It is closer to the declamatory theatre of Racine than to anything in the robust tradition of the English novels of Fielding or Smollett or Dickens. It has generated in John watson a response in iambics, which seem in English the only way this expressive grandeur can be attempted. Watson has in the past been drawn similarly to the ancient texts of \u003ci\u003eDaphnis and Chloe\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTristan,\u003c\/i\u003e where passion is also the currency. The \u003ci\u003ePrincesse de Cleves\u003c\/i\u003e may well be his most sustained success.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861506642078,"sku":"ADS-9781922571656","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922571656.jpg?v=1779253204","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922571656","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
