Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's tan buckram with red and black lettering to spine and cover with red ornaments to both. (Stallman: 13) First edition. The Third Violet by Stephen Crane is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the main character, Will Hawker, a painter who returns to his family home in the countryside after time spent in the city. As he settles back into rural life, he encounters romantic interests and aspirations within a social setting filled with families vacationing at the nearby Hemlock Inn. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the bustling scene at a mountain train station, where Will disembarks, feeling an immediate sense of nostalgia and longing as he navigates the chaos of arriving guests. Hawker quickly becomes captivated by a young woman named Miss Fanhall, whose presence sparks both admiration and insecurity within him. As he meets his family and reflects on his artistic aspirations, tension builds both within him and in the competitive dynamics presented by the arrival of a wealthy rival, Oglethorpe. The opening chapters set the stage for exploring themes of love, aspiration, and social class amidst the backdrop of a vibrant summer in the country Condition: Corners gently bumped, lightly soiled and foxed, spine age toned else about very good.
