Zusammenfassung:
This text reassesses Edmond & Jules de Goncourts' work as both authors & etchers, arguing that their firsthand experience with printmaking fundamentally shaped their prose. Known as novelists, diarists, art historians, & collectors, the Goncourt brothers were also printmakers, producing nearly 100 etchings from 1859 until Jules' untimely death in 1870. Over the same decade, the brothers were active participants in the French etching revival, a movement that brought together artists & writers to promote etching as a cutting-edge print medium & theorize printmaking in new ways. Using an interdisciplinary approach that centres the embodied process of both etching & writing, this book identifies new intersections between word & image in the Goncourts' wide-ranging work.
