BARBEY D'AUREVILLY, Jules (1808-1889)
Une Histoire sans nom. Paris : Lemerre, 1882.
Édition originale.

Exemplaire enrichi d'un bel envoi autographe signé de Barbey d'Aurevilly à celui qu'il qualifiera de "poète du rythme" : "à Mr Théodore de Banville, témoignage de la plus haute admiration et de la plus chaude amitié. Un livre noir à un homme éclatant !" Inspiré par les romantiques mais très critique envers les parnassiens, Barbey d'Aurevilly entretient des sentiments contradictoires à l'égard de la poésie de Banville, qui unit les deux courants : "on peut prendre Banville pour le dernier des romantiques contemporains. Il en a les qualités les plus brillantes : l'amour de l'image, du rhythme, de la langue, qu'il aime un peu comme une courtisane amoureuse et... stérile. Il en a le besoin d'idéal vague et tourmenté. Défauts inévitables de l'école tout entière, mais qualités de ceux qui la dominèrent, et qu'il aurait très bien pu ne pas avoir !" Il conclut : "un poète comme Banville [...] n'a eu qu'un tort pour sa gloire, c'est de venir dix ou vingt ans trop tard dans la poésie collective de son temps." (Poésie et poètes, 1906, pp. 63-71) Vicaire, I, col. 305-306 ; Carteret, I, p. 112.

In-12 (185 x 115 mm). Édition originale. Avec la faute à la page 208 : "ses belles dents jaunes" au lieu de "ses belles dents jeunes". Reliure moderne : maroquin grenat mosaïqué de bandes horizontales de maroquin Lavallière en continu sur le dos, dos à nerfs, doublures et gardes de soie Lavallière, tête rouge, couverture jaune conservée.
Provenance : Théodore de Banville (1823-1891 ; envoi) -- Colonel Sickles (sa vente ; 23 octobre 1991, lot n° 3832)

First edition, this copy inscribed by the author to Théodore de Banville.
