DOU - TROLLOPE, Anthony - An Eye for an Eye - [Doughty Library # 1] - (Hardcover in Wrapper)

Book and wrapper in great condition - Very scarce - 201 pg.    >>>   Fred Neville, a young officer in the Hussars, is heir to an earldom, but before taking up his responsibilities resolves to enjoy a year of adventure in Ireland where his regiment is posted. When Fred falls in love and seduces an Irish girl of great beauty and mysterious background, the scene is set for a tragic outcome that far exceeds the adventures Fred had in mind. Written in 1870 but not published until 1879, An Eye For An Eye is arguably the most melodramatic story that Trollope wrote and certainly his frankest and most daring treatment of pre-marital sex.   >>>   About the Publisher and series   -  The Doughty Library was named after Doughty Street in London, where Blonds publishing company was located - The series focused on British and American Victorian novels and reached at least 13 titles.
