Prévost's Mentors: The Master-Pupil Relationship in the Major, (Hardcover)

This study focuses on Prévost's flue major fictional works, written mostly during the 1730's, his most prolific period of novel writing. A special feature of Prévost's treatment of the mentor-pupil theme is his sympathy and admiration for women, who reveal more sensitivity and insight than the male characters both as teachers and as students.
