Balzac's shorter fictions : genesis and genre

Bok av Tim Farrant
Balzac's reputation is as a novelist. But short stories make up over half La Comdie humaine. Balzac's Shorter Fictions explores this corpus, the nature of short fiction, and how Balzac's novels developed from his stories. It is an indispensable book for students and scholars of Balzac, and for all those interested in prose fiction.
