OSTROVSKII, Aleksandr Nikolaevich (1823-1866). Bednaia Nevesta. [The Poor Bride.] Moscow: Stepanov, 1852. 8° (265 x 160mm). (Occasional minor spotting.) Original printed wrappers (light wear at the extremities, bookseller's small stamps on the back cover).
FIRST EDITION. IN THE ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPPERS. A rare early play by one of the great Russian dramatists of the mid-19th century, no less controversial than his first play, Bankrupt, which too was banned from production. Not in Kilgour or Smirnov-Sokol'skii. COPAC locates no copy in the UK.
