Agnes of Sorrento. Agnes of Sorrento.

STOWE, Harriet Beecher. Agnes of Sorrento. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. Smith, Elder & Co. 1862
Orig. wavy-grained purple cloth, blocked in blind, spine lettered in gilt; spine sl. darkened, a little faded. A good-plus copy.

¶Published the same year as the first American edition. An historical novel, set in Italy. Alibone notes an early review of the work in The Athenaeum: 'This tale will not advance the reputation of its writer, which ... has been mildly but steadily sliding downward ever since the first days when she must have been startled by her easily won European fame'. But another reviewer praises the 'many passages of graceful or picturesque description'.
