2001169308Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press 2001. Hardcover. New in shrinkwrap. Cream boards with black cloth spine. Color-illustrated dust jacket with red lettering. viii 223 pp. Illustrations. "Edouard Manet's paintings have long been recognized for being visually compelling and uniquely recalcitrant. While critics have noted the presence of family members and intimates in paintings such as Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe Nancy Locke takes an unprecedented look at the significance of the artist's family relationships for his art. Locke argues that a kind of mythology of the family or Freudian family romance frequently determined Manet's compositional decisions and choice of models. By looking at the representation of the family as a volatile mechanism for the development of sexuality and of repression conflict and desire Locke brings powerful new interpretations to some of Manet's most complex works." "Locke considers for example the impact of a father-son drama rooted in a closely guarded family secret: the adultery of Manet pere and the status of Leon Leenhoff. Her nuanced exploration of the implications of this story - that Manet in fact married his father's mistress - makes us look afresh at even well-known paintings such as Olympia. This book sheds new light on Manet's infamous interest in gypsies street musicians and itinerants as Locke analyzes the activities of Manet's father as a civil judge. She also reexamines the close friendship between Manet and the Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot who married Manet's brother. Morisot becomes the subject of a series of meditations on the elusiveness of the self the transience of identity and conflicting concerns with appearances and respectability. Manet and the Family Romance offers an entirely new set of arguments about the cultural forces that shaped these alluring paintings."--Jacket. Princeton University Press hardcover books

1975156428Boston: Gregg Press 1975. Octavo cloth. New edition. Reprint of the 1859 William Gowans edition. New 30-page historical introduction by Ormond Seavey. Edgar Allan Poe's comment on the Moon Hoax is appended. A reprint of Locke's successful hoax perpetrated in the New York Sun in August 1835 that pretended to reveal a discovery that men and animals existed on the moon. The revelations supposedly reprinted from the actually defunct Edinburgh Journal of Science pretended to reveal a discovery that men and animals existed on the moon and were so cleverly wrought that for a short time the report was given credence in scientific circles in the United States and Europe. The report was soon denounced as a hoax by the public press and Richard Adams Locke 1800-1871 a reporter for the Sun was identified as the perpetrator of the "ingenious astronomical hoax." Interest in the lunar discoveries increased the Sun's circulation to more than nineteen thousand the largest of any daily of that time. According to William Gowans who reprinted the story in 1859 Locke's account created such public interest that the owners of the Sun published sixty thousand copies of it in pamphlet form. The pamphlet was published in September 1835 and every copy was sold in less than a month. Nevertheless the 1835 printings are rare and only a handful of copies survive. Anatomy of Wonder 1981 1-137.
