The Melodramatic Imagination Balzac Henry James and the Mode of Excess
Author: Peter Brooks
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.
