This text on Balzac and his work includes an introduction which outlines the historical and cultural context. It explores and explains the conflicting and critical reactions to his literature. A glossary of critical terms and cultural references is included.
This canon of French literature, Honore de Balzac (1799-1850), is also a major European figure in the development of realism. His work is dominated by an inter-related sequence of novels and short stories, La Comédie Humaine, which charts the idiosyncrasies of French society from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the 1840s. Among the most famous of these are Le Père Goriot and La Cousine Bette.
In this study, Dr Tilby concentrates on the main approaches in practice and discusses some of the earliest responses to Balzac's work. His introduction and headnotes set Balzac's work in context. This book will be of interest to students of French language and literature and also to those studying French in combined studies or humanities courses.
