About the Item

A handsome selection of George Meredith's works, uniformly presented here in half morocco by Sotheran & Co. Revised editions. A fifteen-volume set comprising the works of George Meredith, a prominent Victorian novelist and poet whose greatest successes include 'Diana of the Crossways' and 'The Egoist', whilst his earliest full-length novel 'The Ordeal of Richard Feverel' briefly scandalised contemporary literary circles. Uniformly bound in signed half crushed morocco by Sotheran, with cloth boards and marbled endpapers. With a tissue-guarded frontispiece to each volume. Including the following works: 'Beauchamp's Career' (1897) 'The Tale of Chloe and Other Stories' (1898) 'The Amazing Marriage' (1900) 'Rhoda Fleming: A Story' (1901) 'Evan Harrington: A Novel' (1901) 'The Tragic Comedians: A Study in a well-known Story' (1901) 'Sandra Belloni: Originally Emilia in England' (1902) 'The Ordeal of Richard Feverel: A History of a Father and Son' (1902) 'Lord Ormont and His Aminta: A Novel' (1903) 'An Essay on Comedy and the Uses of the Comic Spirit' (1903) 'Vittoria' (1903) 'The Shaving of Shagpat: An Arabian Entertainment' (1903) 'One of Our Conquerors' (1903) 'The Adventures of Harry Richmond' (1904) 'The Egoist: A Comedy in Narrative' (1906) Condition Uniformly bound in signed half crushed morocco by Sotheran, with cloth boards and marbled endpapers. Externally, very smart, with really only the odd mark to the boards and spines and a touch of shelf wear. Decorative bookplate of one Hugh Montgomery to the front pastedowns. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright, with spotting to the fore-edge affecting the odd page. Overall: Very Good Indeed
