1862réf. 51651Smith Elder & Co. 1862. 8vo. Fifth Edition with engraved title-vignette; original yellow cloth printed in black uncut expertly recased a well-preserved bright clean crisp copy. With publisher's advertisement on front paste-down 2pp catalogue at end and rear endpaper advertisements. Gaskell's standard 'life' was first published as two volumes in 1857; the subsequent controversy resulted in the work's through revision for the third edition later in the same year. This is almost certainly the fifth edition published in the format of the seven-volume Cheap Edition of the Bronte novels. In this issue the first four volumes together with the second edition of the Poems are advertised on the final leaf and the series as a whole is printed on the rear cover. VERY SCARCE IN THE ORIGINAL BINDING. Smith pp.40-41; Wise pp.219-220 . Smith Elder & Co., hardcover

Historic library bookplate of Marlborough Public Library to upper boards; ink stamps of the same throughout. Rubbing to boards; corners bumped; light gouges to spine with slight loss to label of vol. 1. Very occasional light scattered foxing but generally internally clean. A serviceable set. The first biography of Charlotte Bront�. Gaskell drew together a dearth of sources including correspondence with those who knew Bront� in life to produce this admirable if unreliable biography of the author. Following an accusation of slander by living individuals portrayed unfavourably in the biography the publisher retracted the first edition and produced a second redacted edition. This edition is a useful but flawed source for Bront�'s life as Charles Kingsley wrote to Gaskell in the wake of the book's publication: 'You have had a delicate and great work to do and you have done it admirably. Be sure the book will do good. It will shame literary people into some stronger belief that a simple virtuous practical home life can be consistent with highly imaginative genius; and it will shame too the prudery of a�carefully whitewashed age into believing that purity�is quite compatible with the knowledge of evil.'
