Longfellow's Outre-Mer

Hawthorne's copy, 1835

[HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864). LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth (1807-1882). Outre-Mer: or, a Pilgrimage to the Old World. London: Richard Bentley, 1835.



Hawthorne's copy of Longfellow’s first literary work—the book that sparked their friendship. This is the first English edition, the first edition to contain Longfellow's "Old English Prose Romances." A collection of stories based on his European travels, Outre-mer was not commercially or critically successful, but Nathaniel Hawthorne enjoyed it so much that he wrote to Longfellow sending a copy of his own Twice-Told Tales. They had attended Bowdoin together, but not been close; the exchange of literary admiration inspired by the present work began a life-long friendship—Longfellow would be a pallbearer at Hawthorne’s funeral. BAL 12060.



Two volumes, octavo (195 x 120mm). Original muslin-backed boards, printed paper labels on spines (paper boards and endpapers relaid on later cloth covers some losses to paper labels, vol 2 hinges cracked); modern chemise and slipcase. Provenance: Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1804-1864 (inscription on endpaper of each vol) – Stephen Wakeman (woodcut bookplate; his sale, American Art Association, 29 April 1924, lot 638) – Sotheby's, New York, 24 November 1980, lot 20A.
