Hardcover. Condition: Fine. London. The Keynes Press/British Medical Association. 1989. Reprint. Originally published in 1887 by Vizetelly and Co. Hard Cover. Demy 8vo 8¾" x 5½" [22.2cm x 13.9cm] approx. 285 pp. Beige marl coloured textured boards with black inset panel to upper board and spine. Bordered gilt titles to front and spine. Sharp cornered. No spine wear. Beautiful marbled endpapers with pink page to the reverse of the free endpapers. Attractive colour frontispiece and decorative title page with red titles and borders. To the rear matter is a limitation page stating that the edition is one of 300 numbered copies. No number has been entered as copy number. Pristine text block. Book is fine. There is some marking to the gilt panels but this is thought to be part of the design as it is uniform. Given the impact with which Julia Frankau entered late nineteenth-century literary society, it is curious that she is mostly unknown today. After her first novel Dr Phillips: A Maida Vale Idyll (1887) caused a scandal due to its bitter criticism of the West End Jewish community in which she was raised. Its discussion of euthanasia by a doctor was also controversial. Frankau's reputation as an enfant terrible was confirmed. It was not the ironic tone, the discourse of realism, or the unpleasant subject that was most shocking but rather that the novel, printed as it was under the pseudonym Frank Danby, was revealed soon after to have been penned by a woman, and one who thought the whole event rather amusing. The original publication was issued by the infamous Vizetelly (who had been prosecuted the previous year for issuing Émile Zola's work in English and sentenced to a prison term) but the press knew enough to expect 'a further excursion into the drains and dustbins of humanity.' Introduction by Stephen Lock. Charming line drawings in the text and as chapter tailpieces by Tabitha Stephen. A rare and extremely appealing copy of a significant novel. The boards will be covered with a 100 micron inert protective cover which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional photographs.
