Barnes and Noble. 1963. — 315 p. — ISBN: 0837194598, 9780837194592.This book examines various aspects of the style of French novelists from Flaubert to Giono; it started with external features of vocabulary, and progressed through the effects of syntax towards imagery. This companion study takes up the exploration of the image in greater depth and over a greater range.Once again Professor Ullmann has been careful to relate his study of detail to the context of the whole literary work; but now each novel studied is treated as a stylistic universe in its own right.ContentsThe development of Gide's imagery
The symbol of the sea in Le Grand Meaulnes
The metaphorical texture of a Proustian novel
The two styles of Camus
