Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. x, 258 pp. First Edition, 1905. "Of the four attempts at the composition of a novel, Love's Cross-Currents was the only one published in the author's lifetime. Written between 1862 and 1863 the epistolary novel was not published until 1877, when it was serialized in the Tatler between August and December, with the title A Year's Letters, by Mrs. Horace Manners, the difficulty experienced in finding a publisher being not a little aggravated by the author's insistence on anonymity. The work was reprinted in book form as Love's Cross-Currents in 1905, and at that time acknowledged as being by Swinburne (Burnet)." Faded spine with lightly rubbed boards, and age-toned bottom and fore- text block edges. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia.

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.
