"One of the greatest [French novels]." Malcolm Cowley"A story of hopeless love and mute renunciation in which the stately tenor of the lives depicted is hardly ruffled by the exultations and agonies succeeding each other below the surface." Edith WhartonThough the Congress of Cercamp had been broken off, the negotiations for the peace were continued, and things were so disposed, that towards the latter end of February the conferences were reassumed at Chateau-Cambresis; the same plenipotentiaries were sent as before, and the Mareschal de St. Andre being one, his absence freed the Duke de Nemours from a rival, who was formidable rather from his curiosity in observing those who addressed to Madam de Cleves, than from any advances he was capable of making himself in her favour.

La Princesse de Clèves montre l'effet ravageur de la passion dans une âme qui se veut maîtresse d'elle-même. De la première rencontre avec le duc de Nemours jusqu'à la fuite finale dans le « repos », en passant par un aveu qui cause la mort de son mari, Mme de Clèves assiste lucidement à une déroute contre laquelle ses raisonnements restent impuissants. Mme de Lafayette combat ainsi une grande partie de la littérature amoureuse avec cette arme qui s'appelle l'« analyse ». Mme de Lafayette ne l'a pas inventée. Mais jusque-là, elle ne servait qu'à expliquer le comportement des personnages. Ici, pour la première fois, l'analyse devient un moyen de progression et la substance même du récit. Cette audace explique la fortune exceptionnelle du roman, et sa nombreuse postérité.
