The Vicar of Wakefield.
GOLDSMITH'S VICAR OF WAKEFIELD
London: Charles Tilt, 1836.
12mo (4.25" tall). Full red morocco, very pretty circular gilt tooling to spine and both boards. All edges gilt. Fine engraved frontispiece plate. Neat inscription dated 1839 to front endpaper. Very slightly marked.
A superb small binding of Goldsmith's classic work. The Vicar of Wakefield was Goldsmith's only novel and is now acknowledged as his finest writing. As well as a charming comedy, the novel is an artful send-up of many of the familiar literary conventions of his day: the pastoral scene, the artificial romance, the stoic bravery of the hero.
