Barbey d’Aurevilly’s novels and short stories are reinterpreted here in light of the articles he devoted to his contemporaries, along two major lines of inquiry: the question of realism and that of ethics, politics, and religion. His oeuvre defies the criteria of modernity and invites reflection on whether it may be regarded as a “closed” body of work.
