About This Item
8vo. Original buff paper boards, paper rebacked. Edinburgh. Printed for Archibald Constable and Co. And Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, 1817. First Edition. 3 volumes.
Mandeville was the author's fourth, and arguably most Gothic novel. It provoked an anonymously published spurious fourth volume, and was also one of several influences of Peacock's Nightmare Abbey.
Set in 17th-century England, it follows the trials and social tribulations of Charles Mandeville, an orphan with Anglo-Irish connections, who loses his honor, his sister and finally suffers facial disfigurement through involvement with his most popular Winchester School colleague, Lionel Clifford.
With half titles to Vols., I and II. Some light wear to extremities, rubbing to boards and occasional soiling. Early signature on title pages of three volumes. Uncut.
