Book description
Ronald Firbank published his first book, Odette d’Antrevernes and A Study in Temperament (1905), when he was only nineteen. To ensure its issuance, he defrayed the cost of the printing. Nevertheless, few of his friends or critics read the book, and it remains a wallflower (until I checked it out, our library’s copy had not circulated in the last 100 years). This thin book consists of a pair of very short stories, altogether juvenilia, that draw heavily on Oscar Wilde’s much more entertaining tales but lack their wit and artistry.Odette d’Antrevernes: A Fairy Tale for Weary People tells a gushingly sentimental story of a young girl who yearns to see the Holy Virgin. As in his later novels, Firbank’s language here too is heavily overlaid with airy descriptions of sunsets, roses, gardens, lace, and tapestry. But in this story, the details lack wit and quickly become cloying: ‘the birds in the trees called drowsily to one another, and the white daisies by the river side opened their yellow eyes and curtsied to the rising sun.’ And the heroine, Odette, who speaks in a baby voice and loves to ‘listen to the birds murmuring “good night” to one another’, is far too sweet and callow to be interesting. It’s all charmingly innocent and moral, but it’s not very entertaining, mostly because it lacks the satiric bite and playful absurdity that flavours Firbank’s more successful books.A Study in Temperament is just that ... a rather bald character sketch unencumbered by a plot or even an engaging title. Lady Charters – the temperament under study – leads a life of opulent boredom. Her most difficult endeavours amount to deciding whether to leave her husband or to dye her hair red, very slowly. To Firbank’s credit, the repartee in this drawing room satire hints at good things to come, and the names – Lobelia, Hester Q. Tail, Lord Sevenoaks – show a bit of creative playfulness. But for the most part, this is a trying meditation on ennui, a very slight social satire that lacks punch and offers only the vaguest intimation of the twisted wit that will become the hallmark of Firbank’s mature style.These two tales are probably only for Firbank completists.
