| Synopsis: |
Thomas Holcroft's 1786 translation of Isabelle de Montolieu's novel is a textual encounter between a rather conventional Swiss woman and a British radical. Caroline of Lichtfield is a sentimental novel which tells the story of a young woman who comes to realize that the young and handsome man she has fallen for is less worthy of her affections than her older, less dashing husband. The book was a hugely influential international bestseller and garnered high praise from writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Germaine de Stael and Maria Edgeworth. Jane Austen was also an admirer, and the book's influence can be seen in both Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. A prolific and respected translator herself, Montolieu brought Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion to a French-speaking audience. Just as Montolieu did in her own translations, Holcroft reworked parts of the novel to make it more appealing to his intended audience. |
