The Princess of Clèves, often called the first modern French novel, was published anonymously in 1678 and was received with enthusiasm by its contemporary audience. The text of this Norton Critical Edition is that of Thomas Sargent Perry's 1892 translation, indisputably the translation that has best served readers in English.
