AUTHORS EDITEURS XXe. Lot of autograph pieces by modern authors and critics. Alphonse de CHÂTEAUBRIANT. L.A.S. Le Petit Portail (Loire-Atlantique), January 26, 1914. 2 ff. Stylishly written personal letter in which he talks about his morale and his joy at once again corresponding with a friend and kindred spirit, initiated into writing and the problems of writers. He talks about his forthcoming move to Versailles, where he will indeed spend the war, and asks him about his writing and a book he is preparing on Napoleon. The author's extensive correspondence with Romain Rolland (L'Un et l'autre, 1914-1944, Albin Michel) dates back to 1914. Rolland wrote a small opuscule on Napoleon that has not yet appeared in book form, and it is conceivable that he was the recipient of this correspondence. Alphonse van Bredenbeck de Châteaubriant (1877-1951), Catholic writer, Prix Goncourt winner in 1911, but intellectual who fraternized with the Nazis (sentenced to death in absentia) while still being a Dreyfus supporter. COPPÉE François (1842-1908), French poet, playwright and novelist. 2 L.A.S., brown ink, 2 pp. in small in-12 format, "François Coppée" to "Mon cher Jeantet", La Fraizière, by Mandres (S.-et-O.), (s.d.). And a C.A.S. to the printed address of La Fraizière, by Mandres (S.-et-O.), (s.d.). Very fine autograph signatures. Who addresses his publisher; "Here's my article, I'm ahead of schedule as you can see, and I'd be much obliged if you'd send me, without delay, a proof." About the writer Jean Blaize, he writes; "I hold this young man to be one of the elite among the new [...]." Anecdotal blemishes. -LITERARY CRITICISM. Lot of 2 autograph pieces, in-12 format. A small manuscript on 7 pp. of gray paper, "Chronique sur les Livres / La Critique", s.d. (early 20th century). Fine, legible handwriting, erasures and indentations on recto. Suite of notes, a kind of review of works: Le Quarantième fauteuil, by Henry; La Vie de Ernest Renan, by M. J. Darmesteter and Études de littérature européennes by Joseph Texte. A L.A.S. from Paul de Saint-Victor, French essayist and literary critic (1825-1881) about theater, addressed to a woman. Undated.
