Bringing together literary scholars, historians and sociologists, this volume examines the conditions that allowed the Balzacian novel to lay the foundations for a sociological analysis of reality. It also studies the links between this new sociological realism and theories forged by sociology between the end of the nineteenth century and the present day.
