A few stains to the covers a crisp and clean copy free of foxing.  Signed autograph inscription by George Sand to the actor Fresne : « à monsieur Fresne souvenirs affectueux. G. Sand. » Fresne had performed in her play Molière at its premiere at the Théâtre de la Gaîté in 1851. « On 1st March 1864 the theatrical event of the year took place: the premiere of Le Marquis de Villemer. The Odéon Theatre cordoned off by police lines was stormed by students who had been camping out in the square since ten in the morning. Inside the actors were interrupted by stomping shouting and thunderous applause. The hired claque was overwhelmed. Between 3000 and 4000 people were turned away at the door. The imperial family applauded the emperor wept openly Flaubert was in tears Prince Napoléon shouted his enthusiasm. It was a triumph. Two hundred people surrounded George and embraced her in the theatre foyer. Students escorted her back to her home to the cries of « Vive George Sand! Vive Mademoiselle La Quintinie! à bas les cléricaux! » The police dispersed the crowd later that night. These anticlerical demonstrations were all the more surprising given that the play contained no such allusions. It was a melodrama—highly accomplished—in which love triumphs over social prejudice. The first act infused with the spirit of Dumas fils is dazzling. The play tells the story of two brothers: one deeply attached to his mother introverted and serious initially refuses to marry. but ends up wedding the virtuous and upright ladyÂ’s companion. The other a charming and witty libertine in his forties marries a wealthy heiress just out of the convent. The pace is brisk the characters well drawn. The play benefited from George SandÂ’s aura. Its success was repeated night after night. The box office receipts were extraordinary. The Latin Quarter was unrecognizable. The narrow streets around the Odéon far removed from the elegant grands boulevards were clogged with luxury carriages. Elegant ladies queued at the box office from early morning. The Odéon—once described as a theatre that was “dirty cold remote deserted wretched” Letter to Maurice and Lina Dudevant-Sand 5 March 1864—was lit up every evening. » Evelyne Bloch-Dano Le Dernier Amour de George Sand 2010  Michel Lévy frères hardcover
186471862Paris: Michel Lévy frères 1864. Fine. Michel Lévy frères Paris 1864 14.50 x 23 cm relié First edition of the theatrical adaptation. Bound in half red shagreen spine in four compartments set with gilt stipples adorned with double gilt spine panels marbled paper plates marbled endpapers contemporary binding. Precious handwritten presentation signed by George Sand: à monsieur Huart en lui demandant pardon de tout le mal que je lui donne. To Mr Huart asking for his forgiveness for all the harm I am causing him. Provenance: from the Grandsire library with its ex-libris. Le 1er mars 1864 en effet se déroule l'événement théâtral de l'année: la première du Marquis de Villemer. L'Odéon gardé par des cordons de police est pris d'assaut par les étudiants qui campent sur la place depuis dix heures du matin. Dans la salle les trépignements les hurlements les applaudissement interrompent les acteurs. La claque est débordée. On a refusé 3 000 à 4 000 personnes faute de place. La famille impériale applaudit l'empereur pleure ouvertement Flaubert est en larmes le Prince Napoléon hurle son enthousiasme. C'est un triomphe. Deux cents personnes entourent George et l'embrassent au foyer. Les étudiants l'escortent jusqu'à son domicile aux cris de Vive George Sand! Vive Mademoiselle La Quintinie! à bas les cléricaux! La police disperse la manifestation dans la nuit. Ces démonstrations anticléricales sont d'autant plus étonnantes que rien dans la pièce n'y fait allusion. Il s'agit d'un mélodrame très réussi dans lequel l'amour triomphe des préjugés sociaux. Le premier acte qui a bénéficié de l'esprit de Dumas fils est brillant. La pièce met en scène deux frères dont l'un très proche de sa mère introverti et sérieux refuse de se marier. Il finira par épouser la dame de compagnie une jeune femme vertueuse et droite. L'autre un libertin sympathique et spirituel de quarante ans se mariera avec une héritière tout juste sortie du couvent. Le rythme est enlevé les caractères bien dessinés. La pièce jouit de l'aura de George Sand. Le succès se reproduit tous les jours. Les recettes sont fabuleuses. Le Quartier latin est méconnaissable. Les ruelles autour de l'Odéon bien éloigné des grands boulevards élégants sont obstruées par les équipages de luxe. Les belles dames font la queue dès le matin à la location. L'Odéon ce théâtre sale froid loin de tout désert misérable Lettre à Maurice et Lina Dudevant-Sand 5 mars 1864 est illuminé tous les soirs. On 1 March 1864 the theatrical event of the year took place: the premiere of Le Marquis de Villemer. The Odeon guarded by a police cordon is stormed by students who have been camping on-site since ten o'clock in the morning. In the hall the feet stamping the yelling and the clapping interrupts the actors. The claque is overshadowed. Between 3000 and 4000 people were refused for lack of space. The Imperial family applauds the Emperor weeps openly Flaubert is in tears Prince Napoleon howls with enthusiasm. It is a triumph. Two hundred people surround George and kiss him in the foyer. The students escort him home with shouts of Long live George Sand! Long live Mademoiselle La Quintinie! Down with the clerical! The police break up the demonstration throughout the night. These anticlerical demonstrations are all the more surprising since nothing in the play alludes to them. It is a very successful melodrama in which love triumphs over social prejudices. The first act which has benefited from Dumas fils' mind is superb. The play features two brothers one of whom who is very close to his mother introverted and serious refuses to be married. He will end up marrying the lady in wating a young virtuous and upright woman. The other a forty year old sympathetic and spiritual libertine will marry an heiress who has just left the convent. The rhythm is lively the characters well drawn. The play has the aura of George Sand. The success is repeated every day. The takings are fabulous. Th Michel Lévy frères unknown
