Some marking to boards. Quite heavily foxed. Front free endpaper is inscribed \"Ernest Black from C.B. January 1908\". \u003cbr\u003eClementina Black is best known as an activist and propagandist in the socialist, trade union and women's suffrage movements, but she made her living as a writer of political tracts and novels. Apart from the overtly political The Agitator, her novels are historical romances. Caroline is set in the eighteenth century and concerns a wealthy young woman and her suitors. Unsurprisingly, this led to critics making comparisons with Jane Austen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"vrb_note\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"vrb_prov\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"vrb_biblio\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"BLACK, Clementina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57193325232505,"sku":"4941","price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1484\/0910\/files\/4941_1.jpg?v=1777655260","url":"https:\/\/voewoodrarebooks.com\/products\/black-clementina-caroline-1908-4941","provider":"Voewood Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
