Editor's Note:
NOVELIST AND ART HISTORIAN ANITA BROOKNER examines the art criticism of several noted eighteenth- and nineteenth-century French writers-Diderot, Stendhal, Baudelaire, Zola, the brothers Goncourt, and Huysmans.

As Brookner demonstrates, however, their views have much to offer readers interested in art history or literature.
