About This Item
Spine is tight, but has some cosmetic creasing. Clean, unmarked interior. Pages are toned. Moderate shelf-wear to the covers, including some areas of light creasing and soiling. Bloomsbury Group founder and biographical innovator Strachey's chronicle of the epochal nineteenth-century sovereign features a cover typical of 'Big Look Book' innovator Paul Bacon, known for his use of negative space and large, bold titling type, as seen in his iconic first editions of both Catch-22 and Portnoy's Complaint. 311 pp.
Synopsis
This is the definitive biography of Britain’s greatest monarch, who “was hailed at once as the mother of her people and as the embodied symbol of their imperial greatness.” “One of the surpassingly beautiful prose achievements of our time” (Chicago Daily News). Index; illustrations.
