Description: Mrs Campbell Praed - Christina Chard - 1896 New Edition published by Chatto & Windus A New Edition, in yellowback format. 336 pages + 2 of ads and a 32-page publisher's catalogue dated March 1896. The book is reasonably firmly bound in the original illustrated boards, which are somewhat, chipped, rubbed, grubby and bumped, with the webbing exposed at the hinges. The text block is quite age toned, foxed and dusty with cracking at points, there is a small hole to the title page and the rear illustrated advertising panel featuring Marie Antoinette on the eve of her execution has at some point slightly adhered and partially transferred to the final page of text. A beautiful, passionate, mysterious young woman arrives from Australia and takes London society by storm, determined to be revenged upon men. A novel that explores the nature of sexual and romantic relationships and society's perception and judgement of women, with discussions of the nature and purpose of art and occasional references to matters occult. Published two years after the 3 volume first edition, this cheaply produced one volume yellowback edition is quite a rarity, both commercially and in institutional holdings.
