ACKERMANN (Louise-Victorine). Contes et Poésies. Nice, Imprimerie Caisson et Comp. 1862. In-12 of 59-[1] pp. in ff. with printed cover. Restored loss to upper corner of cover. Very rare second edition, partly original, not commercially available (Les Contes de Louise Ackermann went through four editions in 1855, 1861, 1862 and 1863, with varying degrees of modifications depending on the edition). Handwritten corrections in graphite on p. 44 and p. 54. "In the 1830s, Louise-Victorine Choquet traveled to Berlin, where she perfected her knowledge of ancient and foreign languages. She returned a few years later and met Paul Ackermann, then engaged in the publication of the works of Frederick II. The two young people soon fell in love and married in 1843. [...] But their happiness lasted less than three years. Stricken with pulmonary tuberculosis, Paul disappeared in July 1846, plunging Louise Ackermann into a "terrible misfortune". She took refuge in the Nice region, where she gradually found solace in nature, farming, reading and poetry. She thus wrote the Contes in which she offers a 'kaleidoscope of the love relationship' that marks her consolation and opens the realization of a literary vocation." "It was in May 1874, thanks to an article by Elme-Marie Caro in La Revue des deux mondes, that she achieved notoriety. The literary critic praised Poésies Philosophiques in an article entitled 'Un Poète positiviste'. Her success earned her the nickname "Muse du pessimisme" and "Sapho de l'athéisme" from Comte d'Haussonville in his 1892 monograph on her. At a time when poetic creation was in full effervescence, when Parnassian approaches were profoundly renewing it, Louise Ackermann's poems stand out by drawing their inspiration from the philosophical writings of Spinoza, Auguste Comte or the pessimist Giacomo Léopardi." Back cover and preface of Victor Flori's critical edition, Livre unique, 2011.
