È un piacere

Ogni licenza piace quando si sperimenta per la prima volta, perché sorprende e perché tra le sensazioni che ci procurano le opere letterarie, nessuna più della sorpresa è prossima al piacere.

C. Nodier, [Questions de littérature légale,...., 1812], Crimini letterari, Palermo, :duepunti edizioni, 2010 [Trad. A. L. Carbone]

Dumas’ reputation as an epicure must have been formed early; he describes in his “Mémoires” how, on a certain occasion, when he had first become installed in Paris, he met a gentleman, Charles Nodier, in the stalls of the Porte St. Martin, who was reading a well-worn Elzevir entitled “La Pastissier Française.” He says, “I address him…. ‘Pardon my impertinence, but are you very fond of eggs?’ ‘Why so?’ ‘That book you are reading, does it not give recipes for cooking eggs in sixty different ways?’ ‘It does.’ ‘If I could but procure a copy.’ ‘But this is an Elzevir,’ says my neighbour.

Does anyone know where a copy of Charles Nodier's play Le Vampire can be found online in English?

The reference post I was using links to a now defunct website, and the Wayback Machine did not help to retrieve it from said site.

I have access to the play in French and I can run the whole thing through Google Translate, but I'd rather not read it that way if possible.

I just finished reading The Vampyr by Charles Nodier, the sequel to the short story by Polidori and also “the first vampire novel.” And well… I understand why it’s Stoker’s Dracula that’s considered the most important.

It’s a read I could have easily done without…

Seriously, throughout the entire novel, I just read about men telling each other stories of women with tragic fates, wondering when the vampire would show up to do something…

And the only thing he does is die at the end…

“Bûcheron invétéré dans l’immense forêt de mots, né à Paris, en 1967, ayant poursuivi des études de lettres, en son temps, ayant exercé durant un long moment, me suis évadé des obligations et vis de quelques rêves, le présent de la nature suffisant.” Basile Nodier “Stances d’un verbe poétique et humour débridé ” ainsi Basile Nodier titre-il son blog…Il suffit d’aller s’y promener pour en revenir…

Hugo's Memoirs, an intro to Shakespeare I

Young Hugo, you wild man about town:

In the evening the Duke of Northumberland gave a ball. It was a magnificent, fairylike spectacle. This Arabian Nights ambassador brought one of these nights to Rheims. Every woman found a diamond in her bouquet.

I could not dance. Nodier had not danced since he was sixteen years of age, when a great aunt went into ecstasies over his terpsichorean efforts and congratulated him in the following terms: “Tu est charmant, tu danses comme rim chou!” We did not go to Lord Northumberland’s ball.

“What shall we do tonight?” said I to Nodier. He held up his odd volume and answered:

“Let us read this.”

We read.

I read "The Vampire" by Charles Nodier, or at least Google Translate's best attempt at it.

This is a play based on Polidori's "The Vampyre," which was later adapted into "The Vampire, or the Bride of the Isles" by J.R. Planché. The plays are nearly identical, though Nodier's version has a few extra moments that don't really contribute anything to the plot.

While Planché's play has Ariel, the Spirit of the Air, and Unda, the Spirit of the Flood, Nodier's has Oscar, the "genius of weddings" and Ituriel, the Angel of the Moon. Our heroine is now Malvina instead of Margaret, who lives with her brother, Sir Aubray, instead of her father Lord Ronald. Roger is Edgar and Effie is Lovette. And the vampire is Lord Rutwen.

The only difference between the plays, really, is that Oscar does not just give Malvina a vision of the vampire. He also tries to warn Effie away from Rutwen through song, and tells Malvina's maid to get her away from Rutwen, which she does not do.

The vampire's powers are identical between versions.
