[Rarebooks] FS: 18th Century Illustrated French Novel

[Charles Agvent]

[BACULARD] D'ARNAUD [(Francois)]. LES EPOUX MALHEUREUX OU HISTOIRE DE 
MONSIEUR ET MADAME DE ***. Paris: Laporte, 1783. New Revised Edition. 
Two octavo (5-1/4" x 8-1/4") volumes in contemporary marbled boards; 
[ii], xii, 288; [iv], 256 [last page numbered 238]. Augmented with two 
new parts, which are the conclusion of the History. Illustrated with 10 
fine engravings after Eisen by Guttenberg and Macret. An English 
translation from Larousse DICTIONNAIRE MONDIAL DES LITTÉRATURES: "Very 
representative of the preoccupations and structures of 'sensitive' 
fiction at the end of the 18th century, these tearful tales grouped 
together, located in an interchangeable England or the Middle Ages, 
recount at leisure the misfortunes of virtuous and sensitive heroines 
grappling with merciless libertines. Moralism and conformism are 
combined with a morbid taste for pain and a complacency in the painting 
of evil. The sense of staging and drama brings these romantic texts 
closer to the author's dramatic production." Occasional toning to the 
text. Very Good. (#005343)        $250
