1838167701Paris: Ladvocat 1838. The most important French socialist-feminist of the 1830s and 1840s Second edition published the same year as the first of the radical philosopher's only novel vividly articulating her goal of social revolution through female emancipation. Méphis is uncommonly met with; we trace only one previous auction listing for any edition. The philosophy of Flora Tristan 1803-1844 linked the nascent socialist theories of class struggles with the contested position of women in contemporary society. Following the mixed reception of her previous political works in Méphis she employs the conventions of the novel to visualise her conception of social reform. The work centres on the titular protagonist's relationships with two aristocratic women and the tensions implicit therein - both in his proletariat origins and in the broader patriarchal conventions weighing on them. Tristan draws several "vivid evocations of feminist role models" Cross & Gray p. 2 thereby winning the novel "a secure place in French Romantic literature" Puech quoted in Cross & Gray p. 2. The work gained further notoriety due to the events surrounding its publication. In 1838 Tristan's estranged husband - a failed artist enraged by her literary success - shot her in the street in broad daylight. Miraculously she was not seriously injured and the resulting trial boosted her sales considerably. Tristan's socialist-feminist philosophy anticipates several aspects of Marx and Engels: she most notably coined the term "Workers of the world unite" a full five years before they deployed it in the Communist Manifesto. She is consequently considered "the most important French socialist-feminist of the 1830s and 1840s" Collins & Weil-Sayre p. 229. The second volume includes two of Tristan's articles on the history of western art which had formerly appeared in L'Artiste. 2 vols octavo 209 x 131 mm pp. iv vii 1 365 1; pp. iv 390 2. Wood-engraved vignette to title pages. Contemporary red quarter sheep spines lettered ruled and elaborately decorated in gilt red marbled sides marbled endpapers edges sprinkled black blue silk bookmarkers.

1843150437Paris: Prévot and Rouanet 1843. Coining the slogan "workers of the world unite!" five years before the Communist Manifesto First edition of the revolutionary French socialist's most famous work urging the working class to unite a call for international emancipation which appeared five years before the Communist Manifesto. Tristan is "perhaps the most celebrated of all 19th-century French feminists" Moses p. 107. Tristan's struggles as both the poverty-stricken illegitimate daughter of a Peruvian noble and as the wife of a violently abusive husband forced her to travel at various points in her life to England as a ladies' companion and Peru in the hopes of re-establishing her family ties. Upon returning to Paris in 1835 Tristan fought her husband André Chazal for custody of her two surviving children and succeeded in regards to her daughter. It was not until 1836 after Chazal shot Tristan that she was granted legal separation and the right to take back the name Tristan. Both as respite from and because of this domestic turmoil Tristan became enthusiastically involved in a number of feminist and socialist groups and activities - she published pamphlets on female immigration petitioned in favour of divorce and for the abolishment of capital punishment attended meetings of the Gazette des femmes group and engaged with the utopian socialism of the Fourierists. "In Union ouvrière Tristan rallies the French working class urging them to create a national organization that would be financed by subscriptions from the twenty-five million workers. She believed that any change among the working class must be initiated by the workers themselves: 'Now the day has come when one must act and it is up to you and only you to act in the interest of your own cause'. Despite her call to action Tristan maintained a firm stance against violence and called only for passive resistance; she believed that destructive acts would only heighten workers' problems. She tried to enlist the bourgeoisie in her plan on the basis that it would help prevent begging and theft. The second part of Tristan's crusade was her attempt to improve the position of women within the workplace and society. She argued that all classes of women should participate in the Workers' Union to lobby simultaneously for feminism and socialism. Her third chapter entitled 'Why I Mention Women' aims to establish continuity between the desires of the workers and those of women" Orlando. Unable to find a publisher willing to print the unorthodox tract she funded the book's publication herself through donations from friends acquaintances and public appeal. From these donations 14000 copies of this first edition were printed stated as "Edition populaire" which she sold for 50 centimes each. In Lyons the fundraising efforts of her working-class followers underwrote a further printing of 10000 copies. Such circulation was very high for the time: the print run of the Communist Manifesto in 1848 by contrast was 2000 copies. "Increasing scholarly attention is revealing her as a pivotal figure in the shift from early nineteenth-century utopian to Marxist economic socialism. Her insistence on the inextricability of class and gender oppression makes her a foundational socialist feminist theorist" ibid. Duodecimo. Uncut in original yellow wrappers printed in black. Housed in quarter calf chemise and slipcase. Slight split to front joint but holding wrappers and contents clean a very good well-preserved copy.

Measuring 140 x 80mm and collating complete including frontis and publisher's catalogue to rear: vii 1 blank 199 1 errata 8 1 blank. A Near Fine copy with some scuffing to boards and joints and small chip to foot of spine. Contemporary ownership inscription to front endpaper: "Margaret Jane Palliser. Dublin 1824." A scarce work of juvenile fiction aimed at young women it is unrecorded in OCLC and Sadleir though there is mention of a later 1824 "fourth edition" and an American edition from 1827. <br /> <br /> Simple on its surface each new chapter of Harriet and Her Cousin unfolds a new layer of prejudice that all too commonly prevents young women from finding meaningful connections with each other. Raised in a rural religious household young Harriet has a spiritual awakening that leaves her soul altered. More excited about the world and the people around her and more capable of subtle observations she undertakes a journey to Edinburgh both to visit her soon-to-be-wed best friend Maria as well as to visit her grandfather and cousin Julia. On arrival Harriet is shocked by Julia's coldness and initially assumes it is prejudice against her own Christianity. Introduced to the sparkling and accomplished ladies of Julia's circle she then begins to suspect it is prejudice against her simple country nature. Only over time does Julia feel comfortable opening up to Harriet about her loneliness -- an isolation born out of the high society expectations that women reserve warm feelings and engage instead in gossip back-biting and flirtations that make them untrustworthy. As she has witnessed Harriet's refusal to conform to these behaviors Julia bonds with Harriet as an intimate friend capable of deep and meaningful conversation. Indeed Harriet learns that even with her awakened spirituality she too has much to learn about dismantling her own prejudices. Thomsons Brothers unknown
