How can the novella talk about history? “Local colour” certainly constitutes an impasse for the historical novella, as we see in the case of the bibliophile Jacob. To satisfy the generic codes, the writer must do the opposite: seek a maximum of dramatic concision, exemplarity, and a new aesthetic. We look for traces of this in the work of Mérimée and Alfred de Vigny.
