Stendhal: Fiction and the Themes of Freedom (1968; Midway Reprint 1976) considers themes of personal and political freedom in the major works of Stendhal, both fiction and autobiography. It proceeds via careful and nuanced close readings of passages, paying particular attention to style and tone. Brombert contends that Stendhal is clearer than any writer before him on the "crisis and contradiction of modern humanism that [. . .] render political freedom illusory." Paradoxically, Stendhal's heroes often feel most free when in prison. Victor Brombert has spend a lifetime reading and teaching the great French author; here, by focusing on themes of inner freedom and outer constraints, he offers insightful readings of the work and the life. In his new Introduction, Brombert reviews his earliest encounters with Stendhal.
