TY - ECHAP A1 - Houssais, Yvon TI - La nouvelle historique, une contradiction dans les termes ? T3 - Nineteenth century studies, n° 28 in Rencontres M1 - 128 DO - 10.15122/isbn.978-2-8124-3625-3.p.0049 SN - 978-2-8124-3625-3 SP - 49 EP - 65 AB - How can the novella talk about history? “Local colour” certainly ­constitutes an impasse for the historical novella, as we see in the case of the bibliophile Jacob. To satisfy the generic codes, the writer must do the opposite: seek a maximum of dramatic ­concision, exemplarity, and a new aesthetic. We look for traces of this in the work of Mérimée and Alfred de Vigny.
