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.
