La Physiognomonie dans l'oeuvre de Barbey d'Aurevilly

by Reto Zollner

Overview

Ever since Antiquity, the correlation between a person's physical appearance and character has fascinated authors. Barbey d'Aurevilly occupies a key position in the acceptance of physiognomic theories, and he puts these at the service of a literature which plays on the dialectic between mystery and transparency.
