This book explores how writers responded to the rise of the
newspaper over the course of the nineteenth century. Taking as its
subject the ceaseless intertwining of fiction and journalism at
this time, it tracks the representation of newspapers and
journalists in works by Honore de Balzac, Edmond and Jules de
Goncourt, and Guy de Maupassant. This was an era in which novels
were published in newspapers and novelists worked as journalists.
In France, fiction was to prove an utterly crucial presence at the
newspaper's heart, with a gilded array of predominant literary
figures active in journalism. Today, few in search of a novel would
turn to the pages of a daily newspaper. But what are usually cast
as discrete realms - fiction and journalism - came, in the
nineteenth century, to occupy the same space, a point which
complicates our sense of the cultural history of French literature.
