1824436626Paris: Chez Ladvocat 1824. Hardcover. Near Fine. Second edition. 12mo. 172pp. Contemporary full vellum spine decorated in gilt with morocco label titled in gilt. Contemporary owner name "Sophia Lipton" boards slightly bowed and a little soiled modest foxing a handsome near fine copy. An important novel written anonymously by a White Frenchwoman. Based on the true story of a Senegalese girl freed from slavery and raised by an aristocratic French family unaware of her race until she overhears a conversation that makes her conscious of it and after which point she lives her life as a Black woman. The novel was a bestseller when published and was the basis for four contemporary stage productions. Ourika represents a number of important firsts: the first Black heroine in a novel set in Europe the first French literary work narrated by a Black female protagonist and according to John Fowles: "the first serious attempt by a white novelist to enter a black mind." It was also the inspiration for Fowles' novel The French Lieutenant's Woman. A lovely copy of a fragile and important book. Chez Ladvocat hardcover

18248529a<p>First edition to contain the engraved frontispiece and title. Marked 'troisième édition' on the title-page this edition is actually the fourth — following the edition printed privately in just 25-40 copies in 1823 and the first two trade editions of 1824. The illustrated edition is considerably rarer at least in commerce than the preceding two trade editions and the true first virtually unobtainable. The plate shows Ourika at the moment of realisation of her isolation and her fate in white European society. Ourika based on fact and influenced by Rousseau and Chateaubriand is the complex story of a black African child bought some said rescued from the slave trade and raised in aristocratic circles in Revolutionary France. It is the first fully developed attempt to portray a black heroine in Europe and the first French novel with a black female narrator. It proved controversial from the start and remains so. On the one hand it has been interpreted as a compassionate account of both racial and female alienation Duras certainly projects her own experience onto that of her heroine while on the other it has been described as a sustained act of appropriation and even as an apology for slavery. Whatever is the case it caused a sensation with the first trade edition of 1824 becoming a bestseller and later editions very widely read in France and further afield with early translations into English German Italian Spanish Swedish and Danish.</p><p>8vo 165 × 90 mm pp. 172 complete with half-title plus engraved frontispiece and an engraved title by Derly after Devéria. A few foredges slightly frayed some spotting to the frontispiece and engraved title. Contemporary marbled sheep. Gilt panelled spine red morocco label. Rubbed but still a good copy.</p> [J.

1824229771824. Duras Claire de. Ourika 1824 presents one of the earliest sustained literary treatments of race gender and social exclusion in nineteenth-century European literature centering a Black female protagonist raised within French aristocratic society. The novella follows Ourika a Senegalese girl educated and socially refined within elite French circles whose status remains defined by racial hierarchy despite her assimilation. Duras a French aristocrat writing in the aftermath of the Revolution situates the narrative within ongoing debates over slavery colonialism and citizenship giving psychological depth to the experience of racialized isolation. The text frames its central theme through the epigraph "This is to be alone this this is solitude!" foregrounding the enforced alienation that structures Ourika's life and emotional world. The work engages directly with the social limitations imposed on Black individuals in European society and contributes to early literary discourse on race and interiority.<br /> <br /> Duras Claire de. Ourika. Paris: Chez L'Advocat Libraire de Son Altesse Sérénissime Monseigneur le Duc de Chartres 1824. Deuxième édition. Text in French. Octavo volume bound in contemporary half leather with marbled boards spine gilt titled "Ourika." Published "au profit d'un établissement de charité."<br /> <br /> Issued during the Bourbon Restoration this edition aligns with a period of continued instability in French policy toward slavery and colonial governance following abolition in 1794 reinstatement under Napoleon and final abolition in 1848. The narrative's focus on a Black female subject within aristocratic society places it within broader intellectual efforts to confront the contradictions of Enlightenment ideals and racial inequality. Duras's portrayal of Ourika as educated perceptive and socially constrained contributed to later Romantic and post-Romantic explorations of marginalized identity. Rubbing to binding extremities with some loss at head and tail of spine; scattered foxing heavier on preliminary leaves; binding sound; overall good condition. unknown
