Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by George Bellows, Childe Hassam and James McNeill Whistler. A cold, exact young man arrives in a Southern boarding house to write a book on sociology and is slowly made human by the people at the table. Harrison's first novel was one of the best-selling books in America in 1911 and the reviewers were as surprised as anyone. This edition is bound with 58 plates of paintings by Edward Lamson Henry, Eastman Johnson, Abbott Handerson Thayer and George Bellows, and includes one restored, coloured in-text illustration.
