Synopsis
Excerpt from The Middle Classes (Les Petits Bourgeois)
If we suppose that he actually finished it, or that he left with it and with the Député distinct instructions to Rabou for its completion, we may observe some things of interest about the pair. One is their very great length as com pared with most of their fellows. Only three other num bers of the Comédie Illusion: Perdues, Le: Célibataires, and Splendeur: at de: Courtisane: equal them in general length, and all these three are practically collections of separate tales, with a certain community of subject. But it must also be remembered that La Cousim Bette, their greatest and most immediate forerunner, is much longer than any other undivided single book. And from this, I think, it is not improper to infer that Balzac was experi encing a leaning towards longer stories, which might have had distinct results if he had gone on.
