You complain, my dear friend, of the infrequency of my letters.ÑWhat would you have me write you except that I am well and that my affection for you never changes?ÑThose are facts that you know perfectly well, and that are so natural to my age and to the noble qualities that every one recognizes in you, that it is almost absurd to send a paltry sheet of paper a hundred leagues to say nothing more.ÑIn vain do I cudgel my brains, I know of nothing that is worth the trouble of repeating; mine is the most monotonous life imaginable and nothing happens to break the monotony. To-day leads up to to-morrow as yesterday led up to to-day; and without claiming to be a prophet, I can boldly prophesy in the morning what will happen to me in the afternoon. This is how I arrange my day:ÑI rise, that goes without saying, and that is the beginning of every day; I breakfast, I fence, I go out to walk, I come home, I dine, make a few calls or amuse myself reading: then I go to bed precisely as I did the day before; I go to sleep, and as my imagination is not excited by unfamiliar objects, it supplies me with none but threadbare, often repeated dreams, as monotonous as my actual life: all this is not very entertaining, as you see. However, I reconcile myself to this existence better than I should have done six months ago.ÑI am bored, to be sure, but in a tranquil, resigned fashion, which does not lack a certain agreeableness, which might well be compared to those gray, mild autumn days in which one finds a secret charm after the excessive heat of summer. This sort of existence, although I have apparently accepted it, is hardly suited to me, however, or, at all events, it bears but little resemblance to the existence I dream of and consider myself well adapted for.ÑPerhaps I am mistaken and am in reality adapted for no other kind of life than this; but I can hardly believe it, for, if it were my real destiny, I should more readily have adapted myself to it and should not be so painfully bruised by its sharp corners in so many places.

Theophile Gautier's masterpiece Mademoiselle de Maupin might be better known for its lengthy preface than the actual novel itself. It is there in which the author discusses art for art's sake, arguing that everything useful is ugly. The novel itself is a historical romance based on the life of French opera star Julie d'Aubigny, better known as Mademoiselle Maupin. The subject of gossip and many colorful stories during her time, Mademoiselle Maupin was known as a first-rate swordswoman who often disguised herself as a man. In Mademoiselle de Maupin we find a love triangle between Chevalier d'Albert, a young French Gentleman who struggles with finding a woman that meets his idealistic expectations, Rosette whom he engages in an affair with to ease his boredom, and the dashing young Theodore, who is actually Maupin disguised as a man. Mademoiselle de Maupin is an excellent example of the French historical romance which in its time was considered somewhat controversial for its sexually orientated themes; by today's standards however it would be considered quite tame.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Theophile Gautier, Vol. 1: Mademoiselle De Maupin, Parts I and II Mademoiselle de Maupin, which called out, on its appearance, a storm of mingled reprobation and admira tion, provoked then mainly by the Preface, later by the story itself, and the echoes of which have not altogether died out in our day. In those debonair times, when Realists and Naturalists had not yet appeared upon the scene and served up slices of life to a public whose vitiated taste refuses all but the gamiest and most highly seasoned works of an epoch of decadence, the book was looked upon as a shameless exposition of sensuality by some, as a masterpiece of art and audacity by others. The brilliant Preface, with its virulently sarcastic attacks upon critics and the old-maidish prudery of the bourgeois, was, however, the chief offence, the story itself attracting little attention outside the sacred circle.
