An Account Of Anne Bradstreet By Luther Caldwell - Inscribed By Author

Boston: Damrell and Upham, 1898. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. Good. An Account Of Anne Bradstreet By Luther Caldwell - Inscribed By Author.

For those that do not know Anne Bradstreet, she was the first writer to be published in the English North American colonies. Born in 1612 as Anne Dudley, she married in England at 16 and moved to American two years later with her husband, Simon Bradstreet. Only one of her poetry works, "The Tenth Muse, Lately Sprung Up In America", was published in her lifetime (1650).

Over time, more material came out and eventually this book, written by Luther Caldwell, came around in 1898 and represents perhaps the most concentrated and essential collection of her work to date.

This copy is inscribed to two friends, James and (?), by Luther Caldwell and also has an interesting correction on the and.

Cover has some staining as shown. Pages are almost all clean except for some foxing/browning on edges of front and back end pages.

Let me know if you have any question or desire more photos. Thank you.
