The Red and the Black: Study Questions

Stendhal took a lot of time and care in deciding what the title of his novel would be. He first considered Julien Sorel, since it would appropriately reflect the focus on the rise and fall of his protagonist. Stendhal's Romanticism and Realism. Labels always prove to be inaccurate, and at best they signal tendencies by which individuals may be grouped as more different than similar.

Stendhal's Romanticism and Realism

This is particularly true of writers like Stendhal, in whom mutually exclusive tendencies coexist but achieve a kind of synthesis in the author's artistic creations. Although The Red and the Black appeared during the heyday of French Romanticism and the novel and Stendhal are in many ways "romantic," Stendhal seems to absent himself from his time; while writing for the twentieth century, he perpetuates the rationalism of the seventeenth century, the empiricism of the eighteenth, and announces the re-emergence of this "scientific" spirit of later nineteenth-century Realism and Naturalism.

Case Tompkins, Libby Chernouski, Elizabeth Boyle.Summary: This resource will help you begin the process of understanding literary theory and schools of criticism and how they are used in the academy. Introduction A very basic way of thinking about literary theory is that these ideas act as different lenses critics use to view and talk about art, literature, and even culture. These different lenses allow critics to consider works of art based on certain assumptions within that school of theory.

For example, if a critic is working with certain Marxist theories, s/he might focus on how the characters in a story interact based on their economic situation. Disclaimer Please note that the schools of literary criticism and their explanations included here are by no means the only ways of distinguishing these separate areas of theory. We also recommend the following secondary sources for study of literary theory: Narratology Terms.

William Blake’s Strange Theology: An Introduction to The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Though it is not the pinnacle achievement in William Blake’s broad range of literary and art works, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell could be one of the most controversial (and offensive) widely acclaimed works of literature ever published, especially in regards to the time period in which it was written. It stands apart as one of the clearest and most concise pictures of the overarching themes and symbols throughout Blake’s works, and it is a snapshot into Blake’s theology, beliefs, and his theory on poetry. These reasons alone, despite its relatively short length, its accompanying visuals (beautiful plates that Blake painted), its striking imagery, and its many one-liners, should be enough for you to want to dive right in.
