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.
