Paul Bourget

    Paul Bourget was een Franse romanschrijver en essayist die reageerde tegen het naturalisme en de experimentele analytische roman inluidde. Zijn vroege werken, rijk aan genuanceerde studies van zeden en karakters, trokken de Parijse high society aan die droomde van moderniteit. Bourget verschoof later naar de 'thesis novel', waarin hij de psychologische en morele fundamenten van individuele en maatschappelijke problemen onderzocht. Zijn werk, beïnvloed door zijn bekering tot het katholicisme, trachtte geloof en wetenschap te synthetiseren en behandelde de sociale, politieke en religieuze zorgen van zijn tijd.
