Balzac lector de Walter Scott Bernini, Emilio Novela histórica Scott Recepción crítica Balzac Amor, pasión y política Domesticación del gótico Historical novel Scott Critical reception Balzac Love, passion and politics Domestication of the Gothic This paper puts forward some propositions about the critical reception of Walter Scott's historical novel by Honoré de Balzac, in the 1820s and 1830s, on the axis of his novels Waverley and Les Chouans, respectively. The first proposition refers to the critical operation by which Scott's historical novel configures in Balzac the objective of the historical narration of manners, which is articulated in the system of The Human Comedy as “Études de Moeurs”. Secondly, this same critique, which extends to the historical novel of the French Romantics (Hugo, Vigny, Mérimée), implies the definition of a "historical realism", a representation of common life in history rather than great political events. Thirdly, Balzac receives from Scott a conception of the passion of love as constitutively political, as well as a historical, dynamic understanding of language. Finally, the realisms of both authors are shaped, in part, by operations of "domestication" of Gothic literature. Este trabajo plantea algunas proposiciones en torno a la recepción crítica de la novela histórica de Walter Scott por parte de Honoré de Balzac, en las décadas de 1820 y 1830, sobre el eje de sus novelas Waverley y Los Chuanes, respectivamente. La primera proposición se refiere a operación crítica por la cual la novela histórica scottiana configura en Balzac el objetivo de la narración histórica de las costumbres, que se articula en el sistema de La comedia humana como “Estudios de Costumbres”. En segundo lugar, esa misma crítica, que se extiende a la novela histórica de los románticos franceses coetáneos (Hugo, Vigny, Mérimée) implica la definición de un “realismo histórico”, una representación de la vida común en la historia más que de los grandes acontecimientos políticos. En tercera instancia, Balzac recibe de Scott una concepción de la pasión del amor como constitutivamente política, así como una comprensión histórica, dinámica, del lenguaje. Por último, los realismos de las literaturas de ambos autores se configuran, en parte, por medio de operaciones de “domesticación” de la literatura gótica.
