About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead, 1907. First Edition (Published January, 1907). Hardcover. Very good +. 8vo., 388 pages, decorated cloth binding signed "w/j" (attributed to William Jordan). A very nice copy that doesn't quite reach the "fine condition" category. "Lucas Malet was the pseudonym of Mary St. Leger Kingsley (4 June 1852 - 1931), a Victorian novelist. She was widely regarded as one of the premier writers of fiction in the English-speaking world at the height of her career, but her reputation declined by the end of her life and today she is rarely read or studied. At the height of her popularity she was compared favorably to Thomas Hardy, and Henry James, with sales rivaling Rudyard Kipling. Malet's fin de siecle novels offer detailed, sensitive investigations of the psychology of masochism, perverse desires, unconventional gender roles, and the body."-wiki.
