Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Very slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. This book is set in a provincial city - readily identifiable as Bath - towards the end of the last century. Bothing is left of the city's former splendour as a fashionable Georgian spa except its fine Palladian architecture. Topographically the ideal city, it has declined into genteel seediness and its periphery is a slum. The novel takes place over one summer. Two events concentrate the minds of the comfortable and wealthy bourgeoisie: an impending royal visit, and the architectural competition to design a new hotel in the centre of the city. Upon the city falls all the excitement of the royal visit. Queen Victoria comes to open the new Municipal Library and see the winning design for the new hotel. But the chosen design is a surprise, implying sinister machinations behind the scenes; the whiff of corruption leads to the discovery of a far more appalling corruption at the heart of the city. Decorous appearances fall apart to reveal terribe secrets. 219 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
