The article offers an overview of Stendhal and less a discussion on the above-cited text.

“Stendhal (1783–1842) (Marie Henri Beyle Stendhal) French novelist, whose debut work, Armance, appeared to critical scorn in 1827. Today, Stendhal is regarded as a major precursor of psychological realism. His masterpiece, Scarlet and Black (1830), focuses on Julian Sorel, an anti‐hero whose ironic detachment from Parisian society satirizes 19th‐century bourgeois morality. His other great work is Charterhouse of Parma (1839).”
