About This Item
London: Methuen & Co., 1894. Ibsen wrote "Brand" in 1865; he considered his protagonist, a difficult man certainly, with a strict moral code, to be somewhat autobiographic. First published in English in 1891; this is a Very Good (Plus) copy of the Second Edition by Methuen (several publishers issued this title around the same time). Not common. Green cloth binding with silver titling on the spine and front cover. Clean text; xv, 301 pages, with 24 pages of publisher's adverts in the rear. The ads are dated October 1893; the Preface places the publication at December 1893, rather than 1894, on the Title Page.Light scattered spotting, mostly close to the endpapers. The corners are bumped but not frayed, and there is a bump across the top affecting both boards. Still, a very solid and attractive copy of an important play by a theatrical giant.. Second Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
