by Willa Cather

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1940.

First edition (stated).

Near fine in green cloth with clean and bright paper labels; in a very good, floral decorated dust jacket with nicks to the heel of the age-toned spine, and several tiny holes.

Willa Cather's last novel is a retrospective portrait of the Old South.

"Sapphira and the Slave Girl is set in Virginia just before the Civil War. Sapphira is a slave owner who feels she has come down in the world and channels her resentments into jealousy of her beautiful mulatto slave, Nancy. Sapphira’s daughter Rachel, an abolitionist, opposes her mother’s increasingly shocking attempts to persecute Nancy. The struggles of these three strong-willed women provide rich material for Cather’s narrative art and psychological insight."
