[Charles Agvent]

CABLE, George Washington. THE GRANDISSIMES. A STORY OF CREOLE LIFE. New 
York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1880. First Edition. Decorated cloth. BAL 
2331. Cable's second book and many think his most important. Arlin 
Turner in GEORGE W. CABLE, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A SOUTHERN HERETIC 
calls this book the "first 'modern' Southern novel" and "the first 
important work of fiction written by a Southerner" that attempts "to 
deal honestly with the complexity of Southern racial experience." 
Certainly not light praise. This copy is INSCRIBED by Cable: "They all 
[sic] this book my best. No one/says which is my worst." SIGNED and 
dated by the author in Northampton, Mass., 1918. Minor fraying to spine 
tips. Very Good copy with fine inscription. (#007684)        $750
