Description
George Eliot [Mary Ann Evans]. Daniel Deronda. Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, February-September 1876.4 volumes in 8 parts, 8vo. Half-titles. Publisher's printed greenish-gray wrappers, cover text within single-rule border printed in red; housed in two custom quarter morocco folding cases.
FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL PARTS of Eliot's last completed novel, and the only one set in the Victorian society of her day. The work's mixture of social satire and moral searching, along with its sympathetic rendering of proto-Zionist ideas, has made it a controversial final statement from one of the most renowned Victorian novelists. Complete with the errata slips and all advertisements and announcements called for in Baker & Ross. SCARCE IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS.
Condition: Spines a bit toned (a few with slight paper cracks to backstrips); spine of Part 1 repaired with some letters of title in skillful pen facsimile; some minor repairs to spine ends on a few other parts; occasional minor chipping at edges (more apparent on Parts 1, 5 and 7); covers with a little rubbing, toning or soiling. Interiors very clean and bright, including ads; overall very good copy of a fragile set.

Provenance: The Library of a Minnesota Collector.
