{"product_id":"half-told-tales-philip-stewart-9780807892329","title":"Half-Told Tales: Dilemmas of Meaning in Three French Novels","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilip Stewart demonstrates that in each of three novels -- Marivaux's \u003ci\u003eLa Vie de Marianne\u003c\/i\u003e, Diderot's \u003ci\u003eLa Religieuse\u003c\/i\u003e, and Rousseau's \u003ci\u003eJulie ou la Nouvelle Héloïse\u003c\/i\u003e -- the characters' sincerity disguises how incompletely the meaning of their own experience is resolved. However clear their premises, ambiguity creeps in, compromising or subtly contradicting the clarity of their vision. Stewart reveals these countercurrents or repressive rhetorical strategies and situates them with respect to the broad thematics of each work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807892327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807892329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unc Department of Romance Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Philip Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48457725313279,"sku":"9780807892329","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f28bc8cd-9948-419d-b75e-93680eaf7da0.jpg?v=1777400668","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/half-told-tales-philip-stewart-9780807892329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
