From Sade at one end of the nineteenth century to Freud at the
other, via many French novelists and poets, pleasure and pain
become ever more closely entwined. Whereas the inseparability of
these themes has hitherto been studied from isolated perspectives,
such as psychoanalysis, sadism and sado-masochism, melancholy, or
post-structuralist textual "jouissance," the originality of this
collaborative volume lies in its exploration of how pleasure and
pain function across a broader range of contexts. The essays
collected here demonstrate how the complex relationship between
pleasure and pain plays a vital role in structuring
nineteenth-century thinking in prose fiction (Balzac, Flaubert,
Musset, Maupassant, Zola), verse and the memoir as well as
socio-cultural studies, medical discourses, aesthetic theory and
the visual arts. Featuring an international selection of
contributors representing the full range of approaches to
scholarship in nineteenth-century French studies - historical,
literary, cultural, art historical, philosophical, and
sociopolitical - the volume attests to the vitality, coherence and
interdisciplinarity of nineteenth-century French studies and will
be of interest to a wide cross-section of scholars and students of
French literature, society and culture.
