FIRST EDITION OF HARDY'S MOST CONTEMPORARY NOVEL. Unlike his Wessex novels this is work is set in the more technologically advanced contemporaneous age so the plot exhibits devices uncommon among Hardy's novels such as falsified telegrams and faked photographs. It was originally published in monthly installments in the European edition of Harper's New Monthly Magazine from December 1880 to December 1881. Due to this arrangement Harper was able to publish the work in book form first but this English edition was only issued a few weeks later and contains revisions made by Hardy not included in Harper's issue. It is the only three-decker issue published and the print run is presumed to be only around 1000 copies. Sampson, Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington hardcover

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.
