Seller's Description:
Fine in Near Fine jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. " A fascinating journey into the mind and soul of Sarah Austin, a gifted woman who dared to circumvent the mores of her day. In their stinging candor, Austin's letters give us an early nineteenth century woman's intimate thoughts about sex and tenderness, work and ambition, lesbianism and homosexuality, and above all, the competing demands of family duty and erotic desire-subjects that rarely surface in Victorian women's letters and diaries." Dark red covers, 314 pp., 9 illustrations, mylar cover.
