    Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. Two volumes of four volume series, sold together. Volume one - "Glitter Around the Darkness Within" 1873-1892; Volume two - "All the Good Things of Life" 1892-1905. Beatrice Webb knew prime ministers, authors, artists, social reformers - the New York Times described Webb's challenges as an intellectual woman in her era as "a drama as violent and compelling as Virgina Woolf's", the Washington Post said it reads like "a sort of socialist Jane Eyre", and the dust jacket description calls it a "portrait of an age of change, seen through its intellectuals and politicians." Dust jacket is unclipped, protected by mylar. Extra shipping may be charged at cost based on size and weight of books.…

    A re-issue of the 19th century classic. First edition with dustwrapper. pp.231 + 8 black & white plates, and 8 further illustrations within the text. Purple cloth with rubbed gilt titles to spine. Endpapers browned with previous owners signature and blind-stamp address. Clear English text on lightly toned paper. Illustrated dustwrapper, with rubbed edges and small edge tears (now protected by a removable clear plastic cover). A well preserved copy of this scarce first edition. "The Red Barn Murder was a notorious murder committed in Polstead, Suffolk, England in 1827. A young woman, Maria Marten, was shot dead by her lover William Corder. The two had arranged to meet at the Red Barn, a local landmark, before eloping to Ipswich. Maria was never seen alive again and Corder fled the scene. He sent letters to Marten's family claiming that she was in good health, but her body was later discovered buried in the barn after her stepmother spoke of having dreamed about the murder. Corder was tracked down in London, where he had married and started a new life. He was brought back to Suffolk and found guilty of murder in a well-publicised trial. He was hanged at Bury St Edmunds in 1828 and a huge crowd witnessed the execution. The story provoked numerous newspaper articles, songs and plays. The village where the crime had taken place became a tourist attraction and the barn was stripped by souvenir hunters. The plays and ballads remained popular throughout the next century and continue to be performed today." - See Wikipedia *** "James Curtis (fl. 18281835) was a British journalist and eccentric. He is best known for his association with William Corder, hanged for the Red Barn Murder. Curtis was a habitué of the Old Bailey, taking notes of court cases apparently for his own interest rather than as a regularly commissioned journalist. He invented his own shorthand for the purpose. He was known for his eccentric behaviour, fondness for long walks and insomnia. He befriended William Corder after taking an interest in the Red Barn case, and sat by him during his trial: indeed, he became so connected with the case that a newspaper artist, asked to produce a picture of the accused man, drew him instead. Curtis carried out a thorough survey of the case and published what is regarded as the best contemporary account of the trial. Publications: Short-hand Made Shorter; Or, Stenography Simplified, 1835 ; An Authentic and Faithful History of the Mysterious Murder of Maria Marten: With a Full Development of All the Extraordinary Circumstances which Led to the Discovery of Her Body in the Red Barn; to which is Added, the Trial of William Corder, Taken at Large in Short Hand Specially for this Work (with William Corder), 1834 " - See Wikipedia ****Full title reads: "An authentic and faithful history of the mysterious murder of Maria Marten : and a full development of the extraordinary circumstances which led to the discovery of her body in the red barn : to which is added the trial of William Corder with anecdotes of his life . / compiled by J. Curtis ; the whole edited & arranged with an epilogue by Jeanne & Norman Mackenzie.".…
