He presents not an application of Marxian categories to literary texts, but a delineation of how the phenomenon of revolution in France is refracted through two divergent series of writings. The first comprises three works by Marx: \u003ci\u003eThe Class Struggles in France 1848-1850, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Civil War in France.\u003c\/i\u003e The second consists of two exemplary nineteenth-century novels on revolution: Victor Hugo's \u003ci\u003eQuatrevingt-treize\u003c\/i\u003e and Honoré de Balzac's \u003ci\u003eLes Chouans.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mehlman also explores the limits and opportunities of reading itself.
