Sobre este artículo
Gambit, Boston, Massachusetts, 1972. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good/Good. 1.0 kg; 461 pages, +1 blank, includes appendix, of some poems by A. J. Munby, bibliography, index. Original illustrated dust jacket. Text is illustrated with line drawings by the subject, and some photographs. Top edge of text block is tinted a pale blue, through which is visible minor traces of foxing, faint stain affecting only the outer upper edge of the front edge of the text block, and shelf marks to the base edge of the text block. The dust jacket is chipped, and rubbed, with some fading of the back strip section, and an abrasion mark in the middle of the illustration on the front panel. This biography disclosed for the first time one of the strangest love stories of the Victorian age, as recorded one of the most remarkable private diaries of the 19th century. During his lifetime Munby was known as a versifier of small but distinctive talents, a barrister concerned primarily with ecclesiastical affairs, and a fashionable bachelor about town. At his death in 1910, Munby bequeathed to Trinity College, Cambridge three deed boxes full of diaries and personal documents. It is largely on the contents of these boxes that this biography is based. For Munby had a lifelong obsession with the whole sub world of female manual workers -- women whose company he furtively pursued, whose photographs he avidly collected, and one of whom, a char woman called Hannah, he secretly married and kept as his own acknowledged wife for a quarter of a century. -- from the front fold over blurb roughly.
