Aimed at examining the intersections between drama and the novel in
nineteenth-century France, this collection of essays reorients
scholarly attention to the central place of the theater in
nineteenth-century life. Although not limited to a single critical
approach, the essays in this collection share common intellectual
concerns: the inscription of theatrical aesthetics within the
novel; the widespread practice among nineteenth-century novelists
of adapting their works for the stage; and the novel's engagement
with popular forms of theater. Each of the ten essays provides
insight into a specific aspect of the relationship between the
theater and the novel in the nineteenth century. Read together,
their distinct perspectives form an overview of the literary
landscape of nineteenth-century France. Bridging the gap between
the drama and the novel, Novel Stages engages readers across the
sometimes divisive lines of critical theory, cultural studies, and
genre studies.
