1911rif. 49956London: Eveleigh Nash 1911. First printing. Very good. First edition of this gender-transition tale of body-switching imposed upon a young woman by a ghoulish medical man. The novel's experimental exchange of souls undertaken to prove the "independent existence of the Ego" can "only take place between two persons of opposite sexes" transporting the Victorian comedy trope started by Anstey's VICE VERSA into the realm of gender terror and the uncanny. AN EXCHANGE OF SOULS is both more serious and more scientific than its 1903 predecessor Richardson's THE BAYSWATER MIRACLE in which a man and woman temporarily switch bodies and the latter has a wonderful time with her new trousers and mustaches. Comic fantasy welcomes change of sex as a jolly adventure and a learning experience if a temporary one while scientific horror overwhelmed with panicked emotion runs screaming from the very thought. Yet this novel's approach to the theme luxuriates in the horror of a fine male mind struggling to think with the sluggish and inferior "cortex" of the unfortunate Alice Lade whose "plastic and receptive" nature was vulnerable to the "dominant force" of his Ego. Alice's partial survival - the lingering presence of her own soul and the consequent merging of two natures - is itself another source of ineffable horror to the narrator. "It is said that there is no place for me neither in this world nor elsewhere." 7.5'' x 4.75''. Original gilt-stamped green cloth with pictorial paste-on. 256 pages. Early ink owner stamp with evidence of bookplate removal to front pastedown. Faint rubbing and soil to boards bumping to extremities gilt on spine tarnished. Spotting to text block edges. Strong hinges. Eveleigh Nash unknown

Paris, Mercure de France, 28 mai 1964. In-8, broché, couverture rempliée, non coupé, 217 pp. Edition originale posthume. Un des 75 exemplaires numérotés sur vélin pur fil Johannot, réservé au Club de l'Edition Originale (deuxième papier avec 30 ex sur vélin de Madagascar et 125 autres pur fil). " Passe-temps 1 a été publié en 1929. En septembre 1941, pressé par Gaston Gallimard qui désirait publier une et même des oeuvres de Léautaud, celui-ci forma le projet d'un second Passe-temps établi sur le même plan et de la même façon que le premier. Il en établit assez vite la composition, mais après y rêva si longtemps que ce projet ne fut jamais réalisé. Après la mort de Léautaud, j'ai trouvé, parmi de nombreux papiers épars dans sa maison, un dossier portant le titre de Passe-temps II, dans lequel étaient rassemblés des textes devant composer ce nouveau volume. Sur la couverture, une liste : Marcel Schwob, Le Stendhal-Club, Fagus, Petites notes sur Alfred Valette, Fantaisies, Amour.... Mots, Propos et Anecdotes, Lettres à divers. Cette liste était établie depuis si longtemps que la plupart des textes avaient été publiés dans le Journal Littéraire - dont ils avaient été extraits, - soit dans les Propos d'un jour. Le dossier de Passe-temps II comportait d'autres textes que nous avons joints à ceux indiqués par Léautaud lui-même et restés inédits....etc. Marie Dormoy" (préface). " BEL EXEMPLAIRE A L'ETAT NEUF.
