This paper offers an analysis of the main similarities and differences between Las dos doncellas, an exemplary novel by Miguel de Cervantes, and Les deux Amantes, a French version of this narrative published in 1705. Our aim is, firstly, to show that the translator added to the original story some literary influences whose origins are to be found in the 17th-century precious movement in France. Secondly, it is our aim to show that, eventually and taking the contributions of Preciosity as a starting point, the author of Les deux Amantes uses Cervantes’s work to put forward more personal ideas on the defence of women’s freedom.
