Light crease to bottom edge of front panel of dustwrapper. No tears. Top edge of dustwrapper slightly darkened. Front panel of dustwrapper bright. ***xvii prelim-pages including thirteen-page introduction plus 330 pages. 200mm x 130mm. ***'Dolores is the first of Ivy Compton-Burnett's twenty novels. Among her great female predecessors in the English novel, Ivy Compton Burnett is in a general way most like Jane Austen, least like Charlotte Bronte, but the dominant influence on Dolores is George Eliot, an influence so pervasive that it extends to characterization and tone, subject, theme, and even diction.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***The novel concerns a young Victorian woman, Dolores Hutton who gives up her chance for personal happiness to duty to her family. It is set in the village of Millfield, Yorkshire, where her father is rector, and Oxford where Dolores attends a woman's college. The novel is divided between Millfield and Oxford. There is social comment, class differences and similarities to George Eliot's novels such as Middlemarch, which is not prevalent in all her subsequent novels. ***Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) wrote her novels at the same time as Virginia Woolf. In her diary, Virginia Woolf wrote that Ivy Compton-Burnett's writing was far superior to her own in its expressions of truth, and in its originality. Ivy Compton Burnett's own tragic experiences of family life provided some of the material she drew on as a novelist. Her books are about money, power, status, incest, adultery, murder, homosexuality, about which she was years ahead of her time, and all the passions and stresses of family life, described with brilliant wit and perception. ***Apart from her first novel, Dolores, her novels involve psychological exploration of small-scale power-abuse and persecution, human weaknesses, dysfunctional families and their internal power struggles in large Edwardian houses. Her fiction revolves around dialogue, sometimes epigrammatic. Important information can be subtle, stated by a character in a half-sentence. Her use of punctuation is minimal: no colons or semi-colons, no exclamation marks or italics; this is deliberate, and helps to create the unique claustrophobic literary fictional world of Ivy Compton-Burnett. ***'Her novels are conceived on the same moral and intellectual level as those of Henry James.' Edward Sackville-West in Horizon (Quote from front of A House and Its Head). ***First re-issue of the first edition of Ivy Compton-Burnett's first novel: Dolores, in its original dustwrapper in very nice condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
