In the novels of Emile Zola, the pain and horror of working class life was pushed into the drawing rooms of polite society. Zola set out to shock and to question the assumptions of fiction and of comfortable, settled lives. The impact of his writing was far wider than France, and his attacks on the pillars of society gave him an international reputation.First published in 1985, this biography of Zola does much more than simply describe Zola as a writer, and his literary impact.
It brings together the many strands of Zola's life and creates an impression of a remarkable, if often exasperating individualist.This book will be of interest to those studying the works of Emile Zola and more broadly nineteenth-century and French literature.
