Jessie Loring marries a man she does not love because everyone agrees she should, and gives him her hand and nothing else — for the rest of both their lives. Arthur left school at thirteen, half-blind and apprenticed to a watchmaker, and became one of the most widely read Americans of his century; he wrote to instruct, and the instruction here is aimed squarely at the families who arrange these things. Fifty-five plates, from Redgrave and Munch among others, turn on the domestic interiors, family portraits and quiet waters where such bargains are struck.Show book

Julian Hawthorne grew up among Emerson, Thoreau and Melville, produced some fifty books and later went to prison for mail fraud over a mining stock; this 1879 novella is his best, and the horror is entirely psychological. Sixty plates by painters including Henry Fuseli and Richard Wilson follow the divided self through scenes of Milton, castles and abbeys, matching the novella's split life with images of doubled minds and ruined keeps.Show book
