- This monograph of c. 75k words is the outcome of a three-year Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship. It is the first book-length study charting the development of the art novel genre in France post–1900. Working across literary and visual cultures, the study gives in-depth consideration to the relationship between art fiction and art criticism, and places the novels under consideration within the context of early twentieth-century art movements such as Cubism and Surrealism. Primary research into a number of forgotten and neglected texts (such as Camille Mauclair’s La Ville lumière) was conducted at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
