Poised between the fading world of chivalric romance and a new psychological realism, Madame de Lafayette's novel of passion and self-deception marks a turning point in the history of the novel. When it first appeared - anonymously - in 1678 in the heyday of French classicism, it aroused fierce controversy among critics and readers, in particular for the extraordinary confession which forms the climax of the story. Having long been considered a classic, it is now regarded as a landmark in the history of women's writing. In this entirely new translation, The Princesse de Cleves is accompanied by two shorter works also attributed to Mme de Lafayette, The Princesse de Montpensier and The Comtesse de Tende; the Introduction and ample notes take account of the latest critical and scholarly work.

A pretty good psychological novel. A very well representation of the controversy between duty and passion. But, last three pages is still too sad and pitiful. It is not by rules that we live, but by love. (today I figured that the ending was very reasonable and good 2020.5.20)
評分love is delicate but virtue is sublime, at least in appearance.
