Octavo bound in three quarters morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands top edge gilt marbled endpapers and tissue-guarded frontispiece. In very good condition. Clipped newspaper article regarding Edinburgh University acquiring the collection of forty original letters written by Jane Welsh and eleven by Thomas Carlyle adhered to the second free endpaper. Edited by David G. Ritchie. Bookplate to the front pastedown. 'Early Letters of Jane Welsh Carlyle' 1889 offers a valuable glimpse into the intellectual and domestic life of one of Victorian Britain’s most perceptive correspondents. Jane Welsh Carlyle’s letters marked by wit irony and acute observation reveal both her literary gifts and the complexities of her marriage to historian Thomas Carlyle whose own letters are included for context. Ritchie’s editorial framing reflects late nineteenth-century interest in private correspondence as a means of illuminating the character and genius of public figures while also preserving Jane’s voice as more than merely an adjunct to her husband’s reputation.
