Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper focuses on Stendhal’s Mémoires d’un touriste (1838) and its eco-conscious bourgeois traveller’s exploration of the Dauphiné. Stendhal’s account of this Alpine region presents a critical stance in which the landscape is filtered through natural history, art, and recent post-revolutionary history. His resistance to a purely aesthetic experience of nature leads to a productive social model in the local populace’s sense of a land ethic: in the Dauphiné, the narrator discovers, the inhabitants can effectively live in harmony with the natural resources that they cultivate.
