Research archive for "The Theory and Practice of the Cine-Roman
Bloomington: N.p. 1974. First Edition. Archive of research materials used by William F. Van Wert in preparing his dissertation "The Theory and Practice of the Cine-Roman" Arno Press 1978. Included are responses to a questionnaire and an album of film stills. <br/><br/>Focusing on the filmmakers of the Rive Gauche movement which slightly preceded the French New Wave and ran parallel through the 1960s Van Wert wanted to explore the literary influence on the works of the movement's principle filmmakers an aspect he felt separated them from their "Cahiers" counterparts. He sent the directors a twenty-question survey to which he received four amicable responses from Alain Robbe-Grillet Henri Colpi and Jean Cayrol. <br/><br/>Alain Robbe-Grillet provides a generous response directly on the questionnaire with his comments in blue and red holograph ink throughout. He describes his reactions to contemporary filmmakers how Godard's works were influential but the work of Truffaut and Chabrol were absolutely not and numerically ranking the importance of each aspect of filmmaking such as the editing soundtrack and directing actors and signs his form "bien cordialement / Robbe-Grillet" at the top right corner of the first leaf. <br/><br/>Jean Cayrol responds with a two-leaf typed letter signed. Cayrol who collaborated with Alain Rensais on "Night and Fog" 1955 and "Muriel" 1963 invites Van Wert to tape a conversation in Paris because of an expressed difficulty in easily articulating his ideas in writing. <br/><br/>Henri Colpi responds with a four leaf six page autograph letter signed on his printed stationery some leaves recto and verso some recto only. Colpi was the director of the 1961 Palme d'Or winning "Une aussi longue absence" and writes the most thorough response addressing each of Van Wert's questions in detail. <br/><br/>Included are 142 original 4 x 6 inch vernacular photographs taken during screenings held by Van Wert using prints obtained from Grove New Yorker Films and others. The photos were ostensibly used as visual references by Van Wert while researching the films referenced in his book. Included are photographs from three films: "L'Immortelle" Robbe-Grillet 1963 "L'Opera mouffe" Agnes Varda 1958 and "Night and Fog" Resnais 1955. Photographs Fine housed in the photo binder used by Van Wert binder Very Good plus with minor chipping and light soiling. <br/><br/>Letters 8.5 x 11 inches to 8.5 x 11.5 inches. Very Good overall housed in a supplied binder. <br/><br/>Also included as reference are Van Wert's books "The Theory and Practice of the Cine-Roman" First Edition Near Fine with minor rubbing and a later printing of "The Film Career of Alain Robbe-Grillet" Very Good in wrappers. <br/><br/>Criterion Collection 238.

Second edition in English. The second English translation this one by Laurent Bordelon according to the British Library catalogue of LE DIABLE BOITEUX a classic French fantasy first published in Paris in 1707. Le Sage's novel "imitated in framework and title . DIABLO COJUELO of Guevara 1641." Asmodée the "diable boiteux" is "released by Don Cléophas Zambullo from a bottle in which he has been imprisoned by an astrologer. To divert his benefactor Asmodée lifts the roofs off the houses of Madrid and shows him what is passing within. This provides the author with an opportunity for a satirical picture of the Parisian society of the day in all its perversity." - Harvey and Heseltine eds The Oxford Companion to French Literature p. 201. "Light entertaining material that has served as the ultimate model for many diabolic tours for purposes of satire and amusement." - Bleiler The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1009. "Less a novel than a sequence of highly entertaining satirical episodes ASMODEUS became the model for numerous narratives in which a demon gives a human being a magical tour of contemporary life and vice." - Barron ed Fantasy Literature 1-45. Bleiler 1978 p. 123. Reginald 08942. Lowndes p. 1343. ESTC N008912. Some offset to upper lower and fore-edge margins of each frontispiece and last leaf of each index caused by interaction of the paper with the leather under the paste-downs some offset from frontispieces on title pages otherwise internally clean and fine throughout. The binding is sound but the calf is quite scuffed and there is cracking peeling and some loss of surface to the spine panels especially that of volume two. An uncommon edition. #131864 Printed for T. Osborn unknown books
