It is closer to the declamatory theatre of Racine than to anything else in the robust tradition of the English novels of Fielding or Smollett or Dickens. It has generated in John Watson a response in iambics, which seem in English the only way this expressive grandeur can be attempted. Watson has in the past been drawn similarly to the ancient texts of \u003cem\u003eDaphnis and Chloe\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTristan\u003c\/em\u003e, where passion is also the currency. \u003cem\u003ePrincess de Clèves\u003c\/em\u003e may well be his most sustained success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922571652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922571656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puncher \u0026amp; Wattmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.31d","brand":"John Watson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440126144767,"sku":"9781922571656","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a431416-a0e9-4f32-8e7d-8ab1feb93de9.jpg?v=1777180419","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/princesse-de-clzuves-john-watson-9781922571656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
