Svengali: THE FIRST COMPLETE AND UNEXPURGATED EDITION OF GEORGE DU MAURIER'S TRILBY by George Du Maurier. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780491028486.

This is not simply another edition of du Mauriers 19th century novel TRILBY, but rather the first printing of the complete and unexpurgated manuscript of TRILBY as it existed before Whistler threatened legal action and the novel was revised, cut, and portions rewritten. It contains du Mauriers original illustrations and an introduction by Peter Alexander on how and why this version of the novel differs from every prior book-length edition printed. Segments of this novel were only previously printed in Harpers Magazine, when the novel first came out as a serial.
