Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is the First American Edition of Mrs. Humphry Ward's novel, "The History of David Grieve", published as a hardcover in 1892 in New York by Macmillan and Company. Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Augusta Ward, nee Arnold) was born in Hobart, Tasmania and was the niece of Matthew Arnold. With the publication of her immensely popular novel, "Robert Elsmere", Mrs. Humphrey Ward shocked Victorian society. That a woman would write a novel addressing theological issues was bad enough, but that she would dare to be critical of church, theology and faith was outrageous! There was a general crisis of faith stirring within the Anglican Church at that time, and this restlessness and indeterminacy of spirit is what Ward addressed. Ward envisioned a Christianity freed from miraculous elements - a Christianity that was down-to-earth and vigorous. She posited in her various novels, a church that fulfilled a social gospel of pious good works. Her characters, sympathetically drawn, reflected the situation of people around her - many of whom were intellectually the leading lights of her day. In the book here offered, "The History of David Grieve", Ward continued to probe the crisis of faith, dealing seriously with the issues, and creating, again, sympathetic characters. This is not your typical Victorian emotional pot-boiler, but a serious novel, written by a serious mind. Now all but forgotten, "The History of David Grieve" repays in good value a visit to its pages. Aside from the societal issues and the crisis of faith which the novel addresses, it presents a fully-rounded picture of Victorian middle-class life. Mary Augusta Arnold was kin to some of the leading minds of her time, including her own father and her uncle, Matthew Arnold, as well as Thomas Huxley and Leonard Huxley.

He set up a second household with Kate Lyon, with whom he had a further three children.

At the instigation of Mrs Frederic, Lyon was tried for manslaughter, but was acquitted. 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly-aged, with minor traces of two tissue mounts. She begins by stating that his letter has remained unanswered due to '[h]ealth which is not very strong and an unusual pressure of letters'. She is 'somewhat puzzled what to say', but while contributing five guineas, does not wish to be put on the committee of the fund 'for poor Mrs. Frederic & her children'. She concludes: 'I much admired some sides of Mr. Frederic's talent, but circumstances disclosed at the inquest were very painful, and my mind is so far from clear on the whole subject that I should prefer not to be on the Committee'. A postscript regarding the making out of the cheque for five guineas is in another hand. Loosely inserted is a slip of paper with a manuscript note (by Fisher?) regarding the author of the letter. From a batch of papers received by Fisher in connection with the fund.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. Mary Augusta Ward, née Arnold, (1851-1920) was a preeminent Victorian and Edwardian novelist who wrote under her married name as Mrs Humphry Ward. Her uncle was the poet Matthew Arnold. Ward's novels contained strong religious subject matter relevant to Victorian values. She was popular in the United States as well as Britain. Her book Lady Rose's Daughter was the best-selling novel in the United States in 1903, as was The Marriage of William Ashe in 1905. Ward's most popular novel was the religious "novel with a purpose" Robert Elsmere. Sir George Tressady was her 7th novel. It was originally published as a serial from 1895 to 1896. This is the FIRST TRADE EDITION and is a PRESENTATION COPY inscribed to the author's younger sister "E.M. Arnold with the writer's love." Ethel Margaret Arnold planned a stage career and had literary ambitions, later becoming known as a "New Woman Journalist." Her relationship with Ward was difficult, but she served as the model for Alice, the heroine's mentally unstable 'manic sister', in Eleanor (1900). This novel is somewhat of a sequel to Marcella as its heroine is a central character in this novel as the married Lady Maxwell. Tressady, the title character is a married baronet who falls in love with Marcella. Octasvo. Original green cloth boards with gilt title to spine and black title to front board.

WARD, Mary Augusta Arnold. The Writings of Mrs. Humphrey Ward. Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin (Riverside Press), 1909. Sixteen volumes. Octavo, three-quarter brown morocco, raised bands, elaborately gilt-decorated spines, marbled boards and endpapers, top edges gilt, uncut and unopened. $2500.Superb limited ÒAutograph Edition,Ó number 217 of only 750 copies, of the works of turn-of-the-century novelist Mary A. Ward, signed by her in Volume I, profusely illustrated with frontispiece photogravures (in two statesÑ one hand-colored) and numerous full-page plates of principal people and places.The declared aim of English novelist Mary Augusta Arnold Ward was ÒequalizationÓ in society. She was the granddaughter of Thomas Arnold, founder of Rugby School, and niece of the poet Matthew Arnold. A leading intellectual of her day, she supported higher education for women and was appointed as one of the first seven women magistrates in 1920. Ward began her writing career by contributing articles to magazines, while working on a childrenÕs book, Milly and Olly (1881). Her novels, 25 in number, Òdeal with social and religious themes, frequently contrasting traditional belief with the values of progress and intellectual freedomÓ (Drabble, 1044). Lady RoseÕs Daughter was the best-selling novel in America in 1903, as was The Marriage of William Ashe in 1905 (New York Times). Her most popular novel, however, was the religious Ònovel with a purposeÓ Robert Elsmere (1888), which traced the mental evolution and religious crisis of a young English clergyman. Ward was one of the founders of the British WomenÕs National Anti-Suffrage League in 1908 and became editor of the Anti-Suffrage Review. In accordance with this latter conviction, she published some of her subsequent writings under the name ÒMrs. Humphry Ward.Ó A beautifully bound set in fine condition. Signed. …
