressions of any particular work; in the present case the bindings differ significantly and the number of photographic plates varies widely from copy to copy. According to Clark "The absence presence or sequence of inserted photographs has no significance in determining textual priority." The presence of the original dust jacket from the 1860s--which has done so much to protect the nearly virginal white binding--represents a remarkable survival. Bernhard Tauchnitz unknown
