"The literati's enthrallment with medicine and their subservient adoption of a medical model in the creation of their plots and characters have not previously been seriously questioned, In Medical Examinations.
Mary Donaldson-Evans corrects this oversight, Exploring six novels and two short stories published during the Second Empire and the early Third Republic, she argues that there was a growing resistance to medicine's linguistic and professional hegemony, a resistance fraught with ideological implications. Tainted by a subtle - and sometimes not so subtle - anti-Semitism, some of the fiction of this period adopts counterdiscursive strategies to tar the physician with his own brush.
Featured authors include Gustave Flaubert, Edmond and Jules Goncourt, Emile Zola, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Guy de Maupassant, and Alphonse and Leon Daudet."--BOOK JACKET.
