This well-preserved copy of Nephi Anderson’s “Added Upon. a Story” offers a glimpse into the literary world of early 20th-century Mormon fiction. Published in 1898, it was one of the first novels to emerge from the Mormon cultural renaissance, a movement that sought to establish a distinct literary tradition within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Anderson, a prominent figure in this renaissance, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a Mormon missionary and teacher, weaving themes of faith, personal struggle, and the search for truth into his narratives. “Added Upon” is considered a seminal work that helped pave the way for future generations of Mormon authors. This 45th printing from 1980 is a testament to the enduring appeal and cultural significance of Anderson’s writing, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on Mormon literature or the religious and intellectual currents that shaped the American West.
