HERSILIE ROUY (Miss): Memoirs of a lunatic, published by E. - Lot 197
HERSILIE ROUY (Miss): Memoirs of a lunatic, published by E. Le Normant des Varannes. Ollendorff, 1883. In-12 bradel of half red cloth of the period (spine a little faded, slight foxing). First edition. Portrait in frontispiece and two folding plans. "The Memoirs of an insane woman were published in 1883 in the wake of a lively polemic in which their author, Hersilie Rouy, had written them in order to denounce her internment considered by her as arbitrary. Laurent Soulayrol has conducted a long research in order to extract them and to propose, from different writings of the members of her family, an analysis of her testimony and of the generational problematic, in order to gather a teaching on the family paranoid structures." (Les mémoires d'une aliénée d'Hersilie Rouy; vers de nouvelles perspectives Soulayrol Laurent L'harmattan Etudes Psychanalytiques 11 September 2015). Rare work. Good copy.
