Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book is the result of patient research in eighteenth-century family archives. Particularly those of Belle de Zuylen's contemporaries likely to have met her. Just over twenty years after the publication of her "Oeuvres completes" and the subsequent biographies by Pierre and Simone Dubois and Cecil P. Courtney, this book offers much new material and places her early work in the context of that of her friends.Being in touch with other people was essential for Belle de Zuylen, whose correspondence now also includes two letters when she was seventeen and desperately in love. Among the new poems there is a fable written after a quarrel with friends, whose views on the matter are also published. Another important poem is Belle's long and witty 'epistle' in answer to complimentary verses by the editor of the journal that printed her story "Le Noble". One of the many reactions by friends to this partly autobiographical tale in which Julie d'Arnonville elopes with a man her father does not approve of, came from an offended 'marquis d'Arnonville', who enclosed a lengthy comment on the story.Most of the material was found among the papers of Baron Gijsbert Jan van Hardenbroek, a colleague of Belle's father in the provincial administration.From his letters and memorandums it appears that for many years he was in love with Belle. When he finally asked her to marry him, she had already decided to leave Holland, where she had long known she would never be happy. Isabelle de Charriere (Belle de Zuylen). Early Writings.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book documents what newspapers, literary journals and privateindividuals in Holland wrote about Voltaire between 1746 and 1778. Likeelsewhere in Europe, he was admired for his literary genius but detestedby orthodox Christians for his disrespect of revealed religion. In thisbook these views are represented by Gerard Roos, the translator of Zadig,Socrate and LHomme aux 40 ecus, and the reverendPetrus Hofstede. For Jean Rousset de Missy, the editor of Voltarianaand Les Mensonges imprimes, Voltaire was also a selfish cheatwho did not keep his promises to publishers. In LEpilogueur moderneRousset frequently attacked him in connection with Abrege de lhistoireuniverselle by Jean Neaulme. Among the documents discovered whileworking on this book are the letter Voltaire wrote to the grand pensionaryof Holland after the public burning of his Dictionnaire philosophique,and a second review of Oeuvres de Maupertuis. The book concludeswith a bibliography of Voltaire translations into Dutch, many of thempublished in literary journals.
