About this Item

FIRST EDITION/2nd edn/FIRST EDITION. 3 vols. Uniformly bound in contemp. dark brown half diced calf, spines lettered in gilt & with raised gilt bands; spines sl. faded, sl. rubbed. Armorial bookplates of Sir Robert Joshua Paul. A nice set. See Sadleir 3333; Wolff 7269 (both full first editions). Although it is now regarded as one of the classics of Victorian popular fiction, Wood initially struggled to find a publisher for East Lynne, with both Chapman & Hall and Smith & Elder, rejecting her manuscript. It was eventually accepted by Richard Bentley, who correctly identified the novel's potential, paying the relieved author the princely sum of �600. Seller Inventory # 82421
