187091840London: Chapman and Hall 1870. First edition of Dickens' final novel. Octavo bound in full early 20th century morocco gilt titles and tooling to the spine double gilt ruled raised gilt bands all edges gilt inner dentelles marbled endpapers. Engraved frontispiece portrait of Dickens with tissue guard 12 engraved plates. In near fine condition with very light rubbing and some toning to the pages. Charles Dickens' novels regularly revolved around masks dual identities and other secrets. The Mystery of Edwin Drood however "enlarged and strengthened such matters in the pursuit of a larger vision a vision which depicts the 'lanes of light' between the dark pillars of a crypt and which reflects upon 'that mysterious fire which lurks in everything" Ackroyd 1056. Unfortunately at the time of his death on June 9 1870 Dickens had written only six parts of the book three of which had been published. The remaining three were published posthumously. Dickens had so closely guarded the plot's outlines even from his closest friends that to this day the identity of Drood's killer remains a topic for speculation discussion and debate. "There are few of Dickens' stories which are superior in the matter of composition. one of the best unfinished mystery stories in literature" Eckel 96. This tantalizing tale has been adapted in film and television several times. Chapman and Hall unknown books
