Download or read book Daniel Hal vy Henri Petit et les Cahiers verts written by Toby Garfitt and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage collectif, qui rassemble les travaux d'un colloque tenu à la Maison Française d'Oxford en 2002 sous le titre 'Henri Petit et son cercle', a deux buts: mieux comprendre la contribution apportée par Daniel Halévy et sa collection Les Cahiers verts à la vie littéraire des années 20 et étudier les débuts littéraires d'Henri Petit et de son cercle en rapport avec le volume collectif Écrits (Grasset, Les Cahiers verts, 1927), à l'occasion des soixante-quinze ans de celui-ci. L'année 1927 est une année charnière. C'est celle du centenaire de la publication de la Préface de Cromwell, et le Romantisme est de nouveau à la mode. Le dernier numéro des Cahiers verts avant Écrits est consacré à Anna de Noailles, peut-être la dernière des Romantiques. Mais en même temps un renouveau du classicisme semble se dessiner. Quelle est la place de cette collection dans l'histoire de l'édition et de la littérature? Et non seulement des Cahiers verts, mais de Daniel Halévy lui-même, dont le salon accueillait tant de personnalités de l'époque? De quel bord les jeunes écrivains d'Écrits pencheront-ils? Ils sont pratiquement inconnus à l'époque: Chamson, Malraux, Grenier, Petit. Parmi eux, ce dernier passe pour être le plus doué. Comment le situer par rapport à ses contemporains? Une équipe franco-britannique des meilleurs spécialistes répond à ces questions.

Download or read book The Double Vocation written by John M. Dunaway and published by Summa Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to redefine the double role of those writers who have often been referred to as "French Catholic novelists." After a brief overview of the Catholic Renaissance movement in modern literature, three acknowledged geniuses in this "sub-genre" - Georges Bernanos, Francois Mauriac, and Julien Green - are meticulously reexamined in light of their Christian vocation. For the first time in English, the writings of the Franco-Russian novelist, Vladimir Volkoff, are also discussed in considerable detail. The book concludes with a theoretical chapter that raises troubling questions that apply to the "double vocation," namely: What is the distinctive character of fiction when it is written by a professing Christian? Are the two vocations of Christian and novelist fully compatible of mutually exclusive?

Download or read book Mauriac written by Paul Cooke and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2003 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although internationally renowned as a novelist, journalist, and essayist, Nobel Prize-winning author François Mauriac (1885-1970) never established a reputation as a poet. Yet it was Maurice Barrès's favourable review of his first collection of verse, Les Mains jointes, that launched Mauriac's career in 1910. He went on to publish three further collections of poems and insisted to the end of his life that, despite critical neglect of his verse, he remained first and foremost a poet. This book offers the first ever in-depth exploration of the whole of Mauriac's verse output. After a chapter tracing his general conception of poetry and comparing his ideas to those of other poets and theorists, each of Mauriac's verse collections is analysed in turn, as are many of his poems that were published exclusively in literary journals. A final chapter explores the significant relationship between Mauriac's verse and his novels, revealing the multiple connections between these two series of texts. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in twentieth-century French poetry and, more generally, to those interested in the relationship between verse and prose.

Download or read book A New History of French Literature written by Denis Hollier and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1998-08-19 with total page 1202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for the general reader, this splendid introduction to French literature from 842 A.D.—the date of the earliest surviving document in any Romance language—to the present decade is the most compact and imaginative single-volume guide available in English to the French literary tradition. In fact, no comparable work exists in either language. It is not the customary inventory of authors and titles but rather a collection of wide-angled views of historical and cultural phenomena. It sets before us writers, public figures, criminals, saints, and monarchs, as well as religious, cultural, and social revolutions. It gives us books, paintings, public monuments, even TV shows. Written by 164 American and European specialists, the essays are introduced by date and arranged in chronological order, but here ends the book’s resemblance to the usual history of literature. Each date is followed by a headline evoking an event that indicates the chronological point of departure. Usually the event is literary—the publication of an original work, a journal, a translation, the first performance of a play, the death of an author—but some events are literary only in terms of their repercussions and resonances. Essays devoted to a genre exist alongside essays devoted to one book, institutions are presented side by side with literary movements, and large surveys appear next to detailed discussions of specific landmarks. No article is limited to the “life and works” of a single author. Proust, for example, appears through various lenses: fleetingly, in 1701, apropos of Antoine Galland’s translation of The Thousand and One Nights; in 1898, in connection with the Dreyfus Affair; in 1905, on the occasion of the law on the separation of church and state; in 1911, in relation to Gide and their different treatments of homosexuality; and at his death in 1922. Without attempting to cover every author, work, and cultural development since the Serments de Strasbourg in 842, this history succeeds in being both informative and critical about the more than 1,000 years it describes. The contributors offer us a chance to appreciate not only French culture but also the major critical positions in literary studies today. A New History of French Literature will be essential reading for all engaged in the study of French culture and for all who are interested in it. It is an authoritative, lively, and readable volume.
Download or read book Maria Cross written by Conor Cruise O'Brien and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first literary phase in the brilliant and protean career of Conor Cruise O'Brien was his work as critic for Dublin literary magazine The Bell, which begat this collection of essays first published in 1952 (under the pseudonym 'Donat O'Donnell', as O'Brien was then a working civil servant.) In it, O'Brien set himself to a study of 'the patterns of several exceptionally vivid imaginations which are permeated by Catholicism' - from Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh to Francois Mauriac and Paul Claudel - and to analyse 'what those patterns might share'. The originality and flair of Maria Cross won O'Brien many vocal admirers, among them Dag Hammarskjold, cerebral Secretary-General of the United Nations. 'A most interesting and at times brilliant book, admirably and wittily written.' New Statesman 'One of the most acute and stimulating books of literary criticism to be published for some years.'

Download or read book The Hemingway Log written by Brewster Chamberlin and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few if any writers have made a mark as broad and deep as Ernest Hemingway, whose life and work—and even image—continue to permeate American culture more than a half-century after his death in 1961. And never has there been a chronology of the writer’s life and times as comprehensive, detailed, and useful as The Hemingway Log. For more than a dozen years, Brewster Chamberlin “has been compiling and wonderfully annotating and continuously updating what amounts to almost a daybook calendar of Hemingway’s life,” as author Paul Hendrickson noted in his acclaimed Hemingway’s Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost. At long last available to readers and scholars, this chronology extends from the birth of Mark Twain (whose Huckleberry Finn, Hemingway said, was the source of all modern American literature) to the 2013 publication of the second volume (of a projected seventeen) of the Hemingway letters. Throughout, the events and dates that had any influence whatsoever on the writer are detailed day by day. Who won the Nobel Prize in literature each year, for instance, or the Pulitzer? What works of poetry, fiction, or drama were published? What was happening in the world and in the country, and how did it relate to Hemingway? Within this clarifying context, the chronological facts of the writer’s own life and work unfold: literary production and publishing; travels and households; activities and relevant occurrences; relations with family, friends, lovers, and enemies. Drawing on biographies, memoirs, and various Hemingway collections and websites, as well as the full range of original sources such as letters, fishing logs, notebooks, and manuscripts, The Hemingway Log presents the most extensive and accurate chronology of Hemingway’s life and times—and in the process clears up many of the inconsistencies and factual errors that riddle accounts of the writer’s life and work. Any future scholar of Hemingway will find the book not just invaluable but absolutely necessary, and any serious reader of Hemingway will find it irresistible.
