London: Chatto & Windus, 1905 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. x, 258 pp. First Edition, 1905. "Of the four attempts at the composition of a novel, Love's Cross-Currents was the only one published in the author's lifetime. Written between 1862 and 1863 the epistolary novel was not published until 1877, when it was serialized in the Tatler between August and December, with the title A Year's Letters, by Mrs. Horace Manners, the difficulty experienced in finding a publisher being not a little aggravated by the author's insistence on anonymity. The work was reprinted in book form as Love's Cross-Currents in 1905, and at that time acknowledged as being by Swinburne (Burnet)." Faded spine with lightly rubbed boards, and age-toned bottom and fore- text block edges. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Blue beveled cloth with gilt lettering to spine, and gilt top text block edge..
