La musique dans les romans du dix-huitième siècle : théories et enjeux

Abstract

How can we understand, on a theoretical level, the presence of music in the French novels of the eighteenth-century? This article examines this question in the light of prevailing theories on the presence of music and prose fiction. By identifying major discrepancies between the two, the aim is to provide a different theoretical basis for our understanding of music in eighteenth-century French narrative.
