Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. EARLY LETTERS OF JANE WELSH CARLYLE (WIFE OF THOMAS CARLYLE) EDITED BY D.G. RITCHIE 1889. If you are a student of English literature, you may have encountered mention of Thomas Carlyle s wife, Jane Welsh Carlyle. She was widely acclaimed for her letter writing habits and skills and even Carlyle…himself deferred to her skills in that medium. Find out for yourself; please find: Early Letters of Jane Welsh Carlyle together with a few of later years and some of Thomas Carlyle, all hitherto unpublished. This small hard cover book (6 x 9 inches, 332 pages) was published by Swan Sonnenschein & Co. of London, dated 1889 (and presumably, the First Edition gauging by the date of the Preface). The book is bound in dark green boards with embossed framing on the cover and gilt titles on the spine. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are just slightly rubbed and bumped but nothing serious. The gilt titles on the spine are fully legible. Inside, there is an extensive inscription, through several owners who knew each other and starting from the editor. The early and late pages show some light foxing but this does not seem to penetrate the interior pages. Both hinges are cracked but the binding still seems firm. This book is not ex-library or a remainder. Language: ENG.

Aggiungi al carrelloFirst edition of this collection of letters reflecting Victorian life. Octavo, bound in three quarters morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers, and tissue-guarded frontispiece. In very good condition. Clipped newspaper article regarding Edin…burgh University acquiring the collection of forty original letters written by Jane Welsh and eleven by Thomas Carlyle adhered to the second free endpaper. Edited by David G. Ritchie. Bookplate to the front pastedown. 'Early Letters of Jane Welsh Carlyle' (1889), offers a valuable glimpse into the intellectual and domestic life of one of Victorian Britainâs most perceptive correspondents. Jane Welsh Carlyleâs letters, marked by wit, irony, and acute observation, reveal both her literary gifts and the complexities of her marriage to historian Thomas Carlyle, whose own letters are included for context. Ritchieâs editorial framing reflects late nineteenth-century interest in private correspondence as a means of illuminating the character and genius of public figures, while also preserving Janeâs voice as more than merely an adjunct to her husbandâs reputation.
