A gothic tale of murder and adultery, Thérèse Raquin was denounced as
pornography on its publication in 1867. "Putrid literature" was how
Louis Ulbach described the novel in a contemporary review. Zola
defended himself against these attacks in his preface to the second
edition, in which he outlined his aim to produce a new, "scientific"
form of realism. The novel marks a crucial step in Zola's development
and is a major early work of Naturalism.
Brian Nelson is currently Professor of French at Monash University,
Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of several other books on Zola,
including Emile Zola: A Selective Analytical Bibliography.
