Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. Reprint. Introduction by David Ascoli. In this novel of the early 19th century is described, with a just blend of humour and pathos, life in a quite Cheshire village. Gentility is the keynote of Cranford, and the ladies practise "elegant economy" and a quaint social decorum. We have sketches of 19th century Cranford society; of the tragedy of the genial but noisy Captain Brown; of Miss Matty's unhappy romance; of the panic caused by a succession of purely fictitious robberies; of the flutter due to the visit of Lady Glemire, the widow of a Scottish baron. The episodes, however, are of secondary importance to the characters and customs of the day, delightfully presented. Wear and tear to D/J.…

8vo., Fifth? Edition, with engraved title-vignette; original yellow cloth printed in black, uncut, expertly recased, a well-preserved, bright, clean, crisp copy. With publisher's advertisement on front paste-down, 2pp catalogue at end and rear endpaper advertisements.
