Helen, A Tale
London: Richard Bentley, 1834. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 7.5" x 5" First American edition. Complete 3 volume set. "Having come to her literary maturity at a time when the ubiquitous and unvarying stated defence of the novel was its educative power, Maria Edgeworth was among the few authors who truly espoused the educator's role. Her novels are morally and socially didactic in the extreme." This set is in good condition with bright blue marbled boards and leather spines. All three volumes have bookplates on the front pastedowns. Minor edgewear. Minor foxing. Very Good. Item #2022-M212
