EDITION.
Edition drawn 2,500. This beautiful paper on the Dutch, although the last page of comprehensive nomenclature of Works V. Hugo, who is often lacking, and no edition statement on the cover and title.
One of the most beautiful collection of poems by the author, including a poem titled Miss J. (Juliette Drouet), his mistress, whom he met for the first time in 1833 when she sang the role of Princess Negroni in Lucrezia Borgia. She was his mistress for nearly 50 years. Several pieces in this collection are inspired by this passionate love that grips a Victor Hugo 33 years already at the top of his fame as a poet. The bulk of the collection is thus composed of verse plays on the crisis facing the sentimental poet torn between his duties as a husband (married since 1822 with Adele Foucher) and his passion for Juliette Drouet (13 poems: XIV, XXI to XXIV, XXVI-XXXIII), and also the anxiety he feels in relation to the political situation in France.
A monument of French poetry here in the original edition and in a fine binding signed.
Reference: Clouzot, Bibliophile's Guide French , P. 147.
Provenance: This copy of the library of Albert Semiane , known by the pen name of Sciama. poet and bibliophile of the late nineteenth century, author of several collections of poems including "Bagatelles" (1884), "Paris in Sonnets" (1897) and "Sonnets and Nonsense" (1894). Albert Semiane was obviously a bibliophile tasteful lover of Hugo's poetry. It is for him without no doubt that Victor Fields realized this sober and delicate romantic imitation binding.
