Study of the representation of clothing and fabrics through a reading of the Goncourt brothers' Journal

仔细研究《华尔街日报》，我们可以得出结论，贡考尔兄弟在他们的作品中偏爱并频繁提到服装和面料，是因为这些物品可以揭示作家们努力展示的两件事，无论是作为历史学家、作家还是作为艺术家。这分别是19世纪下半叶现代社会朴实无华的面貌，以及色彩和色彩和谐的美。贡考尔兄弟迅速而仔细地在日记中记录了服装和面料的这些方面，然后，经过进一步的思考和更坚定的信念，在他们的小说和其他作品中表现了这些方面。

Close examination of the Journal leads us to conclude that the Goncourt brothers' predilection for and frequent mention of clothing and fabrics in their works result from the fact that these objects could reveal two things that the writers strove to show, both as historians and writers and as artists. These were, respectively, the unembellished physiognomy of modern society in the second half of the 19th century, and the beauty of colours and colour harmonies. The Goncourt brothers noted down these aspects of clothing and fabrics quickly but carefully in their Journal, and then, after further reflection and with more conviction, represented them in their novels and other works.
