Balzac's Shorter Fictions

Genesis and Genre

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Balzac's reputation is as a novelist. But short stories make up over half La Com die humaine, besides scores of other tales and articles. Balzac's Shorter Fictions looks at the whole of this corpus, at the nature of short fiction, and at how Balzac's novels developed from his stories--at the links between literary genesis and genre.
