Description
Stendhal: A Critical Reception of His Novels This book provides an in-depth analysis of the critical reception of Stendhal's two most widely read novels, The Red and the Black and The Charterhouse of Parma. For the first time, it maps out the responses to these novels since their publication in 1830 and 1839. The book is divided into two parts. Part one presents a selection of the most important nineteenth-century reviews, almost all translated into English for the first time. These reviews offer valuable insights into how Stendhal's works were initially received by critics and readers. In contrast, part two presents a range of authoritative readings since 1945, showcasing various critical approaches to Stendhal's novels. By examining these different perspectives, this book offers a nuanced understanding of Stendhal's place in literary history and the enduring impact of his work.
