Download or read book Imagining Women s Conventual Spaces in France 1600 1800 written by Barbara R. Woshinsky and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending history, architecture and literary analysis, this ground-breaking study explores the convent's place in the early modern imagination. After the Council of Trent imposed strict claustral enclosure, the nun became an intensified object of desire in male-authored narratives. Convents also inspired feminutopian discourses by women writers. Recent criticism has identified spaces that women have made their own: the ruelle, the salon, the hearth of fairy tales. Woshinsky's book definitively adds the convent to this list.

Download or read book The Poetry of Francisco de la Torre written by John Gethin Hughes and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1982-12-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francisco de la Torre has long been praised as an outstanding poet in the mould of Garcilaso de la Vega and his simplicity of style and soft, gentle, Arcadian environment of his poetry have been emphasized. In this volume Professor Hughes attempts to define more accurately the position of Francisco de la Torre's verse in the evolution of Spanish poetry in the sixteenth century, revealing that Torre's vision of the pastoral world and his poetic language show him to be a transitional poet of considerable quality and substance and not merely an imitator of Garcilaso. Hughes demonstrates that while some of Torre's poetry follows a general pastoral pattern, his descriptions are characterized by a sense of movement through a shifting perspective and that even in poems with a traditional pastoral setting, the descriptions sometimes negate the pastoral qualities. The author also shows that Torre, rather than looking back towards Garcilaso and his contemporaries, is already anticipating – especially in his stylistic technique and in his view of nature – the attitude of the seventeenth century.

Download or read book Poetry in France written by Keith Aspley and published by Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although organised chronologically, POETRY IN FRANCE does not offer an analytical history of an entity that can be called 'French poetry'. Rather than presenting the story of a poetic tradition that starts with the Chanson de Roland and the troubadour poets and Passes via the Renaissance, Classicism and Romanticism to Baudelaire, Mallarme and twentieth-century poetry, the book describes a plurality of traditions: a history of discontinuities and conflicts, rejections and re-adoptions." "Within such a rich plurality, the reader of this volume will discern recurrent threads of unifying concerns such as the debate over the frontiers of prose, song and verse and the question of whether the correct poetic language should be elevated and formal or democratically everyday. The nature of inspiration and the centrality of the imagination in poetic creation are also explored, along with a consideration of the figure of the poet - entertainer or educator, prophet or politician, 'maker' or madman. Discussions of the changing position of poetry in society are also included, as is the debate over the nature of a canon in literature. The result is not intended to be a formal set of views on poets or a chronological literary history, rather it is an exploration of the nature of poetry in France, a consideration of its changing conceptions, functions, and forms."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Literary and Linguistic Theories in Eighteenth century France written by Edward Nye and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Linguistic" theories in the eighteenth-century are also theories of literature and art, and it is probably better, therefore, to think of them as "aesthetic" theories. As such, they are answers to the age-old question "what is beauty?," but formulated, also, to respond to contemporary concerns. Edward Nye considers a wide range of authors from these two perspectives and draws the following conclusions: etymology is a theory of poetry, dictionaries of synonymy, prosody and metaphor are theories of preciosity, and Sensualism is a theory of artistic representation.

Download or read book Theodore De Banville written by David Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodore de Banville (1823-1891) was a prolific poet, dramatist, critic and prose fiction writer whose significant contribution to poetic and aesthetic debates in nineteenth-century France has long been overlooked. Despite his profound influence on major writers such as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine and Mallarme, Banville polarised critical opinion throughout his fifty-year career. While supporters championed him as a virtuoso of French verse, many critics dismissed his formal pyrotechnics, effervescent rhythms and extravagant rhymes as mere clowning. This book explores how Banville's remarkably coherent body of verse theory and practice, full of provocative energy and mischievous humour, shaped debates about poetic value and how to identify it during a period of aesthetic uncertainty caused by diverse social, economic, political and artistic factors. It features a detailed new reading of Banville's most infamous and misunderstood text, the Petit Traitede poesie francaise, as well as extended analyses of verse collections such as Les Stalactites, Odes funambulesques, Les Exiles, Trente-six Ballades and Rondels, illuminated by wide reference to Banville's plays, fiction and journalism. Evans elucidates not only aesthetic tensions at the heart of nineteenth-century French verse, but also a centuries-old tension between verse mechanisms and an unquantifiable, mysterious and elusive poeticity which emerges as one of the defining narratives of poetic value from the Middle Ages, via the Grands Rhetoriqueurs and Dada, to the experiments of the OuLiPo and beyond.

Download or read book The Lives of Ovid in Seventeenth Century French Culture written by Helena Taylor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeenth-century France saw one of the most significant 'culture wars' Europe has ever known. Culminating in the Quarrel of the Ancients and Moderns, this was a confrontational, transitional time for the reception of the classics. Helena Taylor explores responses to the life of the ancient Roman poet, Ovid, within this charged atmosphere. To date, criticism has focused on the reception of Ovid's enormously influential work in this period, but little attention has been paid to Ovid's lives and their uses. Through close analysis of a diverse corpus, which includes prefatory Lives, novels, plays, biographical dictionaries, poetry, and memoirs, this study investigates how the figure of Ovid was used to debate literary taste and modernity and to reflect on translation practice. It shows how the narrative of Ovid's life was deployed to explore the politics and poetics of exile writing; and to question the relationship between fiction and history. In so doing, this book identifies two paradoxes: although an ancient poet, Ovid became key to the formulation of aspects of self-consciously 'modern' cultural movements; and while Ovid's work might have adorned the royal palaces of Versailles, the poetry he wrote after being exiled by the Emperor Augustus made him a figure through which to question the relationship between authority and narrative. The Lives of Ovid in Seventeenth-Century French Culture not only nuances understanding of both Ovid and life-writing in this period, but also offers a fresh perspective on classical reception: its paradoxes, uses, and quarrels.
