• W4379617368 abstract "MLRy 97.4, 2002 971 ventories of booksellers, of royal and state libraries, and the libraries of scholars and aristocrats. Several of the countries mentioned were not independent entities. Up to 1814, Denmark and Norway were united under the Danish crown; Poland was always in some form of tutelage to Russia, Hungary formed part of the Austro-Hungarian empire under the Habsburg monarchy, and Greece was part of the Ottoman empire. Discussions about the constitutional future of states in Europe slowly gathered pace. It seems that two issues raised particular interest. The firstwas whether the absolute monarchies of Europe were monarchies or despotisms in Montesquieu's use of the terms, and whether they should be models for the future. Kings, queens, emperors, empresses, and statesmen and scholars in their orbits did not wish to consider the monarchic systems they operated as despotic. Nor did Montesquieu's assertion that some forms of aristocratic government are despotic in relation to those excluded go unquestioned in Poland and Hungary. The other issue was the separation of powers. The idea of the good monarch, the father of his people, responsible forboth the laws and their application, was cherished in some quarters, perhaps particularly in Russia, and Montesquieu's theory of intermediate powers was often misunderstood. There were of course other influences. Locke and Adam Smith in England and Rousseau in France are mentioned by several contributors. Nevertheless, Mon? tesquieu's influence on constitutional discussion and developments in Europe from the second half of the eighteenth century is acknowledged as very significant. Per? haps another conference or round-table discussion could be devoted entirely to this question? Kingston-on-Thames Iris Cox Crebillon fils, Les Egarements du coeur et de I'esprit. By Patrick Fein. (Critical Guides to French Texts, 123) London: Grant and Cutler. 2000. 72 pp. ?5.95. The past few years have witnessed a considerable increase in interest in French libertine narrative, thanks, in no small part, to the appearance of anthologies such as Raymond Trousson's Romans libertinsdu XVIIIe siecle (Paris: Laffont, 1993) and the more recent Pleiade Romanciers libertinsdu XVIIIe siecle, edited by Patrick Wald Lasowski, vol. 1(Paris: Gallimard, 2000). Both of these key works prominently feature novels by Crebillon^i/s, and Trousson's anthology opens with Les Egarements du coeur etde I'esprit (1736-38), which is considered amasterpieceof proto-libertine narrative. It is thereforeextremely timely forGrant and Cutler to publish Patrick Fein's analysis and discussion of Les Egarements as part of their series entitled 'Critical Guides to French Texts'. Les Egarements, praised by many as Crebillon's finestwork, traces in memoir form the entry into society of the young ingenuous Meilcour and his interactions with an assortment of characters, including the femme de tete (p. 29) Madame de Lursay, the female libertine Madame de Senanges, the young Hortense de Theville, and the rakish libertine Versac, who lays out his manifesto in the pages of the novel. Popular in its day,the novel spawned some twenty-nine editions between 1738 and 1789, although it fell into relative obscurity in the nineteenth century. The introduction to Fein's work traces Crebillon's life and work and examines the recent revival in interest especially from critics engaged in narratological studies on memoir novels. This introduction discusses the contributions of the major critical studies of the past thirty years or so, including those of Gerard Genette, Vivienne Mylne, Philip Stewart, and Peter Brooks. Subsequentchapterscover questionsof structureand form,social realismand satire, appearance and reality,use of dialogue, and the novel's reception. Perhaps the 972 Reviews most interesting chapter is entitled 'The Art of Conversation' and includes discussion of the work by Stewart and Carole Dornier as well as many pertinent comments by Fein. The subtle use of language by characters who represent themselves in the first person is possibly the most appealing element of Crebillon's work, especially where language is used as a weapon for seduction. Fein judges Les Egarements 'as much a masterpiece of memoir-form as Les Liaisons dangereuses is a successful culmination of the epistolary novel' (p. 66). Although this comment is praise indeed, it shows how the latter text is still held up as..." @default.
