	Howard’s rendering by Martin Greenberg
		f The Charterhouse of Parma (1859) is not the greatest work in that great body of literature which is the French realistic novel of the nineteenth century—and more than one good critic has thought it so—it is surely the most brilliant.
		But the Charterhouse also goes back to the sixteenth century in finding the germ of its story of love (love inflected marvelously in a variety of ways) and intrigue in an old Italian manuscript.
		Its stupidities, which Stendhal treats with an urbane, amused irony that nevertheless has lively indignation behind it, are the vanity and cruelty and crimes of the petty kingdom’s ruler; the venality and servility of officials; the police-mind and the newspeak language of government; the emptiness of political parties; and the lying on all sides.

		As such, it is also best to race through The Charterhouse of Parma, non-stop (if you can), and to battle your way, saber held aloft, through The Red and the Black.
		In the latter case - that is say, what is to come - we hear the low, faintly-discernible, yet impassioned call of The Charterhouse of Parma (1839), a landmark that only emerged from Stendhal’s impassioned imagination after The Red and the Black (1830), and, according to legends about his method of composition, non-stop.
		Stendhal writes in the fictionalized Foreword of The Charterhouse of Parma that this tale, arguably his finest work, was written “in the winter of 1830,” when, in fact, it was dictated between November 4 and December 26 of 1838.

	Tragic and Melodramatic: A Profile of Stendhal
		Everything came together in Stendhal's mind and on November 4, 1838 he shut himself away in his apartment in Paris and began dictating what was to be The Charterhouse of Parma.
		Unfortunately, the publisher wanting to keep costs down, kept asking Stendhal to tighten his manuscript which may well account for the singularly abrupt last chapter in which the eponymous charterhouse is introduced for the first time in the next to last paragraph of the long novel.
		In The Charterhouse of Parma, Fabrizio del Dongo is barely seventeen when he sets forth from Italy for Waterloo to take part, he fervently dreams, in the great battle.

	Dalkey Archive Press: An Interview with Raymond Queneau
		"The Charterhouse of Parma" and "War and Peace" are novels of the Iliad genre, not because they tell of battles, like Homer (that counts, too), but because the important things are the characters plunged into history and the conflict between characters and history; for example, the work of Proust is also an Iliad.
		Bouvard and Pecuchet as well find themselves as they were at the beginning of the novel since the book's conclusion is that they start to copy again, just as Ulysses returns to be the king of his little island.
		Rabelais also, certainly Rabelais is an Odyssey; "The Red and the Black" is an Odyssey, whereas "The Charterhouse of Parma" seems to me to be an Iliad.
