The Works of Charlotte Brontë, Complete 8-Volume Set — White, Stokes & Allen / Frederick A. Stokes, New York, 1880s | Half Leather Fine Bindings

A complete eight-volume set of The Works of Charlotte Brontë, published in New York during the 1880s by White, Stokes & Allen, with the Poems volume issued under Frederick A. Stokes, the firm’s successor (dated 1887).

Titles include Jane Eyre (two volumes), Shirley (two volumes), Villette (two volumes), The Professor, and Poems.

Uniformly bound in elegant half leather bindings with gilt decorative motifs and raised bands to spines, matching marbled boards and endpapers, and top edges gilt. The bindings remain tight, and the pages are clean and bright throughout. Minor light wear consistent with age. 

A beautifully preserved set representing one of the most enduring voices of Victorian literature. This late 19th-century American edition captures both the artistry of fine bookbinding and the literary legacy of Charlotte Brontë, writing under her pseudonym Currer Bell.
