Delphine's eighteenth-century conventional form as an epistolary novel masks its unconventional questioning of accepted values and norms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the start, the Napoleonic government understood that Delphine was more than just a tale of tragic love. Though Sta\\u00ebl disclaimed any intention of writing a political novel, the subversive aspects of a book dedicated to \"The France of Silence\" were not lost on Bonaparte, who prompty exiled the author from Paris. Perhaps most unacceptable to Napoleon was Sta\\u00ebl's assertion of the rights of the individual, particularly those of women. The novel is especially important for its presentation of the plight of women at the end of the eighteenth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis translation of Delphine is based on the authoritative critical French edition prepared by Simone Balay\\u00e9. Goldberger's introduction places the novel in the context of Sta\\u00ebl's work and the thought of the times.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 511\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.49 x 9.01 x 6.07 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722242035775,"sku":"9780875805672","price":81.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/942a8a7988ea695ed4db1a760b564205.webp?v=1765095097","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/delphine-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
