About This Item
Published by Collins Clear-Type Press, c.1900. First edition thus. Undated. Illustrated Pocket Classics. Illustrated by Wilmot Lunt. 456pp. Condition: Very Good.
Bound in original red cloth boards with title and decoration in gilt to the spine. Some fading to the spine and a little rubbing and bumping to the boards, but the binding is otherwise in smart condition. Inside, the pages are clean and bright and free from marks or damage save for a touch of toning.
In all, this is a very smart edition of this novel by Lord Lytton. Originally published in 1829, this novel was part of Lytton's four-part series, the 'Pelham Novels'. It is set in the late 17th Century and tells the story of a love affair between Devereux and the beautiful Lady Henrietta Temple. Lytton brings the tale to life beautifully with his vivid descriptions of both the characters and the period in which the novel was set.
