Arabian Nights - Lady Burton's Edition of Her Husband's "Arabian Nights" (6 VOLUME SET)

A six–volume 1886 Lady Burton edition of her husband’s literal translation from the Arabic of Arabian Nights. This set is bound in white with gilt page edges, characteristic of the ornate binding styles of the late Victorian period.

Lady Burton issued this edition as a complement to Sir Richard Burton’s more expansive and sometimes controversial translation, making it accessible to a wider readership while preserving its scholarly foundation. The work reflects the 19th-century fascination with Middle Eastern literature and culture, and it includes the complete cycle of tales traditionally associated with One Thousand and One Nights. This edition stands as both a literary landmark in the history of translation and a reflection of Victorian publishing practices.
