With Zola In England is a non-fiction book written by Ernest Alfred Vizetelly, originally published in 1899. The book provides an account of Vizetelly's experiences as a translator and publisher of the works of French author Emile Zola in England during the late 19th century.Vizetelly's work on Zola's novels, including the controversial and banned Nana and Germinal, brought him into conflict with British authorities and moral crusaders who deemed the content of the books to be obscene and immoral. Vizetelly himself was prosecuted and imprisoned for his role in publishing these works.The book provides a fascinating insight into the cultural and political climate of late Victorian England, as well as the challenges faced by those who sought to challenge prevailing attitudes towards literature and censorship. It also offers a glimpse into the life and work of one of France's most celebrated authors, as well as the complex relationships between translators, publishers, and authors.Overall, With Zola In England is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the history of literature, censorship, and cultural exchange between France and England.Most people are by this time aware that M. Zola's gospel is work. In diligent study and composition he finds some measure of solace for every trouble. At times it is hard for him to take up the pen, but he forces himself to do so, and an hour later he has largely banished sorrow and anxiety, and at times has even dulled physical pain. He himself, heavy hearted as he was when the first novelty of his strolls around Oatlands had worn off, felt that he must have something to do, and was therefore well pleased at the prospect of receiving the materials for his new book, 'Fecondite.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
