YOURCENAR Marguerite (Marguerite de Crayencour, known as) [B - Lot 154

YOURCENAR Marguerite (Marguerite de Crayencour, known as) [Brussels, 1903 - île des Monts-Déserts, 1987], French novelist and essayist. Autograph letter signed [addressed to the historian Léon Homo]. February 2, 1952; 2 pages in-8° on letterhead of the Hotel Saint James in Paris. "In rereading the bibliographical note of my book (whose last revision I had entrusted to a secretary of the house Plon) I realize, not without dismay, that an error that I had pointed out was not rectified and that your name continued to be preceded by a first name which is not yours. I hope to repair this error in a second edition, but I am all the more sorry for it as your work is one of the ones I have worked on the most. At least I take this opportunity to express my admiration for the monumental perspectives of Imperial Rome. I owe you a lot".
