Stendhal
French novelist. His novels Le Rouge et le Noir/The Red and the Black (1830) and La Chartreuse de Parme/The Charterhouse of Parma (1839) were pioneering works in their treatment of disguise and hypocrisy and outstanding for their psychological analysis; a review of the latter by fellow novelist Balzac (1840) furthered Stendhal's reputation, but he was not fully understood during his lifetime.
His critical works include Histoire de la peinture en Italie/History of Painting in Italy (1817), Rome, Naples et Florence/Rome, Naples and Florence (1817), Racine et Shakespeare/Racine and Shakespeare (1823–25), and Promenades dans Rome/A Roman Journal (1829). His unfinished novel Lucien Leuwen was published in 1894. Although he shared many of the literary ideas of the Romantics, he remained fiercely independent.
