This volume provides a critical introduction to eight landmark
novels in 19th- and 20th-century French literature, including The
Plague, Madame Bovary, and The Little Prince. Timeless literary
masterpieces-such as Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
(1831) and The Miserables (1862), Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1857),
and Camus' The Stranger (1942) and The Plague (1947)-have been the
subject of copious literary criticism since their publications.
This volume has been developed specifically to help students and
general readers reach a deeper understanding of eight French
novels, enabling them to develop a true appreciation for why the
works have been regarded as masterpieces. Lucid yet challenging
literary analysis focuses on plot and character development,
themes, style, and biographical and historical context. This guide
offers a fuller sense of the historical and literary environment in
which each author worked. Librarians and educators were consulted
in determining which eight novels to include. In addition to those
listed above, full treatment is given to Alexandre Dumas' The Three
Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, and the perennially
popular tale The Little Prince. These eight works cover a time
period of more than 100 years, reflecting the development of the
French novel and the literary movements of this era. An
introductory essay provides a concise overview of French literature
through the 1800's and early 1900's, identifying additional seminal
works beyond those fully discussed here. For readers desiring to
pursue further research, an extensive bibliography has been
compiled, offering sources for additional novels, criticism,
reviews from the time of publication, and biographical information.
