About this Item
Description:
Lakin, Howard. ROMANCING THE MOONSTONE. Mill Valley, California: Lakin & Marley, 1997. Monograph (6 x 9 inches, card covers). 21pp, as new. An antiquarian bookseller's catalogue solely devoted to important first editions representing the achievements of those Victorian authors who either specialized or excelled in the creation of Victorian genre fiction. Mysteries, detective stories, ghost stories, social satires, historical tales, children's classics, adventure classics, romance novels, tales of rural life, and ground-breaking "sensational" novels are well represented. Many of these first editions not only appear in original publisher's cloth but also in superb condition, and most have been photographed in color. High spots include works by Charlotte Bronte, Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, George Eliot, H. Rider Haggard, Thomas Hardy, J. S. Le Fanu, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Makepeace Thackeray, Anthony Trollope and H. G. Wells. Genre rarities by lesser-known authors are also emphasized and examined. Tongue-in-cheek preface discusses modern television's cannibalistic appropriation of Victorian plots. Seller Inventory # 003362
