This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary study argues that the art novel does not in fact disappear but rather undergoes a series of transformations in the early twentieth century, in step with radical changes in the visual arts of the period. Examining both well-known and all-but-forgotten novels, Shingler examines the ways in which they move on from their nineteenth-century predecessors, as the development of avant-garde movements makes questions of aesthetic value and authenticity ever more pressing; as changing gender roles increasingly put pressure on writers to acknowledge female creativity; and as the emergent art of the cinema comes to compete with painting as the primary visual reference point for writers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKatherine Shingler is Assistant Professor in French and Francophone Studies at the University of Nottingham.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Shingler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909662232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909662230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.44d","brand":"Katherine Shingler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058646413567,"sku":"9781909662230","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd77e4e8-67f9-4c6d-aad1-54867d546d98.jpg?v=1685053751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-french-art-novel-1900-1930-katherine-shingler-9781909662230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
