Item description from seller

George Henry Lewes: A Victorian Mind by Hock Guan Tjoa, Vol. 70 of the Harvard Historical Monographs, is a hardcover First Edition (1977) in Very Good condition, complete with a VG to VG+ dust jacket. The covers remain in good shape, though the upper corners are bumped. The binding is firm but slightly shelf-cocked, and there is minor abrasion on the front flyleaf. The interior pages are clean and unmarked, providing a ready-to-read copy. The dust jacket shows minor shelf wear but retains its visual appeal.This book offers a comprehensive and scholarly exploration of George Henry Lewes, a prominent intellectual figure of the Victorian period. Known as the consort of George Eliot, Lewes was much more than a companion to one of the greatest novelists of his time. He was a biographer of Robespierre and Goethe, a novelist, editor, critic, scientist, and philosopher. The book reconstructs Lewes theory of criticism, his social and political opinions, and evaluates his contributions to Darwinian scienceboth as an original thinker and as a popularizer. It also presents a clear summary of his metaphysical ideas drawn from his five-volume work *Problems of Life and Mind*.Lewes emerges as a multifaceted intellectual, contributing to literature, art, politics, social thought, and Victorian philosophy. This study restores him to his rightful place as a thinker whose writings merit attention, moving beyond his association with George Eliot to focus on his wider achievements.The author, Hock Guan Tjoa, is Lecturer in History and Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Malaya, adding depth and expertise to this succinct yet insightful analysis.This book will be carefully packaged to ensure protection during shipment.

Store description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.…
