Octavo original dark green cloth top edge gilt original dust jacket. Housed in a custom cloth chemise and slipcase. $2500.First edition of this collection of a dozen of Hardy's short stories including his lengthy gothic tale ""The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid"" with photogravure frontispiece in very scarce original dust jacket.""A Changed Man is a group of 'a dozen minor novels' that had lain uncollected in English and American periodicals half of them for a quarter of a century or more. They 'would probably have never been collected by me at this time of day' Hardy wrote 'if frequent reprints of some of them in America and elsewhere had not set many readers inquiring for them in a volume' There is much of interest in the volume: the introduction of soldiers and the use of historical setting in the tales written in the '90s when The Dynasts was taking shape; the snatches of reminiscence and family tradition in 'A Tryst at an Ancient Earthwork' and 'The Duke's Reappearance'; the reflection in 'Alicia's Diary' of Hardy's Italian journey a few months before "" Purdy 155-56. One of 10000 copies; the 12 stories here collected had all been published previously in periodicals. Purdy 151-57. Webb 39-40. Old bookseller description tipped to front free endpaper.Book fine very scarce and fragile original dust jacket with light edge-wear and gently toned spine extremely good. hardcover
