hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Osgood, McIlvaine and Co., 1897. Formatting: 8vo, pp. [x], 338. Condition Report: Good. The book maintains its structural integrity without major flaws to the binding, but exhibits noticeable blanching and a damp stain to the upper right corner of the front board, which corresponds to a tide mark on the fore-edge of the text block. The original dark green ribbed cloth boards show light surface rubbing and minor softening to the spine ends, yet the gilt tooling of the front roundel and spine lettering remains impressively bright and unoxidised. Internally, the hinges are secure, and while the endpapers display light spotting, the majority of the pages are clean and tidy. Catalogue Note: This is the first edition in book form, issued as Volume XVII of Hardy's "Wessex Novels" series. The volume is presented in the publisher's original dark green ribbed cloth, featuring the distinctive "TH" monogram roundel. The text is illustrated with a frontispiece etching by H. Macbeth-Raeburn and includes a fold-out map of "The Wessex of the Novels" at the rear. First editions ofÂThe Well-Beloved remain readily available on the open market, though finding copies without rubbing or condition issues to the original cloth is becoming increasingly uncommon. Set primarily on the Isle of Slingers (based on Hardyâs native Isle of Portland), The Well-Beloved follows the life of sculptor Jocelyn Pierston and his lifelong pursuit of an idealised vision of feminine perfection. Spanning forty years, the narrative traces Pierston's infatuation with three generations of women from the same family, the Caros, exploring themes of transient love, artistic obsession, and the inescapable cycle of generations against a rugged, timeless landscape.

It is Hardy's penultimate novel which appeared previously in serialised form as The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved in The Illustrated London News in 1892. Here it was considerably revised, for book publication. The setting for the work, as with so much of Hardy's fiction, is Dorset; in this case the Isle of Portland which is referred to here as the Isle of Slingers. With a fairy tale feel the novel tells the story of the sculptor Jocelyn Pierston who falls in love, over twenty-five years, with three generations of the same family - the first woman a romantic ingenue, the second a worldly coquette, the third a shy, well-educated virgin. Unsurprisingly the novel has been subject to much psychological interpretation over the years, centring around the subject of male desire.…
