About This Item

London: Whittaker, Treacher, 1833. First edition. 3 vols. 8vo. Bound in contemporary quarter red morocco. Old paper labels at foot of spines (private library). Short split at top of back joint of vol. 1, minor rubbing, occasional light spotting. Very good. First edition. 3 vols. 8vo. Frances Trollope was an English novelist and writer who is said to have influenced such authors as Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her first book is her best known, but her social novels were influential in their time, and took strong anti-slavery or anti-Catholic stances. Her novels are not often read today, in part -- paradoxically -- because she was so prolific and observational a writer.

This novel about a sixteenth century cloister in Italy is her second novel and third book. Sadleir 3212; Wolff 6804
