166200547<p><strong>"PERHAPS THE GREATEST SCANDAL.IN FRENCH THEATER"</strong> --- A composite volume containing six rare comedies from the age of Molière: Thomas Corneille. <em>Le festin de pierre; comedie mise en vers sur la prose de feu Mr de Moliere</em>. Paris: Sign of St. Louis Thomas Guillain and/or Jean Ribou 1683. 4 115 1 p. pi2 A-I6 K4. First edition. --- Noël Le Breton de Hauteroche.<em> Crispin musicien; comedie. </em>Paris: Pierre Promé 1674. 6 136 p. pi4-pi4 A-L8/4. First edition. --- <em>Le soldat Poltron; comedie</em>. Paris: Jean Ribou 1668. 48 p. A-D6. First edition. --- Jean de Rotrou. <em>Les sosies; comedie</em>. Paris: Gabriel Quinet 1668. 2 92 p. pi1 A-G6 H4. Possibly the second edition after the first of 1638 but one of three editions or issues published in Paris the same year. --- François Doneau. <em>La cocue imaginaire; comedie</em>. Paris: Jean Ribou 1662. 12 35 1 p. ã6 A-C6. Probably the third edition after Ribou editions of 1660 and 1661; another edition of 1662 based on the present has VIII 26 p. --- Charles Chevillet de Champmeslé. <em>Les grisettes; comedie</em>. Paris: Pierre Le Monnier 1671. 4 77 1 p. pi2 A-F8/4 G4-G4. Second edition but sometimes called the first having been so reduced from its three-act first appearance that one might reasonably consider it a different work. --- The headliner here is the first edition of Corneille's <em>Festin de Pierre</em> first performed in 1677.Corneille younger brother of the much more famous Pierre adapted his <em>Festin de pierre</em> from Molière's <em>Dom Juan</em>. In truth it's a rather family-friendly version stripped of its more risqué exchanges. Thus it stands as "perhaps the greatest scandal in the history of the French theater" DeJean. Elements of Molière's original production incensed the censors—which of course did nothing to quell popular demand. "In 1674 a year after Molière's death the long suppressed work was obviously still hot property." But nobody could get their hands on a copy. It didn't appear in print until 1682 and even then heavily censored. Thomas Corneille however managed to obtain a manuscript copy from Molière's widow "the one play whose publication had never been allowed." Corneille struck the offensive bits and found great success with it. "Indeed until the mid nineteenth century it continued to be staged instead of any text more closely linked to Molière's despite the fact that more authentic texts soon became available." ¶ While the others may be more obscure they surely have their own places in the history of French drama. Hauteroche's <em>Crispin</em> was among a small group of plays that "prefigure the parodic procedures that inform Dancourt's opera parodies" a successful series of farces and "alluded to the shift of power that had taken place in the Paris opera scene" Powell. ¶ <em>Le soldat Poltron </em>still mystifies scholars. A note on our title page calls Claude de La Rose aka Rosimond the author but this seems to have been debunked. "Fournel concludes that the play is so poor that the question of its authorship has no importance" Lancaster. The play's context is the 1667-1668 War of Devolution when France invaded territories in the Northeast held by Spain. ¶ <em>Les sosies</em> which takes as its subject the Greek legend of Amphitryonis the oldest play in the group first performed in 1636 and a theme Molière later explored in his own <em>Amphitryon</em>. Rotrou's play was tapped for related stage productions in 1650 and 1653 refreshed with elaborate stagecraft and a new ballet context respectively. "These precedents showed the vitality of the theme and also its adaptability which offered Molière the further possibility of producing scenes relying heavily on clever machinery—the 'pièce en machine' had become quite popular and Molière was always ready to utilize the latest techniques" Forehand. ¶ Our <em>Cocue imaginaire </em>was Ribou's shameless attempt to profit from the success of Molière's <em>Sganarelle ou Le cocu imaginaire</em>. "This <em>Cocuë imaginaire</em> which was never performed was thus a new fraudulent calculation of Ribou. F. Doneau was content to render <em>démarquer</em> <em>Sganarelle </em>scene by scene and often verse by verse and even hemistich by hemistich" Mongrédien. ¶ The final play in the volume Champmeslé's <em>Les grisettes</em> is perhaps the least familiar in the group. "The principal merit of Champmeslé's comedies" according to 19th-century bookseller J. Techener "consists above all in the faithful portrait of the little absurdities of bourgeois society." The play did draw on some elements of Molière's <em>Dom Juan</em> so perhaps it's fitting closure. ¶ All of these are scarce. We find a few North American copies of Corneille's <em>Festin de pierre</em> and this <em>Crispin musicien</em> at Harvard but none for the other four plays. Of <em>Les sosies</em> in fact we find no copies at all. --- PROVENANCE: An early owner has inked on each title what they seem to have thought was the date of the play's first performance.<em> Crispin</em> with faint penciled markings throughout. Early list of contents handwritten on a front fly-leaf. Old description of the volume clipped from a bookseller's catalog and tipped to a rear fly-leaf. Front paste-down bears the bookplate of Dr. Ernest Desnos 1852/1853-1925. --- CONDITION: Early brown leather the spine tooled in gold and with a leather label <em>Festin de Pierre</em>; marbled endpapers; red edges. ¶ All plays cropped close occasionally shaving a headline; E gathering of <em>Pierre </em>dampstained in the lower right and maybe half a dozen leaves with large tears affecting text A4 perhaps the worst more than 3" long partially repaired and with minor textual loss; <em>Cocue</em> dampstained and a bit ragged at the edges the lower margin wormed sometimes touching text; upper corner of <em>Grisettes </em>title torn away affecting a single letter. Extremities worn with the tailcap mostly chipped away the headcap partially so; leather covering the joints split about an inch from the bottom but all cords intact and the binding remains very strong; superficial surface crackling in the leather perhaps just dry perhaps a mottling solution gone wrong; once used as a coaster with a ring on the rear board. --- REFERENCES: Joan DeJean "The Work of Forgetting: Commerce Sexuality Censorship and Molière's Le Festin de Pierre" <em>Critical Inquiry</em> 29.1 Autumn 2002 p. 59-65; Mouhy <em>Abrége de l'histoire du théatre François </em>1780 v. 1 p. 195 <em>Festin de Pierre</em> "performed on 12 February 1677 printed in 1683 in-12"; John S.

2019009271Independently published 2019. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Fine. 1st ed. 1st printing ; 350 pages ; 23 cm ; ISBN 9781791890971 1791890970 ; OCLC 1348951150 ; SIGNED presentation by author on inside front cover ; A timely and powerful novel about what it means to navigate hidden status lines and what it means to step over them that is at once a family saga a glimpse behind the veil of a broken marriage and a quest for the new-age American Dream while exploring the treacherous fault lines of American culture. The Dessommes family has had their share of troubles - as rival siblings Vince and Jillian can attest - but as Vince prepares to step into his birthright as CEO of the family's holdings the repercussions of this looming shift in power and a cascade of events bring together a diverse cast of characters: Vince's wife Delaney a would-be social worker who unwittingly gave up her chance at a career for a ritzy marriage she never really wanted; her best friend Aaliyah who still believes in the American Dream even though her trials with corporate climbing make it more and more difficult to put faith in; Micah a social and corporate climber who has everything Aaliyah is trying to attain but still reaches for more - possibly to their detriment; Nigel a former classmate of Vince who's confounded by the extravagant world Vince travels in and tries to resist the unrelenting pull it has on his life; Paige the prodigal daughter of a Dessommes family friend whose reputation precedes her; and Jillian the abdicated social princess of their circle who has a little problem with razor blades and haunting memories from her past that never seem to go away. As the characters - deeply divided by race and class lines - collide their lives weave together and touch each other poignantly. Set in the American South and with chapter titles inspired by popular Southern sayings here you'll find an ode to a culture and an exploration of "the other Americans" the little-known subculture of elitist African Americans whose high society and centuries-old social prejudices are rarely explored. Walking the lines of cultural fissures and boundaries The Other Americans is a family saga of this lineage's unspoken past and the way that sisterhood can pull us back from the brink of self-destruction.or push us to it. Cutting deep into the fabric of family ties and the scars of their upbringings the Dessommes family is forced to confront its secrets as they learn what happens when class lines clash inside of a crucible of decades-old allegiances and social prejudices - and of how far we'll go to harm ourselves.and others. What unfolds is a stunning portrait of the heart and core of an American family in a story that is as page-turning as it is significant. ; Navidad Thélamour was born and raised in Austin Texas where the South meets the Southwest as she likes to say.
