''[[Narcisse, ou L'amant de Lui-même]]'' ("Narcissus, or The lover of himself") is a French comedy in one act by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Rousseau].
 
 
 
 
 
==The original text==
 
 
 
Written in 1742, when Rousseau was still a youth of 18, and was only performed ten years later by the Comédiens du Roi on 18 December, 1752 and published in February of 1753.
 
 
 
==Translations and adaptations==
 
 
 
Denis Carolet's  parody version of ''[[Le Rival de Lui-même]]'' appears to have been the text translated/adapted into [[Dutch]] as ''[[De Medeminnaar van Zichzelven]]'' (lit. "the co-lover of himself", i.e. "his own rival") by  Marten Westerman (1775-1852)[http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/aa__001biog24_01/aa__001biog24_01_0379.php]. Described as a [[vaudeville]] or "blyspel met zang in één bedryf" (a "comedy in one act with singing"), the text was published in Rotterdam by J. Hofhout en Zoon, 1800 and by J.C. van Kesteren in 1820. No author given in the latter case, though the Google E-book version lists it as a work by Carolet. 
 
 
 
The Dutch play was apparently was first performed in [[Dutch]] in The Hague in 1805 and later Westerman's [[Dutch]] version was twice performed at the Koninklijke Nederduitsche Schouwburg (Royal Dutch Theatre), The Hague (in 1820 and 1828).
 
 
 
== Performance history in South Africa ==
 
 
 
1868: Performed in [[Dutch]] as ''[[De Medeminnaar van Zichzelven]]''  in Paarl on 26 May by an unnamed company (referred to by Bosman simply as "plaaslike jong liefhebbers" - i.e. "local young amateurs"), without any author or venue being mentioned either.
