A propos de cet article

Mary Elliott (then Mary Belson) began writing for children in 1809, at a time when increasing literacy and wealth and more progressive understanding of the reading needs of children were creating a growing demand for more and more books for young people. Beginning with two books in verse - one a lively tale about town and country mice, the other, an anthology including many of her own poems - she went on to produce a stream of books on a variety of subjects. Her stories, some eventful and exciting, were mostly about real children learning to tackle the everyday circumstances and difficulties which they encountered in the world around them. These books were made all the more attractive by her publisher, William Darton, who provided them with entertaining illustrations, many of them interesting today for their depiction of contemporary scenes and fashions. Mary Elliott's books soon spread across the Atlantic, and American publishers reissued many of them, sometimes adapting the text to local circumstances. Although her books are now forgotten, they cannot be disregarded by researchers into the history of childhood and of children's literature” (Description of Marjorie Moon’s The Children’s Books of Mary (Belson) Elliot, Oak Knoll Press). Twelvemo. 180 pp. Engraved frontispiece. Contemporary black calf over marbled boards. Gilt-stamped title and floral design on spine. Mild edgewear to spine. Faded signature of previous owner (dated 1867) on recto of second leaf. A very good copy. First American edition. OCLC lists only a single copy of this edition, held by the British Library. Set in the early 19th century, this novel exposes the hypocrisy and corruption of the English aristocracy. Through the intertwined stories of two young men named Edward, Mary Elliott creates a vivid portrait of a society rife with scandal and injustice. Written with wit, insight, and a keen eye for detail, The Two Edwards is a compelling tale of love, ambition, and betrayal.…
