About This Item
London : Chapman & Hall, 1882. First edition. An uncommon late Trollope title - love, marriage, politics and class divisions. Lady Frances Trafford falls for a post-office clerk, her brother, Lord Hampstead, pays court to Marion Fay, a humble Quaker. "A course (two courses indeed) of true love that does not run quite smooth, a strong contrast of polite and by no means polite society, a Government office and its humours, some hunting scenes, an anonymous letter, the vain endeavours of crabbed age to control generous youth - these are the ingredients of 'Marion Fay', and it must be confessed that most of them have met before inside covers bearing Mr. Trollope's respected name. But what of that?" (Pall Mall Gazette, 22nd June 1882). Three volumes. Crown 8vo (182 x 115mm). viii,(304); viii,282; viii,(272)pp. Bound, with half-titles but without the final blank in vol.ii, in an elegant later (mid twentieth-century) half red morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe; top edges gilt; internally some occasional light thumbing and spotting, but a very good set. Bookseller's label of Henry Sotheran Ltd. in vol.i. Sadleir 64.
