Book Description:

Texts about paintings, painters and sculptors are obvious test cases for issues of representation. A significant corpus of artist stories is scattered through Honoré de Balzac's Comédie humaine which, from Marx to Lukács to Roland Barthes's enormously influential S/Z (1970), has been a key literary work for critical debates around French realism.
