Description
London: Chapman and Hall, 193, Piccadilly, 1879. First Edition. 3 vols, 8vo (194 x 140mm), pp. [viii], 279, [1]; [viii], 259, [1]; [viii], 243, [1]. Publisher’s smooth brown cloth with a decorative design blocked in black, gilt spines. A bright, fine set with only the lsightest bit of rubbing. A scarce first edition of this work by Thomas, one of most popular and prolific writers of romantic fiction during the Victorian era. OCLC locates only 3 copies. Annie Hall Thomas (1838–1918), who published under her own name and later as Mrs. Pender Cudlip, was among the most prolific writers of romantic fiction during the Victorian era, producing well over one hundred novels and short stories between 1862 and the early twentieth century. Born in Suffolk, the only daughter of a naval officer, she began writing to support herself and published her first novel, The Cross of Honour, in 1863. Her publisher William Tinsley remarked that she could produce a three-volume novel in a mere six weeks. Many of her early works were considered controversial for their treatment of subjects such as the sexuality of young women and illegitimate pregnancy, and her heroines were characteristically independent and unconventional. In 1866 she refused an offer of marriage from W. S. Gilbert; the following year she married the Reverend Pender Hodge Cudlip, a High Church clergyman. She was also a regular contributor to All the Year Round and other periodicals, and served as editor of Ours: A Holiday Quarterly. Despite her enormous output and the popularity she enjoyed at the height of her career, her later years were marked by financial difficulty; by 1908 she reported that the highest offer she had received for a novel was fifteen pounds.
