Copertina rigida. Condition: discrete. Prima edizione. Prima edizione. Testo inglese. Cm.22,2x13. Pg.XVIII, 498. Legatura in mz.pergamena con piatti marmorizzati. Opera adorna da 16 litografie fuori testo, assai brunite per il tipo di carta usato, raffiguranti Bagni di Lucca (cappella inglese, Villa Brodrick, Lucchio e il Ponte della Maddalena), Volterra (sarcofago etrusco, due vedute di Porta all'Arco, Porta Saracena), Certaldo (due vedute di Casa Boccacio), S.Gimignano (piazza centrale), oltre a ritratti della Contessa Matilda, del Duca Bonifazio, di Castruccio Antelminelli, di Uguccione della Faggiola e di Girolamo Savonarola. Le litografie sono opera del marito dell'Autrice, il Colonnello Stisted. Interessante testimonianza letteraria epistolare della profonda amicizia che, soprattutto nel XIX secolo, ha legato numerose famiglie inglesi alla Toscana, e in particolare ai Bagni di Lucca. La famiglia Stisted visse a lungo ai Bagni di Lucca, ospite a Villa Brodrick e la presente corrispondenza con Lady Knowles curata da Clotilda Elizabeth Stisted è una straordinaria documentazione di tale rapporto. Lady Knowles richiede all'amica notizie e informazioni per introdurre i figli allo studio della lingua e della cultura italiana, e Mrs.Stisted risponde con una lunga e ricchissima corrispondenza che si apre con una delicata dichiarazione d'amore verso il piccolo borgo toscano: "We love the fairest of lands, and would gladly pour out a tribute to the clime, where we have found comparative health, and enjoyed incomparable happiness during the last twelve years.". Segue una minuziosa descrizione dei luoghi, con occhio attento a fenomeni naturali e sociali , dalle inondazioni al gioco del "tiro della forma di formaggio". Quindi un'ampio percorso storico, da Plinio a Cesare, dai Longobardi alla Contessa Matilda, da Castruccio a Paolo Guinigi, dai Baciocchi e i Napoleonidi ai maggiori personaggi lucchesi della prima metà del XIX secolo. E ancora si parla di arte e si dettagliano minuziosamente i frequenti viaggi nelle vicine località di Volterra, Certaldo, San Gimignano, Poggibonsi, etc. 900 gr.
