Reviews for Flaubert, Zola, and the Incorporation of Disciplinary Knowledge (Palgrave Studies in Modern European Literature)
“It provides invaluable insights into the debates and power struggles that occupy the scientific and medical world in nineteenth-century France. Furthermore, it helps us reconsider how we conceive of the connection, central to all realisms, between the physiological body and the many texts, fictional or not, that discuss it.” (Martine Gantrel, Modern Language Review, Vol. 111 (3), July, 2016)
