This is the first major study of naturalist fiction as a distinct literary genre. It focuses mainly on French naturalist literature, analysing a number of key works in detail, but also draws examples from other national traditions, particularly from the English novel. Professor Baguley questions and revises many traditional assumptions on important theoretical issues such as the nature of literary history, the concepts of 'realism' and 'naturalism', and the relations between science and literature. He demonstrates the prevalence of certain recurrent generic patterns, themes and techniques in the general body of naturalist literature, ranging from disquieting tragic developments to the most outrageous ironic and parodic effects. He argues persuasively that, far from being a mere record of the external aspects of reality, naturalist fiction is a literature of 'scandalous' provocation which employs the strategies of realist art to convey a profoundly disturbing vision of that reality.

This book offers a variety of approaches to Zola's masterpiece, published amid considerable controversy in 1876-7. L'Assommoir (the tale of a Parisian washerwoman who after a hard life turns to drink and dies in abject poverty) is analysed as a social and political novel, as a representative work of literary naturalism, and in the context of its repercussions in the history of the novel. Professor Baguley investigates its complex and sometimes ambiguous themes, its literary structures and its technical innovativeness. He provides a synthesis of the best research and criticism of the novel together with insights into its interpretation. The biographical and historical context is given, and there is a guide to further reading.

This volume explores the characteristics of the art and literature of the Second Empire in France; it examines the attitudes and positioning of artists and writers of the period in relation to a regime of dubious legitimacy, and the ways in which that regime exploited to its advantage the artistic capital available to it.

Depuis longtemps, les spécialistes de Zola ainsi que tous ceux qui, par leurs recherches, qu’elles soient d’ordre littéraire, historique, sociologique ou artistique, s’intéressent à Zola, ont éprouvé le besoin d’avoir à leur disposition un répertoire de l’immense corpus d’écrits relatifs à un écrivain majeur que le grand public lit encore. Cette bibliographie, remarquablement complète et intelligemment organisée, met à notre disposition un tel répertoire. Avec l’aide de plusieurs collaborateurs et avec le concours de bibliothèques de nombreux pays, David Baguley a recueilli environ 8000 titres pour la période qui s’étend des premiers comptes rendus des ouvrages de jeunesse de Zola jusqu’à l’an 1970. Bien que son livre ne prétende pas être exhaustif, l’auteur a répertorié de façon extrêment détaillée la critique française ainsi que la critique anglaise, allemande, espagnole et polonaise et il a inclu les études principales dans d’autres langues. Les titres sont disposés chronologiquement par années. Pour chaque année, la classification suit l’ordre alphabétique des auteurs. L’introduction met en relief les buts et les critères poursuivis par l’auteur. D’autre part, les chercheurs trouveront fort utile la liste des thèses inédites qui ont été rédigées sur Zola dans divers pays. Ils trouveront aussi un index des auteurs et des noms qui figurent dans les titres et dans les notes ainsi qu’un index des sujets qui, par l’emploi des numéros attribués aux titres, permet de retrouver rapidement les matériaux relatifs à un sujet donné, que ce soit les études sur Germinal, sur Zola et le théâtre, sur l’Affaire Dreyfus, etc. Chaque fois que le besoin s’en fait sentir, de brèves annotations portent sur la langue, le contenu, l’importance ou le point de vue critique de l’étude. Cet ouvrage constitue un instrument de travail indispensable aux études zoliennes.

This historical and critical study of Zola’s FÉconditÉ contributes much to an understanding of how the novel came to be written and of its achievements. Like Travail and VeritÉ, the later books in the series Les Quatre Evangiles, FÉconditÉ has not previously received significant critical attention. This study reveals and interprets the less obvious aspects of the work, its biblical and mythical themes, its sources and genesis. It also adds to our knowledge of Zola’s later works through the examination of various ideological currents-particularly the impact of Malthusianism, its proponents and adversaries, and who among them Zola read in preparing this book. FÉconditÉ deals with the particular problem of France’s declining birth-rate at the end of the nineteenth century and, more generally, with the problem of decadence and cultural renewal. By the time that he wrote FÉconditÉ, Zola had abandoned his naturalist aesthetic of scientific objectivity, if not also his working methods as a novelist. This study shoes how his didactic concerns continually asserted themselves in the structure and the use of rhetorical techniques in FÉconditÉ.Specialists in Zola, and others more generally interested in the French culture of the late nineteenth century, as well as the particular demographic problems that Zola treats in the work, and the relationship of literature to primitive mythology, should find this study of particular interest.

'This book offers real hope' David Stockdale, CEO, British Tinnitus AssociationTinnitus can be a difficult and distressing condition to manage, and many people with tinnitus are currently left to fend for themselves.Misophonia is an increasingly recognized, and equally distressing, condition which is likewise often overlooked by the medical profession, despite the acute anxiety it generates in those experiencing it. However, prospects for recovery have never been better, based on recent advances in psychology, auditory neuroscience and medicine. Because tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia present very differently and idiosyncratically from individual to individual, self-help techniques can often be effective in minimizing the distress caused by these disorders, which can range from lack of sleep and irritability, to loss of concentration and confidence. The latest edition of Living with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis looks at strategies for living with tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia, and includes a complete programme for recovery. It features the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and medicine to offer a full overview of the causes, impact, and most effective treatments available. It has practical advice on relaxation and sound therapy as well as insights into relieving the stress of auditory conditions.
