This is the first book-length study of Flaubert's use of dialogue, an important but neglected component of his fictional texts. Professor Haig's starting point is Sartre's observation that 'Flaubert does not believe that we speak: we are spoken'. Dialogue in Flaubert does not attempt to represent an individual style but to circumscribe a larger phenomenon of language. Speech defines man both in the sense that it describes him as a set of human characteristics, and inscribes him within a system of social values. The author explores the development of Flaubert's use of dialogue in Madame Bovary, L'Education Sentimentale (both versions), and Bouvard et Pécuchet.

Stendhal's great novel The Red and the Black, published in 1830, is seen as one of the most distinguished monuments of literary realism. In this introductory study, Stirling Haig shows how this realism derives from the incorporation of both history and legal reportage into the novel, and how it combines autobiography with mimesis. Professor Haig locates the novel in the context of Stendhal's own experiences as a Commissariat officer in the Napoleonic army, journalist, opera-lover, salon dandy and traveller in Italy and Restoration France, and highlights the constant inter-penetration of personal, documentary, and fictional elements in Stendhal's writings.

This collection of twelve essays written in English and French honors Victor Henri Brombert, the eminent humanist, thinker, and scholar of nineteenth- and twentieth-century European letters. Though their subjects range broadly over the literature, music, and painting of France, Russia, Italy, and Germany, many of the essays share concerns, topics, or methods, thus creating illuminating parallels and contrasts as well as internal coherence. Contributors are Simone Balay, Peter Brooks, Caryl Emerson, Jean Gaudon, Gerard Genette, Stirling Haig, Georges May, Jacques Neefs, Gerald Prince, Jean-Pierre Richard, Carol Rigolot, and Albert Sonnenfeld.
