Considered one of the most brilliant novels written in French during the eighteenth century, LETTERS OF MISTRESS HENLEY was greeted with acclaim & controversy on its publication in 1784: one reader called the book "literarily excellent" but "morally dangerous in various ways." The novel contains six lettters by S. Henley, who has recently become the wife of the perfect husband. Tall, handsome, even-tempered, & reasonable, Mr. Henley is the second son of the Earl of Reding, the widower of a woman who left him a large fortune, & the father of an angelic five-year-old girl. Yet Mistress Henley finds herself incapable of making her husband--& herself--happy. Nothing she does--the way she treats her stepdaughter, her decisions regarding the household, how she dresses for a ball--is to his liking. She has chosen a decent & affectionate man as her life's companion only to discover that she cannot bear sharing his life. Remarkable for its empathy for both spouses, MISTRESS HENLEY is not only a moving work of fiction but also one of the most modern novels of its day.
