A new edition, 5 volumes complete, each edited and with an introduction by a noted academic of the day, all first printings. From the library of David Lodge, who contributed his expertise and insight to Emma, being well placed to do so having edited a casebook of essays on the subject three years earlier in 1968. These are Lodge's complimentary and working copies of the set, signed by him in black ink to the front endpaper of the final volume, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, with compliments slips from Oxford University Press and the University of Birmingham loosely inserted into Mansfield Park, and with occasional pencil notes and highlighting to the texts of four of the five volumes, the exception being Mansfield Park. The books are firmly bound in red cloth, lettered and decorated in gilt and green to the spines, the extremities are slightly bumped and rubbed. The text blocks are slightly toned and marked. The dust jackets are all unclipped, they are lightly toned and rubbed with minor marks, the spines are quite uniformly slightly sunned (Emma a little less so than the rest), and there are small nicks and closed tears to the edges, more so to those that Lodge has consulted most frequently. An excellent set of association copies. One of the two main protagonists in perhaps Lodge's most famous novel, Changing Places, which he was writing during this period, Morris Zapp is a world expert on Austen, who Lodge describes working on: "a series of commentaries on Jane Austen which would work through the whole canon, one novel at a time, saying absolutely everything that could possibly be said about them. [] The object of the exercise [] was not to enhance others' enjoyment and understanding of Jane Austen, still less to honour the novelist herself, but to put a definitive stop to the production of any further garbage on the subject. [] the specialist, who, looking up Zapp, would find that the book, article or thesis he had been planning had already been anticipated and, more likely than not, invalidated. After Zapp, the rest would be silence.". Complete jacketed sets of this scholarly edition of Austen are quite uncommon, and it is pleasing to see an academic who contributed to the edition engaging not only with his own volume but also with the rest.
