Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Undated, but circa 1895. 21 vols. Publisher's black cloth, gilt, top edges gilt. Spines slightly faded, some covers a bit marked, some endpapers embrowned, but a sound set of this handsome and very readable edition. With the armorial bookplates of Sir Geoffrey Fry Bt. The vols (all unnumbered) comprise: Scenes of Clerical Life (complete in 2); Adam Bede (2); The Mill on the Floss (2); Silas Marner, The Lifted Veil, Brother Jacob; Romola (2); Felix Holt, the Radical (2); The Spanish Gypsy; Middlemarch (3); Daniel Deronda (3); Impressions of Theophrastus Such; Essays and Leaves from a Note-Book; and The Legend of Jubal and other poems, old and new. "The 'Standard' edition, in 21 volumes, is a model of neatness," commented a Birmingham correspondent of The Academy, 18 December 1897, "- paper, print, and binding, all are perfection." "Geoffrey [Fry] belonged to a brilliant generation at Cambridge," wrote the first Baron Coleraine in The Times on Fry's death in 1960, "which flowered only briefly before it was cut down by the war. I remember his showing me the entertaining letters which passed, over a period of years, between him and Rupert Brooke, and I think, though I cannot be sure, that it was Maynard Keynes who introduced him to my father [Bonar Law, MP and Prime Minister, whom he served as Private Secretary, 1919-21, 1922-3]: at any rate, they were close friends. I have always thought that Geoffrey's spirit was scarred by the war, by the death in the splendour of their young manhood of so many of his friends, and especially by the death of a much-loved brother [Alfred, died of wounds received at the Somme, 1916]. But one cannot think of him as a melancholy being. Even in his later years which were clouded with ill health he was a brilliant conversationalist whose talk, knowledgeable, perceptive and witty, was always served with a sardonic seasoning . . . There must be very many who remember as clearly as I do, and with the same gratitude, sun-drenched days at Oare [Oare House, near Marlborough, refashioned for the Frys by Clough Williams-Ellis] with Geoffrey and his lovely and intelligent wife, walks high above Martinsell, and the long hours of easy talk which followed, about books and pictures and music and people.".

George Eliot (1819-1880) was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, one of the leading English novelists of the 19th century. Her novels are celebrated for their realism and psychological insights. She used a male pseudonym to ensure her works were taken seriously in an era when female authors were usually associated with romantic novels. Virginia Woolf called Middlemarch 'one of the few English books written for grown-up people'. It is not a romantic novel, though it is a very passionate one. It is anti-romantic. It does not lead from frustrated love to fulfilled love to climactic marriage; it begins with the mistaken marriage choices of its "heroine" and "hero" and shows the inexorable workings of their coming to terms with their folly. Both are idealists. Both are very intelligent.

Two vols, 8vo, I: pp.[iv], 363, [1, contents]; II: pp.[iv], 363, [1, contents]; light foxing to first and final leaves; nonetheless a very good set in contemporary tan buckram, gilt green-morocco lettering-pieces to spines; spines and corners lightly bumped; contemporary circular 'Manoir d'Aspremont' ink stamps with initials RC to half-titles.First edition in French, exceptionally rare, of George Eliot's celebrated semi-autobiographical novel The Mill on the Floss, translated with her approval by her friend and correspondent François d'Albert Durade, with whom she had lodged in Geneva from October 1849 to March 1850, and who painted what is perhaps her most famous portrait. Five days after her father's funeral in June 1849, Eliot, then aged thirty, travelled to Switzerland with her friends Charles and Cara Bray, staying on in Switzerland long after they had returned to England. In Geneva, she 'bravely took lodgings and spent a winter trying out her new found independence, and taking stock. A sympathetic family, the D'Albert Durades, took her in as a paying guest [François] painted her portrait in February 1850, representing her as modest, pensive, long-faced, but pleasant looking. Mary Ann spent her time in Geneva reading, walking, learning mathematics, and continuing with a translation (never to be finished) of Spinoza's Tractatus theologico-politicus which she had begun during her father's illness' (ODNB). In an October 1849 letter to the Brays, she describes François and his wife, the painter Julie d'Albert-Durade (née Covelle), whom Eliot affectionately called 'Maman', as 'really clever people people worth sitting up an hour longer to talk to' (Cross ed.I, p.166). François accompanied Eliot on her journey back to England five months later, and the two would exchange letters until the end of Eliot's life (although Durade would destroy her letters to him shortly thereafter). In an approbation to the half-title verso dated 28 June 1860 less than three months after the publication of the first English edition, which had sold 4600 copies within four days Eliot explicitly authorises her 'friend, M.D'Albert Durade, of Geneva, to translate into French my recently published novel "The Mill on the Floss"'. The two saw each other for the last time that June, during Eliot's visit to Switzerland with her husband, George Henry Lewes. Durade was also the translator of Eliot's Adam Bede (1861), Silas Marner (1863), Romola (1878), and Scenes of Clerical Life (1884). On receiving a proof copy of his Famille Tulliver, Eliot fondly writes to Durade that she 'shall glance at the pages, that I may imagine the translator more vividly by reading phrases which may have been in his mind a little too often for his patience, perhaps, in the long business of revision and proof-correcting. Yet I hardly need any help in bringing you and Maman before me, and hearing the tone of the two voices' (Cross ed.II, p.265). OCLC finds only two copies in the US (Morgan and Princeton) and none in the UK. Not in Library Hub. LorenzVIII, p.376.
