Anne Thackeray Ritchie : Journals and Letters

Uncommon edition containing the letters and journals of Anne Thackeray Ritchie, daughter of William Makepeace Thackery, containing a great portrait of the thriving literary milieu of the moment, particularly of the place of a young woman within Victorian English society and literature. With detailed biographical commentary. Excellent overall condition hardcover in pictorical jacket. Binding is solid and strong. Boards are clean and firm in gray cloth. Dustjacket is very bright and attractive, with the only detriment being a small area where the silver gloss is scuffed away revealing the paper underneath on the front panel and a teeny puncture at back panel. Teeny closed tear and very light wear at the edges besides, and one very small scratch at the letter "m" in Burnham on the front. Now in brordart. Interior is spotless, bright, clean, appearing scarcely opened.
