| Yhteenveto: | In this article, we seek to analyse the extent to which Eugénie Grandet develops a medical form of fiction whose symbiosis, combining romance and the production of scientific knowledge, is part of an evolution in medical theories. Under the July monarchy, Balzac used clinical cases and symptoms to create a new kind of fiction. But beyond that, the fictionalizations in this 1833 novel herald the medical, psychiatric and psychoanalytical concepts that would later be theorized in the second half of the 19th century and into the 20th. We suggest that Eugénie Grandet, at the crossroads of literature and science, offers a rigorous clinical study of the influence of the emotions and passions on physical health, thereby participating in the emergence and evolution of psychosomatic science. |
