    Abstract: Bien qu'il soit surtout connu pour son œuvre fondatrice d'écrivain, J.R.R. Tolkien était également un universitaire réputé, spécialiste d'anglais médiéval, philologue, polyglotte. Son légendaire, autant que ses travaux académiques, n'ont de cesse de toucher au cœur du langage et du récit - qu'ils considèrent comme inextricablement liés - et en dévoilent des aspects multiples et divers, qu'il serait impossible d'épuiser. Si, dans l'imaginaire collectif, l'affiliation bien réelle de l'œuvre tolkienienne au genre littéraire de la fantasy paraît en exclure une approche plus académique, de nombreux travaux (thèses, ouvrages, articles, colloques...) ne lui en ont pas moins été consacrés depuis plus d'une vingtaine d'années

    Gerard Manley Hopkins : The Classical Background and Critical Reception of His Work (2019)

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1966. In his lifetime, Gerard Manley Hopkins was known as a poet only by a small circle of his friends. More than any other major Victorian writer, he was recovered and presented as a poet to modern readers by editors and scholars of the first half of the twentieth century. This book analyzes how and to what extent the presuppositions of these critics have dictated the modern conception of Hopkins's work. Bender seeks to dispel, once and for all, the notion that Hopkins was a naïf poet. He provides an analysis of classical Greek and Latin rhetoric relative to the classical background of Hopkins's style and the structure in his poetry. He maintains that especially in Hopkins's more extreme work, such as "The Wreck of the Deutschland," there are precedents for the structure of the poem itself, the structure of the sentences within the poem, and its sensual and obscure imagery in the classical literature that Hopkins knew so well.Bender's study suggests two highly controversial positons: first, that although Hopkins is one of the most original voices in English, his poetry is within a tradition insufficiently recognized by modern critics; and second, that the effect of careful and sympathetic study of classical literature can induce quite the opposite of a neoclassical style in English

    Karl der Große im Norden : Rezeption französischer Heldenepik in den altostnordischen Handschriften (2019)

    Abstract: Karl der Große gehört zu den dynamischsten literarischen Gestalten des europäischen Mittelalters. Die altfranzösische Karlsdichtung wurde dabei in kompilierter Form auch im Norden rezipiert: Als Karlamagnús saga liegt sie im Altwestnordischen vor, als Karl Magnus im Altschwedischen und Karl Magnus Krønike im Altdänischen. Durch Kontextualisierung der Karlsdichtung in den fünf überlieferten ostnordischen Handschriften aus dem 15. Jahrhundert werden intertextuelle Bezüge sichtbar, die zur Klärung der Frage beitragen, warum Karl der Große im Norden einerseits als aristokratischer Held, andererseits als Heiliger rezipiert wurde. Neben der philologischen Lektüre der altschwedischen, altdänischen und altfranzösischen Texte tragen vor allem kulturwissenschaftliche Ansätze aus den Feldern Memory Studies, Gender Studies sowie aus der Alteritätsforschung dazu bei, den Transfer scheinbar stabiler Konzepte wie Identität, Geschlecht und Alterität in der mittelalterlichen Literatur des Nordens nachzuvollziehen

    Abstract: Originally published in 1976. In The Romantic Sublime Thomas Weiskel investigates the concept of the sublime in the poetry of English Romantic writers. His work infuses elements of structuralism and psychological thought in his attempt to describe and demystify the sublime experience-or, in his words, to "desublimate the sublime." In doing so, he demonstrates that the sublime is largely mystified, and he contrasts those with faith in the awesomeness of sublimation and those who remain skeptical of the sublime's mystifying power. In working to demystify the sublime, Weiskel emphasizes the task of intelligence by assigning morality and intellect the value of mistrust in sublimation

    The Fictions of Satire (2019)

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1967. In this study of the English Augustan satirists, and the Roman and subsequent authors who were their models, Professor Paulson shows how rhetoric relates to imitation, persuasion to presentation, and the imitation of the satirist to the imitation of the satiric object. He illustrates the tendency of the satirist to invade his own fiction and imitate not the prime object of his satire but the satiric persona, which consequently takes on a life of its own. By analyzing the satiric fictions of the precursors of the Augustans, the author reveals the elements they bequeathed to those who rode the high crest of the satiric wave in England, before the art of satire became submerged in the deepening trough of sentimental romanticism.Paulson shows the Tories Dryden, Pope, and Swift and the Whigs Addison and Steele to be the heirs of a long line of satirists ancient and modern, from Horace, Juvenal, Lucian, Apuleius, and Petronius to Rabelais, Cervantes and the English Elizabethan and Civil War poets. Taking Swift as his main example, Paulson examines the dualism of satire in its most interesting and ambiguous modes, and as the embodiment of rhetorical devices that are as complex mimetically as they are rhetorically

    Abstract: «Si risponde lavorando». Letters between 1941 and 1992. In 1941, Macrí was a notorious scholar, while Spagnoletti only a debutant poet, but their knowledge of books and magazines brought them to an intense exchange of letters, which would be interrupted in 1956 due to profound disagreements on poetry and on the assessment of Hermeticism. This correspondence, fully transcribed and carefully enriched by Andrea Giusti's notes, retraces that intellectual relationship in some decisive years of Italian history. With Fascism, war and reconstruction as a background, there is the rise of the ferment underlying cultural collaborations, of Spagnoletti's anthologist activity and of Macrí's studies on comparative literature and Spanish, which led him to become more sensitive and open towards European culture

    The Poetics of Jacobean Drama (2019)

    ISBN: 9781421434315
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (280 p.)
    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1982. The Poetics of Jacobean Drama argues for a rediscovered approach to the study of Renaissance drama. Coburn Freer observes that most modern criticism of this drama treats the plays as if they were written in prose, thus overlooking whole areas of dramatic meaning that were understood in the past. Such an understanding, he asserts, was common among writers, actors, audiences, and readers of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, and a knowledge of it is essential to a full appreciation of the characterization and dramatic structures in these plays. Freer explores the evolution of the modern reluctance to approach Renaissance drama as one would dramatic poetry-from the standpoint of a listener. Blank verse, the author shows, provided Jacobean dramatists with a poetic form against which they could work the pressures of experience within their characters. The writers' ability to work with and against this form provided infinite resources for delineating character and creating significant coherences in the structure of a play. The Poetics of Jacobean Drama offers insights into what the Renaissance writer, actor, and playgoer would have regarded as the domain of poetry in drama. Topics discussed include the conditions of stage performance and the style of acting, Elizabethan education, the rise of printed texts and collected editions, and the comments of Elizabethan audiences and readers. Freer's commentary and theoretical explanations suggest both why and how we should pay closer attention to the poetry of Renaissance drama

    Mark Twain as Critic (2019)

    Language: Undetermined

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1967. Mark Twain's literary criticism is a significant branch of his writing that is relatively less explored and appreciated than his other writing. Sydney Krause analyzes the full range of Twain's criticism, much of which has lain neglected in notebooks, letters, marginalia, and autobiographical dictations. This body of work demonstrates that, in addition to being an acute critic given to close reading, Twain thought enough of his criticism to present much of it in an enveloping literary form. In his early criticism Twain used the mask of an ignorant fool (or Muggins), while in his later criticism he used the mask of a world-weary malcontent (or Grumbler). The resulting cross fire from extremes of innocence and experience proved effective against a wide range of literary targets. The Muggins dealt mainly with theater, journalism, oratory, and popular poetry; the grumbler with such writers as Goldsmith, Cooper, Scott, and Hare. Much of this criticism was an outgrowth of Twain's romanticism and therefore has importance for the history of American realism. Mark Twain's criticism was not wholly depreciatory, however. He liked Macaulay, Howells, Howe, Zola, and Wilbrandt, for example, because he found in some of their works the realization of history as an immediate presence. The evidence presented in this book challenges the view that Twain was not a serious student of the craft of writing; he possessed the combination of sensitivity and judgment that all great critics have

The author brings to bear several hitherto unused source materials on Malory's work and offers new analyses of his authorial purposes. Lumiansky argues that Malory wrote a single unified book rather than eight separate tales. The source of Malory's story is an Old French romance known as the Suite du Merlin. Lumiansky traces Malory's originality through Malory's treatment of the main generic features of the Suite du Merlin

    Abstract: Originally published in 1992. In an age when genteel women wrote little more than personal letters, how did Jane Austen manage to become a novelist? Was she an isolated genius who rose to fame through sheer talent? Did she draw strength from the support of her family or from women writers who went before her? In Jane Austen among Women, Deborah Kaplan argues that these explanations are either misleading or insufficient. Austen, Kaplan contends, participated actively in a women's culture that promoted female authority and achievement-a culture that not only helped her become a novelist but also influenced her fiction

    Abstract: The murder of Emanuele Notarbartolo, former director of the Banco di Palermo, at the hands of the Sicilian Mafia in 1893 represents a controversial and obscure event in Italian history. There were three trials (Milan, Bologna, Florence), which also involved a Sicilian deputy: Raffaele Palizzolo. Anna Franchi's documentation work takes place in the Assize court of Florence: she attended every hearing, and observed relentlessly both the 'Mafia' phenomenon and the actual theatre of testimonies, confessions, retractions and false tracks characterising the trial in Florence (1903-1904). It was possible to widely integrate Franchi's account after the discovery of the entire folder relating to the process in the State Archives of Florence: about 1500 handwritten pages by the various chancellors dealing with the trial. The trial ended in a general acquittal for principals and executors for lack of evidence. For some, Sicily's honour was safe, but for many others, the truth was forever covered up

    Abstract: Originally published in 1988. Edgar Dryden challenges recent criticism that has tended to discredit-or at least devalue-the importance of "romance" as a thematic and generic category of American fiction. In The Form of American Romance, he examines its evolution and meaning through readings of five exemplary texts: Hawthorne's Marble Faun, Melville's Pierre, James's Portrait of a Lady, Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom!, and Barth's Letters. Each of these novels treats the problems of reading and writing in a self-referential way that reflects on the questions they dramatize, and Dryden has chosen each with the others in mind. Taken together, they chart a line of development with representative examples of what literary history calls romanticism, realism, modernism, and postmodernism, and thus they suggest a certain story about the continuity of the American novel

    Abstract: Das Werk der schwedischen Buchkünstlerin Elsa Beskow (1874-1953) wird erstmals auf seine materiellen Aspekte (wie Papier, Formate, Paratexte und Farbe) hin untersucht. Dabei wird - aufgrund der Gestaltung der Bücher - nach einer eigenen Lese- und Schreibpädagogik der Künstlerin gefragt. Das Thema des Lesens und Schreibens wird in einen (kunst)-historischen Kontext eingebettet und mit internationalen Bildungsbestrebungen verglichen. Im Fokus der Untersuchung stehen ausgewählte Bilder- sowie ihre Lesebücher, die für die schwedische Volksschule gestaltet wurden. Die Studie richtet sich an Fachpersonen (Skandinavistinnen und Kunsthistoriker), aber auch an pädagogische Fachpersonen, welche die Bilderbücher für den Unterricht anwenden (Kindergarten/Unterstufe). Allgemein zeigt die Untersuchung auf, dass der Gestaltung/Materialität von Büchern sowohl beim Lesen und Schreiben Lernen wie auch in einer ästhetischen Auffassung eine bedeutende Rolle zukommt

    Abstract: Im Jahr 1968 richteten die Universitäten Basel und Zürich ein gemeinsames Ordinariat für Nordische Philologie ein. Themen der nordischen Sprachen und Literaturen hatten zwar bereits früher an Schweizer Universitäten im Rahmen der Germanistik und Anglistik zum Lehrplan gehört. Aber erst mit der Schaffung eines Lehrstuhls und zweier nordistischer Abteilungen wurde es möglich, Nordistik bzw. Skandinavistik als Fach zu studieren. Die vorliegende Publikation stellt die für kleine Fächer paradigmatische Geschichte der Schweizer Nordistik der letzten fünfzig Jahre in den Grundzügen dar. Beschrieben werden in knapper Form die Vorgeschichte seit dem 19. Jahrhundert und die Hintergründe, die zur Errichtung der beiden Abteilungen führten, sowie schwerpunktmäßig der Verlauf nordischer Studien von räumlich beengten und personell bescheidenen Anfängen bis zu den neuesten, dynamischen Aktivitäten in Forschung und Lehre. Kürzere Texte von ehemaligen Studierenden und Mitarbeitenden und zahlreiche Abbildungen ergänzen die Darstellung

    Beasts of the Modern Imagination : Darwin, Nietzsche, Kafka, Ernst, and Lawrence (2019)

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1985. Beasts of the Modern Imagination explores a specific tradition in modern thought and art: the critique of anthropocentrism at the hands of "beasts"-writers whose works constitute animal gestures or acts of fatality. It is not a study of animal imagery, although the works that Margot Norris explores present us with apes, horses, bulls, and mice who appear in the foreground of fiction, not as the tropes of allegory or fable, but as narrators and protagonists appropriating their animality amid an anthropocentric universe. These beasts are finally the masks of the human animals who create them, and the textual strategies that bring them into being constitute another version of their struggle. The focus of this study is a small group of thinkers, writers, and artists who create as the animal-not like the animal, in imitation of the animal-but with their animality speaking. The author treats Charles Darwin as the founder of this tradition, as the naturalist whose shattering conclusions inevitably turned back on him and subordinated him, the rational man, to the very Nature he studied. Friedrich Nietzsche heeded the advice implicit in his criticism of David Strauss and used Darwinian ideas as critical tools to interrogate the status of man as a natural being. He also responded to the implications of his own animality for his writing by transforming his work into bestial acts and gestures. The third, and last, generation of these creative animals includes Franz Kafka, the Surrealist artist Max Ernst, and D. H. Lawrence. In exploring these modern philosophers of the animal and its instinctual life, the author inevitably rebiologizes them even against efforts to debiologize thinkers whose works can be studied profitably for their models of signification

Los textos así seleccionados están organizados cronológicamente, y constituyen un corte transversal de la obra total, que deja ver cada uno de los estratos que la componen. El volumen se prestigia con una reflexión inédita de la autora sobre la indefensión de la persona ante la escritura autobiográfica. El estudio preliminar que introduce el volumen acompaña el viaje del lector a través de los textos, analizando las secuencias seleccionadas y leyéndolas desde una perspectiva global, atenta a la evolución de la escritura al hilo del tiempo. Para completar la mirada crítica, incluimos al final un instrumento pedagógico destinado a los estudiantes que quisieran trabajar sobre las obras de Alicia Kozameh, consistente en una serie de orientaciones válidas para la indagación de su escritura

    Abstract: Le présent recueil s'attache à évoquer les différentes manières, contrastées, paradoxales, ambiguës parfois, mais toujours intenses, qu'André Beucler a eu de décliner le motif de « l'affiche », au propre comme au figuré, dans ses romans comme dans ses articles ou ses émissions de radio, que ce soit sur le ton de l'éloge ou du sarcasme. André Beucler (1898-1985) est en effet aujourd'hui plus connu du grand public pour avoir partagé l'affiche avec Jean Gabin (en tenue de spahi) dans le film de Jean Grémillon, adapté de son roman Gueule d'amour, que comme romancier-phare des Années folles. Entré en littérature en 1925 par la grande porte des Éditions Gallimard avec La Ville anonyme, ce jeune auteur du groupe des « moins de trente ans » enchaîne alors nouvelles et romans. Habité depuis toujours par la passion du cinéma, il cède bientôt aux séductions du journalisme et s'éprend au passage de la « fée Publicité ». Dès le début des années trente, son nom côtoie celui des stars de l'époque (Pierre Brasseur, Charles Boyer, Brigitte Helm...) sur les affiches des films auxquels il participe en tant que scénariste, dialoguiste ou coréalisateur, tandis que, dans les colonnes de Marianne ou même de Paris-Soir, il se fait un nom comme grand reporter

    Rousseau's Venetian Story : An Essay upon Art and Truth in Les Confessions (2019)

    Abstract: Originally published in 1966. This book is primarily a literary study of Rousseau's account of his diplomatic experiences in Venice, contained in book 7 of the Confessions and written in 1769. The author analyzes Rousseau's methods of achieving an artistic rendering of psychological truth in autobiography, as exemplified in his treatment of the events of 1742-1749. Professor Madeleine Ellis contributes to an understanding of Rousseau as a creative artist and positions him vis-à-vis the classical and romantic movements. Ellis collates the text of the Confessions with contemporary correspondence and other documents to show how discrepancies between the two have artistic implications. These implications lead her to define Rousseau's principles and methods as a man of letters and the interrelations of art and truth in his memoirs. In revealing that Rousseau, the memorialist, gives an artistic rendering of psychological truth, Ellis shows Rousseau's attitude toward truth. She does this by following a path of analysis unexplored by previous critics but indicated by Rousseau himself when he says, "It is the story of my soul that I have promised . . . I record not so much the events of my life as the state of my soul as they happened." Ultimately, the objective of this study is to illustrate the artistic means-literary and rhetorical-employed by Rousseau and their implications for the truth he proposed

    Abstract: À l'hiver 1947-1948, Henri Calet, au même titre que d'autres intellectuels métropolitains comme Michel Leiris ou Francis Ponge, est invité à Sidi Madani, au sud d'Alger, afin de débattre de questions politiques et culturelles propres à l'Algérie. Cette invitation est aussi pour chacun l'occasion de jouir d'excellentes conditions matérielles pour mener à bien ses propres travaux. L'escapade algérienne de Calet se prolonge par un voyage au Maroc, à caractère plus privé. Au cours de ce séjour, Calet prend des notes, écrit ses impressions, rend compte de ce qu'il voit. Réunis ici, les textes nord-africains de Calet, même sous leur aspect inachevé, sont représentatifs au premier chef de son style, de son humour, de sa faculté aiguë d'observation et, plus encore peut-être, de son inclination, qui sera de plus en plus forte au fil des années, à la notation brève et à l'écriture impressionniste

    Abstract: Depuis son invention par Serge Doubrovsky en 1977, le concept d'autofiction n'a cessé d'évoluer et de stimuler la réflexion sur la production romanesque. Depuis quelques années, le phénomène littéraire semble gagner le monde arabe. Certains écrivains s'en réclament, d'autres s'en accommodent et d'autres encore préfèrent employer divers concepts pour définir leur pratique romanesque. Cette nouvelle terminologie peut-elle attester l'émergence d'un « nouveau genre » dans la littérature arabe ? Dans cette première étude consacrée à l'autofiction dans la littérature de langue arabe, Darouèche Hilali Bacar se propose de reconstruire une histoire du roman et de l'autobiographie qui montre la pertinence et la fécondité de l'hybridation générique. Du récit de voyage (rihla) aux autobiographies romancées, en passant par la néo-maqâma, le roman de formation et l'autobiographie altérisée ou déguisée, on suit, pas à pas, la genèse de l'écriture autofictionnelle en langue arabe. L'analyse des textes de Mohamed Choukri, Sonallah Ibrahim et Rachid El-Daïf permet au lecteur d'observer au plus près la pratique autofictionnelle, d'en comprendre les mécanismes et les motivations. À partir de ces trois exemples, Darouèche Hilali Bacar propose d'établir un modèle d'autofiction arabe et de définir les thèmes qui pourraient s'appliquer à de nombreux textes modernes et contemporains

    Abstract: Reclus dans sa cuisine d'Aix-en-Provence, emmitouflé dans sa bure d'hiver, portant béret et lunettes, son éternelle cigarette au bec, il pose sous l'objectif de Robert Doisneau à côté de la machine à écrire d'où sont sorties les pages de L'Homme foudroyé, qui vient de paraître chez Denoël. Tel est le visage de Blaise Cendrars qu'ont pu découvrir, en octobre 1945, les lecteurs du Figaro-Illustré : celui de l'auteur d'« un grand livre, un de ces livres comme il n'y en a pas un en dix ans [...] qui nous transporte, par la maitrise d'un art littéraire entièrement personnel, hors de tout art, par-delà toute littérature ». Ainsi Maximilien Vox saluait-il la parution de ce premier volume des « Mémoires sans être des Mémoires ». À ce livre foudroyant, les Cahiers de sémiotique textuelle de l'université Paris Nanterre avaient consacré en 1989, sous la direction de Claude Leroy, son quinzième numéro, rassemblant des études critiques, des inédits et des documents. Premier et unique ouvrage jusqu'à ce jour entièrement consacré à L'Homme foudroyé, ce volume est ici republié à l'occasion du programme de l'agrégation de lettres 2020

    Abstract: "Still Blundering into Sense". Maria Edgeworth, her context, her legacy. This collection of international contributions, as well as celebrating Maria Edgeworth's 250th anniversary, proposes some further investigation on two fundamental aspects of her thought and legacy, still little examined in depth: her interest in the education of the young (and of the adults supposed to educate them) in an empirical perspective, explicitly scientific, open to different religious confessions and addressed to all social classes; and the urge for a wider and shared tolerance for alterity. The various essays in the collection offer some insight on the multi-layered relationships between the universe of education and its relationship with the development of knowledge, literature - particularly children's literature - and pedagogy, as well as between women's emancipation and the development of both individual and social identity. Their common ground is a dialogic perspective aiming to connect areas of scholarship, which the academia generally classifies into separate research fields

    Abstract: Gerasim Zelic (1752-1828) is one of the most emblematic figures of the Serbian cultural scene between the 18th and 19th century. He as an archimandrite of the Serbian Orthodox monastery of Krupa, a diplomat and a writer. From 1794 to 1811, Zelic held the position of Vicar-General of the Serbs in Dalmatia and, as such, was one of the main actors of the events related to the confessional controversy that stirred the region at the time. His autobiography, entitled Žitije and published in Budapest in 1823, also places him among the protagonists of a crucial period for the birth of the new Serbian literature. Following a multidisciplinary approach, the essays collected in the volume Gerasim Zelic e il suo tempo analyse Gerasim Zelic's story, his involvement in the events related to the confessional controversy in Dalmatia and his literary activity, bringing the discussion to the era in which the Serbian archimandrite lived. Particular attention is paid to the context in which Zelic worked, namely the Balkan peninsula, as well as to the cultural history of the Serbs of Hungary between the 18th and 19th century

    Abstract: Originally published in 1967. Professor Sachs shows the inner coherence of Samuel Johnson's thought by pointing out the interconnectedness of his remarks on religious, moral, aesthetic, political, and psychological subjects. Reason and imagination, the central concepts in the Johnsonian ethos, are elucidated with reference to "vacuity," "attention," "novelty," "diversity," and other words to which Johnson attached special significance. Johnson emerges as an original thinker of the English Christian-humanist heritage; he "is to be read in the same spirit as Pascal." Primarily concerned with the relation between Johnson's ideas and the long tradition of which they are the culmination, Sachs also emphasizes the relevance of Johnson's thought to the twentieth century

    Abstract: This book is dedicated to the poetics in the Italian language that have spread around Italy over the last thirty years, also as a consequence of the migratory waves from the South-East to the North-West of the world. After years of research, the authors have selected a sample of twelve poets, who for different reasons have adopted Italian as the language of their literary expression. These authors come from the Balkans (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania), from Eastern Europe (Romania, Poland), from central-northern Europe (Austria, Germany), but also from Latin American countries (Brazil, Argentina , Chile), the Middle East (Iran and Iraq), and the Africa (Senegal). This volume features a long critical introduction and an updated bibliography, and studies the issue of migration from a cultural, literary and linguistic perspective, further investigating the work of individual poets in relation to their culture of origin and their use of the language (or languages), touching current and complex notions and issues such as otherness, interculturality, evolution of identity, migration and relationship between the multicultural and multilingual writing and the contemporary Italian poetic tradition and its canon. The unpublished interviews concluding the volume were made at the authors' places of residence and reconstruct their biographical and artistic path and their idea of language, translation, literature, home country and nationality

    Abstract: Alla centralità del tema amoroso nella narrativa breve non di rado si connette o si affianca la rappresentazione dell'irrazionalità e della follia, in diversi gradi, forme e manifestazioni: dal tragico al comico, dal drammatico al grottesco, dal serio e grave al parodico e irridente. A tali tematiche, dal Medioevo a Cervantes, e alle loro differenti declinazioni - cui si oppongono specularmente, con maggiore o minore frequenza e intensità, i richiami a principi d'ordine, ragione e misura - sono dedicati i saggi di questo volume, che trae origine dal confronto e dialogo di un gruppo di studiosi di più ambiti disciplinari: Letteratura italiana (Johannes Bartuschat, Anna Maria Cabrini, Sandra Carapezza, Claude Cazalé Bérard, Cristina Zampese); Filologia romanza (Beatrice Barbiellini Amidei, Luca Sacchi); Letteratura spagnola (Antonio Gargano, Maria Rosso); Linguistica italiana (Giuseppe Polimeni)

    Abstract: Die finnlandschwedische Künstlerin Tove Jansson (1914-2010) war Autorin, Malerin und Karikaturistin zugleich. Dieses künstlerische Spannungsfeld aus der Fusion unterschiedlicher Talente und der Experimentierfreudigkeit mit Materialität und Medium wird in der vorliegenden Studie fruchtbar gemacht, um Fragen zum Buch als Artefakt, zur Reflexion von Literatur als Kunstform, betreffend kreativer Strategien und künstlerischem Selbstverständnis zu erörtern. Mit anderen Worten, es werden unterschiedliche Konzepte von Materialität behandelt, die sowohl stoffliche wie auch poetologische Aspekte beinhalten. Dabei handelt es sich um Themen, die in der Jansson-Forschung bis anhin vergleichsweise wenig Beachtung fanden. Dies erstaunt vor allem in Anbetracht des viel beschworenen material turn, dessen Fokus auf Aspekte der Materialität in zahlreichen Disziplinen Einzug gehalten hat. Diese unterschiedlichen Konzepte von Materialität lassen sich letztlich zu einem materiellen Ethos ausweiten, welches Janssons Handeln als Künstlerin genuin zugrunde liegt und ihre herausragende Stellung auf eine neue Art zementiert

Traducir significó para ella situarse en el punto ideal de encuentro entre lectura y escritura, con ánimo de 'contar' lo que había leído. Este volumen ofrece el primer estudio sistemático sobre la labor traductora de Carmen Martín Gaite, ya sea como tarea práctica ya sea como elaboración de una teoría implícita de la traducción, en la que destacan el planteamiento irreductiblemente literario de la escritora y su identificación con el lector. Así mismo, la presentación cronológica del corpus completo de sus traducciones permite trazar la trayectoria de una biografía intelectual en la que todo lo leído activa un potencial creativo y de reflexión que desencadena una compleja intertextualidad, ofreciendo una perspectiva eficaz para arrojar luz sobre su obra 'global'

    Abstract: Ce volume rassemble dix-sept communications prononcées lors du colloque international de janvier 2013, organisé par les Universités de Franche-Comté et de Lausanne. L'intérêt de ce colloque avait été de mettre en valeur cet objet d'étude rarement observé par les chercheurs : le péritexte de l'œuvre, ici analysé d'un point de vue strictement génétique, à partir des travaux de Gérard Genette. Le gai savoir cher au penseur s'y allie à une taxinomie rigoureuse des différentes formes de paratextes. Un tel volume présente l'intérêt de placer la question de la rédaction des paratextes, observés exclusivement et de manière parfaitement neuve sur des manuscrits d'écrivains, au cœur l'auto-représentation auctoriale. L'étude des archives ouvre aussi le champ d'un domaine d'études encore très peu exploré, celui de la « génétique éditoriale », pour mesurer l'existence d'une paradoxale auctorialité éditoriale

    Abstract: Face à l'extension sans cesse grandissante des frontières du savoir, il apparaît comme de plus en plus urgent aujourd'hui de faire apparaître les liens entre ses différents domaines. Dans cette appropriation de l'humain, la littérature comparée s'est progressivement élargie au domaine entier de la culture. Les études musico-littéraires y connaissent un essor et une explosion bibliographique sans précédent  : centres de recherche et congrès se multiplient de façon impressionnante. Le chemin est cependant semé d'embûches diverses qu'il serait vain de vouloir ignorer. Pour difficile qu'il soit, le monde de la recherche mélopoétique réserve au chercheur de splendides découvertes. Il importe donc tout particulièrement de faire le point sur un domaine appelé à occuper à l'avenir, en dépit de ses difficultés, une place privilégiée. Ne faudra-t-il pas présenter la musicologie, désormais, comme le complément indispensable de la linguistique naguère  ? Dans un précédent ouvrage (Euterpe et Harpocrate ou le défi littéraire de la musique), l'auteur privilégiait l'approche méthodologique et théorique, celui-ci multiplie à dessein les exemples. Le dessein avoué est d'attirer les chercheurs à ce monde nouveau et fascinant des recherches mélopoétiques

Au-delà de l'idée qui associe les genres littéraires à une classification et à une hiérarchisation dans le champ littéraire, c'est à l'aune de la généricité que nous avons souhaité approcher la littérature contemporaine écrite par les femmes des Amériques. Il s'agit de savoir comment les écrivaines négocient les paradigmes patriarcaux autour du pouvoir et du savoir (dont le système des genres et le gender sont des supports structurels) pour donner à lire des œuvres littéraires plurielles, dynamiques, dégagées des carcans de la classification au profit de l'intergénéricité comme force structurante de l'écriture

    Abstract: Originally published in 1980. The first section of The Novel-Machine consists of five short chapters that rewrite Autobiography as an undisguised theory of realistic fiction, exploring its paradoxes while placing it in the context of mid-Victorian criticism. Chapters 6 and 7 survey the manifestations in Trollope's novels of what his theory sets down as the primary difference of realism: its way of telling its readers how to read. Chapter 8 is a close reading of He Knew He Was Right, a neglected novel that, in Kendrick's estimation, deserves to stand in much higher critical esteem than it does. Kendrick shows how deeply woven into the texture of Trollope's writing the rhetoric of realism is. Kendrick's reading is a departure from the usual method of criticizing Trollope-surveying the whole of his work a novel at a time, saying a little about every novel and always too little about each

    Abstract: « Klossowski, Bataille, Blanchot, ont été pour moi très importants. Et je crains bien de n'avoir pas fait dans ce que j'ai écrit la part suffisante à l'influence qu'ils ont dû avoir sur moi » : c'est en ces termes que Foucault reconnaît sa dette à l'égard de ces trois auteurs qui ont profondément pesé sur sa philosophie. Mais cette dette ne s'arrête pas à Foucault évidemment. On la retrouve chez Deleuze et Derrida, et bien d'autres intellectuels plus contemporains. L'intention de cet ouvrage est de proposer un débat autour de l'importance de ces trois essayistes, eux-mêmes marqués par les séminaires d'Alexandre Kojève sur Hegel de 1933 à 1939, sur la pensée contemporaine. Leur lecture critique de la filiation Hegel-Marx-Kojève sera à l'origine d'une pensée autre de la discontinuité, de la dissymétrie, de l'irréversibilité, de l'inconnu, de l'indétermination, autrement dit une façon différente de réfléchir sur la puissance d'une « écriture hors langage » pour reprendre l'expression de Blanchot

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1989. In Prosody and Purpose in the English Renaissance the eminent scholar O. B. Hardison Jr. sets out "to recover the special kinds of music inherent in English Renaissance poetry." The book begins with a thorough and wide-ranging survey of the development of prosodic theory from the ancient ars metrica tradition to the sixteenth century, with special emphasis on such issues as the relation of verse form and genre, the relation of syntax to prosody, and the role of language reform in shaping Renaissance prosody. The second part of the book considers the impact of prosodic traditions on specific literary works and verse forms, among them Surrey's Aeneid, Heywood's translation of Seneca's Thyestes, Sackville and Norton's Gorboduc, and the dramatic and epic verse of Marlowe, Shakespeare, Spenser, and Milton. Throughout, Hardison examines not only how poets crafted their verse but why. He explores authorial purposes ranging from technical attempts to match sound and genre to the lofty aims of improving the vernacular or ennobling culture, from the dramatist's practical search for verse forms suited to the stage to Milton's quest for a meter fit to convey divine relation

    The Sage in Harlem : H. L. Mencken and the Black Writers of the 1920s (2019)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : Johns Hopkins University Press

    ISBN: 9781421430294
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (228 p.)
    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1984. The Sage in Harlem establishes H. L. Mencken as a catalyst for the blossoming of black literary culture in the 1920s and chronicles the intensely productive exchange of ideas between Mencken and two generations of black writers: the Old Guard who pioneered the Harlem Renaissance and the Young Wits who sought to reshape it a decade later. From his readings of unpublished letters and articles from black publications of the time, Charles Scruggs argues that black writers saw usefulness in Mencken's critique of American culture, his advocacy of literary realism, and his satire of America. They understood that realism could free them from the pernicious stereotypes that had hounded past efforts at honest portraiture, and that satire could be the means whereby the white man might be paid back in his own coin. Scruggs contends that the content of Mencken's observations, whether ludicrously narrow or dazzlingly astute, was of secondary importance to the Harlem intellectuals. It was the honesty, precision, and fearlessness of his expression that proved irresistible to a generation of artists desperate to be taken seriously. The writers of the Harlem Renaissance turned to Mencken as an uncompromising-and uncondescending-commentator whose criticisms were informed by deep interest in African American life but guided by the same standards he applied to all literature, whatever its source. The Sage in Harlem demonstrates how Mencken, through the example of his own work, his power as editor of the American Mercury, and his dedication to literary quality, was able to nurture the developing talents of black authors from James Weldon Johnson to Richard Wright

    Georges Perec's Geographies : Material, Performative and Textual Spaces (2019)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : University College London
    Details
    ISBN: 9781787354418
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource
    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Georges Perec, novelist, filmmaker and essayist, was one of the most inventive and original writers of the twentieth century. A fascinating aspect of his work is its intrinsically geographical nature. With major projects on space and place, Perec's writing speaks to a variety of geographical, urban and architectural concerns, both in a substantive way, including a focus on cities, streets, homes and apartments, and in a methodological way, experimenting with methods of urban exploration and observation, classification, enumeration and taxonomy. Georges Perec's Geographies is the first book to offer a rounded picture of Perec's geographical interests. Divided into two parts, Part I, Perec's Geographies, explores the geographies within Perec's work in film, literature and radio, from descriptions of streets to the spaces of his texts, while Part II, Perecquian Geographies, explores geographies in a range of material and metaphorical forms, including photographic essays, soundscapes, theatre, dance and writing, created by those directly inspired by Perec. Georges Perec's Geographies extends the body of Perec criticism beyond Literary and French Studies to disciplines including Geography, Urban Studies, Planning and Architecture to offer a complete and systematic examination of Georges Perec's geographies. The diversity of readings and approaches will be of interest not only to Perec readers and fans but to students and researchers across these subjects

    The Decentered Universe of Finnegans Wake : A Structuralist Analysis (2019)

    ISBN: 9781421430256
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (162 p.)
    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1977. The pioneer critics of Finnegans Wake hailed the work as a radical critique of language and civilization. Resuming their position, Margot Norris explains the book's most intractable uncertainties not as puzzles to be solved by a clever reader but as manifestations of a "chaosmos," a Freudian dream world of sexual transgression and social dissolution, of inauthentic being and empty words. Conventional moralities and restraints are under siege in this chaosmos, where precisely those desires and forbidden wishes that are barred in waking thought strive to make themselves felt. Norris demonstrates convincingly that the protean characters of Finnegans Wake are the creatures of a dreaming mind. The teleology of their universe is freedom, and in the enduring struggle between the individual's anarchic psyche and the laws that make civilization possible, it is only in dream that the psyche is triumphant. It is as dream rather than as novel that Norris reads Finnegans Wake. The lexical deviance and semantic density of the book, Norris argues, are not due to Joyce's malice, mischief, or megalomania but are essential and intrinsic to his concern to portray man's inner state of being. Because meanings are dislocated-hidden in unexpected places, multiplied and split, given over to ambiguity, plurality, and uncertainty-the Wake, Norris claims, represents a decentered universe. Its formal elements of plot, character, discourse, and language are not anchored to any single point of reference; they do not refer back to center. Only by abandoning conventional frames of reference can readers allow the work to disclose its own meanings, which are lodged in the differences and similarities of its multitudinous elements.Eschewing the close explication of much Wake criticism, the author provides a conceptual framework for the work's large structures with the help of theories and methods borrowed from Freud, Heidegger, Lacan, Levi-Strauss, and Derrida. Looking at the work without novelistic expectations of the illusion of some "key" to unlock the mystery, Norris explores Joyce's rationale for committing his last human panorama-a bit sadder than Ulysses in its concern with aging, killing, and dying-to a form and language belonging to the deconstructive forces of the twentieth century

    Abstract: Doué d’une parole précise et cinglante, Benjamin Constant a été un journaliste et un homme politique de premier plan, depuis les dernières années de la Révolution jusqu’à la fin de la Restauration. Ses écrits politiques constituent un jalon essentiel de la réflexion sur les fondements de la société démocratique et de la vie parlementaire, en France comme dans le monde. Dans le domaine de la création littéraire, le cursif Adolphe s’est imposé comme une oeuvre majeure du roman à la première personne, et ses journaux sont un des chefs-d’oeuvre de l’écriture intime. Ouvrant une perspective nouvelle à la connaissance de Constant par la largeur du corpus envisagé, cet ouvrage analyse l’écriture, le style, la manière, tout ce qui fait la spécificité de l’esprit d’une oeuvre qui ne ressemble à aucune autre : de la fiction littéraire aux essais politiques, de l’histoire de la religion à la réflexion sur le théâtre, c’est un art exemplaire de l’analyse et de l’argumentation, un style singulier qui nous est révélé

    Abstract: Fuir avant demain est un roman de l’écrivaine américaine Kay Boyle paru en 1932. Le lecteur est entrainé dans le récit aussi émouvant que lumineux d’une escapade tumultueuse et désespérée dans l’arrière-pays grassois, au milieu des années 20. Cette fiction autobiographique témoigne d’une époque littéraire façonnée par l’expérience de l’exil et tourmentée par le sentiment de sa finitude. Paru en français pour la première fois en 1937, le roman est réédité ici dans une nouvelle traduction, proposée par Anne Reynès-Delobel, qui permet d’apprécier toute l’intensité et l’élégance de la prose poétique de Boyle, romancière moderniste unique, amoureuse des mots et de la vie. Femme aux multiples visages, architecte, écrivain, mère de six enfants, mariée à trois reprises, Kay Boyle (1902-1992) est un personnage hors du commun. Son œuvre considérable connut un très grand succès aux États-Unis. Le Cheval aveugle (The Crazy Hunter, 1940) a fait l’objet d’une traduction en 2008

    Abstract: New ideas for teaching contemporary social justice through Shakespeare and Renaissance literature. Describes innovative and portable teaching methods informed by recent scholarship in early modern literature, cultural studies, and critical pedagogy. Offers strategies for effective teaching and advocacy amidst the growing cultural and economic complexities of higher education. Demonstrates the relevance of historical literary study to contemporary cultural conversations, especially those about social justice. Historicizes the malicious whitening" of Shakespeare and European culture, recognizing instead multiple, multicultural, accessible Shakespeares. Presents Shakespeare’s plays as a common corpus of great value to democratic conversations in widely divergent contexts. Gives educators language for promoting the virtue of humanistic inquiry and when higher education is on the defensive. This book is for teachers who want to heighten the intellectual impact of their courses by using their classrooms as a creative space for social formation and action. Its twenty-one chapters provide diverse perspectives on Shakespeare and early modern literature that engage innovation, collaboration, and forward-looking practices. They model ways of mobilizing justice with early modern texts and claim the intellectual benefits of integrating social justice into courses. The book reconceives the relationship between students and Renaissance literature in ways that enable them – and us – to move from classroom discussions to real-life applications."

    Abstract: Este libro intenta mostrar la representación textual de las islas Galápagos desde su descubrimiento hasta nuestros días. El argumento principal sugiere que la descripción de este espacio crucial para la modernidad, dada la retórica de los escritores de viajes y ficción, transforma el área insular para concebir formas alternativas del proyecto de construcción nacional en América Latina. Como resultado de las empresas coloniales, excursiones científicas, crónicas periodísticas o expediciones, la escritura de viaje de las Galápagos condiciona la formación del estado y su imaginario nacional. Esto ocurre por el capital simbólico que posee archipiélago y por el deseo de los intelectuales latinoamericanos de pertenecer a un territorio cosmopolita. El espacio insular funciona como un significante vacío donde los viajeros pueden comunicar su propio significado al narrar las experiencias de sus viajes. Este fenómeno crea una división conceptual y política entre la identidad de las islas y la nación ecuatoriana. Dichas ambigüedades narrativas crearon una ruptura que condujo a variaciones fundamentales en la forma en que los habitantes locales y entidades extranjeras interpretan las Galápagos hoy en día, ya que su literatura refleja una tensión particular de cara a las tendencias migratorias en las islas, así como los intereses globales que prevalecen en la apropiación del espacio. This book, written in Spanish, takes a literary and cultural studies model to explain the textual representation of the Galápagos Islands since their discovery until present day. The main argument suggests that the depiction of this crucial space for modernity in Western thought, given the rhetoric of travel and fiction writers, transforms the insular area with the intention of conceiving disparate forms of political displacement. Specifically, these depictions show several conflicts that arose from the seeking of identity in Ecuador during the nation-building project that took place at the time. As a result of colonial enterprises (scientific excursions, exile, tourism, journalistic pieces, expeditions, etc.), travel writings of the Galápagos condition the formation of the state and its national imagery because of the extreme symbolic capital of the archipelago and the desire of Latin American intellectuals to belong to a cosmopolitan territory

    Abstract: Originally published in 1965. Despite his prolificacy, Washington Irving remained an underexamined figure among literary scholars at the time William L. Hedges published his definitive study of the author in 1965. Most contemporary scholars believed that Irving's central contribution to the American literary tradition was that his work was "polished" and "suave." These scholars maintained that Irving's aristocratic sensibilities defined the stylistic choices of his literary works. To assume this, Hedges contends, is to "both let the man and the work slip beyond one's grasp." Hedges demonstrates that much of Irving's work can be understood in the context of his conflict between federalist and conservative politics. Irving, in other words, found himself incapable of committing to a coherent set of beliefs or attitudes, and this cultural uneasiness manifested itself in his early work. Washington Irving: An American Study, 1802-1832 tries to correct some of the misapprehension about Irving's place in nineteenth-century American literature

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1969. Alan Roper studies the degree to which Arnold achieved a unity of human significance and literal landscape. If landscape poetry is to rise above the level of what Roper calls "country contentments in verse," the poet cannot think and describe alternately; his thinking and describing must be a part of one another. That Matthew Arnold was aware of the difficulty in achieving the necessary unity becomes clear in his own criticism, which Roper examines along with a large and representative number of Arnold's poems. Considering the latter roughly in the order they were published-except for a fuller analysis of Empedocles on Etna, "The Scholar-Gipsy," and "Thyrsis"-Roper follows important changes in Arnold's view of the function and nature of poetry as it emerged in the poems themselves. Basic to the author's critical method is a distinction between geographical sites and poetic landscapes. Focusing on the ways that Arnold and, to a lesser extent, the Augustan and Romantic poets before him untied thought and description, Roper adds a critical dimension to Arnold scholarship. Concerned not with the development of Arnold's ideas nor with their sources in classical antiquity and the Romantic period, he considers Arnold a self-conscious poet who, though sometimes successful, became increasingly unsuccessful in his efforts to imbue a landscape with meaning for individual or social man

    Abstract: Originally published in 1979. Sylvia Plath is one of the most controversial poets of our time. For some readers, she is the symbol of women oppressed. For others, she is the triumphant victim of her own intensity-the poet pursuing sensation to the ultimate uncertainty, death. For still others, she is a doomed innocent whose sensibilities were too acute for the coarseness of our world. The new essays of this edited collection (with a single exception, all were written for this book) broaden the perspective of Plath criticism by going beyond the images of Plath as a cult figure to discuss Plath the poet. The contributors-among them Calvin Bedient, Hugh Kenner, J. D. O'Hara, and Marjorie Perloff-draw on material that most previous commentators lacked: a substantial body of Plath's poetry and prose, a moderately detailed biographical record, and an important selection of the poet's correspondence. The result is an important and provocative volume, one in which major critics offer an abundance of insights into the poet's mind and creative process. It offers insightful and original readings of many poems-some, like "Berck-Plage," scarcely mentioned in previous criticism-and fosters new understandings of such matters as Plath's comedy, the development of her poetic voice, and her relation to poetic traditions. The serious reader, whatever his or her initial opinion of Sylvia Plath, is sure to find that opinion challenged, changed, or deepened. These essays offer insights into a violently interesting poet, one who despite, or perhaps because of, her suicide at age thirty continues to fascinate and trouble us

    Abstract: Context in Literary and Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary volume that deals with the challenges of studying works of art and literature in their historical context today. The relationship between artworks and context has long been a central concern for aesthetic and cultural disciplines, and the question of context has been asked anew in all eras. Developments in contemporary culture and technology, as well as new theoretical and methodological orientations in the humanities, once again prompt us to rethink context in literary and cultural studies. This volume takes up that challenge. Introducing readers to new developments in literary and cultural theory, Context in Literary and Cultural Studies connects all disciplines related to these areas to provide an interdisciplinary overview of the challenges different scholarly fields today meet in their studies of artworks in context. Spanning a number of countries, and covering subjects from nineteenth-century novels to rave culture, the chapters together constitute an informed, diverse and wide-ranging discussion. The volume is written for scholarly readers at all levels in the fields of Literary Studies, Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, Art History, Film, Theatre Studies and Digital Humanities

    Abstract: Granito e arcobaleno. Forme e modi della scrittura auto/biografica collects essays on issues regarding relationships and their fragile balances, between reality and fiction, experience and memory, private and public, autonomy and relatedness, referential truth and subjective truth, between the self and the other. The contributions also involve concepts such as the social, cultural, geopolitical or even rhetorical space, where the auto/biographical subject is situated; the 'materiality' of the body, which perceives and internalizes the images, sensations and experiences of the external world; the agency and the linguistic, discursive, social and cultural constraints to which it is subjected. After a theoretical introduction, this volume explores individual case studies that can be traced back to different and sometimes distant cultural realities, then concludes with an artist's reflection on art and life

    Abstract: Giovanni di Pagolo Morelli's Ricordi, long known to historians, are published here for the first time in an integral version which is also linguistically faithful to the original manuscript. This new critical edition is accompanied by a long introductory essay on the author, the intentions of his work and the results it had by the heirs to whom it was addressed. The 74 years of Giovanni Morelli's life, from the 1370s to the mid 1440s, are placed in a decisive time span for the history of Florence, and they are marked by a strong social mobility of which the Morellis, a family with humble origins, were the protagonists. Reading the Ricordi, and combining them with the analysis of the substantial remaining documentation borne by the author and his family, help understand the strong push to social rise which animated Morelli, and the reasons for his descendants' position among Florence's prominent family scene of the late 15th century

    Abstract: Scarti, tracce e frammenti: controarchivio e memoria dell'umano. Literature and art, increasingly interested in the dark side of production, now appear as a reservoir of fragments and waste of all sorts. The attraction towards scraps, conceived as anti-goods, testifies the existence of a parallel world where the myths of growth and productivity show their tragic face. Through different textualities and media, waste emerges as a testimony of a subversive marginality from which unexpected perspectives, which can undermine the established order, arise. The volume, using the image of waste, offers a hidden or marginalized counter history, which however 'returns' overbearingly in order to give contemporaneity its shapeless substance

    Abstract: Originally published in 1956. In Ishmael, Professor James Baird responds to the increasing secularization of Western civilization and the creation of what he calls "authentic primitivism." For Baird, the aesthetic austerity of Protestantism undermined the structure of symbols created by Catholicism. In the absence of a meaningful structure of cultural authority in Western civilization, "primary art" took on a quasi-religious role by connecting humans to a transcendent being. Ishmael describes a new system of art, beginning around 1850, that supplanted Christian symbolism. Baird examines writers who helped to create a modern authentic primitivism, with emphasis on Herman Melville, whom Baird sees as a locus of change for the cultural significance of primary art. Baird provides a social history and biography of writers who participated in the primary art movement from 1850 to 1950

    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (349 p.)
    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1965. The European dramatic tradition rests on a group of religious dramas that appeared between the tenth and twelfth centuries. These dramas, of interest in themselves, are also important for the light they shed on three historical and critical problems: the relation of drama to ritual, the nature of dramatic form, and the development of representational techniques. Hardison's approach is based on the history of the Christian liturgy, on critical theories concerning the kinship of ritual and drama, and on close analysis of the chronology and content of the texts themselves. Beginning with liturgical commentaries of the ninth century, Hardison shows that writers of the period consciously interpreted the Mass and cycle of the church year in dramatic terms. By reconstructing the services themselves, he shows that they had an emphatic dramatic structure that reached its climax with the celebration of the Resurrection. Turning to the history of the Latin Resurrection play, Hardison suggests that the famous Quem quaeritis-the earliest of all medieval dramas-is best understood in relation to the baptismal rites of the Easter Vigil service. He sets forth a theory of the original form and function of the play based on the content of the earliest manuscripts as well as on vestigial ceremonial elements that survive in the later ones. Three texts from the eleventh and twelfth centuries are analyzed with emphasis on the change from ritual to representational modes. Hardison discusses why the form inherited from ritual remained unchanged, while the technique became increasingly representational. In studying the earliest vernacular dramas, Hardison examines the use of nonritual materials as sources of dramatic form, the influence of representational concepts of space and time on staging, and the development of nonceremonial techniques for composition of dialogue. The sudden appearance of these elements in vernacular drama suggests the existence of a hitherto unsuspected vernacular tradition considerably older than the earliest surviving vernacular plays

Stein discusses Herbert's diction, imagery, syntax, and rhythm in light of his organization of the imaginative materials of time and self-consciousness and in light of his development of a rhetoric through which he could master the intimacies of personal failure and (what is far more difficult) express in language convincingly sincere states of positive religious achievement

    Abstract: Originally published in 1979. Eric Sundquist takes four representative writers-James Fenimore Cooper, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville-and considers the way in which each grapples with the crucial issues of genealogy and authority in his works. From all four a common pattern emerges: the desire to revolt against the past is countered by the need to invoke or even repeat it. Sundquist's approach to the texts is psychoanalytic, but he does not attempt a clinical dissection of each writer; rather, he determines how personal crisis became material for engaging with larger questions of social and literary crisis

Si de nombreux auteurs ont affiché une résistance farouche contre cette nouvelle donne commerciale qui fait de la littérature une marchandise, d’autres se sont montrés bien plus coopérants. En se généralisant au cours du siècle, la publicité éditoriale a poussé les auteurs à prendre une part de plus en plus active à la promotion ­commerciale de leurs œuvres et de leur personnage médiatique. Comment ont-ils répondu à cette double injonction ? C’est la question à laquelle les contributeurs de ce volume se proposent de répondre

The subsequent chapters treat original radio plays of Walter van den Broeck and Ivo Michiels, among others, as well as translations of German and English radio plays, and adaptations like that of Herman Teirlinck’s play De vertraagde film. Contributions about Dutch radio plays from the interbellum and experimental verbosonies of Ab van Eyk enforce the image of a genre that continuously renews itself in interaction with literature. Finally, the reader is offered an overview of post-war literary radio plays. Thus, this book shows and investigates for the first time the profusion of literary radio plays in Flanders and the Netherlands

    Abstract: In Life Is Elsewhere, Anne Lounsbery shows how nineteenth-century Russian literature created an imaginary place called "the provinces"—a place at once homogeneous, static, anonymous, and symbolically opposed to Petersburg and Moscow. Lounsbery looks at a wide range of texts, both canonical and lesser-known, in order to explain why the trope has exercised such enduring power, and what role it plays in the larger symbolic geography that structures Russian literature's representation of the nation's space. Using a comparative approach, she brings to light fundamental questions that have long gone unasked: how to understand, for instance, the weakness of literary regionalism in a country as large as Russia? Why the insistence, from Herzen through Chekhov and beyond, that all Russian towns look the same? In a literary tradition that constantly compared itself to a western European standard, Lounsbery argues, the problem of provinciality always implied difficult questions about the symbolic geography of the nation as a whole. This constant awareness of a far-off European model helps explain why the provinces, in all their supposed drabness and predictability, are a topic of such fascination for Russian writers—why these anonymous places are in effect so important and meaningful, notwithstanding the culture's nearly unremitting emphasis on their nullity and meaninglessness

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Originally published in 1995. In The Beautiful, Novel, and Strange, Ronald Paulson fills a lacuna in studies of aesthetics at its point of origin in England in the 1700s. He shows how aesthetics took off not only from British empiricism but also from such forms of religious heterodoxy as deism. The third earl of Shaftesbury, the founder of aesthetics, replaced the Christian God of rewards and punishments with beauty-worship of God, with a taste for a work of art. William Hogarth, reacting against Shaftesbury's "disinterestedness," replaced his Platonic abstractions with an aesthetics centered on the human body, gendered female, and based on an epistemology of curiosity, pursuit, and seduction. Paulson shows Hogarth creating, first in practice and then in theory, a middle area between the Beautiful and the Sublime by adapting Joseph Addison's category (in the Spectator) of the Novel, Uncommon, and Strange.Paulson retrieves an aesthetics that had strong support during the eighteenth century but has been obscured both by the more dominant academic discourse of Shaftesbury (and later Sir Joshua Reynolds) and by current trends in art and literary history. Arguing that the two traditions comprised not only painterly but also literary theory and practice, Paulson explores the innovations of Henry Fielding, John Cleland, Laurence Sterne, and Oliver Goldsmith, which followed and complemented the practice in the visual arts of Hogarth and his followers

    Abstract: Originally published in 1968. Professor Dryden sees Melville's novels both as metaphysical processes and as technical forms. The novelist is not a reporter but a creator, and what he creates from his experience is his vision of truth. Herman Melville saw the function of the novelist in terms of his ability to expose the reader to truth while simultaneously protecting him from it or, in other words, to enable the reader to experience reality indirectly and, therefore, safely. In Melville's own writing, however, this function became more difficult as his nihilism deepened. He became increasingly sensitive to his own involvement in the world of lies, and when he could no longer protect himself from the truth, he could no longer transform it into fiction. Melville's struggle to maintain the distinction between art and truth was reflected in the changing forms of his novels.Dryden traces Melville's evolving metaphysical views and studies their impact on the craftsmanship of this acutely self-conscious artist from his early novels-Typee, Redburn, and White Jacket-through Moby-Dick, Pierre, Israel Potter, and The Confidence-Man to the posthumously published Billy Budd and the closely related Benito Cereno, and he concludes that "all of Melville's narrators are in some way portraits of the artist at work." Dryden's study is a unique contribution to Melville scholarship and an important journey through the world of the novelist's vision. As such, it has significant implications for the novel as a genre and for understanding its development in America

    Abstract: This collection of thirteen essays examines sociolinguistic phenomena in a wide variety of marginal environments, providing both an overview of globalizaiton on the margins and a foundation for an expanded understanding of the processes of linguistic and cultural changes at work in these settings. Taking an expansive conceptual view of margins, the volume is organized in three parts, looking at examples of marginal spaces in the nation-state, in online environments, and in the peripheries of urban locations, globally to call attention to new and changing discursive genres, patterns, practices, and identities emerging in these spaces as a result of contemporary mobilities, the evolving global economy, and socio-political changes. With previous research previously confined to the study of globalization in urban areas, this volume opens the door for further research on the complex sociolinguistic processes resulting from globalization on the margins, making this an ideal resource for students and scholars in sociolinguistics, globalization and heritage studies, new media, anthropology, and cultural studies.

    Abstract: PROSE Awards Literature Subject Category Winner, 2020〈br〉〈br〉In the politically volatile period from the 1960s through the end of the twentieth century, Latin American authors were in direct dialogue with the violent realities of their time and place. 〈em〉Writing Revolution in Latin America〈/em〉 is a chronological study of the way revolution and revolutionary thinking is depicted in the fiction composed from the eye of the storm.〈br〉〈br〉From Mexico to Chile, the gradual ideological evolution from a revolutionary to a neoliberal mainstream was a consequence of, on the one hand, the political hardening of the Cuban Revolution beginning in the late 1960s, and, on the other, the repression, dictatorships, and economic crises of the 1970s and beyond. Not only was socialist revolution far from the utopia many believed, but the notion that guerrilla uprisings would lead to an easy socialism proved to be unfounded. Similarly, the repressive Pinochet dictatorship in Chile led to unfathomable tragedy and social mutation.〈br〉〈br〉This double-edged phenomenon of revolutionary disillusionment became highly personal for Latin American authors inside and outside Castro's and Pinochet's dominion. Revolution was more than a foreign affair, it was the stuff of everyday life and, therefore, of fiction.〈br〉〈br〉Juan De Castro's expansive study begins ahead of the century with José Martí in Cuba and continues through the likes of Mario Vargas Llosa in Peru, Gabriel García Márquez in Colombia, and Roberto Bolaño in Mexico (by way of Chile). The various, often contradictory ways the authors convey this precarious historical moment speaks in equal measure to the social circumstances into which these authors were thrust and to the fundamental differences in the ways they themselves witnessed history

Interrogeant aussi la notion de « création », elles mettent en avant sa transversalité, montrant qu'elle est à l'œuvre autant chez le poète et l'écrivain que chez l'apprenant. De sorte que la langue, telle qu'elle est envisagée ici, peut largement informer la recherche relative à l'apprentissage d'une langue étrangère ainsi que stimuler la réflexion méthodologique concernant la didactique des langues-cultures

    Abstract: Ce volume s'attache à l'étude des différentes représentations de la découverte scientifique dans la littérature et les arts du xixe siècle. Le moment même de la découverte peut être considéré comme un récit non scientifique et comme un épisode largement mythifié. Cette mystique de l'« eurêka » occulte pourtant les lenteurs et les tâtonnements plus proches de la réalité des savants. En alliant des approches pluridisciplinaires, cet ouvrage vise à interroger les écarts poétiquement fertiles entre la mise en scène traditionnelle d'une découverte scientifique en forme de jaillissement spontané et le travail souterrain que ce dévoilement nécessite en réalité

    Abstract: Comment rendre hommage à Alain Viala, à la fécondité de ses travaux, à l'inventivité de son œuvre sans le transformer en académicien empaillé ? Puisqu'un de ses buts est de décloisonner les genres et d'éviter les prêts-à-penser, on pouvait tout risquer. Des contributeurs enthousiastes ont donné à leur hommage des formes choisies, entre le poème, le témoignage affectueux et la réflexion érudite s'inscrivant dans le prolongement des concepts qu'il a imposés en histoire, sociologie et théorie de la littérature. L'ensemble est ponctué de quelques textes d'Alain Viala, qui dessinent un parcours, menant des postures d'écrivains qui font la dynamique centrale du champ littéraire jusqu'aux bizarreries qui occupent les marges de ce champ. Ce trajet suit le fil des opérations critiques qui ont marqué de manière décisive la pratique des études littéraires : historiciser la littérature, mettre à jour les mécanismes de la valeur, exhiber les tensions et leur fécondité, traverser les frontières, s'engager... Le trajet d'une révolution qui refuse (l'histoire littéraire des grands hommes), revendique (une méthode), désordonne et brouille pour créer du nouveau

    Abstract: Elizabeth Craven née Berkeley, issue de la noblesse anglaise, partit vers l'Orient en 1785. Elle publia l'année suivante sa correspondance de voyage, adressée à Charles-Alexandre, Margrave de Brandebourg-Anspach-Bayreuth, qu'elle épousa par la suite. Cet itinéraire, qui lui permit de découvrir l'Empire ottoman et la Grèce mais aussi l'Europe de l'Est, fut entrepris pour diverses raisons, dont le désir de découvrir l'inconnu : « Je vais aller voir des cours et des gens que peu de femmes ont vus », écrivit-elle de Bologne, le 15 novembre 1785. Le contact avec des civilisations et populations étrangères ne se fit pas toujours sans surprises : les lettres de Lady Craven expriment parfois de l'admiration mais aussi des préjugés et, assez fréquemment, du mépris à l'égard des pays visités. Ces lettres témoignent néanmoins de la très grande indépendance de Lady Craven relativement à son époque, en dépit des dispositions légales et idéologiques qui maintenaient les femmes dans un état de subordination. Ce voyage, et la correspondance qu'il a générée, revêt à cet égard une dimension transgressive politique

    Abstract: This book was born from an observation and a desire. The starting point is that the multilingual nature of Andrea Zanzotto's poetry becomes almost invisible by virtue of being evident in the eyes of its readers. The babelic hypersensitivity of the petèl's poet is certainly not absent in critical studies, yet this work addresses it in a systematic way for the first time, by investigating on the multiple connections between poetic writing and languages. The desire that accompanied this reflection was to lead it with a "prismatic" gaze, crossing the poetry's multilingualism and the poet's translation practice, and summoning the many voices of its translators around the Zanzottian multivocality. A series of unpublished documents in the appendix, and the interventions of poets like Cecchinel, Demarcq and Rueff, alongside those of the best European experts of Zanzotto, add a special significance to this work. Speech given on June 26, 2007 at the Locanda da Lino in Solighetto (TV, Italy) on the occasion of the presentation of the book by F. Carbognin, L'«altro spazio». Scienza, paesaggio, corpo nella poesia di Andrea Zanzotto (Nuova Editrice Magenta, 2007) and of issue no. 230 of «l'immaginazione» (year XXII, May 2007). Videotaped and included in the DVD Tribute to Andrea Zanzotto (Viviafilm production), which also includes speeches by Niva Lorenzini, Marco Antonio Bazzocchi and Silvana Tamiozzo Goldmann

    Abstract: This volume reconstructs the birth and evolution of the Italian literary history in France and England during the 19th century. In the French context, a comparative reading of the works by Pierre-Louis Ginguené and Jean Charles Léonard Simonde de Sismondi confirms that the subject had already reached its maturity at the beginning of the century. On the other hand, in England, the path leading from Ugo Foscolo to John Addington Symonds passes through multiple genres and sources, including collections of biographies, anthologies of translations, travel books, histories of individual literary genres, histories from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. At the end of this path, a software pipeline is tested and developed with the aim of expanding the analysis through the computational tools of the Digital Humanities

    Abstract: This book describes the complex relationship between writers and the radio, offering itself as an unpublished and original tool for measuring the cultural and political objectives of the public radio service between the 1930s and 1960s. From initial suspicions to pioneering attempts and productive consolidation, this new and invisible art form significantly reflected the resistances, experiments and impulses of the Italian literary society. With great competence, Rodolfo Sacchettini (one of the leading specialists on the subject) focuses on works which were specifically written for the radio: radio plays, conferences, cultural broadcasts, etc. The 1930s are described as a whirlwind of fear and hypnosis, adventures and modernity: from Benjamin's Germany and Korczak's Poland, with the invention of programs for children and adolescents, to fascist Italy, with audience records for the magazine I 4 moschettieri di Nizza and Morbelli. In the background, the United States with Wells and MacLeish who, by playing on the edge of credibility, announced the landing of Martians and mysterious foreign conquerors on the microphone. The second part of the volume is dedicated to the Italian post-war period, when writers systematically collaborated with radio stations, creating important works whose merit is also to focus and enhance the potential of an artistic genre which was still being defined and developed. Sacchettini, through the additional use of unpublished scripts, analyses radio plays by Savinio, Gadda, Pratolini and Dessí: auteur texts for a medium which would belong to writers for a very long time

    Abstract: What is the night? How can we define it and mark its edges? The gaze of those observing it is more or less mobile; does the night maintain its function as a frame? How does the difficulty to see clearly favour the artistic invention, the wondering on the infinite and death, the questions on the imaginary, the dream, the memory and the oblivion? Anna Dolfi started from questions like these in devising a book of great novelty and suggestion which, between nocturnes and music, wonders how literature, painting, cinema, opera, popular traditions and songs have narrated about blindness and vision, obsession and fear, or said nights were "tender", desperate, sublime, mysterious and mystical, told about nights of 'sickness', of repairing nights, white nights and sleepless nights, when the attempt is to resist while creating in order to challenge the breaking of dawn. The icon of Mozart's Queen of night, together with that of Schönberg's Pierrot, has accompanied about fifty Italian and foreign scholars and young researchers in an almost backlit way; they started from the 18th century and from Ossian's songs, continuing along a European night-themed path supported by theorists (Nietzsche, Bachelard, Jankélévitch...) and music (Mozart, Chopin, Schubert, Schumann, Fauré, Debussy, Britten...), and have worked on Novalis, Hölderlin, German Romanticism, Rilke, Celan, Müller, Hugo, Chenier, Baudelaire , Proust, Cocteau, Bonnefoy and many others, declining the Italian nocturnes from the graveyard elegies of Pindemonte to Leopardi, Di Giacomo, D'Annunzio, Onofri, Campana, Saba, Ungaretti, Sbarbaro, Montale, Penna, Pavese, Gatto, Caproni, Luzi, Bigongiari , Fortini, Jacobbi, Ripellino, Pasolini, Giudici, Rosselli, Sanguineti, De Signoribus, la Anedda, Magrelli and such. The work opens with unpublished Portuguese texts by Ruggero Jacobbi, and with verses and translations of De Signoribus and Vegliante. Starting with Donizetti's night, the volume comes to the night of different Italian singers and songwriters (De Gregori, Dalla and more), pushing the limit of electric nocturnes which, through poetry, reveal the urban glimpses of a tormented society between the end of the century and the beginning of the millennium

    Abstract: Drawing from diverse critical traditions from Latin-America and Europe, this work posits the landscape as the pathway to the hidden, dark depths of Robert Walser's and Bernardo Carvalho's literary projects. Behind the deceivingly idyllic or exotic sceneries lies a fictional stage riddled with irony and failure, with anti-heroes and outcasts who, with their dying breaths, narrate a world that is slowly undoing itself

That era's sense of space - what August Schmarsow called its Raumgefühl - shaped the narratives of Thomas Mann. This study examines Mann's literary concepts of space and interprets them less in terms of particular texts than as descriptions of material culture. It also explores the discourse, history, and ideology behind those concepts

In this book Jan Coetzee invites us to critically inquire into the aims, the content, and the context of the stories contained in a collection of old books from an old world. Without opening these old texts and without converting the original print on the pages to meaning and message, Coetzee brings the books into a dialogue with each other. Together with accompanying sculpted and/or found objects these books take on a new, broader function. By gathering them in one volume they attain a different character and tell us more than what the individual books ever could

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: Fellow Inklings J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis may have belonged to different branches of Christianity, but they both made use of a faith-based environmentalist ethic to counter the mid-twentieth-century's triple threats of fascism, utilitarianism, and industrial capitalism. In Fire and Snow, Marc DiPaolo explores how the apocalyptic fantasy tropes and Christian environmental ethics of the Middle-earth and Narnia sagas have been adapted by a variety of recent writers and filmmakers of "climate fiction," a growing literary and cinematic genre that grapples with the real-world concerns of climate change, endless wars, and fascism, as well as the role religion plays in easing or escalating these apocalyptic-level crises. Among the many other well-known climate fiction narratives examined in these pages are Game of Thrones, The Hunger Games, The Handmaid's Tale, Mad Max, and Doctor Who. Although the authors of these works stake out ideological territory that differs from Tolkien's and Lewis's, DiPaolo argues that they nevertheless mirror their predecessors' ecological concerns. The Christians, Jews, atheists, and agnostics who penned these works agree that we all need to put aside our cultural differences and transcend our personal, socioeconomic circumstances to work together to save the environment. Taken together, these works of climate fiction model various ways in which a deep ecological solidarity might be achieved across a broad ideological and cultural spectrum

Or was he a supreme example of a modern man forever divided and never fully known to himself? This volume reads the dialogue of contradictory cultural voices in Joyce's works-revolutionary and reactionary, critical and subject to critique, marginal and central. It includes ten essays that identify repressed elements in Joyce's writings and examine how psychic and cultural repressions persistently surface in his texts. Contributors include Joseph A. Boone, Marilyn L. Brownstein, Jay Clayton, Laura Doyle, Susan Stanford Friedman, Christine Froula, Ellen Carol Jones, Alberto Moreirias, Richard Pearce, and Robert Spoo

    Abstract: Uncertainty is a fundamental part of the human condition. Experiences thwart expectations, and the world is in constant need of interpretation, evaluation and disambiguation. When writing about the past, historians can approach this uncertainty in different ways and either eliminate it from their history or enact it. This book examines the dynamics between historiography and uncertainty in the works of Livy and Velleius Paterculus. Combining close readings and theoretical reflection, it develops a distinct concept of temporal and hermeneutic uncertainty and builds on this concept to shed new light on the narrative composition of their histories. It has been argued that narrative is an essential part of human life and civilization. While engaging with recent approaches to the theory of narrative, Uncertainty in Livy and Velleius explores historiographical narrative as a mode of grappling with uncertainty

    Abstract: Les idées du formalisme russe des années 1910-1920 attirent de plus en plus l'attention des historiens : ce sont des idées vivantes, capables de féconder la réflexion d'aujourd'hui. Dans le présent ouvrage, elles sont examinées dans une perspective élargie qui ne se réduit pas à la poétique mais embrasse la théorie générale de la culture. Les formalistes russes ont pu reprendre des recherches des sociologues (celles notamment de l'école sociologique française) pour définir un champ hors-textuel de « la vie quotidienne littéraire » ; ils ont entrevu l'importance des modèles énergétiques de la culture, complémentaires aux explications sémiotiques et rendant compte de la forme dynamique d'un texte. Celle-ci, selon leur intuition, est externe plutôt qu'interne, ce qui permet d'interpréter la création verbale comme une « pensée du dehors », débouchant sur l'action humaine

    Abstract: In 1857, following the publication of Madame Bovary, Flaubert was charged with having committed an "outrage to public morality and religion." Dominick LaCapra, an intellectual historian with wide-ranging literary interests, here examines this remarkable trial. LaCapra draws on material from Flaubert's correspondence, the work of literary critics, and Jean-Paul Sartre's analysis of Flaubert. LaCapra maintains that Madame Bovary is at the intersection of the traditional and the modern novel, simultaneously invoking conventional expectations and subverting them.In 1857, following the publication of Madame Bovary, Flaubert was charged with having committed an "outrage to public morality and religion."

    Abstract: Considéré longtemps comme une grave faute, l'anachronisme a été réévalué pour en souligner les dimensions heuristiques. Acte délibéré ou involontaire, l'anachronisme peut ouvrir la voie aussi bien à une relecture du passé qu'à une réinterprétation du présent, nous permettant de repenser la « marche des temps » (Siegfried Kracauer) et de se pencher autrement sur les rapports que nous établissons à la fois avec le présent d'où écrit l'auteur, avec le passé que cet auteur réinvestit et avec le présent d'où nous lisons ses textes. L'objet de cet ouvrage est une revalorisation de l'anachronisme dont nous montrons aussi bien le potentiel poïétique que la dimension heuristique et interprétative de l'anachronisme en littérature. Cervantès, Camões, Chateaubriand, Gautier, Flaubert, Rimbaud Laforgue, Queneau, Perrault, Peter Handke, Thiéfaine, Pasolini, Jacques Demy, Kennely, Thomas Ostermeier, témoignent ici du potentiel poétique des « anachronismes créateurs »

    Philostratros' Life of Apollonios of Tyana and its Literary Context (2018)

    Keywords: Literature: history & criticism
    Abstract: This book surveys a range of intersections between the fictitious biography of the sage Apollonios of Tyana by Philostratos and selected prose narratives of the imperial period. The survey considers both pagan and Christian literature and includes both parallels to the philosophical ideology of the Life of Apollonios and features that embellish and enhance the Life as a work of literature. The book's various themes and topics are held together by a common thread: the hero's virtue, in particular his sōphrosynē, which encapsulates not only his wise-man status but also his novelistic traits (sōphrosynē is of central importance in the Greek romance), and which contributes to the interpretation both of Apollonios as hero and of the work's generic affinities. The characterisation of Apollonios and the contextualisation of his biography are equally served by the discussion of manifestations of erōs in the Life of Apollonios as echoes of a popular, indeed irresistible theme to the author; of travel as an intergeneric metaphor for spiritual progression; and, finally, of the sage's relationship with the written word - a relationship that further reveals the narrative's authenticatory interests and precarious realism

    Abstract: Despite the many studies on the author and the wealth of data on his academic education, relatively little was known of the high school years of Giorgio Bassani and the decisive encounters during those years. This book, rich in data and discoveries, traces precisely that dark area, identifies in Francesco Viviani the first of the Masters who, well beyond the period spent in the classrooms, would have exerted a profound influence on the future writer. The Greek and Latin texts read in those distant times are among those indicated by Professor Guzzo in Dietro la porta (Behind the Door), confirming the profoundly educational role that classical culture had had for the genesis of the ethical commitment and the search for truth which is the basis of all the Bassanian writing. Catullo, Alceo and especially Orazio will become for Bassani, according to Claudio Cazzola's analysis, examples to be emulated with refined allusive art, suggesting a compositional method that sees in a tireless limae labor the secret and authentic justification for the existence not only of Ferrara novel but also of its author

    Abstract: Giorgio Caproni is certainly among the most loved Italian poets of the 20th century. Anna Dolfi used this widespread passion to involve not only well-known scholars of Caproni, but also young researchers, in new research activities. This results in a considerably rich book which, together with an overall vision, offers a series of hermeneutical insights on themes which were not as frequently investigated until then (memory, bestiaries and so on), by combining new readings of exemplary texts with unpublished documents, with reflections on language and poetry, on musical, pictorial and mythical suggestions, never forgetting Caproni's activity for translation, self-commentary and civic commitment. The book is functionally divided into Percorsi e attraversamenti, Letture (e immediati dintorni), Risultanze tra/dalle carte d'archivio, which enhances the diversity of the critical commentaries and the close comparisons, of the surveys and experiments of comment, of explication de texte, and highlights the great technical skill and the extreme lyrical depth of an author who, between cantability and dissonances, arpeggios and apostrophes, cabalettas and cadences, flourishes and delays, vocalizations and little verses, recoveries and leave, talkativeness and aphasia, was able to interpret the contradictory research, the questions, the fears, the faults and the incurable wounds of our time
