1 My contention is that Joyce himself may well have been a more attentive reader of Balzac than he cared to admit and that the Comédie Humaine, especially in its presentation of the social and economic dynamics of metropolitan life, often seems to prefigure certain aspects of Joyce’s early works. The possibility of such a connection has so far been neglected, it seems, not only because of Joyce’s negative comments, but also because Balzac’s impact on English literature has been largely obscured by that of later French novelists like Flaubert.
