1877FB993 /6B<p>Cream calf half binding with black boards. Black title plate with gilt title and banding on the spine.</p><p>Ariadne written in 1877 Rare First Edition The Story of a Dream <strong>Ouida</strong> 1 January 1839 – 25 January 1908 was the pseudonym of the English novelist <strong>Maria Louise Ramé</strong> although she preferred to be known as <strong>Marie Louise de la Ramée</strong>. During her career Ouida wrote more than 40 novels as well as short stories children's books and essays. Moderately successful she lived a life of luxury entertaining many of the literary figures of the day. <em>Under Two Flags</em> one of her most famous novels described the British in Algeria. It expressed sympathy for the French colonists—with whom Ouida deeply identified—and to some extent the Arabs. The novel was adapted for the stage and was filmed six times. Her novel <em>A Dog of Flanders</em> is considered a children's classic in much of Asia. The American author Jack London cited her novel <em>Signa</em> as one of the reasons for his literary success. Her lavish lifestyle eventually led her to penury and her works were put up for auction to pay her debts. She died in Italy from pneumonia. Soon after her death her friends organized a public subscription in Bury St Edmunds where they had a fountain for horses and dogs installed in her name. During her career Ouida wrote more than 40 novels children's books and collections of short stories and essays. Her work had several phases. In 1863 when she was 24 she published her first novel <em>Held in Bondage</em>. She later claimed to have written her well-received novel <em>Idalia</em> 1867 at the age of 16. It featured a rebellious ingenue heroine who was sympathetic to Italian independence. In her early period her novels were considered "racy" and "swashbuckling" a contrast to "the moralistic prose of early Victorian literature" Tom Steele and a hybrid of the sensationalism of the 1860s and the proto-adventure novels being published as part of the romanticisation of imperial expansion. Later her work was more typical of historical romance though she never stopped commenting on contemporary society. She also wrote several stories for children. <em>Under Two Flags</em> one of her most famous novels described the British in Algeria. It expressed sympathy for the French colonists called <em>pieds noirs</em>—with whom Ouida deeply identified—and to some extent the Arabs. The novel was adapted for the stage and was filmed six times. The American author Jack London cited her novel <em>Signa</em> which he read at age eight as one of the eight reasons for his literary success.</p> Bernhard Tauchnitz. hardcover
