| Abstract: | The revival of interest in Balzac among the English-reading public in the late 1960' s and in the 1970's - attested to, for example, by the success of new translations by Donald Adamson, Marion Crawford, Herberc J. Hunt, Rayner Heppenstall, and others - has raised once again the question of how reliable Balzac is as a student of historical manners. Though Balzac has never been considered a mere historical impressionist doubts have sometimes been expressed about the authenticity of some of his portraiture. Usually it is for 'exaggeration' that Balzac is faulted. |
