Download or read book Women and Curiosity in Early Modern England and France written by Line Cottegnies and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Women and Curiosity in Early Modern England and France, the rehabilitation of female curiosity between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries is thoroughly investigated for the first time, in a comparative perspective that confronts two epistemological and religious traditions. In the context of the early modern blooming “culture of curiosity”, women’s desire for knowledge made them both curious subjects and curious objects, a double relation to curiosity that is meticulously inquired into by the authors in this volume. The social, literary, theological and philosophical dimensions of women’s persistent association with curiosity offer a rich contribution to cultural history.

Book excerpt: Brièvement un individu hideux, auquel je conseille de porter un masque de cire plutôt que présenter son abject visage au monde, m'expliqua qu'il préparait un recueil de récits étranges et grotesques.

Download or read book Theaters of Error written by Pascale LaFountain and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers provocative readings of canonical Enlightenment dramas that reflect and shape the period’s changing understanding of error. With striking interdisciplinary connections to theater treatises as well as works from the philosophical, legal, and medical discourses, it tracks the relocation of error from the moral to the physical realm, a movement that begins with Lessing and continues through the turn of the nineteenth century. Featuring detailed analyses of Lessing’s Miß Sara Sampson, Diderot’s Le Fils naturel, Schiller’s Die Räuber, and Kleist’s Die Familie Schroffenstein alongside rich close readings of diverse primary sources, ranging from previously untranslated acting treatises by Sainte-Albine and Engel to texts from the German Archiv des Criminalrechts, this study introduces the reader to new Enlightenment sources and compellingly concludes that ultimately it is no longer evil, but rather bodily irregularities and mistakes in reading the body that become the driving principle of Enlightenment drama.
Download or read book Le Champ litt raire 1860 1900 written by Michael Pakenham and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1996 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les textes qui constituent les vingt-neuf chapitres de ce volume ont été écrits en hommage à Michael Pakenham. Il s'agissait d'exprimer en peu de mots la diversité et la richesse des travaux de Michael Pakenham, de bien délimiter cette période de l'histoire littéraire française à la connaissance de laquelle ils ont tant contribué et, en même temps, d'ouvrir le plus d'horizons possibles. Le 'champ littéraire, 1860-1900', nous semblait le mieux signaler ce lieu où l'indécis au précis se joint. De plus, ce titre avait l'avantage de profiter -- sans scrupules d'ailleurs -- d'un terme que les travaux de Pierre Bourdieu ont mis en valeur, sans donner de consignes trop contraignantes quant à la manière de s'en servir. La première partie du volume s'ouvre sur des questions d'ordre théorique soulevées dans Les Règles de l'art. Genèse et structure du champ littéraire, (1992), mais, par la suite, s'élargit, prend du champ justement, pour s'aventurer dans des domaines où les recherches et l'enseignement de notre collègue ont tant porté le thème parisien, les rapports littérature-peinture, les poètes connus et moins connus, et enfin les chemins les plus divers de la littérature.

Download or read book The Design of Rabelais s written by Edwin M. Duval and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 1997 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En analysant le “dessin” du Tiers Livre - sa composition formelle aussi bien que son intention sous-jacente - E. Duval dégage la cohérence profonde d'une œuvre qui passe le plus souvent pour ambiguë et “ménippéenne”. Cette cohérence, qui se manifeste simultanément à deux niveaux (celui du dessin de Pantagruel dans la quête, celui du dessin de Rabelais dans son livre), permet à l'auteur non seulement de résoudre plusieurs apories de la critique rabelaisienne, mais de découvrir dans le Tiers Livre des dimensions et des ironies inaperçues jusqu'à présent.
Download or read book A Taste for the Foreign written by Ellen R. Welch and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-14 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Taste for the Foreign examines foreignness as a crucial aesthetic category for the development of prose fiction from Jacques Amyot’s 1547 translation of The Ethiopian Story to Antoine Galland’s early eighteenth-century version of The Thousand and One Nights. While fantastic storylines and elements of magic were increasingly shunned by a neo-classicist literary culture that valued verisimilitude above all else, writers and critics surmised that the depiction of exotic lands could offer a superior source for the novelty, variety, and marvelousness that constituted fiction’s appeal. In this sense, early modern fiction presents itself as privileged site for thinking through the literary and cultural stakes of exoticism, or the taste for the foreign. Long before the term exoticism came into common parlance in France, fiction writers thus demonstrated their understanding of the special kinds of aesthetic pleasure produced by evocations of foreignness, developing techniques to simulate those delights through imitations of the exotic. As early modern readers eagerly consumed travel narratives, maps, and international newsletters, novelists discovered ways to blur the distinction between true and imaginary representations of the foreign, tantalizing readers with an illusion of learning about the faraway lands that captured their imaginations. This book analyzes the creative appropriations of those scientific or documentary forms of writing that claimed to inform the French public about exotic places. Concentrating on the most successful examples of some of the most important sub-genres of prose fiction in the long seventeenth century—heroic romances, shorter urban novels, fictional memoirs, and extraordinary voyages—the book examines how these types of fiction creatively appropriate the scientific or documentary forms of writing that claimed to inform the French public about exotic places.
