Notes: Jews appear in several of Balzac’s novels and stories. For guidance in this area, see Ketty Kupfer, Les Juifs de Balzac: essai (Paris, 2001); Francine Schlamowitz Grodzinsky, The Golden Scapegoat: Portrait of the Jew in the Novels of Balzac (Troy, N.Y., 1989). See, for example, The Harlot’s Progress (Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes). Translated by James Waring. (Esther van Gobseck in Jewish on her mother’s side), or The Seamy Side of History (L’envers de l’histoire contemporaine) and Other Stories. Translated by Clara Bell (Moïse Halpersohn is a Jewish doctor of Polish origin). The translators vary. George Saintsbury contributed a preface to each volume. The set’s contents and its distribution of titles can be gleaned from the general index found at the end of The Prince of Bohemia, and Other Stories (1900), often treated by owning libraries as vol. [33]. Title taken from the spine.
