Description: Text/Bright, clean, As New. Green linen boards w/paste-down titles to front & spine/VG; strong & sound, showing discoloration & marked fading to spine. DJ/None. Dyed upper text edge. PO bookplate to front cover verso. This final novel of Virginia-born Willa Sibert Cather (1873 - 1947) is based on a story recalled from her childhood. A story of the complex and turbulent relationships between slaves and their owners Virginia just before the Civil War (as was Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind), and in particular within the setting of an estate of a declining slaveholding family. The invalid and bitter matriarch Sapphira, targets the beautiful slave girl Nancy for abuse. The husband and widowed daughter (an abolitionist) shield Nancy not only from Sappira but also a lecherous kinsmen, making for rich material for Cather's narrative art and psychological insight. In the epilogue Cather appears as a child who notes Nancy's triumphant return 25 years later.

The struggles of these three strong-willed women provide rich material for Cather's narrative art and psychological insight.

Description: Sapphira and the Slave Girl, Willa Cather. Hardcover, stated first edition in very good condition in a good dust jacket. Fading to edges of boards and spine. slight tilt to spine. Dust Jacket has wear, chips and tears (see photo). Protective cover included. Willa Cather's final novel. Taken from the dust jacket with revision: The chief theme of the novel is the subtle persecution of a beautiful multi-racial girl by her jealous mistress. The unconventional opening chapter a the breakfast table strikes the keynote of the whole story, in which strong feelings and bitter wrongs are hidden under the warm atmosphere of good manners and domestic comfort. The period is 1856, just before the outbreak of the Civil War. The setting is the beautiful Virginia countryside, and the narrative is peopled with unusual characters; the mountain people, grim disapproving "Republicans", and Sapphira's African slaves, who are, and doubtless were meant to be, the most interesting figures in the book.

Description: SAPPHIRA AND THE SLAVE GIRLis Cather's last novel, a retrospective portrait of a society and conditions that have vanished forever in the Old South. The stain of slavery is seen through the relationship of Sapphira Colbert to her black maid, Nancy. Sapphira presides over her Back Creek Valley property with disciplined resolution; her husband, Henry, runs the Mill and sleeps there too, their marriage a formality. By 1865 Sapphira is one of the few Virginians who still owns slaves, a policy Henry finds increasingly difficult to countenance. Sapphira's life is an arid one and, confined to a wheelchair, she has ample opportunity for speculation. When she overhears a conversation linking her husband's name with Nancy, that speculation festers and the horrific potential of Sapphira's power is unleashed . . . Fine, first edition, first printing in green cloth boards, in very good (moderate chipping to spine ends with a sm ddivot of paper loss at upper rear, not unexpected for a book of this vntage) mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} L105

Willa Sibert Cather (born Wilella Sibert Cather; 1873-1947) was an American writer known for her novels of life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Antonioa. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, a novel set during WWI. Sapphira and the Slave Girl is Cather's last novel. It is the story of Sapphira Dodderidge Colbert, a bitter white woman, who becomes irrationally jealous of a Nancy, a beautiful young slave. The work balances an atmospheric portrait of antebellum Virginia against an unblinking view of Sapphira's slaves. A first edition! Gift quality.
