Stendhal |

| Marie Henri Beyle, one of the leading French novelists of the 1800s, wrote under the pseudonym Stendhal. His two most important novels are The Red and the Black (1830) and The Charterhouse of Parma (1839). In both novels a young and alienated hero pursues happiness while rebelling against repressive conventions. While Stendhal is usually considered part of the romantic movement, his use of character analysis in these novels marks him as one of the first realists in 19th-century literature. | ||||||
