BREMER, FREDRIKA:

[Autograph letter signed, to Messrs. Ticknor & Fields, about publication of the American edition of her travel account "Lifvet i gamla världen"]. Dated Athens June 1860.

. The letter comprises 2 1/2 pages on bifolium, old folds. Size: 13.5 x 21.5 cm. Handwritten in English. Fredrika Bremer was a pioneer in the Swedish women's movement and a renowned novelist of her time. This letter was written during her long journey through Europe to the Levant. Her diary was translated into English titled "Life in the old world". This part of the journey is devoted to her stay in Switzerland and Italy. Fredrika writes to the publisher Messrs. Ticknor & Fields and expresses her delight that they will publish her "just finished work on Switzerland and Italy". She requests that copies be forwarded "from the author" to six named persons in the United States, suggesting that the payment be deducted from the agreed sum for the American copyright. However, it does not appear that Ticknor actually published the American edition of her work (?). It was published with the imprint of "T.B. Peterson and Brothers" in Philadelphia.

Fredrika Bremer&Apos;S Works: The President&Apos;S Daughters; Including Nina

London, Henry G. Bohn, 1852. Leather. A scarce edition of Bremer's novels The President's Daughters and its sequel Nina, translated by Mary Howitt. Scarce edition. Considered a representation of Bremer's increased maturity, The President's Daughters portrays childhood for its humour while soberly illustrating a reserved young woman's blossoming into a more open person. Its sequel, Nina, attempts to continue this tale in her realistic style with the addition of speculative philosophy she learnt from Johan Boklin, the piece was harshly reviewed. Written by Fredrika Bremer, a Finnish-born Swedish writer and reformer whose works were wildly popular in the UK and US during the 1840s and 1850s. Regarded as the Swedish Jane Austin, she is credited with bringing the realist novel to Sweden. Her novel Hertha prompted a social movement that granted unmarried Swedish women legal majority at the age of twenty-five, and she opened Sweden's first female tertiary school. Translated by Mary Howitt, an English poet and author. Previously held in the library of Lord Grenfell of Kilvey. Bound in full brown calf. Externally, smart with light shelf wear and rubbing to the extremities. Fading to the spine and small marks to the boards. Front hinge starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd spot or crease. Contemporary ink inscription to the front endpaper dated 1858. Previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown. Very Good . Ill.: None.
