This book argues that the most interesting depictions of blindness
in French fiction are those which call into question and ultimately
undermine the prevailing myths and stereotypes of blindness which
dominate Western thought. Rather than seeing blindness as an
affliction, a tragedy or even a fate worse than death, the authors
examined in this study celebrate blindness for its own sake. For
them it is a powerful artistic and creative force which offers new
and surprising ways of describing, and relating to, reality.
Canonical and lesser-known novels from a range of genres, including
the roman noir, science fiction, auto-fiction and realism are
analyzed in detail to show how the presence of blind characters
invites the reader to abandon his or her traditional reliance on
the sense of sight and engage with the world in sensual, and
hitherto unexpected, ways. This book challenges everything we
thought we knew about blindness and invites us to revel in the
pleasures and perils of reading blind.
References to clothing in the nineteenth-century naturalist novel
have traditionally been read merely as examples of descriptive
detail. Thompson, in her groundbreaking study on Zola, rescues
clothing from the margins of representation, and draws on a wide
range of twentieth-century feminist and queer theory to demonstrate
that clothing troubles such binary pairs as 'masculine' and
'feminine', 'normal' and 'perverse', 'natural' and 'artificial'
that lie at the foundations of Zolian naturalism. The author's
investment in the signifying power of clothing in the
Rougon-Macquart is such that the novels can no longer be read as
unproblematic illustrations of literary naturalism; in fact its
intensity demands that Zola's relationship to literature and his
descriptions of Second Empire society be reassessed. (Legenda 2003)
