1861144701861. included in "Round the Sofa." London: Sampson Low Son and Co. 1861. 2 pp ads dated July 1861 last leaf of final gathering. Original blind-stamped green cloth with spine decorated in gilt. First English Edition so titled of this collection of six short stories the title one at 164 pages really being a novella. Most of these stories first appeared in periodicals such as "Household Words" during the late 1850s and MY LADY LUDLOW was first published as a book in 1858 by Harper of New York. In 1859 Sampson Low collected the stories in an anonymous two-volume work titled ROUND THE SOFA with interconnecting frames for each story and in 1861 this title MY LADY LUDLOW was first issued acknowledging "Mrs. Gaskell" as the author. In My Lady Ludlow Elizabeth Gaskell depicts the waning of aristocratic power and the waxing of professional hegemony in Regency England. Gaskell's representation of the rising professional society is its openness to participation by women by members of the working class and by the illegitimately born. Before any of the feminist movements of the nineteenth century had coalesced Gaskell's novel pointed to the egalitarian implications of professional ideals Colon.

201542436New Castle Delaware & Winchester: Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies 2015. paperback. Bibliography. 6 x 9 inches. paperback. 462 pages. Reprint of the 1995 Oak Knoll edition. Ronald B. McKerrow's An Introduction to Bibliography for Literary Students has been the classic manual on bibliography showing how the transmission of texts might be affected by the processes of printing but he concentrated almost exclusively on "Elizabethan" printing - the period from 1560 to 1660. However in recent years there has been an increasing interest in the textual problems of the 18th 19th and 20th centuries and although McKerrow covered the period up to 1800 he did not describe the technology of the machine-press period. Gaskell incorporates work done since McKerrow's day on the history of the printing technology of the hand-press period and he breaks new ground by providing a general description of the printing practices of the machine-press period. He describes the hand-printed book press-work patterns of production plates and more. In addition he examines bibliographical applications reference bibliography and the process of book production. Little has been previously published about the techniques and routines of nineteenth- and twentieth-century book production making this book essential to students of literature scholars printing historians librarians and booklovers.
