Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Undated [c1932]. Reprint. Hardback in dustwrapper. 20 × 14.5cm, 317pp. The most famous Scottish novel of the early twentieth century, The House with the Green Shutters has remained a landmark on the literary scene ever since it was first published in 1901. Determined to overthrow the sentimental 'kailyard' stereotypes of the day, George Douglas Brown exposed the bitter pettiness of commercial greed and small-town Scottish life as he himself had come to know it. More than this, however, his novel lays bare the seductive and crippling presence of patriarchal authority in Scottish culture at large, symbolised by the terrible struggle between old John Gourlay and his weak but imaginative son. With five illustrations by Sidney Stanley. Condition: The book is in good readable condition, but with foxing to the green cloth and tanning to the page edges. The dustwrapper is very scruffy, with scratches and chips all over but is now within a protective sleeve.
