The Red and the Black: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions)
Based again on Robert M. Adams€s highly regarded translation of Stendhal€s 1831 novel of ambition, love, and betrayal, this Second Norton Critical Edition of The Red and the Black is the most comprehensive and up-to-date edition available.
An extensively revised €œBackgrounds and Contexts€ section provides geographical and political insights into mid-nineteenth century France and places the novel in the context of contemporary authors and works. A map of 1830s France, political and literary chronologies, an account of the trial of Antoine Berthet, and related writings by Stendhal, Paul Val©ry, and Jules Janin are included.
