Book John Fletcher s Rome

Download or read book John Fletcher s Rome written by Domenico Lovascio and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Fletcher’s Rome is the first book to explore John Fletcher’s engagement with classical antiquity. Like Shakespeare and Jonson, Fletcher wrote, alone or in collaboration, a number of Roman plays: Bonduca, Valentinian, The False One and The Prophetess. Unlike Shakespeare’s or Jonson’s, however, Fletcher’s Roman plays have seldom been the subject of critical discussion. Domenico Lovascio’s ground-breaking study examines these plays as a group for the first time, thus identifying disorientation as the unifying principle of Fletcher’s portrayal of imperial Rome. John Fletcher’s Rome argues that Fletcher’s dramatization of ancient Rome exudes a sense of detachment and scepticism as to the authority of Roman models resulting from his irreverent approach to the classics. The book sheds new light on Fletcher’s intellectual life, his vision of history, and the interconnections between these plays and the rest of his canon.

Book The French Booktrade and the  permission Simple  of 1777

Download or read book The French Booktrade and the permission Simple of 1777 written by Robert L. Dawson and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1777 a series of royal decrees heralded the restructuring of the French booktrade. An important innovation was the creation of a public domain for certain kinds of books whose privil ge (or 'copyright') had expired. In order not to relinquish control over a vast category of books, the government decided to implement a new kind of printing and publishing permit - the 'permission simple'. As historian and bibliologist, the author examines the many issues involved in the implementation of the permit, explaining the circumstances that led to the creation of a public domain, the economic policies of the government with respect to the 'permission simple', and what exactly the procedures entailed. Other issues concerning the permit are also covered: edition runs; a number of illicit activities; the relationship of free trade, the physiocrats and Turgot to booktrade policies; the significance of Diderot's Lettre sur le commerce de la librairie. The study is largely based on hitherto unpublished sources and on books printed by virtue of the permit. Included in the volume is an edition of the 'permission simple' ledgers. This is the first time that the registers of an entire category of French books printed by virtue of a given authorisation have been published. They contain references to nearly two thousand editions - many today lost - of a wide variety of works. The entries are invaluable for the information they provide about the output of many important provincial printers and booksellers. Together the two registers provide a unique picture of French book production during the dozen years or so preceding the Revolution.

Book Bestiaires de Voltaire

Book excerpt: Christiane Mervaud, 'Bestiaires de Voltaire' Pourquoi s'int resser la pr sence des b tes dans l'uvre de Voltaire? Le nombre d'occurrences relatives au r gne animal ne peut laisser indiff rent. Sans n gliger l'apport de la biographie, la recherche s'est efforc e d'abord de d terminer comment la philosophie de Voltaire r agit l' preuve de l'animalit , ce qui a conduit souligner son rejet de la th orie cart sienne de l'animal-machine, son int r t pour les singularit s de la nature. Mais si Voltaire se tient au courant des d veloppements des sciences naturelles, il s'int resse surtout, en historien, au statut de l'animal dans les soci t s et son r le dans les mythologies. Les b tes servent d'observatoire privil gi pour juger de la marche de l'esprit humain. La typologie zoologique d pend d'une typologie textuelle. Alors que la m nagerie du pol miste exploite sans vergogne pr jug s et clich s, dans les bestiaires fabuleux et religieux se d ploie une activit ludique et d sacralisante. Le bestiaire amoureux se permet des variations sur le th me de la bestialit , dans une atmosph re irr elle ou surr elle. L'animal est, bien des titres, un r v lateur de la pens e de Voltaire, une pierre de touche de sa philosophie, un condens de recherches historico-religieuses, un d clic pour la cr ation litt raire, un champ ouvert sa r flexion et sa fantaisie. Fr d ric Deloffre, 'Gen se de Candide tude de la cr ation des personnages et de l' laboration du roman' La pr sente tude ne consid re pas Candide comme une uvre philosophique, mais comme un roman. Voltaire a toujours profess que l'magination ne cr e pas, mais ne fait qu'arranger ce que lui fournit la m moire; nous avons donc recherch quels v nements personnels lui avaient fourni le sch ma de son histoire, quels personnages rencontr s lui avaient inspir ses h ros. Nous n'avons retenu comme significatives que les donn es qui se rattachent des ensembles, parmi lesquels nous avons privil gi celui qui s'organise autour du lieu fondateur, Thunder-ten-Tronckh, transposition satirique du ch teau de B ckeburg. C'est l que Voltaire a rencontr Henri Le Ma tre, chapelain du lieu, dont il fera Pangloss, et Mme Bentinck, la 'franche westphalienne' qui pr tera des traits Cun gonde; c'est l aussi que fut voqu Fr d ric II, qui passera dans le second chapitre du roman sous le nom du 'roi de Bulgares'. Ce 'fonds m moriel' de B ckeburg/Thunder-ten-tronckh fournit la mati re des quatre premiers chapitres, consacr s respectivement aux conversations de B ckeburg, Pangloss, Cun gonde, et aux relations entre 'Candide et le roi des Bulgares'. Le chapitre 5 tudie le processus par lequel le jeu de r les entre Voltaire et Mme Bentinck finit par rejoindre la fois le roman et la r alit . C'est un nouvel aspect du romancier qui se profile ainsi derri re le philosophe.
