Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925)
is actually not a author/poet whose books are on the
obligatory studying listing of French colleges. Nonetheless, he was and continues to be very
common and his novel ‘Aphrodite – Mœurs antiques’,
printed in 1896 (1), is repeatedly re-edited, translated and illustrated by
a lot of French and international artists. The current submit of this sequence,
impressed by ‘Artwork Worlds’ (2), develops the quantitative method (first goal of this weblog !) of a
pattern of editions with 1° a Google
Album of collected pictures
(Fig.1); 2° a histogram of the
frequencies of 106 editions from
1896 to 2016 (Fig.2); and three° a listing
of 58 recognized illustrators (Desk 1).

The Google Album
(Fig.1) provides a visible expression in chronological order of the limitless re-editions
of the novel in a large number of languages throughout 120 years. It’s a pattern of a heterogeneous
assortment of pictures of 1° title pages, generally with a
frontispiece on the left facet if illustrated, and 2° book-covers, principally illustrated with vibrant designs. The data
of every picture within the Album (click on proper
icon i) tells particulars concerning the publication as discovered in numerous sources,
primarily web-sources. If the version is illustrated, the identify of the recognized ARTIST is at all times written in capital letters in
the data. In lots of instances, the illustrator shouldn’t be recognized as a result of
publishers or editors usually fail to confer with them and librarians or
book-sellers don’t care concerning the ‘Artwork Worlds’, as has been demonstrated
on this sequence of posts. Editions of collected works of Pierre Louÿs haven’t been
included, nor the quite a few e-Books now accessible on the internet (3).
Little question, this assortment is way from exhaustive and, though
the pattern of French editions might be consultant, the pattern of
editions in different languages is actually not (3).

the Google Album has been analysed quantitatively in a histogram of the
frequencies per decade (Fig.2). The whole variety of 106 editions (48 in French
and 58 translated in different languages) present a so-called multimodal distribution with a number of peaks above each the
arithmetic imply (AM = 8,8) or the median (M = 6,5), classical measures in
statistics. Nevertheless, the pattern of French editions individually present clearly a bimodal distribution with two peaks:
one in decade 1925-34 and one in decade 1945-54.

Accordingly, a histogram with a time interval of 25 years
would present a unimodal distribution
with one peak in interval 1920-54, thus 1 / 4 of a century after the primary
version.
The histogram demonstrates additionally that the novel has been
translated very quickly following the unique version in 1896 and all through all
following many years. It’s unmistaken nonetheless very talked-about on the worldwide
degree.

The novel has been enormously promoted by illustrated – usually
luxurious – editions. Our assortment comprises 58
editions with recognized illustrators. Desk 1 lists in alphabetical order 43 illustrators, of whom 9 labored along with 15 collaborators, principally engravers.
The primary illustrator was Antoine CALBET, printed by Borel already in 1896, and eight occasions later
by different publishers, additionally in Catalan and German translations. The early
illustrator Eduard ZIER was
printed first in 1897 and within the first English translation of 1906.
Curiously, Pierre Louÿs authorised in 1897 a sequence of
illustrations by Albert LAURENS,
printed individually with out the textual content, by Pierre Duffau. They have been solely in 1965
re-edited with the textual content. One other
explicit version is entitled ‘Chrysis’,
illustrated by Louis ICART in 1940.
The totally different title disguises the truth that this very small version of 147
copies counts solely 28 pages.
The American Clara
TICE (1888-1973), lively in New York and referred to as ‘The Queen of Greenwich Village’,
is among the six women-illustrators on this listing. She illustrated different works
for a mysterious Pierre Louÿs Society, apparently
solely briefly lively in 1927-28 (4).

1890 onwards due to his fondness for classical Greek tradition, was buddy
with André Gide, Oscar Wilde and different nice writers. He was named Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur in 1909
for his contribution to French literature, and promoted to Officier de la Légion d’honneur in 1922. He left at his dying an
huge archive of manuscripts which have been dispersed at auctions or as presents or
by theft. Till recently, many works are being printed posthumously.
His sequence of poems ‘Les Chansons
de Bilitis’ of 1894 was his first sensational work, not the least as a result of
he claimed to be solely the translator of the Greek poetess Bilitis, modern of Sappho.
The composer Claude Debussy made profitable musical variations of some poems
and he additionally meant to compose an opera based mostly on Louÿs’s first novel ‘Aphrodite
– Mœurs antiques’ (1896), the best-selling work of a dwelling French author.
The second and third novels ‘La Femme et
le Pantin’ (1898) and ‘Les Aventures
du roi Pausole’ have been once more nice success, quickly translated in different
languages.
