Catalogue Note
Manuscrit autographe complet, corrigé et annoté, d'une des principales oeuvres d'Abel Hermant : Le Cycle de Lord Chelsea.
Cette biographie fictive d'Oscar Wilde nous conte l'histoire de l'honorable Lord Chelsea aux moeurs inadaptées qui est mis au ban de la respectable Société anglaise du début du siècle.
En filigrane, à travers ce portrait sévère d'une société conservatrice, thème cher à Hermant, et derrière le personnage de Lord Dolmancé, l'auteur nous livre quelques indices sur sa propre vie et donne une tournure plus autobiographique à son oeuvre.
