Uncommon in jacket. Broadway translations; Variation: Broadway translations. [series]. Fiction, French. Class Descriptors: LC: PQ1805.L5; Dewey: 843.4 Responsibility: translated by H. Ashton . with an introduction. § Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne, Comtesse de La Fayette (1634-1693), more commonly known as Madame de La Fayette, was a French author and a prominent figure in the literary salons of 17th-century France. She was born in Paris on March 18, 1634, and died there on May 25, 1693. Madame de La Fayette is best known for her novel "La Princesse de Clèves" (1678), which is often considered one of the first modern psychological novels in Western literature. The novel explores themes of love, passion, duty, and social constraints, set against the backdrop of the French royal court during the reign of Henri II. The novel was groundbreaking in its depiction of the inner life of its protagonist and its focus on character development. Before "La Princesse de Clèves," Madame de La Fayette wrote other works, including "La Princesse de Montpensier" (1662) and "Zayde" (1670), both of which also dealt with themes of love and societal expectations. In addition to her literary pursuits, Madame de La Fayette was involved in the intellectual and social circles of her time, maintaining close relationships with prominent figures such as François de La Rochefoucauld, Madame de Sévigné, and Madame de Maintenon. Through her writing and her involvement in the salons, she contributed significantly to the development of French literature and the novel as a genre.

[8], 136, 129 - 271, [1 (advert)] p. Part II has caption title on K1r. 8vo: A4 B-I8 K4 2K8 I - S8. S3 missigned S2. 6-5/8" x 4-1/4" Although the book is attributed to Monsieur Segray, it has long been accepted that it is by the Comtesse de La Fayette. La Fayette holds the enviable place in history of being the author of France's first historical novel [LA PRINCESSE DE CLEVES. 1678], which is now regarded as the 'first great French novel'. Her ZAYDE, here offered, antedated this masterpiece, first appearing in 1670, under Sergrais' name, as did PRINCESSE. ZAYDE is a collection of [loosely] related tales, a la de Scudery's romance, GRAND CYRUS [1649-53], and "is in the main a study of love in its less happy aspects. [with her oeuvre] the authoress may be said to have inaugurated the French novel of character." [OCFL]. The work first appeared in English translation in 1678, here republished in a 2nd edition by Saunders, who, in a preliminary advisement ["The Bookseller to the Ladies"], exhorts the fairer sex to find favor with his offering, stating ". [given the work] had recieved her Ladiships Approbation, [believing it then] would be acceptable to all that had not read it." In other words, an early attempt at gender-targeted marketing. While not particularly uncommon in an institutional sense [at the time of cataloguing, OCLC records 10 holdings of this 1690 edition in the US], the work, in English translation, we do find it fairly uncommon in commerce, with RBH showing just one copy to auction in the last 3+ decades. Modest binding wear, with joints a bit rubbed. Second compartment with small ding. Text paper age-toned, with I3 lacking lower corner [no text affected]. A solid, and respectable, VG copy. Period mottled calf binding with gilt spine stamping. Red speckled edges. Front pastedown has the armorial bookplate of The Right Hon. the Earl of Berkshire, Lord Marshal of England anno 1720. [Henry Howard, 4th Earl of Berkshire (1686 - 1757) who was the Deputy Earl Marshal between 1718 - 1725] The Second Edition Corrected (Wing L-173).
