Recenzii
Balzac's Shorter Fictions is the best English-language book on Balzac to appear for at least a generation, and, in this writer's view, one of the Top Ten of all time in any language, right up there with the work of Anthony Pugh or Stéphane Vachon in terms of all-embracing, meticulous scholarship, yet as brim full of critical ideas per page as Maurice Bardèche or Pierre Barbéris at their vintage best.
... makes a major contribution to our understanding of the origins and nature of Balzacian realism ... outstanding book.
... one cannot doubt the author's credentials as a Balzac scholar of considerable learning. The knowledge of the corpus is impressive and other Balzac scholars will find much to satisfy them here, not least in the compendious footnotes which give the critical reader the clearest of maps.
... formidably well-organized study.
This is not a lightweight simple, casual study of Balzac's works but one that delves deeply into the craft of this 19th century author ... any serious student of literature would find hours of thought-provoking material at their disposal. In a time that appears to belittle the serious study of literature this is a very welcome text and one that I would highly recommend. It is indeed 'quality'.
The study is both comprehensive and accessible to all kinds of readers.
From the very outset of the book, we realise this will be a substantive study of one of France's best novelists ... reading this study was both challenging and uplifting.
This study by Tim Farrant has the word "quality" written all over it.
... ambitious and original ... short, pithily organized, and meticulously documented chapters ... Seen as a genealogy of 'Balzac polylogue' as well as an archaeology of 'Balzac conteur', this is a fascinating and important study.
