Synopsis
Excerpt from Love's Cross-Currents: A Year's Letters
His Novel in thirty Letters with its Prologue of five Chapters, was originally published in a short-lived London weekly, The Tailer, during the period from August asth to December 29th, 1877. It was issued under the pseudonym Mrs. Horace Manners, and while no doubt whatever exists as to its authorship, as one may easily discover from Mr. Wise's Bibliography, the work has never been publicly acknowledged by Mr. Swinburne.
Our reprint is made from a copy of le Tat! Formerly owned by Frederick locker-lampson. On a fly leaf he has noted in pencil: I should think this would some day be thought a curious book. It is never likely to be republished. F. L. A little lower on the same page he also makes known an interesting fact: I once had the ms. Swinburne lent it me, and I think it has been a good deal altered.

Love's Cross-Currents: A Year's Letters (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters from the year 1877 that explore the intimate lives of the English upper class. The book offers a glimpse into the era's social norms, particularly the role of women. One key theme of this novel is the hypocrisy surrounding the institution of marriage in Victorian society, which the central character Lady Midhurst wittily critiques. The novel examines the paradoxical beliefs of the time period; for example, the idea that divorce is impermissible, and yet British society prides itself on its low divorce rate. This book offers an insightful perspective of the Victorian era, especially regarding the lives of women, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the social history of the period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330302262_0
