Musset, Alfred de

Vol. 5 of a 7-volume, sextodecimo (16mo) set that includes:
La Confession d'un Enfant du Siècle
Comédies et Proverbes (3 volumes)
Nouvelles et Contes Premières Poésies
Poésies Nouvelles

Set is uniformly bound in half red morocco leather with gilt ruling and marbled boards.

This volume, the first of the Comédies et Proverbes, is inscribed by the sculptor Lord Ronald Gower to Morton Fullerton. The inscription on the fly reads: "Amico amicis. R.G. to M.F. Paris -- 5.10.91." The inscription predates the romantic affair between Gower and Fullerton, which transpired later. However, it is dated after the 1890 "Cleveland Street Scandal" that saw Gower outed as a frequenter of a notorious London brothel for homosexual men.
