520			_a"A History of the French Novel, Vol. 2" by George Saintsbury is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume covers the evolution of the French novel from 1800 to 1900, examining key authors, movements, and styles that shaped the literary landscape during this period. Saintsbury delves into the contributions of prominent figures, including Madame de Staël, Chateaubriand, and Balzac, discussing their narrative techniques and thematic explorations that illustrate the rich tapestry of French literature. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a detailed analysis of key transitional figures in the French novel, particularly focusing on Madame de Staël and Chateaubriand. Saintsbury reflects on the significance of their works, such as Staël's "Delphine" and "Corinne," emphasizing the change from "sensibility" to more modern forms of storytelling. He critiques Staël's narratives for their lack of humor and coherence while acknowledging her influence in shifting the literary focus of her time. By positioning these writers in the context of their historical and cultural milieu, Saintsbury begins to unpack the complexities of the French novel's development, underscoring the interactions between personal experience and broader literary trends.
