Book summaryCelebrated novelist Anita Brookner, who is also a respected art historian, writes about the French Romantics--writers and painters--examining, in particular, Baudelaire, de Musset, Ingres, Delacroix, the Goncourts, Zola, and Huysmans. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000. Media reviews"This deliberately unheroic history of romantic heroes may not immediately be recognised as an original study of a well-worn subject. The absence of showy erudition and ideological servility, and the refusal to agonise over imponderables will not endear it to every academic student of Romanticism. At the same time, the complete lack of references makes it difficult to verify questionable statements....The overall picture, however, is memorable and convincing." |
