Tout serait tellement plus simple si Balzac pouvait être enfermé dans des territoires fussent-ils variés, dans des définitions fussent-elles contradictoires. Il ne serait pas nécessaire alors de le chercher dans son maillon qui paraît le plus faible, celui qui entraîne les considérations les plus affligées, jadis et aujourd’hui encore, son style ou plutôt ses styles. Si l’on accepte le temps d’un doute et la durée d’une observation, si l’on approche au plus près le lieu où les rhétoriques se figent et se brisent qui est aussi le lieu même de leur absence, on découvrira qu’est renvoyée dans la langue si étrange diffraction de couleurs qu’il semble qu’elles aient traversé les parcelles d’un merveilleux vitrail. Pluralité, éclatements, éclaboussements. Une grenade soudain dans la littérature. Ou bien un bouquet, un de ceux si magnifiques et improbables que composait Félix de Vandenesse qui se confond avec ceux de Balzac en l’infinité de ses incarnations, en même temps manifeste de son art poétique.

Balzac's monumental work, La Comédie humaine, consists of a wide range of novels, stories, and other writings which, he maintained, were to be read and understood as a whole. In this illuminating study Allen H. Pasco explores the work's unifying elements which lend weight to Balzac's claim.Pasco articulates the principles against which he measures the unity of La Comédie humaine: the relation of narrative to description; the relation of description to images and concept; how images are linked to each other and to the whole; the esthetic vision and unchronological arrangement of the work; the relationship between implicit frame and explicit context, and college vs montage. Pasco offers insightful readers of one or more novels as he considers each principle.He concludes that Balzac is the master not of collage - the construction of a whole from isolated pieces - but of montage: he regularly constructs wholes from other wholes.

Although Balzac's work has been much studied, practically nothing has been written on his use of linguistic concepts. Applying a new approach, this perceptive book demonstrates that the theme and theory of language were central to Balzac's fiction. In considering how the novelist was influenced by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century speculation on language, Martin Kanes traces the development of Balzac's own linguistic ideas from his early to his later writings.Originally published in 1976.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Eavesdropping in the Novel from Austen to Proust investigates human curiosity and its representation in eavesdropping scenes in nineteenth-century English and French novels. Ann Gaylin argues that eavesdropping dramatizes a primal human urge to know and offers a paradigm of narrative transmission and reception of information among characters, narrators and readers. Gaylin sheds light on the social and psychological effects of the nineteenth-century rise of information technology and accelerated flow of information, as manifested in the anxieties about - and delight in - displays of private life and its secrets. Analysing eavesdropping in Austen, Balzac, Collins, Dickens and Proust, Gaylin demonstrates the flexibility of the scene to produce narrative complication or resolution; to foreground questions of gender and narrative agency; to place the debates of privacy and publicity within the literal and metaphoric spaces of the nineteenth-century novel. This 2003 study will be of interest to scholars of nineteenth-century English and European literature.
