The Vicar of Wakefield

By Oliver Goldsmith

1886 - London - John C Nimmo

10\" by 6.5\"; (xvi) 291pp.

DETAILS

A smartly bound and beautifully illustrated copy of Goldsmith\'s classic, The Vicar of Wakefield.

With prefatory memoir by George Saintsbury.

Illustrated with over one hundred and forty colour illustrations.

In literary history books the Vicar of Wakefield is often described as a sentimental novel, which displays the belief in the innate goodness of human beings. But it can also be read as a satire on the sentimental novel and its values, as the vicar\'s values are apparently not compatible with the real \"sinful\" world. It is only with Sir William Thornhill\'s help that he can get out of his calamities.

Armorial bookplate of Manuel M.Terrero to front pastedown.

CONDITION

Rebound in morocco with gilt detailing. Externally, very smart, with just some slight rubbing. Internally, generally firmly bound although slightly strained in places. Scattered institutional ink stamps throughout. Pages are bright, though with the occasional patch of foxing and handling mark. Overall: VERY GOOD INDEED.
