About This Item
Villette in two volumes by Currer Bell (Charlotte Bronte). Leipzig, Germany Published by Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1857. Tauchnitz Edition.
This is an extremely RARE edition, I can find no others available.
Among the challenges Charlotte encountered was the prejudices regarding women and authors so Christian names positively masculine, while we did not like to declare ourselves women, because – without at that time suspecting that our mode of writing and thinking was not what is called "feminine".Description: Black calf leather spine with 5 bands, gilt lettering and lines; marble boards, marble end papers. Warm ivory toned pages are clean, unmarked. Strong, tight spine; green satin page marker. Overall condition is very fine.
