About This Item
(Johannesburg: Voortrekkerpers, 1940). Uitgawe van die Patriot-Vereniging vir Afrikaanse Teksuitgawes No. 2. 8vo; original grey boards, lettered in black on spine, and with black device to upper cover; pp. 181; frontis. portrait. Corners of boards slightly turned; a little mottled on backstrip; earlier owner's hand-stamps to front endpaper; edges lightly browned; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. Early Afrikaans text, with accompanying critical material in Afrikaans. "Die eerste omvangryke prosawerke word geskryf deur C. P. Hoogenhout. In Die geskiedenis van Josef (1873), wat gerig is op die begripsvermoë van die kind met aanpassing van die idioom aan die Afrikaanse werklikheid, gee hy 'n oorvertelling van die Bybelverhaal. In Catharina, die dogter van die advokaat (1879) is die verhaal romanties gekleurd en word die verteller pleitbesorger vir die Afrikanersaak." - Kannemeyer: Die Afrikaanse Literatuur 1652-1987, p. 35 .
