Abstract

La Princesse de Clèves, written in 1678 by Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne, countess of Lafayette, is widely known as the first modern French novel. The editors of this volume designed it with French language and culture learners in mind. The text provides a bilingual edition to foreground French literary and linguistic content and encourage students’ reflection on the novel’s translation. The translation offers a rich variety of pedagogical dossiers with a wide range of resources and approaches for teaching and exploring La Princesse de Clèves in twenty-first century courses. The translation is enriched by translator’s notes that compare the current translation with earlier editions and shed light on the socio-cultural context of Lafayette’s time.
