Mallarm\u00e9<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Henry Becque<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Known for his caustic and biting portrayal of the 19th-century petty bourgeoisie, Henry Becque wrote a dozen plays, including <em>Les Corbeaux<\/em> and<em> La Parisienne\u00a0<\/em>which have now become one of the classics of the<em>pink comedy<\/em>\".<br \/>\nAccording to the article in <em>La Revue ind\u00e9pendante\u00a0<\/em>in December 1886, Mallarm\u00e9 read this slim play as soon as he received it, but was not a spectator of this one-act comedy until it was revived: \"<em>So I make little difference, taking an example<\/em><br \/>\n<em>the admiration I have retained for several years for a reading of M. Becque's comedy,<\/em> Honest Women <em>and the pleasure derived from its revival yesterday. Whether the actress awakens the spiritual text or whether it's my vision of a reader on the sidelines, that's it.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>like the other works of this rare author, a modern masterpiece in the style of the old theatre. The phrase sings its melody of good sense on the voices so well in tune that are those of the Th\u00e9atre-Fran\u00e7ais; I perceive it to be no less written, in the immortality of<\/em><br \/>\n<em>the brochure. No surprise that I hadn't tasted it beforehand, nor disappointment: but an amateur's delight to see that an almost abstract accuracy, or simply literary in the old sense of the word, finds a certain life at the ramp.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n<p><strong>A charming copy in an elegant mottled paper binding.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RARE FIRST EDITION<br \/>\nPrecious autograph signed letter to St\u00e9phane Mallarm\u00e9<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":13967,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"boutique":[198],"cat_gallery":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[18,33,23],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-13673","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","theme-lettres","auteurs-becque_henry","auteurs-mallarme-stephane","boutique-librairie","editeur-tresse","product_cat-litterature","product_cat-provenances-remarquables","product_cat-theatre","first","outofstock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/13673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13673"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"boutique","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/boutique?post=13673"},{"taxonomy":"cat_gallery","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cat_gallery?post=13673"},{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=13673"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=13673"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=13673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
