Description: The Imperialist, E Cotes (S J Duncan), 1904, Appleton - 1st Edition / 1st print. This copy published February, 1904 (stated), first edition and first printing (deduced). - 5 x 7.75 inches approx. ; 280 pages from Internet: Duncan is best known for her 1904 novel The Imperialist, which tells the story of Lorne Murchison, a young lawyer in Elgin, Ontario who becomes an advocate of imperial preferential trade and unsuccessfully runs for the Parliament of Canada for the Liberal Party. The book has been widely praised by scholars as a sensitive and perceptive portrait of small-town Ontario at the turn of the twentieth century, and at the social mores of the time and place. While it has been lauded for its subtle grasp of women's place in society, it has also been criticized for focusing on upper-class and middle-class people over workers and the poor, and for its racist depiction of Aboriginal people. Condition:Good-plus or better Condition for this vintage 1st edition/ 1st printing. Cover shows just mild wear, mostly to spine ends, and with a few little marks/stains. Coffee type splash stains on page edges, but do not enter into page inside. Gold letters and figures still bright. Inside covers are stamps of Tahoe Club (maybe a lending library). Hinges/binding are tight/strong. Very little or no age-tanning to paper. Interior appears all clean...almost no sign of wear. No DJ.
