| Summary | "Balzac" by Frederick Lawton is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and influence of Honoré de Balzac, a prominent figure in 19th-century literature known for his vast series of novels titled "La Comédie Humaine." The narrative delves into Balzac's experiences and the societal changes in France that shaped his writing, providing insight into his character and the literary landscape of the time. The opening of the work introduces readers to the tumultuous social context of France in the early 19th century, likening it to a society attempting to recover from the ruins of an earthquake. Lawton sets the stage by discussing the impact of the French Revolution and subsequent political upheavals on the landscape of literature and culture. He emphasizes that Balzac's life was intrinsically linked to his writing, suggesting that understanding the author's personal journey is essential for fully appreciating his literary contributions. Through an exploration of Balzac's upbringing and literary influences, the opening chapters paint a portrait of a man deeply engaged with the complexities of humanity and society, preparing the reader for the detailed analysis that follows.
