Eugénie Grandet (1833) is one of Honoré de Balzac's most celebrated novels, part of his vast La Comédie humaine cycle. Eugénie has no legal or social autonomy; her fate is controlled by men and money. Modeste Mignon (1844) is also part of La Comédie humaine. Modeste's fantasy life is shaped by books and poetry; she falls for an idealized image rather than a real person, a critique of literary Romanticism itself.
