Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon his death in 1898, the French Symbolist poet Stephane Mallarmé (b. 1842) left behind a body of published work which though modest in quantity was to have a seminal influence on subsequent poetry and aesthetic theory. He also enjoyed an unparalleled reputation for extending help and encouragement to those who sought him out. Rosemary Lloyd has produced a fascinating literary biography of the poet and his period, offering a subtle exploration of the mind and letters of one of the giants of modern European poetry.Every Tuesday, from the late 1870s on, Mallarmé hosted gatherings that became famous as the "Mardis" and that were attended by a cross section of significant writers, artists, thinkers, and musicians in fin-de-siecle France, England, and Belgium. Through these gatherings and especially through a voluminous correspondence—eventually collected in eleven volumes—Mallarmé developed and recorded his friendships with Paul Valery, Andre Gide, Berthe Morisot, and many others. Attractively written and scrupulously documented, Mallarme: The Poet and His Circle is unique in offering a biographical account of the poet's literary practice and aesthetics which centers on that correspondence.
Download or read book Correspondance written by Émile Zola and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Émile ZOLA (1840-1902), est né à Paris, de père italien, un ingénieur de travaux publics, et mère française. Il devient la figure principale de l ́école française de la fiction naturaliste, de laquelle « Thérèse Raquin » (1867) est le premier exemple. Le premier volume, « La Fortune des Rougon », de son oeuvre principale, « Les Rougon-Macquart », qu ́il définit comme une « histoire naturelle et social d ́une famille sous les Second Empire », apparait en 1871. Dix-neuf volumes suivront, le dernier, « Le docteur Pascal » apparaîtra en 1893. Dans cette série de romans, Zola est influencé par les théories contemporaines de l ́hérédité et de la science expérimentale. Le récit retrace les activités des deux branches d ́une famille : les Rougon et les Macquart, dont la conduite est perçue comme conditionnée, à travers plusieurs générations, par le milieu et par les caractéristiques familiales héritées, notamment le penchant pour l ́alcool et l ́instabilité mentale. Le résultat est un panorama de la vie en France, particulièrement de la classe moyenne et ouvrière, pendant le XIXe siècle, fait avec une documentation rigoureuse et systématique et focalisé sur le vice, la misère, les instincts et les appétits humains. Avec toute son ardeur combattante, son courage et le poids de sa notoriété, Emile Zola s'engage dans l'affaire Dreyfus en publiant plusieurs articles dont son célèbre "J'accuse" dans le journal "L'Aurore" du 13 janvier 1898. Il est très critiqué par les nationalistes et le procès qui s'en suit l'oblige à s'exiler pendant un an en Angleterre. A l'issue des "Les Rougon-Macquart", il veut montrer qu'il ne sait pas uniquement peindre les tares de la société. Séduit par les idées socialistes, il souhaite proposer des remèdes sous la forme d'une vision prophétique du devenir de l'homme dans ses "Quatre Evangiles : "Fécondité", "Travail", "Vérité". Le quatrième, "Justice", vient d'être commencé, lorsqu'il meurt "accidentellement" asphyxié dans son appartement.

Download or read book The Gates of Horn written by Harry Levin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1986-04-10 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The author explores this tradition in depth and defines it with a breadth of vision, a dynamic vigor and freedom rarely paralleled today....His method, flexible, generous, humane in the best sense of the word, eschews pedantry, dogma, useless theorizing and scholastic argumentation."--The New York Times Book Review. "I wish to make it clear that The Gates of Horn represents an outstanding critical accomplishment."--Saturday Review. In the Odyssey, Homer describes two gates of the imagination: one of ivory through which fictitious dreams pass, and the other of horn, through which nothing but the truth may pass. Realism is the type of literature that passes through the horn, and in this significant study of the genre Levin examines a major form of Realism--the French novel--and focuses on five of its masters--Stendahl, Balzac, Flaubert, Zola, and Proust. Now available in paperback, Levin's study is a veritable reconstruction of the artistic and intellectual life of a nation.

Download or read book George Sand written by Martine Reid and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The romantic and rebellious novelist George Sand, born in 1804 as Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, remains one of France’s most infamous and beloved literary figures. Thanks to a peerless translation by Gretchen van Slyke, Martine Reid’s acclaimed biography of Sand is now available in English. Drawing on recent French and English biographies of Sand as well as her novels, plays, autobiographical texts, and correspondence, Reid creates the most complete portrait possible of a writer who was both celebrated and vilified. Reid contextualizes Sand within the literature of the nineteenth century, unfolds the meaning and importance of her chosen pen name, and pays careful attention to Sand’s political, artistic, and scientific expressions and interests. The result is a candid, even-handed, and illuminating representation of a remarkable woman in remarkable times. With its clear, flowing language and impeccable scholarship, this Ernest Montusès Award–winning biography of the author of La Petite Fadette and A Winter in Majorca will be of great interest to those specializing in Sand and nineteenth-century literature—and to readers everywhere.

Book excerpt: Corruption is far from disappearing, yet now it inspires resignation rather than indignation - and as such, it has lost its power to scandalize. Jankowski claims that such transformations tell a tale. The state that once aspired to pre-eminence as the sole magnet of loyalty, touchstone of probity, and guarantor of right, has yielded significant ground to the individual who is now more likely to elevate his own dignity and cry scandal on his own behalf."--Jacket.

Download or read book The Paris Zone written by James Cannon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1970s, the colloquial term zone has often been associated with the troubled post-war housing estates on the outskirts of large French cities. However, it once referred to a more circumscribed space: the zone non aedificandi (non-building zone) which encircled Paris from the 1840s to the 1940s. This unusual territory, although marginal in a social and geographical sense, came to occupy a central place in Parisian culture. Previous studies have focused on its urban and social history, or on particular ways in which it was represented during particular periods. By bringing together and analysing a wider range of sources from the duration of the zone’s existence, this study offers a rich and nuanced account of how the area was perceived and used by successive generations of Parisian novelists (including Zola and Flaubert), poets, songwriters, artists, photographers, film-makers, politicians and town-planners. More generally, it aims to raise awareness of a neglected aspect of Parisian cultural history while pointing to links between current and past perceptions of the city’s periphery.
Download or read book The Brush and the Pen written by Dario Gamboni and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French symbolist artist Odilon Redon (1840–1916) seemed to thrive at the intersection of literature and art. Known as “the painter-writer,” he drew on the works of Poe, Baudelaire, Flaubert, and Mallarmé for his subject matter. And yet he concluded that visual art has nothing to do with literature. Examining this apparent contradiction, The Brush and the Pen transforms the way we understand Redon’s career and brings to life the interaction between writers and artists in fin-de-siècle Paris. Dario Gamboni tracks Redon’s evolution from collaboration with the writers of symbolism and decadence to a defense of the autonomy of the visual arts. He argues that Redon’s conversion was the symptom of a mounting crisis in the relationship between artists and writers, provoked at the turn of the century by the growing power of art criticism that foreshadowed the modernist separation of the arts into intractable fields. In addition to being a distinguished study of this provocative artist, The Brush and the Pen offers a critical reappraisal of the interaction of art, writing, criticism, and government institutions in late nineteenth-century France.
