This new study of Stendhal's novels takes its title from Stendhal's
dictum `Un roman est comme un archet, la caisse du violon qui rend
les sons, c'est l'ame du lecteur.' Its central theme is the
relationship between novelist and reader, as orchestrated in
Armance, Le Rouge et le Noir, Lucien Leuwen and La Chartreuse de
Parme. From the author's analyses of these novels it emerges that
Stendhal plays upon the reader's reactions and makes him or her
experience in the act of reading what his protagonists experience
in the act of living. Well written, and without obscure theoretical
terminology, Stendhal's Violin is aimed at both the first-degree
scholar and specialist reader. It contains full discussion of the
views of other critics, and presents individual, challenging new
interpretations of Stendhal's novels.
