‎Édition originale des Mémoires de Joseph Grimaldi (1779-1837), publiée par Charles Dickens. Premier tirage sans la bordure ajoutée à la planche The last song du second volume. Charles Dickens (1812-1870), qui a débuté sa carrière comme simple sténographe, est devenu par la suite l'un des romanciers anglais les plus populaires avec Oliver Twist, Pickwick ou David Copperfield. Dans ses romans, inspirés de son enfance douloureuse, il raconte le destin de jeunes héros qui sont en quête d'une existence meilleure et cherchent à oublier leur origine miséreuse. « Maître d'un monde ambigu dont la réalité donne sans cesse sur le rêve », il a créé des personnages guidés par l'espoir, aux prises avec un monde qui, contaminé par le système capitaliste, souffre d'un mal social. Un Dickens méconnu. Dans ce roman biographique, qui relate les étranges aventures du plus grand clown anglais du XIXe siècle, le jeune Boz laisse déjà percevoir son étonnant talent de conteur. Voici un ouvrage de Dickens à peu près ignoré en France, qui fut partiellement traduit en 1951, dans une édition confidentielle, aujourd'hui épuisée et introuvable (Éditions du Globe). L'histoire de ce manuscrit est assez surprenante, et c'est par un curieux détour que Dickens en devint l'auteur officiel: le clown Grimaldi employa l’année qui précéda sa mort à rédiger l'histoire complète de sa vie, puis confia le volumineux manuscrit à un ami, qui s'appliqua à le condenser avant de le présenter à un premier éditeur. Celui-ci, profitant de la liberté que lui rendait la mort de l'auteur, les porta immédiatement à Charles Dickens. Charles Dickens, en 1838, n'avait que vingt-cinq ans, mais sous le pseudonyme de « Boz » était déjà un auteur chéri du public. Les Sketches, publiés dans les journaux et magazines dont ils avaient fait le succès, les Pickwick Papers, si promptement populaires, avaient assis en trois ou quatre ans sa réputation. Le propriétaire des Mémoires de Grimaldi eut donc toutes les raisons de penser qu'il en tirerait un excellent parti si Dickens les remaniait entièrement en y déployant sa simplicité un peu narquoise, sa bonhomie rusée, sa profonde connaissance des mœurs vulgaires, de l'argot populaire et des excentricités mal famées. Dickens, de son côté, sentit que c'était là pour sa plume un heureux sujet, et qu'elle ne dérogerait pas en s'associant aux souvenirs d'un clown, il est vrai, mais d'un clown comme on n'en avait guère vu jusqu'alors. La vie du grand Joe, son aventureuse carrière, nous livre en effet quelques-uns des plus curieux aspects des mœurs britanniques, de la vie de ses théâtres et de ses bas-fonds. Le hasard, en semant bien des incidents étranges, des rencontres dramatiques, des péripéties bizarres dans l'existence de ce comédien, semble s'être complu à lui faire un sort extraordinaire, et à le désigner ainsi doublement à l'attention des biographes. Et par bien des aspects, Dickens vit sans doute en cet enfant prodige et en cet artiste au cœur pur une sorte de double de lui-même. L'édition est illustrée d'un portrait de l'auteur gravé sur cuivre par William Greatbach (1792-1878) d'après un dessin de Samuel Raven (1775-1847), ainsi que de 12 compositions hors texte, également gravées sur cuivre, de George Cruikshank (1792-1878). Bel exemplaire, imprimé sur papier vélin, en reliure de Bayntun, relieur anglais de Bath.‎

‎Futuristic Fiction, Utopia, and Satire in the Age of the Enlightenment. Samuel Madden's 'Memoirs of the Twentieth Century' (1733)‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 460 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:10 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503606026.‎


‎Summary Published anonymously in 1733, Memoirs of the Twentieth Century is one of the earliest futuristic novels known in Anglophone and Euro-American literature. It foregrounds an acceleration of history brought about by an increasing degree of global interconnectedness, and the exclusion of prophetism and astrology as credible ways to know the future. The work of Samuel Madden, an Irish writer and philanthropist of Whig sympathies, it consists of a collection of diplomatic letters composed in the 1990s, which the narrator claims were brought to him from the time to come by a supernatural entity. Through these correspondences, twentieth-century world scenarios are spread out before the reader, in which British naval power rules the waves and international commerce, while the transnational scheming of the Jesuits threatens the independence of weaker European courts. This book - which includes a study followed by an annotated edition of the text - assesses the cultural significance of this literary work, as an apt observatory on how historical time as a cultural construction was shaped, during the eighteenth century, by new forms of transnational circulation of information, and by the dubious space carved out in European culture by seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century debates on the nature of historical knowledge. Through and by means of the Memoirs case study, this volume aims to contribute to a wider cultural history of the future and speculative fiction. The novel's ironic distancing of beliefs considered to be superstitious and absurd - such as divination techniques and occult and magical disciplines - offers an exceptional testimony to the negotiation of the boundaries of verisimilitude and credibility within a religious enlightenment.
