• W1970962657 abstract "The Dialogics of Desire in La Nouvelle HéloïseMichael O'Dea Although La Nouvelle Héloïse is a novel in which the letters of many different correspondents appear, it is not typified by great epistolary diversity any more than by rapid or ingenious developments in the plot. As well as the heroine Julie, her pseudonymous lover Saint-Preux, and her cousin Claire, there are interventions by six other characters in the course of the 163 letters that make up the work, but contending ideas, contrasting characterizations, marked differences in individual style, if not entirely absent from the successive letters, are not prominent features of the novel. In the separately published Seconde Préface or Entretien sur les romans entre l'éditeur et un homme de lettres, the point is taken up by Rousseau's imaginary interlocutor as part of his insistent probing of the question that most preoccupies him, namely, whether the correspondence is real or fictional. For him the similarity of thought and style among the letters is the sign of an artlessness that suggests a real correspondence . The work is characterized by une maladresse que le dernier barbouilleur eût évitée1 but which may here be the sign of truth and the mark of nature. Any writer would have said to himself: il faut marquer avec soin les caracteres; il faut exactement varier les styles. According to the speaker, however, characters and styles become alike in a closely knit society: les amis confondant leurs ames, confondent 1 Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Œuvres complètes, éd. Marcel Raymond and Bernard Gagnebin (Paris: Gallimard, 1959- , 4 vols published to date), 2:28. La Nouvelle Héloïse and its prefaces appear in vol. 2, text edited by Henri Coulet with notes by Bernard Guyon. References to La Nouvelle Héloïse, by part, letter number, and page, are to this edition. EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FICTION, Volume 7, Number 1, October 1994 38 EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FICTION aussi leurs manieres de penser, de sentir, et de dire. Uniformity in thought, feeling, and expression may thus be the result of faithful reproduction of real letters rather than artistic failure in fictional narrative (or, of course, it may be something that the dialogue cannot acknowledge it to be: a higher form of art that eschews the stock devices of the journeyman barbouilleur). Moreover, Rousseau's interlocutor argues, the special character and prestige of Julie will inevitably have cast their spell over the other correspondents: Cette Julie, telle qu'elle est, doit être une créature enchanteresse; tout ce qui l'approche doit lui ressembler ; tout doit devenir Julie autour d'elle; tous ses amis ne doivent avoir qu'un ton (2:28). Art and nature, truth and fiction constantly exchange places in this deft and elusive dialogue, which ends with the Homme de lettres urging Rousseau to transpose the roles of author and interlocutor when he publishes their conversation, and then admitting that the suggestion was a trap (2:30). However, the observations on the novel's uniformity in ideas and style stand unchallenged in the text, in which Rousseau simply invites his interlocutor to draw a conclusion from his comments while the Homme de lettres refuses to do so. Their dialogue can provide a useful starting place for examining the function of epistolary exchange in the novel and assessing the extent to which La Nouvelle Héloïse has a dialogic character where differing or competing voices make themselves heard. The following study examines, in particular, conflicting or potentially conflicting positions on moral issues taken up by the characters at critical points and assesses the significance of the tendency of such conflicts to dissolve into the unanimity evoked in the Seconde Préface, when the reader might have expected them to sustain a measure of diversity and moral argument within the text.2 2 The Seconde Préface itself is characterized by something of the uniformity of tone that it attributes to the novel. What distinguishes the Hommes de lettres from Rousseau is primarily that he does not know the answer to his question, Cette correspondance est-elle réelle, ou si c'est une fiction? (2:11).
