Beauchampe; or, The Kentucky Tragedy - A Sequel to Charlemont [with] Confession of the Blind Heart: A Domestic Story

New York: A.C. Armstrong & Son, 1882. Reissue. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Spine faded, binding shaken with front hinge just beginning to loosen, ink and pencil marginalia throughout. 1882 Hard Cover. 402, 398, [6] pp. Maroon cloth, gilt titles, black decorative borders and rules. Two novels in one volume, each preceded by frontispiece. Two stories by the prolific writer of the Old South William Gilmore, Simms, who Poe called the Lape de Vega of American writers. It's likely his support for slavery and opposition to Uncle Tom's Cabin (both in reviews and in his pro-slavery novel The Sword and the Distaff) account for his current level of recognition in American literary history.
