Jude the Obscure
Thomas Hardy, 1895
HARDY, Thomas (1840-1928). Jude the Obscure. London: Osgood, McIlvaine, and Co., 1896 [but 1895].
First edition in book form, first state, in the very rare dust jacket. Jude the Obscure was first published serially in Harper's New Monthly Magazine from December 1894 to November 1895, having been heavily edited by Hardy in order to ensure it was suitable for a family audience. He restored it to its original state in August 1895, and the novel was published in book form on 1 November 1895. Discouraged by the outraged response to the story and tired of being misread, Hardy devoted the rest of his career to poetry and published no further novels. This copy with the first signatues in second state, without page numbers on the partially blank pages. Purdy, pp. 86-91; Sadleir 1108.
Octavo. Frontispiece etching of Christminster by H. Macbeth-Raeburn. Map of Wessex. Original green cloth, t.e.g. (a little rippling to cloth); printed dust jacket (chips to spine panel foot and to rear panel, toning to spine, light wear to tips); custom box.
