            An Aristocratic Detective

Marsh, Richard [Richard Marsh (12 October 1857 - 9 August 1915) was the pseudonym of the English author born Richard Bernard Heldmann. A best-selling and prolific author of the late 19th century and the Edwardian period and is best known now for his supernatural thriller novel The Beetle.

(Book #ID 107706)

Published by Digby, Long & Co. 18 Bouverie Street, Fleet Street, London First Edition 1900. 1900.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original illustrated burgundy cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back, cream, green and russet illustration to the front cover, publisher's device blind stamped to lower cover. 8vo. 8'' x 5¼''. Focuses on another series that first appeared in provincial local newspapers across England, including the Manchester Times, the Leeds Mercury, and the Newcastle Weekly Courant in the period 1895 to 1900. One of the novel's multiple narrators was the Honourable Augustus Champnell, whose detective adventures are examined here. A number of these detective stories starring Champnell were published both before and after Marsh's success with The Beetle, not only do these stories have a fascinating publication history, they also feature one of the first aristocratic private detectives in literary history, appearing some 20 years before Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey, meaning that they offer intriguing explorations of the class dynamics of Victorian police-work and criminality. Contains tissue-guarded frontispiece, (vii), 310 pp + 16 pp ads. Oval indigo stamp to the first story from Newcastle-on-Tyne Police Library, finger marks to the text block edges and in Very Good bright condition. Extremely scarce. Member of the P.B.F.A.
