Chez Les Marchands de nouveautés Paris 1821 - 1825 9.50 x 15.80 cm 2 volumes reliés First edition of these 3 works bound in 2 volumes. Following the Trial of messieurs de Béranger and Baudouin 14 manuscript songs retained by the prosecutor general against Béranger and censored. One understands the interest of this copy since the song collection was sold out or seized. Contemporary full straight-grained green morocco binding. Luxury binding from a major atelier but unsigned. Smooth spine decorated with a blind stamp with floral semé within a double gilt fillet frame. Boards decorated with multiple blind frames doubled with gilt fillets. Gilt edges. Triple gilt interior fillet. Spines uniformly faded. Small dark areas on the boards of one volume. Traces of rubbing. Scattered pale yellow foxing. Very handsome copies. Two days after the publication of the author's song collection published at his own expense the king's prosecutor for the Seine department filed a complaint against the chansonnier and ordered the seizure of the work the police only managed to seize 500 copies since 10000 had sold in a few days. He faced four charges: offense to morals attack on religious morality offense against the person of the king and incitement to wear a rallying sign unauthorized by the king the tricolor flag. He was condemned to a minimal sentence of three months in prison and a 500 F fine essentially for his attacks against the Capuchins and missionaries. Meanwhile his lawyer Dupin provoked a second trial by publishing his plea accompanied by the text of the incriminated songs as procedural documents. Béranger was a convinced republican and his songs became increasingly virulent under Louis XVIII. After the episode of his trial where all of Paris rushed to attend he became under Charles X an important figure of the liberal camp. An engaged author and today forgotten the chansonnier Béranger enjoyed immense celebrity but posterity has identified him with the acerbic criticisms of Flaubert and Baudelaire as a minor and bourgeois author unjustly revered. The history of his trial well before those of Baudelaire and Flaubert reveals the greater complexity of the author and stages the history of censorship under the Restoration.

Chansons Tome I-II all Chansons Nouvelles.

1821réf. 31265Paris Didot 1821 Paris Plassan 1825. 8vo. Bound uncut in one nice cont. red hcalf with gilt back. Bdg. w. a few traces of use. Some brownspotting. Printed on good paper. Woodcut vignettes to all three title-pages and several text-vignettes in the last work. First editions of both parts of Beranger's "Chansons". Béranger's famous and influential song appeared in five parts in all beginning with the "Chansons morales et autres" in 1816. The two present collections constitute part two and three. The first part from 1816 is extremely scarce but this second part merely called "Chansons" is probably the most interesting and noteworthy off all the song-collections as well as being the most comprehensive. "Une édition plus complète parut en 1821 2 vol. in 18 Paris Firmin Didot. Cette édition résultant d´une souscription patronnée par le banquier Laffitte et A.-S. L- Bérard fut tirée à 10000 exemplaires; elle fut pursuivie et l´auteur quoique habilement défendu par M. Dupin l´aîné fut condamné á trois mois de prison et á 500 fr. d´amende." Brunet 1 pp. 781. The author was prosecuted and condemned to imprisonment for three monts because of the appearance of this edition. The two last parts "Chansons inédites" and "Chansons nouvelles et dernières" appeared in 1828 and 1833. These two collections contain some of the most important of Béranger's songs among these the influential Napoleonic ones. His songs develloped from being joyous odes into strong satirical and political songs; -"le gouvernement clérical et rétrograde de la Restauration fut particulièrement visé avec une verve mordante et caractéristique. C'est pour cela peut-être qu'il est un des plus grands créateurs de la légende napoléonienne car il oppose l'époque glorieuse de l'Empire à la mesquinerie qui lui succéda." Lafont-Bompiani I:368. His obvoiusly satirical tone partly explains his great political influence at the time -he is a master of portraying the Bourbon government clericalism the old reactionary nobility and as a contrast the glorious souvenirs of Napoleon. "Voltairienne sentimentale mais frivole politique et satirique mais avec simplicité évitant toute complication de doctrine et toute morale tragique la poésie de Béranger est la représentation typique de cette première partie du XIXe siècle où la société est encore imbue des moeurs et des idées du XVIIIe et où le romantisme a peine à effacer complètement les formes littéraires et l'esprit de l'ancien régime." Bompiani I pp. 368.Carteret I:134. unknown
