Lot description
Prosper Mérimée (French, 1803–1870) The Writings of Prosper Mérimée, Complete in Eight Volumes London, 1905 Eight volumes, octavo, bound in uniform dark green morocco, gilt-tooled spines with floral motifs, titles and dates in gilt, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt. A finely produced English-language edition of the principal literary works of Prosper Mérimée, comprising his novels, tales, and the celebrated Letters to an Unknown, together with an extended critical essay on the author’s genius and achievement by George Saintsbury. The set reflects the early twentieth-century taste for authoritative collected editions of major European authors, combining scholarly content with elegant decorative bindings. Mérimée’s influence on nineteenth-century literature is underscored by works such as Carmen, which inspired Bizet’s opera and secured his lasting cultural legacy. Light wear to bindings consistent with age and handling, but overall a handsome and cohesive set. Have a similar item to sell?
