About This Item
London: George Allen & Unwin, 1967. 1st. hardback. Near fine, 1st edition, unclipped d/j (good, some bumping and creasing, in protetive sleeve); blue boards clean, gilt spine titling bright; text block firm, pages unmarked and crisp.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Therese la Chard was a Victorian cageling par excellence, the motherless child of a wealthy Anglo-German family living on the rural fringe of London, a home in which 'system' was the only ogre, involving obsessions with health and music which became a tyranny and caused her to revolt. Midway through youth came a sudden decline into biting poverty, with a lovely stepmother and a clamorous brood.
