Book excerpt: This is a very welcome contribution to the debate on the real effect of the United States on Yourcenar'slife and thought, a good read on a fascinating subject which critics have often treated dimissively.

Download or read book Marguerite Yourcenar s Hadrian written by Keith Bradley and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marguerite Yourcenar is best known as the author of the 1951 novel Mémoires d’Hadrien, her recreation of the life of the Roman emperor Hadrian. The work can be examined from the perspective of the issues raised by writing Roman imperial biography at large and the many ways in which Mémoires has a claim to historical authenticity. In Marguerite Yourcenar’s Hadrian, Keith Bradley explains how Mémoires d’Hadrien came to be written, gives details of Yourcenar’s own biography, and describes some of the intricate historical problems that her novel’s portrait of Hadrian presents. He draws on Yourcenar’s correspondence, her interviews with journalists, and her literary corpus as a whole, emphasizing Yourcenar’s profound knowledge of the ancient evidence on which her life of Hadrian is based and exploiting a wide range of contemporary Yourcenarian criticism. The book pays special attention to the methods by which Yourcenar believed Hadrian’s life history to be recoverable, compares examples of modern life-writing, and contrasts the procedures of conventional Roman biographers. Revealing how and why Mémoires d’Hadrien is as it is, Marguerite Yourcenar’s Hadrian illustrates how imaginative literary recreation is often little different from historical speculation.

Download or read book L influence de l histoire contemporaine dans l uvre de Marguerite Yourcenar written by Mireille Blanchet-Douspis and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L¿influence de l¿histoire contemporaine dans l¿¿uvre de Marguerite Yourcenar propose de montrer que, loin d¿être seulement un écrivain classique qui s¿intéresse à l¿histoire du passé, Marguerite Yourcenar ne cesse d¿évoquer l¿histoire contemporaine et en subit nettement l¿influence. La confrontation avec les historiens révèle que Le Labyrinthe du monde reflète avec fidélité les événements politiques, les réalités sociales et les mentalités du XIXème et du début du XXème siècles. Dans la représentation des siècles passés se profilent très fréquemment les préoccupations que vivent les contemporains de l¿écrivain. L¿intérêt de cet essai réside dans la mise en évidence de la répercussion des connaissances scientifiques sur la pensée de Marguerite Yourcenar. Sensible aux apports de la modernité tant dans ses idées que dans sa création littéraire mais profondément imprégnée de culture classique et convaincue de l¿universalité de l¿humanité, elle définit pour aujourd¿hui un humanisme qui réalise la synthèse entre les valeurs de l¿Antiquité, de l¿Orient et celles de l¿Occident moderne.

Download or read book We Met in Paris written by Joan E Howard and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace Frick introduced English-language readers all over the world to the distinguished French author Marguerite Yourcenar with her award-winning translation of Yourcenar’s novel Memoirs of Hadrian in 1954. European biographies of Yourcenar have often disparaged Frick and her relationship with Yourcenar, however. This work shows Frick as a person of substance in her own right, and paints a portrait of both women that is at once intimate and scrupulously documented. It contains a great deal of new information that will disrupt long-held beliefs about Yourcenar and may even shock some of her scholars and fans.

Download or read book A Frozen Woman written by Annie Ernaux and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A Frozen Woman charts Ernaux's teenage awakening, and then the parallel progression of her desire to be desirable and her ambition to fulfill herself in her chosen profession - with the inevitable conflict between the two. And then she is 30 years old, a teacher married to an executive, mother of two infant sons. She looks after their nice apartment, raises her children. And yet, like millions of other women, she has felt her enthusiasm and curiosity, her strength and her happiness, slowly ebb under the weight of her daily routine. The very condition that everyone around her seems to consider normal and admirable for a woman is killing her. While each of Ernaux's books contain an autobiographical element, A Frozen Woman, one of Ernaux's early works, concentrates the spotlight piercingly on Annie herself. Mixing affection, rage and bitterness, A Frozen Woman shows us Ernaux's developing art when she still relied on traditional narrative, before the shortened form emerged that has since become her trademark.

Download or read book Vietnam and the Colonial Condition of French Literature written by Leslie Barnes and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnam and the Colonial Condition of French Literature explores an aspect of modern French literature that has been consistently overlooked in literary histories: the relationship between the colonies—their cultures, languages, and people—and formal shifts in French literary production. Starting from the premise that neither cultural identity nor cultural production can be pure or homogenous, Leslie Barnes initiates a new discourse on the French literary canon by examining the work of three iconic French writers with personal connections to Vietnam: André Malraux, Marguerite Duras, and Linda Lê. In a thorough investigation of the authors’ linguistic, metaphysical, and textual experiences of colonialism, Barnes articulates a new way of reading French literature: not as an inward-looking, homogenous, monolingual tradition, but rather as a tradition of intersecting and interdependent peoples, cultures, and experiences. One of the few books to focus on Vietnam’s position within francophone literary scholarship, Barnes challenges traditional concepts of French cultural identity and offers a new perspective on canonicity and the division between “French” and “francophone” literature.
