Description: Kavanagh: A Tale Author: Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth Title: Kavanagh: A Tale Publication: London: W. Kent and Co., 1858. Edition: First U.K. Edition Description: London: W. Kent and Co., 1858. Birket Foster. First U.K. Edition. Hardcover. Good in the original publisher's binding, generally rubbed with some spots of discoloration, about a half-inch of tearing in the cloth at the head of the spine. Square and firmly bound though over-opened at page 48, gilt top edge, foxing on the endpapers and title page and sparsely throughout the text block. "Longfellow also used the novel to argue against the view, in the book propounded by a character based on Cornelius Mathews, that American literature must be entirely devoid of European influences and be exclusively national. Instead, Longfellow felt that American literature could and should be universalist, with its unique North American influences. He saw the use of European models not as imitation but as a "continuation" that Americans could be proud of" (ATQ qtd. in Wikipedia). Good.
