One of the founders of literary realism and the serial novel,
Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) was a prolific writer who produced
more than a hundred novels, plays and short stories during his
career. With its dramatic plots and memorable characters, Balzac's
fiction has enthralled generations of readers. 'La Comedie
humaine', the vast collection of works in which he strove to
document every aspect of nineteenth-century French society, has
influenced writers from Flaubert, Zola and Proust to Dostoevsky and
Oscar Wilde. This Companion provides a critical reappraisal of
Balzac, combining studies of his major novels with guidance on the
key narrative and thematic features of his writing. Twelve chapters
by world-leading specialists encompass a wide spectrum of topics
such as the representation of history, philosophy and religion, the
plight of the struggling artist, gender and sexuality, and Balzac's
depiction of the creative process itself.
