Talk:Sarrasine

A singular, highly personal analysis of the novella would seem contrary to anyone's interest here. The citations have little to do with the content but rather represent references one might deem "name-dropping." The article should be removed / redone.

Does a large percentage of this article really consist of the quotation of a lengthy untranslated passage? That's dreadful. john k (talk) 06:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

the entire thing is dreadful —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.212.14 (talk) 04:55, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

The most dreadful thing is that this hasn't changed in almost a year. If I had read the book I'd replace the whole quote and its commentary with a terse summary of the plot. Mr0t1633 (talk) 05:16, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I would offer to translate the untranslated passage, but that alone is not going to rehabilitate this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.30.20 (talk) 22:11, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

The "context" section, with its descriptions of romanticism and realism, sounds like it was written by a high school student whose native language was not English.

Publication Date
The infobox claims Sarrasine was published in 1831, but the lead section claims it was published in 1830. Hansolo318 (talk) 14:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
