The purpose of this book is twofold: to take stock of the state of Zola's correspondence research and to open up new perspectives of reading and interpretation at a time when the Franco-Canadian edition of correspondence in eleven volumes is completed, and where the letters written by Zola to Jeanne Rozerot and Alexandrine Zola are published. The latter have been the subject of several analyzes that deepen the writing of the intimate, a perspective that until then was nonexistent in Zolian criticism of correspondence; these studies also shed light on hitherto unknown elements, the details of the stages of Zola's engagement in the Dreyfus affair and his daily life during his exile in England (C. Grenaud-Tostain, J.- M. Pottier, S. Guermes). But this volume also provides an opportunity to address other new aspects, such as the correspondence received and unpublished (A. Pag�s, M. Ayni�) or the epistolary collaboration between Zola, Alfred Bruneau and Louis Gallet (J.-S Macke), to cross the approaches, in a sociological (F. Giraud), linguistic (J. Rachwalska von Rejchwald) or aesthetic (L. Riou) perspective; finally, to analyze Zola's epistolary exchanges with his peers, elders (B. Donatelli) or cadets (K. Watanabe), his provisional disciples (K. Basilio) or his translators in England (G. Woollen). Rachwalska von Rejchwald) or aesthetics (L.
