In the novels of Emile Zola, the pain and horror of working class
life was pushed into the drawing rooms of polite society. Zola set
out to shock and to question the assumptions of fiction and of
comfortable, settled lives. The impact of his writing was far wider
than France, and his attacks on the pillars of society gave him an
international reputation. First published in 1985, this biography
of Zola does much more than simply describe Zola as a writer, and
his literary impact. It brings together the many strands of Zola's
life and creates an impression of a remarkable, if often
exasperating individualist. This book will be of interest to those
studying the works of Emile Zola and more broadly
nineteenth-century and French literature.
