Julie, or the New Eloise
This landmark of the romantic movement not only greatly influenced the taste and morality of the eighteenth-century reading public but was also one of the most seminal and widely read literary works of its day. It won for Rousseau a place beside the author of Candide as a director of European thought. Seventy-two editions of the novel in French appeared between 1761 and 1800, and though Voltaire called its success one of the infamies of the century.
The first three parts are devoted to the celebration of the passionate, mutual love of Saint-Preux and Julie; the last three praise Julie's return to virtue as a faithful wife and dedicated mother. The plot of the novel is one familiar to all literature; that of a fallen and regenerated woman. Professor McDowell's translation is precise but natural and conveys to the reader the distinctive flavor of Rousseau's style.
