From Wikipedia "Théophile Gautier, when asked to write a story about d'Aubigny, instead produced the novel Mademoiselle de Maupin, published in 1835, taking aspects of the real La Maupin as a starting point, and naming some of the characters after her and her acquaintances. The central character's life was viewed through a romantic lens as "all for love". D'Albert and his mistress Rosette are both in love with the androgynous Théodore de Sérannes, whom neither of them knows is really Madeleine de Maupin. A performance of Shakespeare's As You Like It, in which La Maupin, who is passing as Théodore, plays the part of Rosalind playing Ganymede, mirrors the cross-dressing pretense of the heroine. The celebration of sensual love, regardless of gender, was radical, and the book was banned by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice and authorities elsewhere.". wood engravings by Howard Simon (illustrator).…

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2024. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- 2 livrets en feuillets sous pochette plastic. Format 21,5 x 15,5 cm ( 106 gr ). ------ 47 pages + Livret d'images de 4 double-feuillets. ******************** Présentation éditeur : "" Quels que soient son costume et son numéro, le clown est certainement le symbole même du cirque. Même s il n a pas à proprement parler d ancêtres, d aucuns ont voulu supputer que le personnage pouvait avoir quelques lointaines ressemblances avec les farces du Moyen Âge ou la comédie italienne. Cependant, la figure du clown apparaît au XIXe siècle, en Angleterre d abord, puis en France. Il est une nouveauté qui s impose peu à peu en délaissant les tours de l acrobate, du funambule, de l athlète en somme. En abandonnant ainsi les prouesses corporelles, le clown devient un être à part, un être d art et de spectacle, un être spirituel, qui parvient à produire un spectacle entier à lui seul. Et c est sans doute pourquoi le clown n a pas alors manqué de susciter la curiosité de nombreux écrivains et artistes, dont le présent volume a réuni quelques-unes des oeuvres afin de rendre hommage, comme il se doit, à cette figure si singulière du spectacle vivant. Comme le veut la collection Livrets d art, le présent ouvrage comprend un cahier des images dans lequel ont été rassemblées avec soin des reproductions d uvres pour illustrer les textes consacrés à la figure du clown .
