Edition: First Edition
Features: Arrowsmith's Bristol Library #5. First edition under new author. This edition of Elliot's THE RED CARDINAL was preceded by a two-volume edition published in 1884 under the pseudonym of "Florentine." Locke Vol. 1 P78. Brown cloth with gold lettering to spine. 182 pages. Weird Novel of the supernatural set in Italy.
Book Condition: Very Good: Minor bumping and rubbing to corners and spine ends.
Notes: Frances Minto Elliot (1820–1898) was a prolific English writer, primarily of non-fiction works on the social history of Italy, Spain, and France and travelogues. She also wrote three novels and published art criticism and gossipy, sometimes scandalous, sketches for The Art Journal, Bentley's Miscellany, and The New Monthly Magazine, often under the pseudonym "Florentia." Largely forgotten now, she was very popular in her day, with multiple re-printings of her books in both Europe and the United States. Elliot had a wide circle of literary friends, including Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and Wilkie Collins. Collins dedicated his 1872 novel Poor Miss Finch to her, and much of the content in Marian Holbe's conversations in The Woman in White is said to be based on her.
