Housed in a marbled slipcase.<br> <br> Commonly cited as the first French novel as opposed to picaresques and fables La Princesse de Cleves is among the most scrupulously accurate historical fictions in literature. It is also arguably the first historical novel ever written and one of the earliest novels in any language.<br> <br> "In La Princesse de Cleves will and duty triumph over passion; but the moral is melancholy - that to do one's duty does not necessarily bring happiness. Mme de la Fayette may be said to have inaugurated the French novel of character replacing the grandiloquence incredible adventures and tedious length of Mlle de Scudery's romances by proportion simplicity sincerity and an easy sober style without affectation or sentimentality" Oxford Companion to French Literature. It single-handedly launched a new fiction of the vraisembable and can thus be considered one of the earliest modern psychological novels as well.<br> <br> HBS 69537.<br> <br> $1750. Librairie L.

1719183236Paris: La Compagnie des Libraires Affociez 1719. An early edition of one of the first psychological novels concerning a married noblewoman tormented by her feelings for another man. Set in Henry II's court between 1558 and 1559 it is also one of the first historical novels. It was immediate commercial success upon its first anonymous publication in 1678 although the depiction of adulterous feelings was controversial. Novels in 17th century France typically focussed on the wide-ranging adventures of a hero which could extend over several volumes and often employed flamboyant language. Conversely the drama in La Princesse de Cleves is contained within the characters' psyches focussing on "the elements of violence and conflict in passion" especially "as opposed to the conventional love sanctioned by society" McNeill p. 25. Further the events of the novel span less than a year and La Fayette's language is "innovative in its relative simplicity and concision" McNeill p. 27. A near-contemporary female ownership inscription is found on the title page: "Honourable Mrs Boyd". This may be Jeanne Antoinette Wyandt circa 1730-1763 who married the Jacobite Charles Boyd 1728-1782 during his years of exile in France following the Battle of Culloden. 2 vols in 1 octavo 154 x 90 mm pp. 8 1-207 1; 4 1-210. Woodblock printer's devices headpieces initials and factotum initials. Early 19th-century black straight-grain calf corners retouched flat spine with red morocco label and gilt fillets and lettering gilt frames to covers edges and turn-ins gilt marbled endpapers edges gilt. Ownership inscription on front free endpaper verso: "David Baird Smith". Extremities slightly rubbed corners bumped a few minor scrapes to covers contents a little foxed: a very good copy.
