About This Item
"MEGDA" by Emma Dunham Kelley. 1891 1st edition; James H. Earle; Boston. With a frontispiece portrait of Kelley and decorative floral end papers. There is a 6-page publisher's catalog at the back. A somewhat controversial author due to speculation of her race, Kelley was long considered to be a pioneer of African-American women's literature. Recent genealogical research indicates, however, that Kelley was likely white, or identified herself as white.

Some spotting along the spine, the right edge of the back cover, and the bottom edge of the front cover; sharp corners; bright gilt on the front cover and spine. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Clean, lightly tanned pages with no writing, stains or foxing; 1/2" at the outer edge of page 143. There is a small chip at the outer edge of page 393. Overall the book is in very good condition.
