The House of the Seven Gables

Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1851

HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864). The House of the Seven Gables. Boston: Ticknor, Reed, and Fields, 1851.



A bright copy of the first edition, first printing, of Hawthorne's gothic novel, published only a year after The Scarlet Letter. Inspired by the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion in Salem, Massachusetts, and family ties to the Witch Trials, the story follows a New England family and their ancestral home. Hawthorne would remark in an 11 March 1851 letter to his sister, Elizabeth, that "The book, I think, has more merit than the Scarlet Letter; but it will hardly make so much noise as that." A fine copy of one of Hawthorne's best-known works. BAL 7604, binding A (imprint measuring 1/8"high and 1 1/4" across); Clark A17.1a (first printing).



Octavo. Ads dated March 1851 (occasional minor soiling at margins). Original brown cloth, gilt-stamped spine (some rubbing to spine ends and tips); modern clamshell box.
