The Family in Crisis in Late Nineteenth-Century French Fiction,
first published in 1999, focuses on a key moment in the
construction of the modern view of the family in France. Nicholas
White's analysis of novels by Zola, Maupassant, Hennique, Bourget
and Armand Charpentier is fashioned by perspectives on a wide
cultural field, including legal, popular and academic discourses on
the family and its discontents. His account encourages a close
rereading of canonical as well as overlooked texts from fin de
siecle France. What emerges between the death of Flaubert in 1880
and the publication of Bourget's Un divorce in 1904 is a series of
Naturalist and post-Naturalist representations of transgressive
behaviour in which tales of adultery, illegitimacy, consanguinity,
incest and divorce serve to exemplify and to offer a range of
nuances on the Third Republic's crisis in what might now be termed
'family values'.
