AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED

by Roberts Kenneth

  • Used
  • Signed
Rome: By Hand, Circa 1935. Handwritten on Roma stationery. Octavo, Two pages Very fine and very well preserved. A FINE TWO PAGE AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED written to a journalist friend thanking him for his favourable comments concerning Robert's book "For Authors Only" published in 1935. Roberts writes in part, "It's mad about 2700 copies to date, and that aint enough to satisfy a real sale...The meat is in it, but the germ that makes a book go over hasn't infected it".
A Native Son of Kennebunk, Maine, Roberts specialized in regionalist historical fiction, often writing about his native state and its terrain and also about other upper New England states and scenes. He got his start in fiction when Booth Tarkington, a neighbor of Roberts in Kennebunkport, convinced him that he would never find the time to succeed as a novelist while he was still working as a journalist, and Tarkington agreed to help by editing Roberts's early novels. Roberts's historical fiction often focused on rehabilitating unpopular persons and causes in American history.

Description:
1698 1ed Jeanne de Schomberg Housekeeping Motherhood Parenting French Liancourt

'Reglement Donne par une Dame de Haute' was a late 17th-century letter written by Duchesse de Liancourt, Jeanne de Schomberg, which instructs her granddaughter on the duties she should expect as a wife and mother, how to execute them, and how to avoid common pitfalls. (Seifert). It discusses the importance of shunning card games, going to operas and plays, and reading novels – all of which would undoubtedly lead to the neglect of wifely duties.

He continues that he has been "poring over maps of your section of the country, to say nothing of wearing out the roads, in an attempt to make sure of some of the activities of the late Major Robert Rogers." This was two years before the publication of NORTHWEST PASSAGE. Roberts received an honoray degree from Middlebury in 1938
