Sobre este artículo
London: Chapman and Hall,, 1872. New edition of Emily Eden's second novel. It "was published anonymously in 1859 with the help of her lifelong friend Lady Theresa Lewis, who negotiated Eden's terms - no less than £300 and early publication - with Richard Bentley, the publisher. In this lively satirical novel, the pregnant heroine Lady Blanche Chester, whose husband has been posted abroad, shares the middle-class home of the Hopkinsons with the nouveau riche Baron Sampson and his wife. Blanche revises her class prejudices after experiencing the warmth of the Hopkinson family" (ODNB). Octavo. Contemporary dark green half morocco, flat raised bands, titles to compartments gilt, decorations to bands gilt, marbled sides, edges sprinkled red, pale brown endpapers. Ownership inscription to front pastedown. Spine faintly sunned, boards lightly rubbed, a few short splits along inner hinges, text block slightly strained in a couple of places. An excellent copy.
