AbstractThis study seeks to determine the importance of Jacobus de Voragine's The Golden Legend to Emile Zola's Le rêve. Constantly referred to as the text that nourished Zola's narrative project, The Golden Legend plays a role in the triple genealogical network through which the main character constructs his identity and determines his destiny. Contrasted with Zola's painting of the Parisian world of commerce in Au bonheur des dames, the novel Le rêve reveals the author's relationship to medieval documents in an original and unexpected light.

There is a good deal of rape in naturalist fiction. But what is presented as an inevitable fact of life for women does not lead to actual stories in most narratives. Unlike the anecdotes, melodrama, serialized novels and romance fiction of the nineteenth century, naturalism offsets the pathetic and the dramas that characterize the literature of rape. The issue, in fact, is to present it as a “shared history”, whose conditions and reasons are rooted in deterministic explanations which tend, finally, to subtract rape from scandal. Zola, however, through his own specific development, discovers during the course of the Rougon-Macquart a certain taste for scandal and “dramatic” rape, which he attempts to formulate and evaluate in sometimes risqué storylines.

Zola is a writer of the fringes — the fringes of society, of cities, of peoples —, the fringes of what we call, at least on a psychological level, normal or even healthy. This double exploration is the point of departure and the center of the Rougon-Macquart, and consists of one of it's major innovations. It rests mainly on the conviction that sickness, pathological states, and life on the margins better reveal the weakness of man and society by bringing to light their hidden and problematic qualities. A study of spatiality in La fortune des Rougon, the first novel of the cycle, shows a spatial structure that brings to light the salient ideas of the series, and his vision of society. This is the “mouvement of the century,” the efforts to destroy established positions, to go from the outside in, from one group to another, and to explore the world from underneath, in all it's seething.

Focused on the Dreyfus Affair, this article puts the accent on a little known type of literature that was sold in the streets, by pedlars, at the end on the 19th century. Widely commercialized, following the main events of the national political life, this “street literature” reveals France's entry into massmedia culture.
