[HARDY, Thomas (1840-1928)]. Under the Greenwood Tree A Rural Painting of the Dutch School. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1872.
First edition of Hardy’s second published novel. Written in the summer of 1871, Hardy sent the manuscript to Macmillan's and mistakenly took their response for a rejection. He consequently put it aside for a year until a chance meeting with William Tinsley led to it being published in May 1872. Under the Greenwood Tree was issued anonymously, and printed in an edition "presumably of 500 copies" (Purdy). Purdy pp.6-8; Sadleir 1117.
Two volumes, octavo. Half-titles. Original green cloth (light rubbing to spines); custom box.
