‎Renard Maurice‎

‎New Bodies for Old or The Strange Experiments of Dr. Lerne‎

‎New York: The Macaulay Company 1923. Original American Edition. Hardcover. NF contents; VG covers; Good DJ with some fading to spine a bump to upper outer front corner and small tears to head/tail of spine. Moss green cloth/boards; black lettering. Moss green dj with black lettering including an excerpt from the dedication to H.G. Wells. All edges painted green. 308 pages with no illustrations. A scarce copy of the American English edition of Renard's early sci-fi novel originally published in France as Le Docteur Lerne. "The publication of Renard's first sf novel in 1908 Le Docteur Lerne Doctor Lerne gained him rave reviews and launched him into the limelight of Parisian literary circles. Although strongly derivative of Wells' The Island of Dr Moreau 1896-an influence openly acknowledged by Renard in his dedication-Le Docteur Lerne extrapolates the notion of biological engineering much further than Wells all the way into the fantastic. After years of experimentation in grafting animal parts to plants and vice-versa producing at times some quite amazing results Dr. Lerne begins interchanging brains between animals between humans and even between animals and humans. As a result of these experiments he ultimately learns how to project his own mind and spirit into other animate and not-so-animate objects like people trees and even an automobile. The narrative itself is recounted in the first person by Dr. Lerne's visiting nephew Nicolas: he gradually in detective-like fashion uncovers the truth of his uncle's experiments and his reactions to them range from morbid curiosity to outright horror. Part of the originality of the tale however is not in the sometimes outlandish plot sequences but in the manner in which they are told. The originality of this novel is two-fold: in its sf eroticism and in how it portrays the mind-body split through narrative point of view. One example: Nicolas is forced to have his brain exchanged with that of a bull. Following the surgery the young man must now struggle to acclimate himself to the alien: not only to his new bovine body and instincts but also to seeing his old self as the "other"-especially when the latter makes overtly sexual advances toward "his" mistress. Another example: later in the text after receiving his own brain back again the narrator is in the throes of a steamy sexual interlude with his aforementioned mistress when he suddenly feels the presence of another person's identity intruding into his mind and taking over his body: it is Dr. Lerne who gazing through a peephole nearby decides to become a more-than-first-hand observer to the proceedings. Such risqué subject matter and offbeat points of view in Le Docteur Lerne-continually oscillating as it does between the vicarious and voyeuristic-make it a quite original sf text and one that foreshadows other erotic science-fiction works by writers like Philip José Farmer Robert Silverberg and Kate Wilhelm published over a half century later. Of course if one were to judge Renard's Le Docteur Lerne from its only-available English translation New Bodies for Old one would never have the opportunity to read such passages. They are not there. In fact this translation seems to aptly exemplify the marketplace strategy known as "bait-and-switch." On its intentionally provocative dust jacket after the title "Maurice Renard's Startling Novel New Bodies for Old or The Strange Experiments of Dr. Lerne" the publisher chooses to quote the most enticingly suggestive portions of the author's dedication to Wells: "When Fortune.allowed me to discover the subject of this allegorical novel I felt bound not to set it aside because of a few audacities which a faithful rendering involved. Far from desiring to arouse.instinct in my reader and amuse him with scandalous descriptions my work is addressed to the philosopher." But when one then reads the actual narrative one discovers that all such "audacities" and "scandalous descriptions"-i.e. all passages of sexuality like those I have discussed-have been thoroughly and meticulously excised. Despite its cover's subtle promises of titillation the content of Renard's book has been truncated so as not to offend its anglophone audience's supposed sense of moral propriety." - by Arthur B. Evans from depauw.edu. The Macaulay Company hardcover books‎

VG Ex-art library with spine label i.d. marks on book block edges and outermost pages otherwise crisp and clean. Blue cloth black & color illus. dust jacket in mylar cover 227 pp. color and BW illus. "In the 1530s the dissolution of the monasteries in England resulted in great destruction of the built fabric of the country but also the beginning of new initiatives. In the following century former monasteries were adapted to a variety of uses in both public and private buildings: royal palaces and country houses town halls and schools almshouses and refashioned parish churches. England built no new towns but the urban environment changed rapidly to reflect the needs of both national and local government. Patrons spent sometimes wisely sometimes extravagantly in managing a balance between their own domestic projects and sponsoring civic buildings that promoted their charitable image in post-Reformation society. This transformation of the country's stock of buildings was accompanied by a new language both of word and vision. . This book shows how changes of style in architecture emerged from the practical needs of building a new society through the image-making of public and private patrons in the revolutionary century between Reformation and Civil War." dj.

‎The Vyne: A Tudor House Revealed‎

‎London: The National Trust 2003. Softcover. VG Page edges are tanning lightly otherwise clean. Black & illus. wraps 160 pp. BW illus. Note: Some online sources say this book is titled "The Vyne: Discover a Great Tudor House." This is not the title that appears on the cover or the title pages which is instead "The Vyne: A Tudor House Revealed." "The Vyne a Hampshire country house in the care of the National Trust has always been a building of great interest. Much of this appeal is due to the way in which different periods of construction and furnishing interlock with each other and to the links the house has with the Tudor period and particularly with the court of Henry VIII. However until archaeological recording was carried out during 1996-8 the early Tudor house -- so crucial to the story of The Vyne -- was largely misunderstood. The extent and extraordinary character of this great house built for King Henry's Lord Chamberlain William Sandys and his wife Margery is now revealed for the first time both in the context of a great courtier's life and against the broader background of archaeology as a constantly changing technique." back cover.
