Hardback. Condition: As New. No Jacket. Ernest C. Peixotto (illustrator). Dawson, Emma Frances. An Itinerant House and Other Ghost Stories. Edited by John Pinkney and Robert Eldridge with an Introduction by Robert Eldridge. Portland, Maine: Thomas Loring & Co., 2007. First printing of this expanded edition. Octavo, pp. [i-xvii] xviii-lx [lxi-lxiv] [1-3] 4-266 [267-268: blank] [269: colophon] [270-272: blank]. Original publisher's dark green decorated cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold. Illustrated with ten black and white line drawings by Ernest C. Peixotto, plus facsimile of prospectus to 1897 edition, and frontispiece with portrait of author, her gravestone and facsimile of her signature. A new copy without dust jacket as issued. #243. $25. This edition reprints the contents of the 1897 William Doxey first edition, adding three additional ghost stories by Dawson from local periodicals, plus a translation by Dawson of a German supernatural tale, plus short pieces about Dawson and her work by contemporaries, plus a long introduction giving historical and critical commentary and offering the first reliable, well-researched sketch of the author's life. Limited to 500 numbered copies. The editors argue that Dawson was "the author of the most distinctive ghost stories written by an American woman in the late nineteenth century." Her dedication to this very specific type of story (all concern ghosts), which she practiced mainly in the 1870s and 1880s, sets her apart from most other contemporary short-story authors who dipped into the supernatural now and then, some with more persistence than others, but all with more varied focus. So does her sophisticated technique, which skillfully diffuses a fog of mystery throughout her stories. Dawson was a musician and music teacher and was very well acquainted with works for the stage (as her highly cultured allusions demonstrate), and her technique is essentially theatrical. She sets forth vivid, detailed set descriptions, richly ornamented dialogue, and concise "stage directions" (that is to say, action). She very seldom intrudes into the thoughts and feelings of her characters. Her stories, invariably tragic and generally centered on a doomed romance, are all set in the doomed San Francisco that was burned to the ground in 1906 following the great earthquake. They have "an elusive something defying analysis, even description," as Ambrose Bierce put it, who called her 1897 collection "a work of supreme genius." As the introduction states, "Dawson's ghosts, in more than one story, have foreknowledge of the future -- an important break from their Gothic ancestors, who were typically chained to the past . again and again in these stories we discover that the will of the dead is stronger than the will of the living." This definitive edition of her thirteen supernatural stories should help establish the case that the author's significance far outweighs the quantity of her output.

Octavo, original black cloth, printed paper labels affixed to front and spine panels. First U.S. edition. One of the many anthologies that Rhys and Dawson-Scott edited, now rather uncommon. Sources range from the Arabian Nights to standard authors such as Henry James, de Maupassant, O. Henry and Lafcadio Hearn to obscure ones such as Austin Harrison, Edgell Rickwood, A. H. Hamer, etc. Dawson-Scott also wrote some supernatural fiction. A bit of rubbing to cloth at edges, spine label age-darkened, top edge of text block dusty, a sound, good to very good copy. (#112154).
