Book Synopsis
The essential thrust of this book is an examination of the origins and development of the satirical element of Stendal's writing in Italy, which culminates with the creation of what many critics consider to be his finest achievement, the novel La Chartreuse de Parme.

Trade Review


". . . The work as a whole becomes a kind of Resistance text containing - to pursue the author's comparison - a contrebande message for its contemporary reader, an exhortation to consider the impact of political and spiritual repression not just in Italy but in Europe generally. The links with earlier works, through which Stendhal's view of Italy has already been traced with considerable firmness and cogency, are constantly kept in play and the satirical content of La Chartreuse is thereby restated and reinforced." (Journal of European Studies)
