Edmond & Jules De Goncourt 1884 Renée Mauperin 10 Etchings James Tissot Leather

Description: Hardcover. 4to. Published by G. Charpentier et Cie, Paris, France. 1884. 380 pgs. Illustrated with 10 etchings by James Tissot (with red stamp present) printed in London by F. Goulding. Text in French. Bound in 3/4 leather with marble paper covered boards with titles and raised bands present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. These dark and inky impressions are such both in tone and theme, visually and emotionally. The classic novel by Goncourt, originally published in 1864, is a cautionary tale of an emancipated young woman, the youngest of three siblings, who seeks to double-cross her conniving older brother. Renée Mauperin exposes the plan of her opportunistic brother Henri, who has embarked upon a love triangle between his bride, and his future mother in law, in order to secure a significant dowry. Once Henri has the dowry he is challenged to a duel and loses more than just the money. Renée, left to live with the consequences of her meddling, slowly withers, the victim of grief and regret, and eventually dies of a broken heart. At the time, Tissot was living in London with the young Kathleen Newton, who had moved into his house in St. John's Wood around 1876. Kathleen, declining from tuberculosis (she died on 9 November 1882), would serve as the model for the novel's tragic heroine, who in the last third of the story suffered from a debilitating heart condition. Some of Tissot's illustrations were based on photographs of Kathleen, and he posed for some of the male figures. Her son Cecil Newton appears in one of the engravings, with daughters who may have been his sister, Violet, and Kathleen's sister's daughters, Belle and Lilian.
