Printer's device to t.p. 12mo. 17 cm x 10 cm. <br/><br/>Rousseau a "Genevan philosopher writer and composer of 18th-century Romanticism of French expression. His political philosophy influenced the French Revolution as well as the overall development of modern political sociological and educational thought." Rousseau's epistolary novel Julie ou la nouvelle Héloïse was first published 1761 … and this the first translation into English was published in the very same year. "The novel's subtitle points to the history of 'Héloïse d’Argenteuil and Peter Abelard' a medieval story of passion and Christian renunciation. The novel was put on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Although Rousseau wrote it as a novel a philosophical theory about authenticity permeates through it as he explores autonomy and authenticity as moral values. A common interpretation is that Rousseau valued the ethics of authenticity over rational moral principles as he illlustrates the principle that one should do what is imposed upon him by society only insofar as it would seem congruent with one's 'secret principles' and feelings being constituent of one's core identity. Thus unauthentic behavior would pave the way to self-destruction." Wiki. The novel was extremely popular in its day touted by some as the top 'best seller' of the century. According to Black the novel saw 14 English editions by 1800. Today the first edition somewhat uncommon on the market. Printed for R. Griffiths at the Dunciad, and T. Becket and P. A.

Title pages printed in red and black with engraved ornaments. 12 full-page engraved plates illustrating the letters. Contemporary calf red edges; clean; calf slightly scuffed. First Edition. Rousseaus epistolary novel later known as Julie or the New Héloïse was first published in 1761 by Marc-Michel Rey in Amsterdam. The novels title translated Letters from two lovers living in a small town at the foot of the Alps is a nod to the history of Héloïse dArgenteuil and Pierre Abélard a medieval story of passion and Christian renunciation. The novel was initially put on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. <br/><br/>Although Rousseau wrote it as a novel a philosophical theory about authenticity namely secret principles and feelings and being constituent of ones core identity permeated through it. Rousseau explored autonomy and authenticity as moral values and in turn created in Julie a story of temptation sin and redemption that was easily relatable. According to Historian Robert Darnton there were at least 70 editions in print before 1800. So immensely popular publishers could not print copies fast enough so they rented the book out by the day and even by the hour. The work stirred a strong emotional response from readers and had raised Rousseau to prominence as an author. Worldcat locates 6 copies of this edition in North America.
