Casanova: Love selections

There is a very nice etext of Casanova’s complete Memoirs. It is perfect for finding intriguing bits left out by our editors.This is the first full English translation from the late 19c; it is not as complete and definitive as the Trask translation from the 1960s.

I will post some key selections that were left out of our edition dealing directly with love.

the first: Christine, who Casanova considers marrying. This is Chapter 19 of the 1st volume.

the second: Henriette, who Casanova has a very long relationship with, spanning Ch 23 of Vol 1, and Ch 1-3 of vol 2. I am linking 1:23 and 2:1 here.

The third: C. C., from 2:12. This one also continues in the following chapter.

Fourth: Madamoiselle XCV

Fifth: Veronique (and Annette)

Last: Pauline
