LAMAS, Maria, editor
The Glass; or, The Trials of Helen More. A Thrilling Temperance Tale
First edition. Illustrated gray wrappers. 32pp. Tears mostly confined to the rear panel, modest chips, a little foxing in the text, a handsome very good copy. Cautionary tale of a woman temperance advocate who embraces the bottle, seduces teetotaling men into drinking, marries one of the fallen men, and loses her husband and child through her own irresponsibility and dependence on the bottle. An original tale that has recently received some attention from feminists for the portrayal of the protagonist not so much as a victim of her circumstances, but as the engine of her own fate, and in some measure as chastened, but not necessarily repentant.
