London: Vizetelly & Co.,, 1886. A lovely copy in the original cloth First edition in English of Flaubert's masterpiece, in the attractively decorated cloth, one of the most notable books in the sequence of English translations of French and Russian novels published by Henry Vizetelly in this decade. The translator was Karl Marx's daughter, Eleanor, then living openly with Edward Bibbens Aveling, a married man whose name she used in conjunction with her own. First published in the magazine La Revue de Paris in 1856, Madame Bovary was immediately sued for "outrage aux bonnes moeurs" ("affront to public decency"). Flaubert appeared before the court on 7 February 1857, but was found not not guilty and publication resumed. The ensuing publicity also ensured that upon publication the book became a bestseller. The heroine of the novel, Emma Bovary, ultimately commits suicide by swallowing arsenic - a fate which also befell her translator, Eleanor Marx-Aveling. Madame Bovary is now acknowledged as one of the greatest novels in the Western canon. The publisher, Henry Richard Vizetelly (1820–1894), specialised in translations of French and Russian novels: "Many of them affronted Victorian notions of propriety... It was above all his publication, between 1884 and 1888, of translations of seventeen novels by Emile Zola that brought him notoriety for the first time in his life and turned him into a reluctant martyr, one of the early heroes of the fight against oppressive literary censorship" (ODNB). Octavo.
