HUGO Victor (1802 - 1885) CORRECTED DRAFT with autograph dispatch signed "Victor Hugo", La Voix de Guernesey, November 1867|
49 x 15.5 cm.
Precious proof sheet of the poem La Voix de Guernesey, dated "Hauteville House, November 1867", with four autograph corrections (concerning punctuation) and an autograph mailing signed on the back: "A M. Jules Lermina, ex imo corde Victor Hugo".
The poem was inspired by Garibaldi's defeat at Mentana, for which Hugo blames Napoleon.
Hugo places the blame on Napoleon III| it ends with a call for the people to awaken: "O people, black sleeper, when will you awaken?
500 copies of this poem were printed as a booklet in Guernsey| only one hundred copies like this one (called "proofs" by Hugo) were printed to serve as models for the Brussels newspapers that wished to publish this great, committed text.
This copy is enriched with a fine autograph letter to Jules
LERMINA (1839-1915), who began his career as a journalist with the socialists in 1859. It was as an opponent of Napoleon III that Victor Hugo supported him in the face of the regime, which sentenced him to prison several times.
Corsaire, he had just served a political prison sentence in the autumn of 1867. Not surprisingly, the poet personally sent the journalist, who was also committed to Garibaldi's cause, a copy of La Voix de Guernesey, a poem that was not to appear in France until 1875, in Actes et Paroles II, under the title Mentelle de Guernesey.
Paroles II, under the title Mentana, with major cuts (in the particularly anticlerical passages).
