About La Nouvelle Héloïse

Rousseau's 1761 Julie — the best-selling novel of the 18th century — follows Julie d'Étange and her tutor Saint-Preux through illicit love, virtuous marriage, and the social experiment of Clarens. An epistolary novel that made virtue emotionally attractive and invented the sentimental novel; Julie's death is the emotional event of the French Enlightenment.
