    The Melodramatic Imagination: Balzac, Henry James, Melodrama, and the Mode of Excess By Peter Brooks
    1995 | 251 Pages | ISBN: 0300065531 | PDF | 23 MB


    This text argues that melodrama is a crucial mode of expression in modern literature. After studying stage melodrama as a dominant popular form in the 1800s, the author looks at Balzac and Henry James, to show how these realist novelists created fiction using rhetoric and excess of melodrama.
