1851 Tauchnitz copyright edition of Yeast: A Problem by Charles Kingsley, here credited on the title page as “The Author of Alton Locke.” Published in Leipzig by Bernhard Tauchnitz as Collection of British Authors, Vol. CCVII, complete in one volume.
Kingsley’s Yeast is an early Victorian social novel concerned with class, rural poverty, faith, reform, and the moral unrest of mid-19th-century England. It stands alongside Alton Locke as one of Kingsley’s socially engaged works and is a desirable title for collectors of Victorian fiction, Tauchnitz editions, and 19th-century reform literature.
