For the first time in English translation, notes are given that explain the book's local allusions & concealed autobiographical reminiscences. Students interested in the backgrounds of the novel may read the newspaper account, for the first time in English, of the murder trial upon which some of the novel's events are founded. Other materials on Stendhal's style & on the 1830s background, are also provided. As with all Norton Critical Editions in Continental literature, a number of commentaries are here translated for the first time: Henri Martineau, Jean Prevost, George Poulet, Jean-Pierre Richard, G. Tomasi di Lampedusa, Alain, Paul Valery, Paul Bourget, & Hippolyte Taine. Oother critics are Erich Auerbach, Rene Girard, F.W.J. Hemmings, Jean-Paul Sartre, Andre Gide, Marcel Proust, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jose Ortega y Gasset, & Robert M. Adams * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR & EDITOR: ROBERT M.
