In order to demonstrate the importance of incongruity and disorder, Pappas brings together two worlds that may seem incompatible: nineteenth-century literary writers involved in naturalism and the organization of permanent collections of later nineteenth-century French art in today\u0026amp;#x2019;s museums. Drawing on the art novels and art criticism of these writers, the book provides optimal access to the questions that continue to haunt the categorization and display of nineteenth-century art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eNote on Translations and Previously Published Material\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Naturalism, Eclecticism, and Organizing the Nineteenth Century\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
