Richard Jefferies: A bibliographical study, George Miller and Hugoe Matthews — First Edition Publication: Aldershot, Scolar Press, 1993 Formatting: Thick 8vo, pp. [xxvii], 787. Condition Report: Near Fine. The volume presents a remarkably firm, square binding with the navy blue cloth boards remaining crisp and unrubbed, complemented by bright silver gilt lettering to the spine. The hinges are tight and the text block is clean, free of spotting, and uniformly bright throughout, indicating careful storage. The original dust jacket is entirely intact and vibrant, free of any chipping, tearing, or noticeable edge-wear, and is housed in a protective Mylar sleeve. An exceptional, collector-grade copy of a substantial reference work. Catalogue Note: First edition. Issued by Scolar Press, a publisher highly regarded for its authoritative scholarly bibliographies, this weighty tome stands as the definitive bibliographical reference for the Victorian nature writer Richard Jefferies. The text is supplemented by a black-and-white portrait frontispiece of the author. Such comprehensive, single-subject bibliographies from the early 1990s were often printed in relatively small print runs primarily aimed at institutional libraries and dedicated specialists, rendering true first editions scarce on the open market today, particularly in this unblemished state. The result of over twenty years of dedicated collecting and exhaustive research, George Miller and Hugoe Matthews's Richard Jefferies: A bibliographical study is an indispensable resource for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts of the great Victorian nature writer. The volume masterfully documents over 1,500 individual items, encompassing Jefferies's periodical contributions, original works, anthologies, and posthumous publications. Far more than a mere list, the authors provide deep biographical insights drawn from publishers' records and original correspondence, shedding new light on Jefferies's literary evolution and his profound influence on the tradition of British rural writing.…
