Description
New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1895. First edition. Near Fine/Good +. A Near Fine copy in Good+ dust jacket. First printing with yellow top-stain, undamaged type on p. 225 and no mention of this title in four pages of ads at the rear (BAL 4071). Cloth a bit toned and discolored, mostly at spine, but fresh and unmarked throughout. Spine with a slight lean. The scarce dust jacket with a long tear to front panel (not touching text), professionally closed at verso; a couple spots of staining; and some chipping to head of spine. The author's realistic portrayal of a Union soldier's shame after fleeing battle during the American Civil War, The Red Badge of Courage was the author's second book after Maggie and easily his best work. The novel was included in Men at War: The Best War Stories of All Time by Ernest Hemingway, who wrote that this novel "is one of the finest books of our literature, and I include it entire because it is all as much of a piece as a great poem is." Near Fine in Good + dust jacket.
