1943rif. 35175New York: Random House 1943. First edition thus. Illustrated with full page wood engravings by Fritz Eichenberg. 8vo green cloth over illustrated boards lettered and decorated in gilt on the spine. xiii 212 pp. A very attractive copy with mild toning and slight wear at the tips internally clean and in excellent condition. A HANDSOME EDITION WITH DRAMATIC WOOD ENGRAVINGS BY EICHENBERG THROUGHOUT. A prize title of English Literature-this was Bronte's only novel and it was unconventional and 'disagreeable' to contemporary reviewers who tended to dwell on its morbid and painful aspects. Charlotte Bronte in a Preface to the 1850 edition felt compelled to write an apology for the work's intensity. But early neglect was overtaken by 'a general recognition of the mastery of an extremely complex structure acute evocation of place poetic grandeur of vision and highly original handling of Gothic and Romantic elements inherited from lesser works.'
