Autograph Letter Signed to William L. Marcy

1831717Prospect Hill 1831. 4to. 260 x200 mm. 10 ¼ x 8 inches. 1 page plus small portions of two other pages folio sheet folded approximately 150 words. Written in ink Moderate brown stain toward center obscuring a number of words. Letter laid down into marginal paper supports. This letter discusses Genet's enclose Christmas gift for President Andrew Jackson which the verso of the letter indicates to be a medallion bearing the head of Julius Caesar. Genet begs the recipient thought to be William L. Marcy U.S. Senator and former Secretary of State to give Jackson the gift because: "no one I believe at Washington being better than you acquainted with my humble history in this country as an unchangeable Republican and a zealous friend of General Jackson." Genet wished to deliver the gift to Jackson personally but Jackson's proposed visit to Albany never materialized. The letter is significant for several reasons. It demonstrates Genet's continued involvement with the highest political men in America as well as his commitment to democratic ideals now translated for the Jacksonian age. A Governor of New York Senator and Secretary of State Marcy was influential on American foreign policy and the letter demonstrates Genet's intimacy with him. ".be then My dear Sir my Interpreter near him and add to my letter with your usual eloquence what my rusticated style has not been able to express." The contact between Genet and Jackson came at an important moment of U.S.-French relations a subject of continuous interest to Genet the first minister of the French Republic to the United States. President Jackson had sent William Rives as representative to France to try to negotiate a settlement of the "Beaumarchais claim" a claim by the family for repayment for services rendered by their ancestor to the American Revolution. Rives was also seeking reparations against the French for their role in the commercial crisis that preceded the War of 1812. In 1830 the U.S. had manipulated wine tariffs as a weapon in the negotiations but by 1831 both sides were finally agreeing to settlements which favored American claims. Genet's "small hommage" to Jackson cannot have failed to figure in the President's perception of France at this crucial time in the diplomatic relationship of the two countries. Jackson and Genet did occasionally correspond and two letters dated 1831 are held by the James Monroe Museum and Memorial Library. unknown

LGBTQ Writer Jean Genet Letter Discussing Rights to Notre Dame des Fleurs

1949100941949. Genet Jean. Autograph letter discussing translation and film rights related to Notre Dame des Fleurs written during the period of the novel's international circulation. Jean Genet French novelist playwright and political activist whose early criminal life informed a body of autobiographical fiction confronting bourgeois morality sexuality and social exclusion wrote Notre Dame des Fleurs in the 1940s while imprisoned in France. The novel quickly became a foundational work of twentieth century queer literature and avant-garde French writing. In this letter Genet addresses the English translation rights and a proposed cinematic adaptation of the book providing direct documentary evidence of the author's involvement in managing the international dissemination of one of his most influential works.<br /> <br /> Genet Jean. Autograph Letter Signed. Two pages on Terrass Hotel Paris letterhead. Undated. In the letter Genet responds to a correspondent regarding both translation and film rights connected to Notre Dame des Fleurs. Writing in English he states: "Dear Madame I was very happy to receive your letter in excellent French in fact. But I must regretfully tell you that Frechtman has already translated N D Notre Dame des Fleurs in English and it is he who possesses all the rights to that language and for this book. regarding the movie I have communicated your letter to the owner of the film. he will write to you and will tell you a price. It is with him that you must deal. But I thank you for all your kindness and I hope to see you soon in Paris. In the meantime I shake your hand in friendship. Jean Genet." The letter directly references translator Bernard Frechtman who produced the first widely circulated English translation of Notre Dame des Fleurs and confirms that translation rights for the English language were already assigned at the time of writing.<br /> <br /> Genet's Notre Dame des Fleurs stands among the most influential literary works of twentieth century queer literature presenting a stylized narrative centered on criminals drag performers and outsiders in Parisian underworld culture. Written while Genet was incarcerated and later championed by figures including Jean-Paul Sartre and the Parisian avant-garde the novel played a major role in establishing Genet as a central figure in postwar French literature and in the literary articulation of queer identity. Correspondence discussing translation rights and possible film adaptation offers unusually direct evidence of the mechanisms through which Genet's work circulated internationally during the mid twentieth century. Light handling wear with minor age toning; overall very good condition. A scarce piece of authorial correspondence directly referencing Genet's most celebrated novel. unknown
