About This Item
London: David Nutt, 1906. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 8" by 5". None. The first edition of this interesting novel by Arnold Bennett. The first edition of this interesting novel, discussing divorce in the early twentieth century. Part of Arnold Bennett's Five Towns novels, it is a powerful read with a strong social message. It discusses divorce at the time, with detailed court proceedings, and comments on the way the act of divorce was seen and treated. Arnold Bennett was a prolific English author, best known for his novel writing. His Five Towns novels are set in a fictionalised version of the Potteries. He believed was that literature should be available to all ordinary people, and did not agree with the literary élite, belief that is reflected in his engaging and smooth writing. In the publisher's original red cloth binding, with titles stamped in black to front board and spine. Externally smart with minor shelfwear and slight bumping to head and tail of spine and extremities. Minor rubbing to upper joint. Spine has slightly faded. Previous owner's signature to front pastedown and front free endpaper Bertha Cross, undated. Internally, firmly bound. Minor spotting to edges, affecting the occasional page. Very Good
