J.-H. Rosny Aîné et le roman des « âges farouches »

J.-H. Rosny Aîné drew the forms and contents of his prehistoric novels from the aesthetic fashions (naturalism, impressionism) and the scientific (prehistory), philosophical (evolutionism) and ideological (progress) doctrines of the nineteenth century. A melting pot of this knowledge, the novel of the "prehistoric ages" translates the spirit of an era of transition.
