Eloisa : or, A series of original letters - Jumbo Edition, Volume 2 of 2 by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau's French original (1761) was a sensation of pre-Revolutionary sentimental literature; this English translation appeared within fifteen years, amid Britain's own vogue for novels of sensibility led by Richardson and Sterne. The novel argues that passionate love and reasoned virtue are not opposites -- that deeply felt sentiment, properly disciplined, is itself a moral education, a direct challenge to Enlightenment rationalism's coldness toward feeling. A key primary text for understanding the 18th-century sentimental novel and Rousseau's broader philosophy of natural feeling against social convention.

Volume 2 of 2. Each volume in this set is separately bound and separately catalogued, with its own ISBN, and carries the full front matter and table of contents for its own volume. This is a Jumbo Edition: it runs longer than our 442-page Liftable usability cap, printed in one volume up to our printer's mechanical maximum of 1,200 pages. The complete work was too long for a single volume, so it was divided at natural seams into 2 volumes.

For collection development: this is a large-print edition intended for low-vision and aging patrons, and for any reader who finds standard trade print tiring over a long sitting. It suits large-print and accessibility collections, adult and young-adult general collections where the text is a standard, and reading-room copies where a durable case binding matters. This volume runs beyond the 442-page Liftable limit and is correspondingly heavier. The text is unabridged and reproduced from a public-domain source without modernisation. Cataloguers should note that the volumes of this set are acquired individually and each carries its own ISBN.

Quality process: document and metadata checks, editorial review, and visual review. Scope and limits are explained in the book.

This Clearview Editions hardcover is built on a production standard that significantly exceeds the industry norm for large-print publishing. The body text is set at 18-point Atkinson Hyperlegible Next on 27-point leading, 1.5 line spacing --- the minimum WCAG 2.2 Level AAA Success Criterion 1.4.8 sets for a block of text, and the figure UKAAF's large-print guidance gives as well. The leading North American large-print hardcover imprints typically set their body text at 16 point, and most large-print trade paperbacks release at 14 to 16 point. At 18 point, Clearview Editions offers text that is measurably larger than every other major large-print publisher, specifically for readers with low vision, macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or any visual condition that makes standard trade print frustrating or impossible to read for long stretches. The trim size is equally generous. Clearview Editions is printed on a 7x10-inch page, substantially larger than the 6x9 hardcover that is standard in the large-print industry and roughly 50 percent larger by area than the 5x8 trade paperback trim most legacy large-print paperback imprints use.

The extra page area is deliberate: it allows the 18-point body to set at the 50-to-55 character line length that reading-fatigue research identifies as optimal, without the narrow text columns and cramped margins that plague smaller-trim large-print books.

This record identifies the particular hardcover volume and its page count. The edition designation helps readers and libraries judge the size and weight of the physical book before ordering. The front and back matter document the source, production choices, and specifications for this volume.
