Le Mercure du XIXe, Paris, au bureau du Mercure et P. Mongie - Lot 112
Le Mercure du XIXe, Paris, au bureau du Mercure et P. Mongie, 1825-1827. 6 vol. in-8, blond half calf, spine decorated with lyre irons - Two small gaps in the leather, a few corners pierced, stain on the upper cover of the first volume - Despite the continuous tomaison from 1 to 6 on the spines, the collection does not follow each other. It includes volumes 9, 10, 11, (of 1825), 16, 17 and 18 of 1827 - 624; 624; 624; 624; 622 pp. - Le Mercure du dix-neuvième, a literary press review was founded on April 12, 1823 and appeared until 1832. Henri de Latouche (1785-1851), its editor, tried to revive the Mercure de France, which ceased publication in 1824. He represented at the beginning the liberal faction of romanticism represented by the prose writers. Notable for having published poets and authors of the beginning of the XIX° century, one finds there however opponents of the romanticism such Etienne-Pivert de Senancour (1770-1846) who will be reconciled with this movement. In addition to the publication of poetry, Le Mercure reviews and criticizes recent publications in most fields (history, geography, science, literature), as well as Parisian shows (vaudeville, melodrama, opera and comic opera). In spite of this, the choices of the magazine remain very conventional and reflect well the taste of the contemporaries, but miss the glories that the posterity retained. Apart from Chateaubriant, Rossini or Meyerbeer, the authors quoted or listed have fallen into obscurity.
