A French Classic. 314 Sysnopsis: La Princesse de Clèves , novel written by Marie-Madeleine, comtesse de La Fayette, and published anonymously in 1678. Often called France's first historical novel, the work influenced the course of French fiction. It is set during the 16th-century reign of Henry IIand is the story of a virtuous young wife, the title character, who suppresses her passion for a young nobleman. With this simple story told in dignified, unsentimental prose, La Fayette launched the novel of character; much more than a story of thwarted love, it is an intimatepsychological portrait. Many 18th- and 19th-century writers used the novel as a model; in its depiction of the princess's move from the sheltered world of her family to the world of intrigue and politics in the court, it is the prototype of the bildungsroman. 314, Le Livre de Poche, 1958, 2.5<
