A propos de cet article

3 volumes. First Edition. 8vo, in the printer's original gray boards, lettered on paper labels on the spines as called for, with each volume now housed in an individual slipcase, each with wraparound chemise, the slipcases with raised bands gilt tooled, compartments with gilt panel work and central devices gilt, lettered and decorated in gilt on red morocco labels. 310; 325; 323, [4 ads] pp. A very well preserved and handsome set with only minor evidence of age. The text-blocks and bindings all in good order. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL PRINTER'S BOARDS. RARE THUS. Saint Ronan's Well Is one of the Waverley novels by Sir Walter Scott. Set in a fashionable spa in the Scottish Borders, it is the only novel he wrote with a 19th-century setting. The first edition was published in Edinburgh by Archibald Constable and Co. on 27 December 1823, and in London by Hurst, Robinson, and Co. two days later. The novel concerns the rivalry of two men: Valentine Bulmer, the Earl of Etherington, and his half-brother Francis Tyrrel. Both wish to marry Miss Clara Mowbray, who is the sister of John, the laird of Saint Ronan’s. Given its modern setting, it is not surprising that the sources of Saint Ronan's Well are predominantly literary rather than historical. It seems likely, though, that Clara's story was influenced by a protracted legal case involving a Border family, which ran from 1804 until 1820. The novel is mentioned in Fyodor Dostoevsky's first and unfinished novel Netochka Nezvanova, written in 1849. From Chapter VII "I went into the library (it is a moment that I shall always remember) and took a novel of Sir Walter Scott's, St Ronan's Well, the only one of his novels I had not read." Wiki.…
