ABOUT NOVEL TRANSFORMATION - MACIEJ ZUROWSKIS REFLECTIONS

Maciej Zurowski studies evolution of the novel from 18th until 20th century and novel techniques, based on great novels of the 18th and 19th century, like 'Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie' (The Script Found in Saragossa) by Jan Potocki, 'Le rouge et le noir' (Red and Black) and 'La Chartreuse de Parme' (Charter House of Parma) by Stendhal as well as 'Madame Bovary' (Mrs. Bovary) and 'L'education sentimentale: histoire d'un jeune homme' (Sentimental Education) by Flaubert. In the authoress' opinion these works foreshadow the 20th century novel esthetics. Maciej Zurowski also focuses on connections of the novel with other arts.
