The Story

If the novelle is not seen as a protorealist narrative with a fair degree of historical accuracyand there is good reason not to accept this conventional viewthen how is it to be read, especially considering its distorted and frequently hyperbolic fictions? American and British scholars of French literature take up the question. They develop a range of critical and theoretical perspectives, drawing on discourses and methodologies of history and literary history, psychoanalysis, narratology, poststructuralism, feminism, and queer theory. The quotations are in French. Annotation 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
