Romanticism and its Discontents

Publié le par François Blumenfeld

Paru récemment chez Penguin Books, Londres (édition originale chez Viking, 2000), Romanticism and its Discontents d'Anita Brookner.

Quatrième de couverture (extrait) :

Acclaimed art historian and Booker-Prize winner Anita Brookner tells the story of French Romanticism in the nineteenth century through the lives and works of nine of its principal exponents: Delacroix, Ingres, Gros, the brothers Goncourt, Baudelaire, Zola, Musset and Huysmans. In providing a vivid portrait of the passions that drove these painters and writers, she brilliantly explores the ideals that they tried to uphold in their lives and in their works.
