This book poses the question: what happens when reading enters the
realist process? and answers it by way of a critical study of
Stendhal's writing. Ann Jefferson argues that a recognition of the
role of reading in representation is particularly crucial to an
understanding of Stendhal's realism, and her account includes
substantial discussions of De l'Amour, Le Rouge et le Noir, the Vie
de Henry Brulard and La Chartreuse de Parme. Her study also draws a
number of illuminating parallels between Stendhal and aspects of
modern critical theory, and uses them in order to reveal the high
degree of sophistication and self-consciousness in Stendhal's
writing, qualities which are attributed here to the intensity of
his preoccupation with his readers. By focusing on the issue of
reading in Stendhal this book not only proposes a reassessment of
Stendhal's own work, but also opens up lines of enquiry on the
critical problem that is realism.
