[Childhood Manuscript Facsimiles] Bonaparte, Marie; Proctor-Gregg, Nancy (Translator) Five Copy-Books [of Princess Marie Bonaparte] Imago, 1950. Complete in five volumes in flexible black wrappers. Includes publishers blue-green cloth slipcase with gilt titles. A collection of the childhood notebooks of Princess Marie Bonaparte in facsimile, providing a glimpse into the childhood of a girl of the 19th century. Bonaparte was most well-known as the great grand-niece of Emperor Napoleon I, as the benefactor of Sigmund Freud (she paid his ransom to Nazi Germany), and as a scholar on the subject of female sexuality. She also published a critical biography of Edgar Allan Poe. Bonapartes discovery of these enigmatic childhood writings and drawings among the papers of her father, Roland Bonaparte, after his death in 1924 prompted her to seek an analysis with Freud. For several years thereafter, beginning in the autumn of 1925, Bonaparte, now in her forties, traveled to Vienna for the analysis, each time staying several months (1952a, 3:313). She found in Freud what she desperately neededa new father to love and serve. He was superior to Roland Bonaparte in two significant respects: he accepted her intellectual aspirations, and he took seriously the ideas that disturbed her life. During the analysis Bonaparte shared her copy-books with Freud, and following it began writing psychoanalytic commentaries on them. Simultaneously she wrote a series of essays on female sexuality that were deeply influenced by her study of her childhood copy-books. (American Imago, Vol. 60, No. 3, Fall 2003) Near fine. An exceptional set. Slipcase rubbed, wrappers and interiors in excellent condition. $325
