Zola's Crowds

Naomi Schor

4.9/5 (29761 ratings)

Description:“This book is and is not about Zola's crowds, or rather is about but not on them. This ambiguity is evident in the books I have chosen, which include, alongside the conventional "crowd-fictions" in the Zola canon ( Germinal, La Débâcle), works in which the crowd plays a purely peripheral or potential role ( La Conquête de Plassans, Le Docteur Pascal). It is also apparent in the general movement of the book: in each of the chapters and subsections—which can be read without reference to the others—my trajectory is identical, moving through the descriptive toward the speculative. [...] In short, in my perspective the crowd is not a strandlike theme which can or should be detached from the fabric of the text, but an Ariadne's thread drawing one deeper into the maze, a structuring theme which engages all of Zola's fiction. When studied in the light of current critical methodologies and epistemological preoccupations, Zola's crowds are the royal way to an understanding of some of the fundamental questions which obsessed Émile Zola (as well, of course, as his contemporaries Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Sigmund Freud). And these are the anxieties of origin and difference.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
