University Park. 1968. Pennsylvania State University Press. 1st American Edition of This Translation. Previous Owner’s Bookplate in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. Translated from the French and Abridged by Judith H. McDowell. 421 pages. hardcover. keywords: Europe France Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - This landmark of the romantic movement not only greatly influenced the taste and morality of the eighteenth century reading public, but was also one of the most seminal and widely read literary works of its day. Rousseau's effusively sentimental hero, Saint-Preux. had literary repercussions of great importance: he was the spiritual parent of Goethe's Werther, Chateaubriand's Rene, Byron's Manfred, and countless other romantic fictions. Seventy-two editions in French appeared between 1761, the year of publication of La Nouvelle Heloise. and 1800. With the exception of a few works by Voltaire, Le Sage, and Prevost, no Other French fiction up to the time of Rousseau's death had even one-tenth this much publication. Even though Voltaire called the success of the novel one of the infamies of the century, it won for Rousseau a place beside the author of Candide as a director of European thought. The plot of the novel is one familiar to all literatures: that of a fallen and regenerated woman. The first three parts are devoted to the celebration of the passionate, mutual love of Saint-Preux and Julie; the last three praise Julie's return to virtue as a faithful wife and dedicated mother. This novel is of inestimable value to the study of the romantic period, the literature of the eighteenth century, and the history of ideas. Every age must re-interpret for itself the works of the past. The only previous English translation - written for the eighteenth century reading public and absurdly stilted and inaccurate - was published in 1761 and is almost unobtainable. Professor McDowell's new translation of La Nouvelle Heloise is precise but natural, and conveys to the reader the distinctive flavor of Rousseau 's style. La Nouvelle Heloise has also been abridged for the modern reader - from 315,000 words to 180,000. Abridgement is eminently justified, for the author continually interrupted the flow of the plot with repetitious digressions. Most such departures have only a tenuous connection with the plot and have been omitted, since they can be found in almost exactly the same form in the Confessions, Emile, the Discourses, and the Social Contract, all readily available in good modern translations. inventory #42290 Previous Owner’s Bookplate in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.…
