Franklin Evans; or The Inebriate: A Tale of the Times First hardcover edition. One of 700 copies printed by D.B. Updike at the Merrymount Press. Trifle rubbed at the crown, slightly spine faded, about fine. Walt Whitman's first book and only novel, a short extravagant temperance novel issued as a separate supplement to The New World, a monthly newspaper in 1842. The literary debut of one of the most important authors in all of American literature. An affordable alternative to the prohibitively expensive true first edition. [BTC #13211] |
