Description
 
Written by William E. Butler, an Anglo-American bibliophile and exlibrist. This work is based on the finest collection of Cottin materials ever formed and illuminates from a book collector's standpoint major developments The book traces the publishing history of the novel and its numerous translations,  the bibliophilic search for manuscripts and copies, false attributions of translations, influences on other authors (including Alexander Pushkin, Jane Austen?, and writers of the  French Romantic school). It is accompanied by the full English text of Elizabeth, or The Exiles of Siberia, previously misattributed, and a catalogue of the Butler Collection, thoroughly indexed with an author's contract appended. Elizabeth, or The Exiles of Siberia was the fifth and last book by Sophie Cottin (1770-1807) and one of the best-selling novels throughout  the entire 19th century and well into the 20th.
