Her Infinite Variety, edited by E. V. Lucas and first published in 1908, is a charming Edwardian anthology celebrating literary portraits of women drawn from a wide range of English authors. Bringing together selections from Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Burns, and others, the volume reflects both the taste and sensibility of the early twentieth century, combining sentiment, wit, and moral reflection in a manner characteristic of Lucas's editorial work. This third edition of December 1908 is presented here in an especially attractive Bumpus binding, with red leather spine and corners, raised bands, and gilt titles, complemented by striking feathered marbled boards and matching endpapers. Bumpus bindings, produced for the London bookseller and binder Bumpus Ltd. of Oxford Street, are well regarded for their quality and decorative appeal, and remain highly collectible in their own right.
