• Montolieu, Elisabeth Jeanne Pauline Isabelle Polier-de Bottens de Crousaz. A 45 volume Oeuvres Complètes edition of Montolieu was published by Arthus Bertrand between the 1820s and 1830s (1821-1834?). These duodecimo volumes are described as ornamented with "jolies figures." Directly below is an alphabetized list of individual items attributed to Isabelle de Montolie, together with information about them (gathered from many different sources).*

  ----------------------. Adelston ou le Pouvoir de l'Amour. Paris, 1816.

  ----------------------. Agathoclès, ou lettres écrites de Rome et de la Grèce, au commencementdu IXe siècle, translated from the text by Caroline Pichler. Paris 1812. 3 Vols. There was a second edtion in 1813 and a a third in 1817. In her preface to her 1815 edition of Caroline de Lichtfield, Montolieu singles this one out as one of her best translations which, however, "charming as it is, ought to be forgotten against Caroline".

  ----------------------. Alice, ou la Sylphide. This is cited online as an imitation/adaptation of The Sylph, a novel which has been attributed to Georgiana Spencer Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (though see below for another attribution). It is actually a re-issue of Montolieu's translation of The Sylph under another title. See below under La Syphide.

  -----------------------. Amélie et Joséphine. Paris: 1812. A short novel.

  -----------------------. Anabel, ou Mémoires d'une jeune femme de qualitié. Traduit de l'anglais de Mme. Élisa Hervey, par Mme. La Bne. Isabelle de Montolieu. Paris: Arthus Bertrand 1820. 1824. 5 Vols. This was first published in four volumes as Amabel: or, Memoirs of a Woman of Fashion (London: Henry Colburn, 1814). Upon the death of Hervey's husband after just seven years of marriage, Hervey turned to writing to support herself and her two young sons. She is known for her gothic fiction as well as her domestic novels in the tradition of Austen and Edgeworth; her works, popular in their day and now quite scarce, include Melissa and Marcia: or, the Sisters (1788), Louisa: or, the Reward of an Affectionate Daughter (1790), The History of Ned Evans (1796), The Church of Saint Siffrid (1797), and The Mourtray Family (1800). See Montague Summers, A Gothic Bibliography, pp. 64 and 230.

  ---------------------. Un an et un jour. The entry from the catalogue from the National Library of France reads: "Un an et un jour, translated freely from English. Paris: A Bertrand, 1820/21. Traduit d'un ouvrage paru en anglais en 1818 : A Year and a day, sous le nom de Mme Panache. Ce nom, d'après Mme de Montolieu, serait un nom supposé," but the New York Public Library entry reads: "Panache, Madame, 1789 or 90-1881. A year and a day. A novel ... By Madame Panache [pseud.] author of Manners ... New-York: Published by C. Wiley & co., no. 3 Wall-street. J. Seymour, printer. 1819. 267 p. 19 cm.." This is probably by Isabelle de Montolieu as Berthoud records when Isabelle sent the manuscript to her Paris.

  ----------------------. Anecdotes sentimentales.. Londres, 1811.

  ----------------------. Aristomenes, traduit de l'Allemand. By August Heinrich Julius Lafontaine. d'A. Lafontaine. 2 volumes. Paris, 1804.

  [? ----------------------. Aspasie, or, The Wanderer. Paris, 1788. Traduction attribuée à Isabelle de Montolieu par Barbier d'après une mention au titre de l'édition de 1788.?]

  -----------------------. Caroline de Lichtfield. 3 Volumes First published in 1786, it was reissued for a second time in 1786 with "nouvelles corrections considérables"; this text was republished in 1788, 1794/95 and again in 1802; there is an 1809 text which was reprinted in French in London; and then in 1815 Montolieu republished the text presented here. There is also a Caroline de Litchfield (Paris: Dauthereau, 1829, 2 vols [4 vols in 2], perhaps 24mo (I am grateful to Nora Crook for alerting me to the existence of and describing this edition.) Caroline de Lichtfield was again reprinted in 1843 in Paris. The novel was quickly translated into Spanish, Portuguese and English. The English translator was Thomas Holcroft: Caroline of Lichtfield: A Novel. London: Robinson, 1786; a second edition of this English text reappeared in 1787; in Ireland (?) in 1795 and in New York in 1798; there were at least 3 further reprintings (or six "editions" [1798. 1818, 1817] including a Minerva Press reprint) of Holcroft's translation by 1820.

  ----------------------. Cécile de Rodeck, ou les Regrets. This is sometimes cited as if it were an original novel by Montolieu; it is apparently an imitation of a novel by Caroline Pichler. There was a reprint of it bound with Alice, ou la Sylphide in 1829.

  ----------------------. Le Châlet des Hautes-Alpes [The Chalet of the Upper Alps], 1813/1814. This is followed by "Deux feuillets du journal de mon ami Gustave," "Amour et silence," "Frères et soeur," "les Aveux d'un misogyne, ou l'Ennemi des femmes."

I own an 1865 reprint of an 1824 edition of Les châteaux suisses; it includes a dedication to Madame de Genlis's daughter, Pulchérie, given the title La Comtesse de Valence, a "Préface" by Montolieu, a 4 page biographical notice and the following tales: I: "Les grottes de Lindenthal ou le château de Thorberg;" "Les châteaux de Hallwyl et de Mulinen ou l'anneau de Hallwy;" "Les quatre tourelles du château de Vufflens;" "Le château de Blonay;" "Les fêtes du château de Blonay ou Gizèle et Isaure;" and II: "Le roi Lothaire et son chevalier Arthurs (suite de Vufflens)"; Les chevaliers de la Cuillère, ou le château de Montricher;" Le château des Clées et la superstition;" "Le château de Weissenbourg;" "La château de Grandson, anecdote du XVe siècle."

A Paris, Chez Demonville, Imprimeur-Libraire, rue Christine, no. 2, 1806?/1821? This is a translation/adaptation (and apparently enlargement) of the volume-length story which occupies the third volume of Smith's The Letters of a Solitary Wanderer, containing Narratives of Various Description, "The Story of Corisande" (the first two volumes of Smith's work were published in 1799, and three more, including "Corisande" added in 1800). There was an abridgement and translation of this particular tale in 1806 by a M. de Salaberry; this is listed in Harold Wade Streeter, The Eighteenth Century English Novel in Translation: A Bibliographical Study (1936; reprinted New York: Blom, 1970), p. 207 (No. 330).

  ----------------------. Dix Nouvelles [Ten Novellas]. 1815. D'après Quérard, two of the novellas, "le Retour de Maurice," and "Chistian Woldan" are imitated from the German by Starke; "Le Monastère de Saint-Joseph" is freely translated from the German by Goethe.

  ----------------------. Douze Nouvelles [Twelve Novellas]. 1812. D'après Quérard, several of the novellas, "Sophie, ou l'Aveugle," Le Peit Antoine," one of "Deux visites, le Vieux savetier" are also imitated from the German by Starke. "Le Songe" is imitated from the German by Musaeus.

  -----------------------. La Fille du Marguillier/Charles et Hélene. Paris: Arthus Bertrand, 1828. These are apparently not translations, but novels by Montolieu. The National Library of France catalogue says: "Le faux-titre de la première nouvelle porte : La Fille du marguillier, trad. lib. de l'all., de Praetzel ; celui de la deuxième nouvelle porte : Charles et Hélène de Moldorf, ou huit ans de trop, traduit de l'allemand de Mesner.

This free translation by Montolieu was recently reprinted in France as Raison et Sentiments (Broché, 1996). For the "Preface du Traducteur" click here

  ----------------------. Recueil des contes. Geneva: J. J. Paschoud, 1803. D'après Quérard, two of these contes, "Le Voile enlevé" and "Melchsala" are freely translated from the German of Musaeus.

  -----------------------. Réflexions, 1812. Berthoud records Isabelle's comment that this is "dans le genre de La Rochefoucauld."

  ----------------------. La Rose de Jéricho. Imité de l'allemand [de Hesse]. Paris: A Bertrand, 1819."

Edited by Caroline Norton (afterwards Lady Stirling-Maxwell), it reappeared in an English translation from the French in London, 1870." Like Un an et un jour this is probably by Isabelle as Berthoud records when Isabelle sent the manuscript to a publisher in Paris.

  -----------------------. Saint-Clair des Isles, ou Les Exilés à l'Isle de Barra, freely translated from the English text by Elizabeth Helme). Par Mme de Montolieu. 4 vols. Paris: chez H. Nicolle. 1809.

  ---------------------. Sophie d'Alwin, ou le Séjour aux eaux de B***, followed by La découverte des eux thermales de Weissembourg.. Paris: Arthus Bertrand, 1830. These may not be translations. The National Library of France catalogue says: " Le faux titre de la première nouvelle porte : Sophie d'Alwin ou le Séjour aux eaux de B*** traduit de l'allemand de Mme Caroline l'ichler ; celui de la deuxième nouvelle porte : Découverte des eaux thermales de Weissembourg, dans le Bas-Siebenthal, au canton de Berne : ancienne tradition tirée de la Rose des Alpes, ouvrage périodique?"

  ---------------------. Sternbald, ou le Peintre voyageur translated from the German by Tieck, reviewed and "corrected" by Montolieu. Paris, 1823. Berthoud records that Madame de Genlis's daughter Pulchérie had a liaison with a painter of this name.

  -----------------------. La Sylphide, ou l'Ange gardien. A translation of The Sylph, which has been attributed to Georgiana Spencer Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, though the attribution has been questioned (see below). The first edition seems to be Paris, Mérigot jeune, 1784, 2 vols. in -12. A second edition is listed as La sylphide ou l'ange-gardien, nouvelle traduite de l'Anglais. Imprimé aux dépends du Traducteur, et se vend à Lausanne, 1795. 11.5cm. 157p., fold. pl. with musical notation, frontis. engraved by L.Emery dated (1793). There was another: Lausanne and Paris, 1795, in-18; this may have been reprinted in 1796. (There was an earlier translation in 1784 (Le Sylphe. Paris, Mérigot jeune, 1784, 2 vol. in-12.) This is an interesting choice, for the novel combines elements of sentimentality and libertinism. It also sold and has attracted attention since because of the vexed question of attribution , its possible autobiographical content and its depictions of amorality.

  -----------------------. Suite des nouvelles. Paris: Bertrand, 1918. This includes: Nantilde, ou la Vallée de Balbella, Découverte des eaux thermales de Weissembourg ; II. Cécile de Rodeck, ou les Regrets, and Alice ou la Sylphide; III. Sophie d'Alwin, ou le Séjour aux eaux de B***.

This is an important source of information for Montolieu's life and her milieu; it is a study and reprint of many primary documents taken from public archives and family-owned documents.

*Montolieu's total corpus is said to number at least 105 volumes, although the largest online list (at the National Library of France) contains only 84, and a couple of these are misattributions. Any items which I list here which are attributed to Isabelle de Montolieu but which I feel unsure about will be placed inside brackets with a question mark at either end. I also here mention that the National Library of France lists two books of letters: one by Isabelle de Montolieu, the other by Anne-Pierre Montesquiou-Fezensac. Both are described as printed ("texte imprimé). However, I have never seen these two book advertised as for sale or cited anywhere else.

• Cavendish, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. The Sylph, introd. Amanda Foreman. York: Henry Parker, 2001. Although the attribution is argued for by Amanda Foreman, there is evidence to suggest the novel could be by Sophia Briscoe; see Foreman's introduction as in her Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, pp. 58-60, but also Antonia Forster and James Raven, English Novels 1770-1829: A Bibliographical Survey of Prose Fiction Published in the British Isles I (1770-1799), I,:277-78: "[?Cavendish, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire]": Some doubt on authorship is cast by a receipt for 12 gns paid by Lowndes on 29 Oct 1778 to S. Briscoe; the word 'Sylph' is written in the lower left-hand corner (BM Add. Mss. 38,728, f 35). Possibly Sophia Briscoe, author of Miss Melmoth (1771) and The Fine Lady (1772) also published by Lowndes ... In private but never in public the Duchess admitted authorship of the autobiographical Sylph, according to Amanda Foreman (in her biography of Georgiana, pp 59-60)."

Although this is a study of later English novels, the thesis that the hero of such books is a mother surrogate explicates central aspect of the character and acts of the Comte de Walstein. It links him to Rhett Butler of Gone with the Wind; where the heroine is able to recognize the mother figure in time, she ends happily and securely.
• Miller, J. Hillis, "Narrative and History," ELH, 41 (1974), pp. 455 - 473. Miller discusses how epistolary narratives function as "forms of counter-displacement:" "a novel is in various ways a chain of displacements -- displacement of its author into the invented role of narrator, further displacement of the narrator into the lives of imaginary characers whose thoughts and feelings are represented in that odd kind of ventriloquism called 'indirect discourse."
