Conclusion: Balzac's Multifaceted Legacy. 330 $aThis book examines the theoretical affiliations between the most notable proponent of literary realism, Honoré de Balzac, and two understated but key representatives of the French New Wave, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette. It argues that their film criticism, which gradually led to the establishment of a common aesthetic vision of cinema (the "politique des auteurs"), owes more to Balzac and the nineteenth-century novel than to any intellectual trend of the immediate post-war period. By considering the films of Rohmer and Rivette as an extension of their writings (essays, film reviews, scriptwriting, novels and interviews), this volume analyses the changing and sometimes opposed ways in which they applied Balzacian principles and themes to their cinematic practice. Essentially, it understands the exchange between art forms, past traditions and contemporaneous currents as the overlooked yet common thread that links these three authors, through their own re-appropriations of classical and romantic aesthetics in their explorations of modern French society. In doing so, this study provides further nuance to the "conservative" versus "progressist" rupture that is generally assumed between the two directors, and offers an innovative reading of The Human Comedy in the light of post-war ideas on authorship, film adaptation, classicism and modernism. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Adaptation and Visual Culture,$x2634-6303 606 $aAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 606 $aAdaptation Studies 615 0$aAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 14$aAdaptation Studies. 676 $a791.4302330922 676 $a791.4302330922 700 $aTavassoli Zea$b Zahra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01227009 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484474803321 996 $aBalzac Reframed$92849065 997 $aUNINA
