A periodical publication called L'Indigent Philosophe appeared in , and another called Le Cabinet du Philosophe in , but the same causes which had proved fatal to the Spectateur prevented these later efforts from succeeding. In Marivaux published the first two parts of his best and greatest work, Marianne, a novel of a new and remarkable kind.
As was usual, how-ever, with him when he ventured on any considerable task, he was very slow with it. The eleven parts appeared in batches at intervals during a period of exactly the same number of years, and after all it was left unfinished. In another novel, the Paysan Parvenu, was begun, but this also was left unfinished.

The year afterwards Marivaux, who was then nearly fifty years of age, was elected of the Academy. He survived for more than twenty years, and was not idle, again contributing occasionally to the Mercure, writing plays, "reflexions" which were seldom of much worth , and so forth.

He died on the 12th February , aged seventy-five years. The personal character of Marivaux was curious and somewhat contradictory, though not without analogies, one of the closest of which is to be found in Goldsmith. He was, however, unlike Goldsmith, at least as brilliant in conversation as with the pen. He was extremely good-natured, but fond of saying very severe things, unhesitating in his acceptance of favours he drew a regular annuity from-Helvetius , but exceedingly touchy if he thought himself in any way slighted.
Le triomphe de l'amour
This last circumstance, and perhaps jealousy as well, made him a dangerous enemy in Voltaire, who lost but few opportunities of speaking disparagingly of him. Not very much is known of his life, though anecdotes of his sayings are not uncommon. He had good friends, not merely, as has been said, in the rich, generous, and amiable Helvetius, but in Madame de Tencin, in Fontenelle, and even in Madame de Pompadour, who gave him, it is said, a considerable pension, of the source of which he was ignorant.
It is even asserted that annoyance at the discovery of the origin of a benefit which he thought came directly from the king hastened his death ; and, though this is scarcely likely, his extreme sensitiveness is shown by many stories, one of which carries out in real life and almost to the letter Farquhar's famous mot as to "laughing consumedly.
We have no space here for a detailed criticism of Marivaux's extensive work. The subject-matter of Marivaux's peculiar style has been generally and with tolerable exactness described as the metaphysic of love-making. His characters, in a happy phrase of Crebillon's, not only tell each other and the reader everything they have thought, but everything that they would like to persuade themselves that they have thought. It abuses metaphor somewhat, and delights to turn off a metaphor itself in some unexpected and bizarre fashion.
