ExtraitUNE VIEILLE MAÎTRESSE

Quand on est très bien élevée, on a une petite obéissance dont le silence est presque romain. C’est l’avantage des filles comme il faut sur les filles qui ne le sont pas. Les enfants trop aimés des bourgeois murmurent toujours. D’ailleurs, Hermangarde était digne de son nom carlovingien. Elle était fière ; fière et tendre, combinaison funeste ! Les grandes choses manquant à leur vie, les jeunes filles ne peuvent marquer leur fierté que dans les détails. Hermangarde ne demanda donc point qu’on eût pitié d’une attente trompée en lui permettant de la prolonger. Si sa grand’mère avait été seule, peut-être aurait-elle insisté ; mais Mme d’Artelles était là. Elle ramassa lentement sa tapisserie, la plia plus lentement encore, sonna sa femme de chambre d’un bras paresseux. Elle gagnait du temps à être lente, mais le temps inexorable devait passer… passer en vain.
Repose en paix, ma pauvre fille ; tu as pour toute ressource de le bien bouder demain...

Une vieille maîtresse French Edition edition by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly Literature Fiction eBooks

I read this novel with pleasure and with reticence at the same time. Generally, I am as fond of the style as of the action, the story; and Barbey d'Aurevilly style is remarkably brilliant with so many poetic metaphores. He was born in Normandy and is a master when describing the Norman coast with its high chalking cliffs dazzling in the sun and severe under the grey sky. He shows us also the dandy life (that he lived himself) of the young Parisians who spill lazily their money with women and parties.
As to the action, the main part of the novel presents the disastrous effects of an unbridled passion. And here, I have to stop in order to think about it: this passion is outrageous and the author becomes extravagant. Of course, we cannot forget that we are in the middle of the XIX century when the romanticism moves toward the fantastic or changes into supernaturalism. Maybe we could call it ultra romanticism.
I was progressing in my reading without real enthusiasm , nevertheless with great interest, when I remembered suddenly other two novels published four years before. So I think that the author read them before writing his book: Prosper Mérimée's "Carmen", in France and Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights", in England, both published in 1847. "Une vieille maitresse" was published in 1851.
To fully appreciate this novel, it's important to place it in its context, its time and literary moment. Written nowadays, I doubt it would have any success.
