VERLAINE (Paul). - Lot 283
VERLAINE (Paul). Born in Metz (Moselle). 1844-1896. French writer and poet. L.A.S. "P. Verlaine" to publisher Albert Savine. Paris, November 10, 1888.1 p. small in-12. ...I was so ill yesterday and today that it was impossible for me to go to your house, which I hope to be able to do in two or three days at the latest, provided I have what I need...In 1888, Verlaine wanted to change publisher. Huysmans and Bloy recommended Albert Savine (1859-1927) as the successor to Léon Vanier. A contract was signed with Savine on September 15, 1888, for the publication of Bonheur and Histoires comme ça. Eventually, having fallen out with his new publisher because of Cazals' alleged collaboration on Histoires comme ça, Verlaine returned in shame to his faithful Vanier, with whom he was reconciled, thus closing the "Savine episode" once and for all.
