Henri-Marie Beyle (23 Januari 1783 – 23 Maret 1842), dikenal dengan nama pena-nya Stendhal, adalah seorang penulis Prancis abad ke-19. Dikenal karena analisisnya mengenai psikologi karakternya, ia dianggap sebagai salah satu orang pertama yang mempraktikkan realisme dalam dua novelnya Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black, 1830) dan La Chartreuse de Parme (The Charterhouse of Parma, 1839).

Referensi

[2]"Passion was his raison d'être, and that surely is the religion of all romantics-- exaltation through the passions... Stendhal was a product of the Napoleonic age, when the French saw themselves as world conquerors, and his attitude was such. But putting that aside one must admit that La Chartreuse is a good book in the romantic tradition... few men have conveyed passion with such intensity as he has... [examples] His description of their emotional frenzy is magnificent... Stendhal never became sentimental and soft the way Thackeray did, especially over women; in his greatest extravagance he remains hard and glittering... but Thackeray has something which Stendhal did not have: humour."
