Following the order of the novels projected in La Comédie humaine, Allan H. Pasco investigates how Balzac used art as a tool of social inquiry to obtain startlingly accurate insights into the relationships that defined his turbulent society. His repeated claim to be an "historian of manners" was more than an empty boast. Though Balzac was first and foremost a great novelist, he was also a trailblazing sociologist, joining Henri de Saint-Simon and the subsequent Auguste Comte in considering the relationships that represent society as an interacting, interlocking web. Using a methodology that combines close analysis with a broad cultural context, Pasco demonstrates that Balzac's sociological vision was extraordinarily pertinent to both his and our days. 000763284 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000763284 650_0 $$aFrench literature$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000763284 650_0 $$aFrench literature$$y19th century$$xSocial aspects. 000763284 650_0 $$aNovelists, French$$y19th century. 000763284 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tBalzac, Literary Sociologist.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : Palgrave Macmillan 2016$$z9783319393322$$w(OCoLC)948561357 000763284 852__ $$bebk 000763284 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-39333-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000763284 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:763284$$pGLOBAL_SET 000763284 980__ $$aEBOOK 000763284 980__ $$aBIB 000763284 982__ $$aEbook 000763284 983__ $$aOnline 000763284 994__ $$a92$$bISE
