A Semiotic Analysis of the Use of Colors in Stendhalian and Other Novels

King (foreign languages, Gannon U., Pennsylvania) examines the evolution of French writer Stendahl's (1783-1842) title Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black), both in works leading up to the 1830 novel and in those following it, in order to explore literary and socio-cultural implications suggested in its use. She seeks to establish the many possible significance or connotations of the color words both within and between texts, and to study their semiology in other important literature that followed, particularly by Zola, Simone de Beauvoir, and Claude Mauriac. The text is double spaced. Quotations are in French, with translations appended. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
