THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE

It has long been a reproach to England that only one volume by ANATOLE FRANCE has been adequately rendered into English; yet outside this country he shares with TOLSTOI the distinction of being the greatest and most daring student of humanity now living.

¶ There have been many difficulties to encounter in completing arrangements for a uniform edition, though perhaps the chief barrier to publication here has been the fact that his writings are not for babes--but for men and the mothers of men. Indeed, some of his Eastern romances are written with biblical candour. "I have sought truth strenuously," he tells us, "I have met her boldly. I have never turned from her even when she wore an unexpected aspect." Still, it is believed that the day has come for giving English versions of all his imaginative works, and of his monumental study JOAN OF ARC, which is undoubtedly the most discussed book in the world of letters to-day.

¶ MR. JOHN LANE has pleasure in announcing that he will commence publication of the works of M. ANATOLE FRANCE in English, under the general editorship of MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN, with the following volumes:

THE RED LILY
MOTHER OF PEARL
THE GARDEN OF EPICURUS
THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD
THE WELL OF ST. CLARE
THE OPINIONS OF JEROME COIGNARD
JOCASTA AND THE FAMISHED CAT
BALTHASAR
THE ASPIRATIONS OF JEAN SERVIEN
THE ELM TREE ON THE MALL
MY FRIEND'S BOOK
THE WICKER-WORK WOMAN
THAÏS
AT THE SIGN OF THE QUEEN PÉDAUQUE
JOAN OF ARC (2 vols.)

¶ All the books will be published at 6/- each with the exception of JOAN OF ARC, which will be 25/- net the two volumes, with eight Illustrations.

¶ The format of the volumes leaves little to be desired. The size is Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 in.), that of this Prospectus, and they will be printed from Caslon type upon a paper light in weight and strong in texture, with a cover design in crimson and gold, a gilt top, end-papers from designs by Aubrey Beardsley and initials by Henry Ospovat. In short, these are volumes for the bibliophile as well as the lover of fiction, and form perhaps the cheapest library edition of copyright novels ever published, for the price is only that of an ordinary novel.

¶ The translation of these books has been entrusted to such competent French scholars as MR. ALFRED ALLINSON, HON. MAURICE BARING, MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN, MR. ROBERT B. DOUGLAS, MR. A.W. EVANS, MRS. FARLEY, MRS. JOHN LANE, MRS. NEWMARCH, MR. C.E. ROCHE, MISS WINIFRED STEPHENS, and MISS M.P. WILLCOCKS.

¶ As Anatole Thibault, _dit_ Anatole France, is to most English readers merely a name, it will be well to state that he was born in 1844 in the picturesque and inspiring surroundings of an old bookshop on the Quai Voltaire, Paris, kept by his father, Monsieur Thibault, an authority on eighteenth-century history, from whom the boy caught the passion for the principles of the Revolution, while from his mother he was learning to love the ascetic ideals chronicled in the Lives of the Saints. He was schooled with the lovers of old books, missals and manuscripts; he matriculated on the Quais with the old Jewish dealers of curios and _objets d'art_; he graduated in the great university of life and experience. It will be recognised that all his work is permeated by his youthful impressions; he is, in fact, a virtuoso at large.

¶ He has written about thirty volumes of fiction. His first novel was JOCASTA & THE FAMISHED CAT (1879). THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD appeared in 1881, and had the distinction of being crowned by the French Academy, into which he was received in 1896.

¶ His work is illuminated with style, scholarship, and psychology; but its outstanding features are the lambent wit, the gay mockery, the genial irony with which he touches every subject he treats. But the wit is never malicious, the mockery never derisive, the irony never barbed. To quote from his own GARDEN OF EPICURUS: "Irony and Pity are both of good counsel; the first with her smiles makes life agreeable, the other sanctifies it to us with her tears. The Irony I invoke is no cruel deity. She mocks neither love nor beauty. She is gentle and kindly disposed. Her mirth disarms anger and it is she teaches us to laugh at rogues and fools whom but for her we might be so weak as to hate."

¶ Often he shows how divine humanity triumphs over mere ascetism, and with entire reverence; indeed, he might be described as an ascetic overflowing with humanity, just as he has been termed a "pagan, but a pagan constantly haunted by the pre-occupation of Christ." He is in turn--like his own Choulette in THE RED LILY--saintly and Rabelaisian, yet without incongruity. At all times he is the unrelenting foe of superstition and hypocrisy. Of himself he once modestly said: "You will find in my writings perfect sincerity (lying demands a talent I do not possess), much indulgence, and some natural affection for the beautiful and good."

¶ The mere extent of an author's popularity is perhaps a poor argument, yet it is significant that two books by this author are in their HUNDRED AND TENTH THOUSAND, and numbers of them well into their SEVENTIETH THOUSAND, whilst the one which a Frenchman recently described as "Monsieur France's most arid book" is in its FIFTY-EIGHTH THOUSAND.

¶ Inasmuch as M. FRANCE'S ONLY contribution to an English periodical appeared in THE YELLOW BOOK, vol. v., April 1895, together with the first important English appreciation of his work from the pen of the Hon. Maurice Baring, it is peculiarly appropriate that the English edition of his works should be issued from the Bodley Head.

STARS OF THE STAGE

A Series of Illustrated Biographies of the Leading Actors,

Crown 8vo. 2_s._ 6_d._ each net.

[Symbol: asterism] _It was Schiller who said: "Twine no wreath for the actor, since his work is oral and ephemeral." "Stars of the Stage" may in some degree remove this reproach. There are hundreds of thousands of playgoers, and both editor and publisher think it reasonable to assume that a considerable number of these would like to know something about actors, actresses, and dramatists, whose work they nightly applaud. Each volume will be carefully illustrated, and as far as text, printing, and paper are concerned will be a notable book. Great care has been taken in selecting the biographers, who in most cases have already accumulated much appropriate material._

[Symbol: asterism] _Ralph Heathcote, the son of an English father and an Alsatian mother, was for some time in the English diplomatic service as first secretary to Mr. Brook Taylor, minister at the Court of Hesse, and on one occasion found himself very near to making history. Napoleon became persuaded that Taylor was implicated in a plot to procure his assassination, and insisted on his dismissal from the Hessian Court. As Taylor refused to be dismissed, the incident at one time seemed likely to result to the Elector in the loss of his throne. Heathcote came into contact with a number of notable people, including the Miss Berrys, with whom he assures his mother he is not in love. On the whole, there is much interesting material for lovers of old letters and journals._

_Daily News._--"We have seldom met with a human document
which has interested us so much."

indomitable perseverance against opposing circumstances the
narrative of De Cartrie's escape to the Eastern frontier,
in the disguise of a master-gunner, could not easily be
surpassed."

book, vivid and pitiless in its description of the intrigue
and dare-devil spirit which flourished unchecked at the
French Court.... Mr. Richard Whiteing's introduction is
written with restraint and dignity."

_Daily Telegraph._--"It is a really fascinating story,
or series of stories, set forth in this volume.... Here
are anecdotes innumerable of the brilliant women of the
Second Empire, so that in reading the book we are not only
dazzled by the beauty and gorgeousness of everything, but
we are entertained by the record of things said and done,
and through all we are conscious of the coming 'gloom and
doom' so soon to overtake the Court. Few novels possess the
fascination of this spirited work, and many readers will
hope that the author will carry out his proposal of giving
us a further series of memories of the 'Women of the Second
Empire.'"

just one century ago, the battle which won so much but
which cost us--Nelson."

translation is excellent, and worth reading for its own
sake."

_Contemporary Review._--"The book's appeal is, of course,
primarily to the music-lover; but there is so much of human
and literary interest in it, such intimate revelation of
a singularly interesting personality, that many who have
never come under the spell of the Pathetic Symphony will
be strongly attracted by what is virtually the spiritual
autobiography of its composer. High praise is due to the
translator and editor for the literary skill with which
she has prepared the English version of this fascinating
work.... There have been few collections of letters
published within recent years that give so vivid a portrait
of the writer as that presented to us in these pages."

_The Times._--"We thank Mr. Stirling for one of the most
interesting memoirs of recent years."

_Daily Telegraph._--"A very remarkable literary
performance. Mrs. Stirling has achieved a resurrection. She

existence the life of our English ancestors of the
eighteenth century."

fact, a work which may almost be called unique."

THE DIARY OF A LADY-IN-WAITING. By LADY CHARLOTTE BURY. Being the Diary Illustrative of the Times of George the Fourth.

With numerous portraits. Two Vols. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.

[Symbol: asterism] _This book, which appeared anonymously
in 1838, created an enormous sensation, and was fiercely
criticised by Thackeray and in the Reviews of the time.
There is no doubt that it was founded on the diary of Lady
Charlotte Bury, daughter of the 5th Duke of Argyll, and
Lady-in-Waiting to the unfortunate Caroline of Brunswick,
when Princess of Wales. It deals, therefore, with the
curious Court of the latter and with the scandals that
occurred there, as well as with the strange vagaries of the
Princess abroad. In this edition names left blank in the
original have been (where possible) filled up, and many
notes are given by the Editor to render it useful to the
ever-increasing number of readers interested in the later
Georgian Period._
