Description

NY: Knopf, 1940. First edition. Hardcover. Very good. Wallace Stegner's copy, with his ownership signature in red on the flyleaf. This is Cather's final novel, described as "her most intense fictional engagement with political and personal conflict. Set in Cather's Virginia birthplace in 1856, the novel draws on family and local history and the escalating conflicts of the last years of slavery." It tells the story of a delusional white woman who becomes jealous of one of her slaves.  Laid in is a discussion of the book by Dorothy Canfield reprinted from "Book-of-the-Month Club News." Stegner and Cather traded letters and he wrote about Cather in his collection The Sound of Mountain Water.  A very good book in green cloth with pronounced sunning to spine and some spots and darkening to glue at the edges of the spine label; interior very clean. A great association between American writers known for their portrayals of frontier landscapes.

Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
