Manon Lescaut (Dodo Press)
Antoine Francois Prevost (Antoine Francois Prevost d'Exiles) (1697-1763), usually known simply as the Abbe Prevost, was a French author and novelist. In 1713 he became a novice of the order in Paris, pursuing his studies at the same time at the college of La Fleche. At the end of 1716 he left the Jesuits to join the army, but soon tired of military life, and returned to Paris in 1719, apparently with the idea of resuming his novitiate. His restless spirit made him seek from the Pope a transfer to the easier rule of Cluny; but he left the abbey without leave, and fled to England. In London he acquired a wide knowledge of English history and literature, as can be seen in his writings. Before leaving the Benedictines, Prevost had begun perhaps his most famous novel, Memoires et Aventures d'un Homme de Qualite qui s'est Retire du Monde (1728). In 1729 he left England for the Netherlands, where he began to publish (1731) a novel; Le Philosophe Anglais, ou Histoire de Monsieur Cleveland, Fils Naturel de Cromwell, Ecrite Par Lui-Meme, et Traduite de L'Anglais (1731-1739, 8 vols).

The text of this new English translation is based on Singerman’s 1990 French edition, which Jonathan Walsh called “arguably the most valuable critical edition” of Prévost’s novel to date. This new edition also includes a complete critical apparatus comprising a substantial introduction, notes, appendixes, and bibliography, all significantly updated from the 1990 French edition, taking into account recent scholarship on this work and providing some additional reflection on the question...
Manon Lescaut
The story of Manon Lescaut is a tale of passion and betrayal, of delinquency and misalliance, which moves from eighteenth-century Paris - with its theatres, assemblies, and gaming-houses - via prison and deportation to a tragic denouement among the treeless wastes of Louisiana.
