Andrew Rothwell is Professor of French at Swansea University.
'Andrew Rothwell captures the tone of Th`rése Raquin, reproducing
its meodramatic overstatements, accumulations and repetitions
faithfully, yet at the same time his text is inventive and abounds
in felicitous touches ... there is a thought-provoking discussion
of the text's narrative structure, its symbolic and metaphorical
patterns and the ways in which the author's exchanges with Manet
and the Impressionists coloured his descriptions.'
Joy Newton, University of Glasgow, French Studies, Vol. 47, Part

'Three Classic tales of sexual passion, perversion, and corruption
have been added to the rapidly increasing World's Classics
collection, whose repertoire of nineteenth-century French novels is
now impressive. The price and format of these volumes make them an
obvious choice for the reader approaching them in translation, the
more so since each is accompanied by a helpful general introduction
... the reader is likely to get better vaqlue here than from
other translations currently in print.'
Timothy Unwin, University of Western Australia, MLR, 89./2, 1994
