{"product_id":"9780873527767","title":"Letters of Mistress Henley Published by Her Friend","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsidered by many scholars to be among the most brilliant novels written in French during the eighteenth century, \u003ci\u003eLettres de Mistriss Henley publiées par son amie\u003c\/i\u003e was composed as a response to Samuel de Constant's misogynist novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Sentimental Husband\u003c\/i\u003e (1783). Charrière presents six letters penned by a Mistriss Henley, who has chosen a decent and affectionate man as her life's companion only to discover that she cannot bear sharing his life. An immediate success on its publication in 1784, \u003ci\u003eMistriss Henley\u003c\/i\u003e was greeted with acclaim and controversy: one reader called the book \"literarily excellent\" but \"morally dangerous in various ways.\" Remarkable for its empathy for both spouses, \u003ci\u003eMistriss Henley\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a moving work of fiction but also one of the most modern novels of its day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Language Association of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033158041840,"sku":"9780873527767","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780873527767_p0.jpg?v=1763843166","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780873527767","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
