Having treated the scourge of alcoholism in L’Assommoir, Emile Zola then broached the problem of prostitution as part of a wider reflection on society. Both a product and symbol of the Second Empire which engendered her, Nana takes on a mythical dimension, far from any miserabilist excesses and romantic idealization.
