185233086Boston: Ticknor Reed and Fields 1852. First American edition first issue binding A earliest dated ads April. 8vo in the original Ticknor style A brown cloth lettered in gilt on spine and with all-over decorative work in blind on the covers. 288 4 ads. bound at the front pp. An especially fresh and bright copy the text-block very clean and fresh the binding tight and strong the gilt work unusually well preserved. A lovely copy. FIRST EDITION AND FIRST ISSUE and a very scarce Hawthorne title in such fine condition. An uncommonly bright and fresh copy.<br> Hawthorne's "romance' was based on Brook Farm a community farm near Boston. It examines what progress if any has been made to the human animal. Blithedale like Brook Farm was a would-be modern Arcadia along the lines of the anti-capitalist ideals of Charles Fourier but in spite of the lofty ideals falls prey to the self-interested behavior of its members. Though this concept for a work of fiction may sound a bit heady Henry James called it "the lightest the brightest the liveliest" of Hawthorne's "fictions." Hawthorne’s claim that the characters of the novel are “entirely fictitious†has been widely questioned and many suggest that Bronson Alcott Emerson Horace Mann Margaret Fuller and Hawthorne himself can all be found in this novel.

ONE OF HAWTHORNE'S MOST POPULAR BOOKS AND A CENTRAL CLASSICS OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE AND ARGUABLY THE QUINTESSENTIAL OF AMERICAN GOTHIC. THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES is a pillar of American Renaissance literature and was a major influence on later authors of both the horror and mystery genres in fact it continues to be influential even today.<br> Written during the most lucrative period of the author's career the novel centers on a New England family and their ancestral home. The setting was inspired by the Turner-Inglersoll Mansion a dark and rather moody gabled house in Salem Massachusetts which still stands today and offers very popular tours. While set in Hawthorne's time the novel searches history and reaches back to discern the life that occurred through the years. The house in Hawthorne's tales is presented as a gloomy mansion haunted since its construction by unscrupulous dealings accusations of witchcraft and death.<br> The House of the Seven Gables was released in April of 1851. Two printings were issued in the first month a third in May and a fourth in September 1851; totaling 6710 copies in its first year. Hawthorne earned 15% in royalties from the $1.00 cover price. After its publication Hawthorne said "It sold finely and seems to have pleased a good many people." His friend Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called it "a weird wild book" and it met with extreme popularity not only in America but also in England where it was viewed as kin to Jane Eyre. British critic Henry Chorley noted that with THE SCARLET LETTER and THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES "few will dispute Hawthorne's claim to rank amongst the most original and complete novelists that have appeared in modern times.

The textblock is solid and for the most part very clean a small droplet has left an unobtrusive faint mark to the upper margin of the first 8 leaves of Vol. I otherwise the volumes are quite clean and fresh Vol. II especially so. A VERY EARLY PRINTING AND IN VERY NICE CONDITION.<br> Italy was the site of this one of Hawthorne’s most popular books. Of it the writer said “No author without a trial can conceive of the difficulty of writing a romance about a country where there is no shadow no antiquity no mystery no picturesque and gloomy wrong nor anything but a commonplace prosperity in broad and simple daylight as is happily the case with my dear native land. It will be very long I trust before romance-writers may find congenial and easily handled themes either in the annals of our stalwart republic or in any characteristic and probable events of our individual lives. Romance and poetry ivy lichens and wall-flowers need ruin to make them grow.â€<br> John Lothrop Motley wrote to Hawthorne that " I like those shadowy weird fantastic Hawthornesque shapes flitting through the golden gloom which is the atmosphere of the book. I like the misty way in which the story is indicated rather than revealed. The outlines are quite definite enough from the beginning to the end to those who have imagination enough to follow you in your airy flights; and to those who complain I suppose nothing less than an illustrated edition with a large gallows on the last page with Donatello in the most pensive of attitudes his ears revealed at last through a white nightcap would be satisfactory." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called it a "wonderful book" and William Dean Howells wrote that it would ".yield him that full honor and praise which a writer can hope for but once in his life.

FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING AND VERY RARE IN SUCH FINE CONDITION. IN THE ORIGINAL CLOTH THIS IS CORNERSTONE WORK IN AMERICAN LITERATURE AND A LANDMARK WORK OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. An American Renaissance masterpiece and surely one of the most important works in the oeuvre of colonial America. More than any other work of literature Hawthorne’s SCARLET LETTER set the stage for an understanding of the puritan mind and beginnings of the American social system.<br> The first printing of THE SCARLET LETTER consisted of only 2500 copies and sold out within days. It is said when Hawthorne delivered the final pages to Ticknor Reed and Fields he doubted it would be popular but THE SCARLET LETTER ushered in the most lucrative period of his long career. The public's positive response was enormous but the book was not without its critics. The publication brought protest from natives of Salem who did not like how Hawthorne depicted their Puritan ancestors. Religious leaders also took issue with the novel's subject and the 'Church Review' offered that the novel "perpetrates bad morals."<br> Reviewers from the next generation proved more tolerant. Author D. H. Lawrence argued that there could not be a more perfect work of the American imagination than The Scarlet Letter. Henry James said of the novel; "It is beautiful admirable extraordinary; it has in the highest degree that merit which I have spoken of as the mark of Hawthorne's best things—an indefinable purity and lightness of conception. One can often return to it; it supports familiarity and has the inexhaustible charm and mystery of great works of art. Ticknor, Reed and Fields hardcover

Fifteen tales are included the new ones include 'The Snow Image' 'The Great Stone Face' 'Main Street' and 'Ethan Brand'. Ticknor, Reed and Fields hardcover
