{"product_id":"9781909662230","title":"The French Art Novel 1900-1930","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe French art novel, with its tales of artists, models and creative struggles, is often thought to be a specifically nineteenth-century phenomenon, which dies out by 1900. 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\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatherine Shingler is Assistant Professor in French and Francophone Studies at the University of Nottingham.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maney Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061197422832,"sku":"9781909662230","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781909662230_p0.jpg?v=1763625394","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909662230","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
