About this Item

Second edition. 8vo. Contemporary calf, rebacked in modern calf. One of the foundational texts of the Gothic novel. First published in 1777 as The Champion of Virtue, retitled for this 'second edition'. Reeve noted in the 1778 preface that "This Story is the literary offspring of The Castle of Otranto, written upon the same plan, with a design to unite the most attractive and interesting circumstances of the ancient Romance and modern Novel, at the same time it assumes a character and manner of its own, that differs from both; it is distinguished by the appellation of a Gothic Story, being a picture of Gothic times and manners." Rare. Contemporary ink name to front pastedown; contemporary calf rather worn.
