Lot 144 | Daniel Deronda
Valeur estimée
$ 4 000 – 6 000
Fine first edition in original parts. Daniel Deronda tells the story of an aristocratic young man who, in rescuing a young woman, is introduced to Jewish life in Victorian London. Eliot's clear sympathetic support for the Zionist cause made this work, which was to be her last novel, also her most controversial. In spite of her readers' seeming reluctance to accept the Jewish element of the story, the novel was a success for Eliot, selling 8,000 copies of the edition in parts. Baker & Ross A11.1a.
Eight volumes, octavo. Original printed gray-green wrappers (a little wear to spine ends; first gathering in vol.1 a little loose; wrapper beginning to separate from vol. 2; lacking advert slip in vol. 1 and erratum in vol. 3, otherwise as called for); custom box.
