Transatlantic Footholds: Turn-of-the-Century American Women Writers and British Reviewers, Stephanie Palmer — 1st Edition

Publication: London and New York, Routledge / Taylor & Francis Group, 2020.

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 228.

Condition Report: As New. The book is bound in the publisher's original green pictorial laminated boards, issued without a dust jacket. The binding is exceptionally tight and square, showing no evidence of shelf-wear, bumping, or rubbing to the corners or spine ends. The boards remain bright and entirely unmarred. Internally, the text block is pristine; the edges are clean and completely free from foxing or toning. The volume appears entirely unread, presenting as a superb, immaculate copy.

Catalogue Note: This is a first edition of Stephanie Palmer’s scholarly monograph, issued as part of the 'Routledge Transnational Perspectives on American Literature' series. As is typical for contemporary academic monographs, this volume was issued without a dust jacket, instead utilising durable laminated boards.

The work represents a highly specialised piece of literary criticism, and hardback first editions of this nature are typically printed in small initial runs, often intended primarily for institutional library acquisition rather than the general retail market. Consequently, finding a pristine, unread copy in the open market is decidedly uncommon.

In Transatlantic Footholds, Stephanie Palmer offers a compelling analysis of how British reviewers received and interpreted the works of turn-of-the-century American women writers. By examining the period between literary domesticity and modernism, Palmer uncovers the complex transnational dialogues and critical frameworks that shaped the transatlantic literary landscape. This rigorous study provides invaluable insights into the intersecting dynamics of gender, national identity, and literary reception, making it a crucial resource for scholars of American literature and transatlantic studies.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
