‎THE OLD SCHOOL : A STUDY IN THE ODDITIES OF THE ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.‎

‎<p>London : Hamish Hamilton 1986. First edition. Reminiscence draped "in the camouflage of discretion" - "More rubbish has been written about the British public school system than possibly any other subject in the field of education . Raven admits that he discovered a 'great many snakes' in his 'Public School Eden'. But he reminds us: 'Grubs that feed on filth turn into painted butterflies'. Which admirably explains the unique strength of the public school. It's a case of Give me the boy and I'll make him a man. Doing this isn't easy - that's why people pay for it" Newcastle Journal 25th September 1986. Medium 8vo 25cm. 2xii140vipp. Plates.

‎'IS THERE ANYBODY THERE' SAID THE TRAVELLER : MEMORIES OF A PRIVATE NUISANCE.‎

‎<p>London : Frederick Muller 1990. First edition. A curious late Raven memoir apparently soon withdrawn from publication having been subjected to the most savage reviews he can ever have experienced - by Craig Brown Christopher Hitchens Humphrey Carpenter and not least by Auberon Waugh - "With a shock we realise that Raven is writing about real people albeit dead ones . I am sorry to be pompous but this simply won't do . These were all people that I knew . Forget about libel or good taste or the normal standards of civilised reticence . The interesting thing is not that he should have had these experiences but that he should choose to say he has and that he should find a publisher prepared to print them".

‎DU FAIL, Noel (ca. 1520-1591)‎

‎Les contes et discours d’Eutrapel .‎

‎<p>"Un text en prose de la force de Villon" Sainte-Beuve</p><p>8vo 159x92 mm. 2 223 recte 219 1 leaves. Collation: 2 A-Z8 Aa-Dd8 Ee4. Typographic ornament on the title page. Full burgundy morocco gilt spine with five raised bands double blind-ruled fillet on the panels inside gilt dentelle gilt edges Pagnant. A very good copy.</p><p>Original edition second issue first: 1585 of the author's final collection of stories. This second issue is identical to the first including in the pagination errors but for the title page that was reset.</p><p>Noël Du Fail contributed to what literary historians termed the Golden Age of French Renaissance narrative fiction. In this respect he is part of a trio including Marguerite de Navarre and Bonaventure Des Périers. Du Fail might be regarded as a Renaissance sociologist then the <em>Contes d'Eutrapel</em> throws considerable light on the manners and general life of the day and there is frequent mention of contemporaries e.g. Girolamo Cardano's visit to the Paris medical faculty. The fantasies of Rabelais' stories and the psychology of Marguerite's characterizations have been replaced in Du Fail by a kind of Balzacian observation and recording of detail. If one views Du Fail's work as a whole it is clear that he wanted to unshackle himself from the conventions of narrative fiction especially the constraints of a sustained plot in order to criticize more directly contemporary socio-political developments. That he straddles two social backgrounds as country gentleman and lawyer gives us an inside to the thematic tensions that characterize his work: past and present city and country decadence and utopia Catholic and Protestant conservatism and social criticism cf. M.-C. Bichard-Thomine <em>Noël Du Fail conteur</em> Paris 2001 pp. 161-184.</p><p>Noël Du Fail born at the Manoir de Chateau-Létard near Rennes in Brittany studied law in Paris and saw military service in Italy in the army of François I participating in the battle of Cérisolle in 1544. He then lectures law at various French universities: Angers Poitiers Bourges and others. Beginning in 1547 he published a series of miscellaneous stories <em>Propos rustiques</em> some fictional others drawn from life incorporating into them wider reflections on society in the manner of Rabelais and Montaigne. Estienne Pasquier writing to Ronsard in 1555 speaks of him as a 'singe de Rabelais'. This is a completely uncritical remark for though Du Fail is an evident admirer of Rabelais and frequently refers to him in his books his style is his own and only resembles that of his master in a few peculiarities. His second collection of stories was published in 1548 under the title of <em>Baliverneries</em>. At that time he started his career as a lawyer judge and politician. He became councillor to the Parlement de Bretagne but was excluded from it in 1573 for his Protestant faith. Reinstate in 1576 he resumed his career and retired a year after the publication of <em>Eutrapel</em> cf. A J Krailsheimer <em>Three sixteenth-century conteurs</em> Oxford 1966 pp. 137-49.</p><p>That the name of the printer on the title page Noël Glamet and the place of printing Rennes were fictitious was clearly shown by L. Loviot <em>L'imprimeur des 'Contes d'Eutrapel'</em> in: "Revue des livres anciens" II 1917 pp. 312-313 who assigned the first and all subsequent sixteenth-century editions of the <em>Contes d'Eutrapel</em> to the Parisian press of Jean Richer.</p><p>"Né vers 1520 Noël Du Fail assez gros gentilhomme terrien a quelque soixante-cinq ans lorsqu'il donne les <em>Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel</em>. Voilà plus de trente-cinq années qu'il est sagement fixé après une jeunesse peut-être mouvementée dans la Haute-Bretagne où il est né. Voilà presque le même temps qu'il est marié; le même encore qu'il exerce à Rennes des fonctions de conseiller d'abord au Présidial puis au Parlement: en cette année 1585 il est sur le point de prendre sa retraite. Les <em>Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel</em> sont l'Å“uvre d'un homme qui a vécu: 'le feu seigneur de la Hérissaye.'. Notre homme est alors tourmenté par la goutte. Il est en relations difficiles avec nombre de ses voisins pour des motifs d' 'opinions' religeuses. L'état de la France et notamment de la noblesse française le préoccupe très fort. Les <em>Contes et Discours</em> ne sont pas exempts de traces de désarroi. Si l'homme a de l'expérience l'écrivain non plus n'en manque pas. Les <em>Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel</em> apparaissent comme une 'rentrée' près de quarante ans après deux livrets facétieux <em>Propos rustiques</em> and <em>Baliverneries</em> … Å’uvre d'un vieillard qui recrée à sa table le monde où il a vécu - et souvent aussi un monde plus ancien plus ou moins mythique dont il aime à vanter l'innocence - les <em>Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel</em> sont essentiellement un livre descriptif. On peut même parfois déplorer chez Du Fail une tendance a épuiser le réel: ce désir de rivaliser avec le foisonnement des choses par le foisonnement des mots est une de ses façons çà ou là un peu scolaires d'être 'rabelaisien'. Mais quelques excès n'ôtent rien au fait qu'il est excellent observateur et peintre … Le theme qu'il aime d'abord c'est celui de la vie domestique. Les <em>Contes et Discours</em> présentent donc une riche galerie de femmes - car la femme incarne la maison. Du Fail insinue qu'elle se complaît fort à cet empire. Voyez plutôt ce guerrier si brave pourtant sur les champs de bataille gêné chez lui dans ses plaisirs par une épouse 'la plus avaricieuse et chiche qui fust au pays n'osant manger son soûl de peur que la terre ne luy defaillist' et prompte même à lui infliger des coups de bâton. Le ton d'une maison est donné par les dames de céans: leurs petites jalousies dès qu'il s'agit par exemple de parures ou de préséances le banc à l'église sont assez pour allumer la guerre avec les voisins car le malheureux époux ne peut qu'épouser la querelle de sa femme voudrait-elle faire battre ciel et terre - comme il arrive. Si l'on veut réconcilier les maris il faut commencer par apaiser ces dames. Mais la femme est bien excusable de s'identifier à la maison et d'y faire ainsi sentir son règne. Car c'est elle qui assure la vie de tous soigne les malades accomplit les rites du voisinage et de l'hospitalité donne les ordres aux domestiques veille aux 'buees' et au 'menu mesnage'. Plus: les temmes et elles seules 'gaignent leur vie' par leur continuel travail à la quenouille - dans toutes les classes de la société - et sans doute ce détail importe … Les données concernant l'alimentation sont bien plus nombreuses. Elles permettent d'abord d'admirer la belle unité des pays français dès le XVIe siècle en ce domaine de base. Tout comme à Metz ou aux bords du Rhône s'opposent ici les viandes au 'pot' - qui sont l'ordinaire - et les viandes friandes: 'pièce tremblante' de bÅ“uf ou bien sûr volailles rôties à la broche dans les grandes occasions. Le fond de l'alimentation est là encore le pain tenu pour sacré en tout cas pour toujours précieux et que le maître veille à ne pas laisser gas-Bretagne comme ailleurs la maison a ses provisions de 'chair': 'andouille à la cheminee' 'jambon au charnier'; il semble que ces provisions soient plus ou moins considérées comme la propriété de la femme et que lorsque le mari se rue en cuisine cela soit jugé comme un larcin à son épouse. Du Fail confirme aussi en cette fin de siècle la généralisation de l'usage du vin objet d'un culte quasi mystique: c'étaient les anciens qui buvaient du cidre; aujourd'hui même les Bretons ont leurs crus - diversement appréciés - et ainsi l'habitude du 'vin de coucher' qu'on a vue partout répandue transparaît même dans les locutions courantes. Sur ce chapitre du régime les <em>Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel</em> apportent toutefois deux notations plus originales. C'est ainsi qu'Eutrapel est décidé à appliquer le conseil du Gargantua et à 'souper' le soir plus copieusement qu'il ne 'disne' sur les dix ou onze heures du matin: l'habitude devait donc être à l'inverse. Surtout Du Fail insiste à plusieurs reprises sur la nécessité de solidement manger. Habitant une terre déjà septentrionale les Français ne peuvent pas sans grande imprudence se contenter de nourritures légères … Le noble auteur des <em>Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel</em> est qu'il le veuille ou non un lettré - comme Tahureau comme Montaigne. En art il mêle aux goûts du gentilhomme breton ceux que l'humaniste a contractés dans sa jeunesse. Il prend parti dans les débats de son époque se montrant partisan résolu des modernes dont il ne réprouve que les excès. Comme tant d'hommes de son temps il aime à se poser des 'questions de nature' à élucider patiemment les choses par le 'discours'. Si au long de sa vie de Conseiller à Rennes il a surtout lu des livres de jurisprudence outre bien entendu tous nos recueils de 'contes' le vieil homme qu'il est maintenant prend goût de plus en plus aux ouvrages de 'curiositez'. Mais son 'encyclopédisme' n'a nullement le caractère parcellaire parfois ludique qu'il revêt chez un Cholières ou un G. Bouchet. Ceux-ci - le second surtout - emploient souvent le discours à des élucubrations très théoriques étrangères à leur expérience d'hommes. Esprit profondément sérieux convaincu de la mission éclairante et si l'on ose dire récapitulatrice de la raison humaine Du Fail lui ne s'intéresse en fin de compte qu'à la conduite de la vie à la morale . La structure même des <em>Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel</em> le montre bien: leur dernier chapitre annonce et décrit 'la retraite d'Eutrapel' de sorte que tous les propos viennent confluer dans la définition d'un art de vivre - art de vivre sur lequel il n'y a pas grand chose à dire puisqu'il se résume à suivre gaîment nature et à accomplir les devoirs de son état on vient de dire ceux du gentilhomme mais chaque situation a les siens dans une 'médiocrité' à l'antique qu'éclaire la lumière de l'Evangile … Ainsi bien des contradictions latentes dans les <em>Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel</em> montrent que nous sommes parvenus à une limite. Si un écrivain veut débattre de sciences ou d'idées commenter les expériences de sa vie pourquoi ne rompt-il pas franchement les liens avec le genre narratif Qu'il supprime la rencontre des devisants l'accréditation globale ou successive des propos. Du même coup l'obligation de plus en plus artificielle d'être 'facétieux' s'évanouira pour lui. Il aura quitté le vieux genre narratif. Et il aura inventé l' 'essai'. A moins de cent lieues de Du Fail et exactement dans les mêmes années Montaigne - ou bientôt même Le Poulchre - aura eu cette simple audace tirant les conséquences logiques de l'évolution du genre. C'est sans doute parce que Du Fail est déjà un vieil homme attaché depuis sa jeunesse à la tradition des 'contes' qu'il n'a pas franchi le pas …" G.-A.
