Negley 1551; Fortunati/Trousson 489f. <br><br>Paul et Virginie or Paul and Virginia is a novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre first published in 1788. The novel's title characters are very good friends since birth who fall in love. The story is set in the island of Mauritius under French rule then named Ile de France which the author had visited. Written on the eve of the French Revolution the novel is hailed as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the false artificial sentimentality that prevailed at the time among the upper classes of France. <br><br> Saint-Pierre attacked the issues of divided social classes present in eighteenth century French society. In Paul et Virginie Saint-Pierre describes perfect equality occurring on Mauritius where inhabitants share the same possessions have equal amounts of land and all work to cultivate it. They live in harmony without violence or unrest. These beliefs of Saint-Pierre's echo those of Enlightenment philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau. <br> The book also presents an Enlightenment view of religion: that God or "Providence" had perfectly designed the world to be harmonious and pleasing.

0586<br/><br/>Saint-Pierre Bernardin de 1737-1814; Pastor Juan Francisco translator and adaptor. Pablo y Virginia drama pastoral en tres actos. Madrid: Libreria de Quiroga ca. 1800. The first dramatic version in Spain of the novel Paul et Virginie 1787 by Saint-Pierre. Quarto. Unbound uncut stitched as issued.40pp. Slight soiling. Cloth folding protective box. <br/> <br/>In the original picturesque and romantic novel two fatherless children are brought up in innocence and poverty far from society on lle de France Mauritius. Virginie dies in a shipwreck refusing to disrobe as this would require her to swim naked in the presence of a sailor who could rescue her. "Although excessively sentimental this little work contains many charming passages especially the descriptions in which Rousseau's influence can be seen of an idyllic life and strange surroundings. It had an immense vogue was translated into many languages and still retains its popular fame. Bonaparte considered it the language of the souls and he pensioned and decorated the author" Oxford/French. <br/> <br/>In Pastor's dramatic version there is a happy ending in keeping with the demands of the Madrid theatre audience and in keeping with turn-of-the 18th century sentimentality which was replacing romanticism. The lasting importance of the Pastor version is due to its anti-slavery content. The character of the blackman Zavi laments ".tristemente nos condena á la esclavitud" clearly articulates a desire for equality of all races. <br/> <br/>This early example of abolitionist doctrine the slave trade was outlawed in Britain in 1803 and in Spain in 1817 reflects Spain's long role as the major exporter of slaves to the New World. This gradually came to an end due to British abolitionist pressure and the rise of an educated Spanish middle class a class that grew involved in social causes presented through the church the coffee houses and occasionally as here the theatre.<br/> <br/>There are two original editions: the Pastor version priority unknown. Mardrid: Quiroga ca. 1800 in Quarto 40p as ours; and Benito Garcia 1800 in 8vo. 135p in one record and pp167-309 in another.
