BULWER-LYTTON, Edward George Earle. The Pilgrims of the Rhin - Lot 114
BULWER-LYTTON, Edward George Earle. The Pilgrims of the Rhine. Paris, Baudry, 1834. In-8, black half-basane, smooth romantic spine, pebbled edges. XXVII - 201 pages. 1 page black out-of-text score at end of copy. In English. Lacks of leather on the spines, partially faded headbands, foxing. Published in the same year as the first edition of this epistolary novel emblematic of Rhenish Romanticism. An Englishman pilgrimages along the Rhine with his dying daughter, Gertrude, and a young man. The bubbling of unfulfilled love is fanned by the romantic lyricism of the landscape. Medieval castles, obscure towers and vineyards provide the backdrop for this tale, still untouched by the ravages of modernity. Ex libris by Zoé Seillière. Fair condition.
