Hardcover. Condition: Fair. A Comedy of Conscience by S. Weir Mitchell follows Miss Serena Vernon, who is described as a "spinster by choice." Beautifully written, the novel may be read in part as an interesting social history of early twentieth century America. The author Silas Weir Mitchell (1829-1914) himself was fascinating figure. A physician by trade, he was an army surgeon who is credited with developing the later controversial treatment of the "rest cure." In addition to the numerous medical articles he wrote on a wide variety of topics, he anonymously published poetry and other works, including short stories and stories for children. This beautiful art nouveau edition of his novel A Comedy of Conscience may be rated as being in Fair condition. There are some remnants of an old sticker on the cover, the top and bottom of the spine is somewhat worn, and there is some light bumping and wear to the corners. There is discolouration to the tops and bottoms of the pages, and the front hinge is cracked. The binding in general is tight, though there is at least one loose page. Nevertheless, an aesthetically pleasing and readable copy.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This captivating book follows the journey of Serena Vernon, a spinster who finds her tranquil life turned upside down when she discovers a valuable diamond ring on a trolley car. As she tries to determine the rightful owner, she grapples with questions of conscience, social expectations, and the complexities of human nature. Rooted in the social norms and etiquette of its time, the narrative explores the tension between Serena's desire to do the right thing and the potential consequences it may bring. The author delves into the moral dilemmas that arise when personal principles clash with societal pressures, deftly weaving in themes of honesty, responsibility, and the search for justice. Through Serena's introspective journey and interactions with a diverse cast of characters, the book illuminates the nuances of human behavior and the delicate balance between personal integrity and the expectations of the world. Ultimately, it invites readers to reflect on the choices they make and the often-unforeseen paths they can lead us down.
