This book examines various aspects of the style of French novelists from Flaubert to Giono; it started with external features of vocabulary, and progressed through the effects of syntax towards imagery. This companion study takes up the exploration of the image in greater depth and over a greater range.
Once again Professor Ullmann has been careful to relate his study of detail to the context of the whole literary work; but now each novel studied is treated as a stylistic universe in its own right.

Professor Ullmann was a leading exponent of that kind of stylistic study which aims at the unification of linguistic and literary analysis.
