Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Exceptionally rare three American first year editions bound as one volume in three-quarter brown leather binding with tooled leather bands and gilt lettering on the spine and marbled end pages. Binding is firm and leather is stable with moderate wear to the edges; pages dusty with age toning and light to moderate foxing/soiling. Height measures 9.25-inches. Double column text. Volumes include: 1.Jane Eyre dated 1848 with Currer Bell listed as edited by, 174 pages. 2. Wuthering Heights dated 1848 with the book's author mis-attributed to "the author of Jane Eyre" when in fact it was written by her sister Emily Bronte, 112 pages. Published by Coolidge & Wiley in Boston near the same day as the Harper & Brothers, NY edition so uncertainty exists in the scholarship as to which edition first appeared in America; however, the Coolidge edition appears as the less common edition. 3. Shirley dated 1850 with Currer Bell 'Author of Jane Eyre" listed as author, 206 pages. These American editions are generally less common than their British counterparts and rarely found bound in one volume. Rare opportunity to own three editions that revolutionized and forever changed English literature.

First Edition
Condition: Very good minus. First US edition of the wild Gothic tale of romance and betrayal, published only a few months after the nearly unobtainable London first, bound with another novel, NOW & THEN by Samuel Warren, published by Harper the same year. The tale of the moors remains one of the most polarizing novels in the English tradition, yet its preeminence in that tradition is beyond doubt. Brutality and passion drive the plot, which is subtly executed with a virtuosity unmatched even by the author's famed sisters. The complexity of the main characters, who exhibit equally dramatic virtues and vices, was a provocative choice in the Victorian era, when protagonists typically acted with exemplary conduct. As a result, the story of Catherine and Heathcliff has become a turbulent dream of our collective psyche. This copy has been bound with another imprint from the same publisher, Samuel Warren's NOW & THEN, a historical novel beginning with a country family's home under threat from the land expansions of a nearby earl. Warren was a best-selling British novelist of the era; his TEN THOUSAND A YEAR (1840-1) was described by THE AMERICAN JOURNAL as "destined in British literature to some such rank as 'Don Quixote' holds in Spain" (alas). NOW & THEN was praised by the TIMES for its "language as masculine and eloquent as any the English tongue can furnish." This US edition of WUTHERING HEIGHTS was published only a few months after the London, which is legendarily scarce: recent copies have all sold for into the six figures. Emily Brontë would die of tuberculosis only eight months after this edition was published. An important edition of the masterwork that has baffled and intrigued us for generations. 12mo. 7.25'' x 4.75''. Modern full green goatskin, raised bands, gilt-stamped spine and gilt-ruled boards. New marbled endpapers. 290; 288 pages. Significant dampstaining affecting about three-quarters of text block. Boards slightly bowed.
softcover. Condition: very good. 1st. First US edition in softcover. Part One. Book in very good condition. It looks like that something had been previously sewn onto covers and first two front free end papers but was then removed.

First Edition
First edition in French of Wuthering Heights (1847) which also includes the first significant critical study of Brontë in French as its preface by the translator. Wyzewa was the first writer to formally introduce Emily Brontë into France - the only prior attempt, thirty-four years earlier, had been a brief allusion to her as the sister of Charlotte Brontë in an article by Emile Montégut for the Revue des deux mondes. Wyzewa gives both an account of the critical reception of Wuthering Heights in England and a biographical sketch. The title Wuthering Heights was not attached to the novel in French before the succeeding edition of 1925, entitled Les Hauts de Hurlevent.Téodor de Wyzewa, born Teodor Wy ewski in Poland (1862-1917) emigrated to France in 1869. A critic of both literature and music, he was one of the pioneers of symbolism and made his name with brilliant analyses of poems by Mallarmé. 16mo (180 × 120 mm), pp. xxviii, 351, [1] (blank). Marginal browning. Original printed yellow wrappers. Very slight fragility to the wrappers with tiny loss to upper forecorner of upper cover. An excellent copy of a rare and fragile book. [Exceptionally rare. Worldcat lists the British Library copy as the only copy outside France. No US copies located.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. What could they have had in common-Count Balthazar Klossowski de Rola, the Paris-born modern artist (better known as Balthus) who has filled scores of canvases with paintings of female nudes, and Mistress Emily Brontë, the mid-nineteenth century British spinster who seems never to have left the Yorkshire moors? Precisely, those moors. In his youth, the Count visited that wild landscape and, in 1933, made a series of drawings based on her gripping novel. Some say that he saw himself as Heathcliff. Sixty-one years later, and after creating a vast array of famous paintings, many reminiscent of those drawings, Balthus agreed in 1994 to have The Limited Editions Club present, for the first time in their destined context, the entire suite of fifteen drawings. Happy to behold their fruition, Balthus wrote an Afterword for the book. Fifteen lithographs and Afterword by Balthus. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each signed by Balthus. The Balthus drawings have been turned into lithographic plates and printed, in brown-toned black ink, on fine Japanese paper by Bruce Porter at his Trestle Editions in New York City. They were mounted on mould made paper from the Arches mill, in Epinal, France. The text was also printed on this paper, uniquely watermarked with the coat of arms of the family Klossowski de Rola. The book is bound in Nigerian goatskin dyed gray-green to suggest the Yorkshire moors. Linen covered and lined case. One Volume, 12-3/4 x 16-1/2 inches. As the publisher, we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New (NOS). Signed by Illustrator(s).

First Leighton edition, signed limited issue, number 256 of 450 copies signed by the artist, and uncommon in such collectible condition. Clare Leighton's (1898-1989) woodcuts inspired the set design for the 1939 film adaptation of the novel starring Laurence Olivier, and their brooding influence has been seen in all subsequent adaptations. "Convinced that wood-engraving was an art for the masses rather than for an élite, Clare Leighton worked independently of the private presses. Her popular success was founded on a disciplined technique, powerful compositions, and a gravity of content and sincerity of feeling that derives from artists such as Samuel Palmer" (ODNB). Wuthering Heights was first published as part of a three-decker with Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey on 4 December 1847. It has become regarded as one of the most extraordinary novels of the 19th century, combining passionate and vindictive characters, a moorland setting, casual violence, self-destructive love, and a vengeful theme, all held together with "the complete absence of any moral tone or purpose - a quality almost unique in Victorian fiction" (ODNB). Quarto. Original black cloth, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, top edge black, others untrimmed, partially unopened. With original glassine. Housed in publisher's white card box. Engraved frontispiece with tissue guard and 11 similar plates. Glassine a little shrunk, box rubbed and wormed: a fine copy in near-fine glassine and very good box.

First Hungarian edition. Publisher's full cloth binding. With a biography of Emily Bronte. Also scarce in Hungary. - -- - The translator István Sötér (1913-1988) Hungarian writer, literary historian, essayist, university professor. Between 1931-1935, he was a member of the Eötvös Collegium in Budapest, majoring in French-Hungarian-German. In 1935-36 he was a fellow at the École normale supérieure in Paris, and in 1936 he was a French lecturer and librarian at the Eötvös Collegium. Between 1960 and 1969 he was President of the Hungarian PEN Club, between 1970 and 1973 President of the International Comparative Literature Association (AILC), Honorary Doctor of the Sorbonne, and a recipient of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. István Sötér called it an "ideal novel" because "the depiction offers a felicitous, almost accidental completeness that few others besides Dostoevsky have". In his opinion, "Wuthering Heights is the most demonic work of 19th century English literature.".
