Fanshawe, the Engelhard-Chrysler copy

Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1828

[HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864).] Fanshawe, a Tale. Boston: Marsh & Capen, 1828.



The Engelhard-Chrysler copy of the first edition, first state, of Hawthorne's first book, unsophisticated and uncut in original boards; together with a contemporary review of the novel. Fanshawe was published anonymously in an edition of 1000 copies at the author's own expense soon after his graduation from Bowdoin College. Although widely reviewed, very few copies sold and a warehouse fire at the publisher's destroyed much of the inventory. Hawthorne later suppressed knowledge of Fanshawe. The present copy is Bruccoli's first state, with "from / has" (see Matthew J. Bruccoli, "States of Fanshawe," Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, LVIII [First Quarter, 1964], 32.). It is also accompanied by an 1829 copy of The Critic containing a review of the novel. BAL 7570; Clark A.1.1.



12mo (182 x 115mm). Untrimmed (front hinge cracked through, some minor spotting.) Original plum muslin-backed boards, paper label (spine faded with cloth two-inch split to cloth, some staining to boards, wear to label with a couple letters lost); modern chemise and morocco pull-off case. Provenance: Walter P. Chrysler, Jr (his sale, Parke-Bernet, 7 & 8 December 1954, lot 148) – Charles & Jane Engelhard (their sale, Christie's New York, 27 October 1995, lot 62).



[With:] “Review of Fanshawe.” In: The Critic. A Weekly Review of Literature, Fine Arts, and the Drama. Edited by William Leggett. Volume I. From 1 November 1828-2 May 1829.
