Description
The premise of this thesis is that Balzac has been
unjustly dismissed, in contemporary critical studies of
fictional dialogue and psycho-narration, for his
ostensible clumsiness in describing anything other than
superficial communication. The problem is that critics, as
well as certain contemporary novelists, have not recognized
the fact that Balzac, although pre-dating modern theories
of character in fiction, was extremely aware of the
fragility, tenuousness, opacity and misunderstanding of
interpersonal communication. A close study of his novels
refutes the contemporary view.
