Long abstractEdmond de Goncourt’s La maison d’un artiste (1881) is a difficult work to classify within the large body of Goncourt non-fiction, primarily because it seems to sit astride generic boundaries, incorporating elements of some of the brothers’ better-known projects, notably art historical works like L’ art du XVIIIe siècle and their voluminous journals. It is a catalogue, characterized by long lists of objects and possessions, but it is nonetheless stylized, not only because long narrative passages recounting key episodes related to the collections under discussion accompany the lists, but also because the lists themselves only rarely read as such. What the reader finds in the pages of its two volumes is not only documentary text, but also paragraphs of prose that serve as a record while maintaining a readability that is lacking in most other contemporary catalogues, including those prepared to accompany the eventual sales of the Goncourt collections.
