True first edition, first printing with the mistake in the name of the dedicatee, "Sà nart" written with T and not a D, "nor of your dedication" on the same page, which will become "and of your dedication", and the double space between two words p. 7 (23rd line) of the author's masterpiece. Octavo, two volumes, bound in half leather over marbled boards. In near fine condition, owner name. A very sharp example. âNovelists should thank Gustave Flaubert the way poets thank spring: it begins with him. He is the originator of the modern novel⦠He began writing Madame Bovary in September 1851, and delivered the manuscript in 1856, when he was 35⦠No novelist agonized as much or as publicly⦠And no novelist reflected as self-consciously on questions of technique⦠Thus âstyle was bornâ (New York Times Book Review). Upon publication of Madame Bovary, both Flaubert and his publisher were arrested on charges of immorality and narrowly escaped conviction. Although purportedly based in part on the life of Flaubertâs friend Louise Pradier, the authorâs claim that âMadame Bovary is myself,â with his unrelenting objectivity and deep compassion for his characters, identified him as the great master of the Realist school of French literature. The first edition in book form was published in France in 1857. With frontispiece, five full-page illustrations and ornamental head- and tailpieces.

First English edition. 8vo. xxii, 383, [32, adverts] pp., with six plates (including the frontispiece). Original blue-green cloth, front cover lettered in black flanked by a gilt decorative band and cherubs, further floral bands with central roundels to the head and foot, spine lettered in gilt, rear cover with blind stamped publisher's monograph within triple blind fillet border, edges untrimmed. London, Vizetelly & Co. A seminal work of nineteenth century literature, translated by Eleanor Marx-Aveling, Karl Marx's daughter, and with a long and insightful introduction by her. An English translation of Madame Bovary is said to have been attempted as early 1857 by Julie Herbert, the governess to Flaubert's own niece, but a willing publisher in Britain was never found and the manuscript has been lost to history. The first English translation appeared in America in 1881, published in Philadelphia and translated by Mary Neal Sherwood, a prolific American translator of French and Russian literature who generally published her translations under the pseudonym John Stirling. The Eleanor Marx translation was therefore the first English edition to be printed in Britain. Although it was preceded by this earlier American effort, 'Eleanor Marx?s translation of Madame Bovary has endured like none other', forming the basis of many succeeding editions (Apter, Against World Literature: On the Politics of Untranslatability, p. 563). Small engraved bookplate of 'Ernest Pearce' to front pastedown with a few neat pencilled marginal annotations signed 'E.P.' Spine ever so slightly dulled, two small marks to front cover, extremities lightly rubbed, some very faint spotting to edges of text block and first two leaves, otherwise an excellent copy.

First Edition
First edition in English of Flaubert's masterpiece, in the attractively decorated cloth, one of the most notable books in the sequence of English translations of French and Russian novels published by Henry Vizetelly in this decade. The translator was Karl Marx's daughter, Eleanor, then living openly with Edward Bibbens Aveling, a married man whose name she used in conjunction with her own. First published in the magazine La Revue de Paris in 1856, Madame Bovary was immediately sued for "outrage aux bonnes moeurs" ("affront to public decency"). Flaubert appeared before the court on 7 February 1857, but was found not not guilty and publication resumed. The ensuing publicity also ensured that upon publication the book became a bestseller. The heroine of the novel, Emma Bovary, ultimately commits suicide by swallowing arsenic - a fate which also befell her translator, Eleanor Marx-Aveling. Madame Bovary is now acknowledged as one of the greatest novels in the Western canon. The publisher, Henry Richard Vizetelly (18201894), specialized in translations of French and Russian novels: "Many of them affronted Victorian notions of propriety. It was above all his publication, between 1884 and 1888, of translations of seventeen novels by Emile Zola that brought him notoriety for the first time in his life and turned him into a reluctant martyr, one of the early heroes of the fight against oppressive literary censorship" (ODNB). Octavo. Original blue-green diagonal-ribbed cloth, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, title in gilt on blue ground and gilt floral decoration to front cover, rear cover ruled in blind with publisher's device blind-stamped at centre, black coated endpapers. With tissue guarded frontispiece and 5 plates from etchings by Daniel Mordant after Albert Fourié; advertisement leaf at front. Bookplate to front pastedown of Edward Sprague Marsh (1857-1939) lawyer active in Brandon, Vermont, rare book collector and editor, engraved by William Fowler Hopson; 20th-century bookplate to front free endpaper of one William West, based on the title page of Robert Ross's Aubrey Beardsley (1909); pencil inscription "ex libris BJB - JB Buckingham Sr" to verso of last leaf. Spine toned and leaning, creasing to spine ends, a touch of wear to extremities, a few light marks to covers, inner hinges split, book block remaining firm, contents mildly toned, light ink stain to two leaves, otherwise fresh and clean throughout. An attractive copy.

First Edition
[an amazingly fine copy] Translated from the French Édition Définitive by Eleanor Marx-Aveling. London: Vizetelly & Co., 1886. 2 pp preliminary ads. Original aqua-blue cloth decorated in gilt, black and dark grey. First English Edition of Flaubert's masterpiece, which was destined to become one of the great classics of world literature. Portraying the frustrations and love affairs of romantic young Emma Bovary, married to a dull provincial doctor, the book -- first published in French in late 1856 -- resulted in Flaubert being prosecuted on moral grounds. However, he won the case, while the book gained notoriety that spurred its sales in France. It was MADAME BOVARY that established Flaubert as one of the supreme masters of the realistic novel, with his objective, precise style typified by his use of "le mot juste." Somerset Maugham selected MADAME BOVARY as one of the ten greatest novels, saying that "Flaubert created the modern realistic novel and directly or indirectly has influenced all the writers of fiction since his day." Although the novel did appear in the early 1880s in America (a little-known undated Peterson edition, probably 1881), it did not appear in England until here in 1886, because UK publishers would not touch it -- due to the fact that the lending libraries (responsible for most of any novel's initial sales) would likewise refuse it. Enter the Italian (but London-born) publisher Henry Vizetelly, who in 1886 established this publishing house and set about publishing "Realistic Novels" that the lending libraries had been preventing the English public from reading -- beginning with this book. It was largely Vizetelly, and the public clamoring for his books (despite his being prosecuted for obscenity), who brought about the decline and ultimately the demise of the three-decker format in Britain -- in 1894, coincidentally the year of Vizetelly's death. The translator -- and the author of the 16-page Introduction about Flaubert and the writing of MADAME BOVARY -- was Eleanor "Tussy" Marx (1855-1898), the English-born youngest daughter of Karl Marx. As a child she had played in his study as he wrote DAS KAPITAL (published in 1867), and at the age of 16 she became his secretary, accompanying him to socialist conferences around the world. Her father died in 1883, soon after which she and Edward Aveling, under the aegis of Friedrich Engels, saw to the publication of the second volume of DAS KAPITAL. In 1886, the year this book was published, she toured the US with Aveling and the German socialist Wilhelm Liebknecht. A dozen years later (in early 1898), she discovered that the ailing Aveling had secretly married a young actress and, at age 43, "Tussy" ended her life with cyanide -- very similarly to how Emma Bovary had ended her life with arsenic. This is an amazingly fine copy -- by far the best we have ever seen. Typically, copies have substantial soil and rubbing of this aqua-blue cloth -- but this copy is clean and bright, essentially without wear or soil. The dark green coated endpapers are intact, and the volume is tight. One could not hope for a better copy, of this literary classic that brought together a great author, the debut of a historically-significant publisher, and a talented translator and feminist. Housed in a clamshell case with leather labels.
