Printing Details
A charming set of the three most celebrated 'Provincial' novels by René Boylesve. These works are essential for understanding the evolution of the French novel; Boylesve’s meticulous, nostalgic observation of social manners served as a direct bridge between the realism of Balzac and the psychological depth of Marcel Proust.
1. Mademoiselle Cloque, published by Calmann-Levy, Paris, undated c1925.
2. La Becquee, published by Calmann-Levy, Paris, undated c1925.
3. L'Enfant a la Balustrade, published by Calmann-Levy, Paris, undated c1925.
