Full textMusset's writing owes more than usually recognized to eighteenth-century libertine writers. This becomes clear when we remove old critical stereotypes and take a fresh look at his works. The very locations in which the stories take place hearken to the libertine tradition, drawing the picture of a sophisticated, worldly universe, confined to a few urban centres (Paris, Venice) and to some privileged, interior settings imbued with sensuality (boudoirs, petites-maisons). The key is evocation rather than description, literary reminiscences rather than the observation of reality. Musset's characters, too, display traits that set them in the tradition of the heroes of the libertine novel, in a relationship equally comprising admiration and desired imitation, as well as polemical opposition and reinterpretation. They are, notably, good talkers and seducers. Whether employed in dangerous and corrupting designs, or in more playful and lighthearted tones, their speech is marked by a language, a phrasing, a style, a seductive intent typical of libertine writing. This is precisely where we can recognize the most fruitful and most deeply rooted libertine heritage in Musset's works: an elegant and allusive language, which suggests eroticism and desire without vulgarity; a style composed of decent yet evocative metaphors, insinuating reticence, artful ellipses. It is finally a way of writing that elicits the reader's complicitous cooperation and irresistibly seduces him. Between reviving and transcending the libertine model, reusing and ironically distorting the clichés derived from this tradition, Musset's work develops its originality and its charm
Besle, Edwige. "Madame de Laisse, une femme de lettres au XVIIIème siècle, éléments pour une enquête biographique et littéraire." Orléans, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007ORLE1082.
Full textAuthor of five works between 1773 and 1778, Madam de Laisse since fell into the lapse of memory. Its life remained unknown, this work is thus presented in the form of an outline of its biography. However, a large side of its life remains still quite mysterious. If it is possible to follow it and to find which could be its youth, its life of woman, married with Mister de Laisse, then with the count de Garrault. Its existence for the revolutionary period remains opaque. Nevertheless, this study made it possible to better understand which was this woman writer and which was its circle of close friends. Some of her friends are transposed in a way more or less disguised in its books, in particular Mister Leroy de Fontigny. The major work Madam de Laisse forever studied. However, "Ouvrage sans titre, Minerve le donnera" is an interesting epistolary novel putting in scene two girls : Julie and Sophie. Novel of separation, since one is in France and the other in Italy, the two writers share thanks to the letters their emotions in front of the events which they face. The epistie dedicated to the queen Marie-Antoinette expresses the will of the author clearly to show that there is no happiness without virtue. She indicates, thanks to her novel, the dangers which the women must avoid and qualities that they must develop in order to be able to claim with a happy life

Full textIf popular almanacs are the most sold and read, other kinds are also published in the 18th century, initially and chiefly in Paris. It is a form of publication distinguished by a calendar, the annual term, new year's sales and a very little size. Each one deals with one subject, essentially frivolous poetry, history or science ; but their popular relationship is a discredit for this kind of books. They are often compiled, by rather youg and generally anonymous writers, to earn some money. Many booksellers published one, but only fitty or so are really active ; often, they have joined the trade-company recently and are without family support. Some lasting and profitable almanacs are published by rich printers and handed down from father to son ; but most of them, more precarious, are produced by rather poor booksellers. Most of them have only a yearly tacit permission, and the royal privileges, which assure periodicty and monopole, are eagerly fought for. Almanacs are produced at a low cost, printed in large numbers, sold cheap and rather quickly. The profit is allways interesting, because quickly gained, and can be important for the largest printings. To promote the sale, booksellers make active advertisings and take advantage of new year's gifts, especially with the bookbinding. Other sellers are involved, like "merciers", peddlers, stationers, engravers and bookbinders,who sometimes are themseves publishers. These almanacs are meant for, and sometimes read by, people of middle and upper classes. Some, like directories, diaries and handbooks, are interesting for children and useful for professionnal and practical information. The others assist and reffect spare time activities, especially games and theatre. They follow cultural fashions, and amuse with parody of popular titles. The almanac's production grows fast, its success based on following cultural actuality, including politics after 1789

Full textAt a time when women's fiction was flourishing and when the condition of woman caused increasingly acute problems, mary wollstonecraft chose to express in the novel the same message as in a vindication of the rights of woman. Works which were full of horror and pathos, mary and the wrongs of woman promoted the right to divorce and love for women. Some of ther contemporaries had the courage to follow in her steps and like her to portray a sombre picture of a woman's life. However, not all women were sympathetic towards mary wollstonecraft's views. Hating everything which she stood for, some authors like hannah more created wollstonecraftian anti-heroines who were destined to be punished by poetic justice. On the other hand, they were full of praise for the status quo, even at the expense of the dynamics of their novel. A generation later, mary shelley published frankenstein. Apparently without importance, woman is however not absent from the works of mary wollstonecraft's daughter. Perhaps mary shelley owes her success partly to this indirection. Other novelists, such as fanny burney, maria edgeworth, ann radcliffe or jane austen, managed to have their talent more or less quickly recognised. If they as well adopted the strategy of indirection, their success however was a significant step forward for the female sex

Full textThe objective of this study is to look at feminine pedagogical literature during the Age of Enlightenment in a new way. Up to now, it has been considered as childish, feminine and pedagogical literature on the whole. Moreover, it has never been the subject of a comprehensive study. Using a corpus of fictitious and reflexive texts by female authors of the second half of the 18th century, well-known or not so well-known and completed by several texts from the same period, we have found that this literature participated fully during the 18th century in questioning education theories and practices. As well, fictional texts offer a reflection about society, politics and economy and establish models for what could be desirable governments. These authors had the ambitious project of offering a new approach to the public about the ways to regenerate society through improved education on one hand and through forms of virtuous governements on the other. Finally, beyond the diversity in forms and the religious, philosophical and political convictions of the authors, we have found that there are converging pedagogical, social and political ideas among these Age of Enlightenment female writers
Cioccolo, Floriana. "Marianna Candidi Dionigi : une femme écrivain et peintre à l'âge néoclassique." Caen, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012CAEN1650.
Full textThe edition and comment of the letters Marianna Dionigi Candidi (1757-1826) and those of her daughter Enrichetta (1784-1868) shed new light on the knowledge of Roman society in the early nineteenth century. In this way, literati almost forgotten are recalled. Moreover, some of the leading characters of Italian neoclassical literature take advantage from these new data. The thesis analyzes also the two treatises published by Marianna with an historical and literary study. Precetti elementari sulla pittura de’ paesi is confirmed as a learning exercise. As for Viaggi in alcune città del Lazio, this research has focused the debate over the « Pelasgic » theory proposed by the abbot Petit-Radel that the Roman lady shared. She delivered to this treatise the essence of her identity, both on the page and in images. The conception and the publishing enterprise (edition, printing and sale) has been the main topics we investigated by comparing some passages in the text with the correspondence of the Dionigi mother and daughter. In a letter to Diodata Saluzzo-Roero another treatise, unfinished and lost, is analyzed starting from its actual title (Storia del mio tempo), its arguments and ideology. From these contacts emerges a network between Turin, Rome and Naples linking a current of Catholic loyalist who cultivated their own vision of the forthcoming Risorgimento
David, Odette. "L'écriture de soi au féminin : subversion idéologique et formelle dans l'Histoire de Madame de Montbrillant de Madame d'Épinay : thèse." Nice, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005NICE2025.
Full textThe Story of Madame de Montbrillant, by Mme d'Épinay, written in the eighteenth century, was not published in its entirety until the twentieth. Within the context of its relation to the Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, it is striking in its ideological and formal subversion, but in the absence of an examination of its literary merits, its classification has remained problematic. This thesis proposes a definitive classification of the work of Mme d'Épinay by distinguishing the truncated editions of the nineteenth century from the integral edition of 1951. In order to classify the Story of Madame de Montbrillant, we found it necessary to examine, in detail, and for the first time, the text in its entirety. The author reconstructs the society of her salon, frequented by the Philosophes des lumières, using fictitious names, in order to respect the conventions of the time, but numerous clues reveal the true identity of these characters and authenticate their actions. Consequently, this feminine writing of the self must necessarily be classified under the genre of eighteenth-century autobiography
Streb, Christoph. "Light or Fire? Publicists and the Mediatisation of Political Communication, 1760-1800." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020EHES0093.
Full textThis study deals with a transformation of political communication in the last four decades of the 18th century. It examines how French, British, and, to a lesser extend, German and American authors developed a new posture d'auteur and turned to more personal, more dramatic and more democratic practices of political writing. These publicists are studied with a double focus. A first line of inquiry examines the origins of their transgressive style and discusses its repercussions regarding political communication and political argument. A second line of inquiry analyses the extensive debate about publicists amidst a wider critical preoccupation with the opportunities and pitfalls of mediated communication. Refraining from a normative outlook on late 18th-century political writing, the story of publicists emphasises the challenges produced by a process of mediatisation and its constitutive yet always ambiguous relationship to democratic politics
Miech, Stéphanie. "L'éducation des filles chez les romancières au siècle des Lumières." Thesis, Nancy 2, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007NAN21009.
Full textThe ardent reflections of the Age of Enlightenment writers leads them to an awareness of the decline in the moral standards of their contemporary society and thence to an inquiring look at the educational system. They are particularly concerned with the education of girls, the future mothers who would be bringing up and educating the men of the new generation. On the fringe of the debate, women authors are also grappling with a problem they are especially concerned about and they realize that the novel is a tremendously effective means of expressing their criticisms, theories and ideals dashed hopes, unfulfilled dreams and grievances towards men and society whose treatment of women is so unfair. Their reflections on education, on the role and place of women in society, are vigorously supported by such philosophers and theorists as Saint François de Sales, Fénelon, Mme de Maintenon, Mme de Lambert and, later on, by Rousseau and other philosophers who find food for thought during the enriching discussions that take place in the salons the Age of Enlightenment women writers so competently hold. The heroines of their tales, short stories and novels are nurtured on the principles of the classical ideal but, little by little, to these embodiments of Christian virtues tinged with stoicism, they introduce weakness that make them more human. Throughout the century and beyond many will be renowned for their herosim and determination : they are active and energetic, fight successfully against adversity and courageously take their lives in hand. Towards the end of the century, women authors are pondering over the ethics of duty and demand a more humane moral doctrine in society. Marriage is a choice theme that enables them to expose their vision of love and serves as a framework for their criticisms of a society in which young girls are considered as objects and women as second-rate citizens without rights or belongings in adversity. However, the novelists' feminism remains ambiguous and timid. The authors are subjected to the rules of etiquette and public opinion that is imbued with Christian morality and will later be disappointed by the Revolution and its promises to their sex ; they dream of more social equality, calm relationships between man and wife and of respect for themselves. Their feminism, their defence against male misconduct, rely on feminine solidarity which is the distinctive hallmark of the fictional literature of the Age of Enlightenment
Rossi, Henri. "La comtesse de Boigne : recherches sur les mémoires féminins et aristocratiques de la Révolution à la monarchie de Juillet." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040096.
Full textAfter the Revolution of 1789, French aristocrats wrote many memoirs and diaries. Never before, there were so many autobiographic works. The women especially were attracted by this peripheric genre. The most part of them wrote their 'souvenirs'. These works are influenced by the preromantic sensibility, by the novels written in the eighteenth century, but also by the aristocratic tradition of memoirs, diaries, but also novels, women expressed the nostalgia of the time before the French Revolution, the 'Ancien Régime', this time where aristocracy had power, money and privileges. They expressed too the nostalgia of the 'salons' in which they were respected, adored. They lost that after the revolution. They tried to revive the worldliness that the nobility practised since the seventeenth century. But their attempt is a check. Aristocratic memoirs will not survive and the nobility will not find again its power, its influence. The worldliness will be in future the apanage of the romantic writers, the thinkers, Stendhal, Flaubert, Baudelaire. They will be the depositaries of the authentic worldliness

Full textThis thesis, situated at the crossroads of literature, the history of ideas and mentalities, and women's studies, analyses representations of female sexuality – expressed individually and also influenced by social and cultural factors – un women's novels from the end of the seventeenth century (starting with Aphra Behn, considered to be the first professional female writer in England) to the mid-nineteenth century (when the works of the Brontë sisters were published). At that time, the sexual destiny of women (seduction, love, marriage, rape) was the main subject of women's novels, where two keys types of representation can be distinguished : on the one hand, the affirmation of female sexuality (emphasising its signifiance and power in the lives of women and the idea of women gaining self-fulfilment through sexual passion) and, on the other, the repression of female sexuality (the denial of its importance, the presentation of love without sexuality, the moral condemnation of women who dared to express their sexuality freely and the exaltation of the chaste and reserved heroine). Rather than taking a chronological approach, this thesis advances by theme, revealing links between, and common ideas shared by, novelists who are rarely considered to be similar (e. G. Aphra Behn and Charlotte Brontë)
Zygel-Basso, Aurélie. "La mort du conte de fées ? : les conteuses des années 1730-1750 au carrefour des exthétiques." Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040099.
Full textFrom 1730 to 1750, fairy tale women writers’ role in the Republic of Letters was associated with promoting a rhetoric of the delectare. Moreover, as they developped Rococo æsthetics and neo-Epicurean galanterie, their prefaces advised the reader to give up some vraisemblance. They claimed the usefulness of pleasure and the author’s acute awareness of the reader’s expectations. Thus they contributed to emancipating the fairy literary matter but led it to its decline. Indeed, the tales were being exploited and reused in pedagogical as well as licentious texts. The intermediate spot they had conquered as an æsthetic crucible had to evolve and disappear. In this line, Mayer and Marillier (Le Cabinet des fées 1785-1789), applied to this corpus a vision that favoured morals, allegory and sentiment. Their anthology paved the way for a celebration of national antiquities and character, as well as an Heritage notion. They also participated in a neoclassical return to noble genres and a rising Troubadour æsthetic
Combot, Paolig. "Jean Conan (1765-1834) : un écrivant ou un écrivain breton ?" Rennes 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997REN20037.
Full textUp to now, it is not been possible to grasp the existence, personality, writing and creative methods of a Breton author from the past centuries. However, this is what we are aiming at for one of them, Jean Conan, relying on the writings that have been kept. The point is to know whether this goodman weaver (Le Braz) is nothing but a copyist (Dottin), a second rate 'man-who-writes', in spite of a total 29000 lines that are still with us, or whether his writings reveal literary qualities, an actual originality in inspiration and creation. As a matter of fact, Conan is part of a context: other men of humble origins wrote about their campaigns ; numerous anonymous clerks elaborated Breton tragedies. Conan continues this tradition of drama, by his language, the topics he chooses, the existence of some characters, and by the way he writes, both poetical and dramatic. Yet, Conan never behaves as a servile copyist ; his two tragedies were recomposed: he writes a Louis Eunius of his own, his version of Genevieve de Brabant is a synthesis of the french record and the scholarly Breton play ; his Bue a sant ar voan and his Jerusalem delivred will be attempts at dramatisation. As for Avanturio, they were an authentic work of fiction, he is altogether the author, narrator an hero, posing for posterity with solemnity and self satisfaction. So, conan's heritage is an original work, of various subjects but of a common style ; his akwardness may be recurrent, and the French-like vocabulary is excessive ; but his works reveal a man who feeds his writings from his own experiences and feeds himself from his heroes, more realistic than his surroundings. Conan is unique, an exception, an incongruity: a man of humble origine who writes in Breton language! May he find in each of us the dear reader he expected ; Jean Conan stands as a true creator, an authentic popular writer
Meunier-Messika, Isabelle. "Jean-Henri Maubert de Gouvest (1721-1767) et l'univers des aventuriers des lettres au siècle des Lumières." Thesis, Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018UBFCC023/document.
Full textJean-Henri Maubert de Gouvest, born in Rouen in 1721, was an Enlightenment adventurer. With his tumultuous career, he is fully in line within the polymorphous and variegated family of fortune knights studied by Suzanne Roth and Alexandre Stroev. In fact, by breaking relationships with his family, Maubert entered the Capuchin order at the age of 17 but when he quit the religious habit, he left the convent. Becoming fugitive, he could not return to his family and his peregrinations carried him all over Europe, like Ange Goudar or Casanova. Throughout his travels, our knight of fortune played the role of tutor in Poland, journalist in the United Provinces or spy for France. Different occupations evoked in André Warzée, Jeroom Vercruysse, Pierre Coquelle or Edmond Dziembowski’s works on the press and the Seven Years' War. By developing relationships with some statesmen and many other adventurers over the course of his adventures, Maubert created a real network and thus shaped enough material to write, gradually becoming an “aventurier d’écritoire”. His low income placed him in the category of "Rousseau des ruisseaux", analyzed by Robert Darnton. Living precariously, Maubert succeeded in attracting the good graces of a patron : Cobenzl, a plenipotentiary minister in Brussels with whom he maintained a correspondence. Despite the help of his benefactor, Maubert was forced to produce a literature only to survive, offering his readers an original vision of the eighteenth century filtered through his own experience. Polygraphe, he was interested in education, politics, religion and rewrote some of Voltaire’s works. Nevertheless, his literary career ended fairly quickly. Forced to leave Brussels for Amsterdam where his creditors caught up with him, he was imprisoned for nearly eighteen months during his endless trial. Leaving prison in a deplorable state of health, Maubert died in 1767, in Altona, in troubling circumstances. His literary work, unknown today, is however rich, including about thirty titles and would benefit being rediscovered by the historians. Thus, by analyzing the specificity of Maubert's network, we are interested in establishing whether and in what way, the different members of this group are representative and vectors of Enlightenment ideas. More than a rehabilitation of the literary artwork or of the author, we focus in this work on the study of the relationships and writings of a man who was both a witness and an actor of the Enlightenment
Al-Zaum, Abdulmalek. "La part de la Syrie dans la littérature de voyage dans les pays du Levant du XIXe siècle." Thesis, Tours, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011TOUR2026/document.
Full textThe a priori anti-Ottoman position, developed by philosophers such as Volney and Montesquieu, in Syria, was largely shared by travelers in the 19th century. This preconceived philosophy was reinforced and "completed" by the entire collection of works written throughout the 19th century. Traveling scientists, philosophers, consuls, journalists, and even poets were almost all involved in developing and circulating ideas and clichés regarding Syria and the idea that Turkish rule in Syria was tyrannous. Travelers, as well as their writings, directly or indirectly perpetuated the vision of "Oriental tyranny." This vision, developed by predecessors, was first communicated in writing by Volney. In 1783, he had barely just arrived in Syria, when he began denouncing the misery he encountered, forwhich he held Turkish officials immediately responsible. Other travelers almost all supported the idea of "Oriental Tyranny" and agreed with the author of Voyage en Egypte et en Syrie in their writings.Generally speaking, Syria makes travelers think of their forefathers and reminds them of the past (in both a historic and religious context) that is in reality not that distant from the present. Moreover, those in search of getting back to the basics and the exotic; traveling writers, tourists, and scientists, took a particular interest in the exotic, mythic or picturesque Syria

Full textThis study is devoted to the travel journal of the german-speaking swiss, Johann Georg Fisch, briefe uber die sudlichen provinzen von frankreich, published in 1790, following a stay in the languedoc and in provence which lasted from 1786 to 1788, on the eve of the french revolution. The study attempts to fill a gap - since this work, which has never been translated into french, has not been the subject of any specific detailed research - and to show that fisch is very much within the tradition of foreign travellers, bringing to france all the preconceived ideas of a swiss preacher and man of the enlightenment. While preferring swiss freedom to french despotism, he nevertheless does sometimes come under the charm of the country and its inhabitants, and although he indulges in fierce criticism of the institutions and excessive displays of catholic piety and certain customs, he depicts with interest, and great attention to detail, the countryside, the people, farm work and the factories. His originality lies m the way he presents the cevennes, which at that time had been little explored by foreigners, in his description of the industrial enclaves and in the ideal portrait which he paints of protestants as zealous and industrious at all levels of society. Some obscure parts of the journal seem to point to the fact that Fisch's travels were perhaps financed by a swiss economic society and that the work might be a report on the state of france. The author does, however, introduce some personal touches: whereas the section on provence corresponds to the obligatory itineraries of the travellers, his vision of the Languedoc, still very much under the influence of baroque or classicism, manages to break free from this yoke, when fisch, unable to refer to the accounts of previous travellers, gives way to almost pre-romantic sentiment, musing on the passage of time while amongst the ruins or, from a mountain top in the cevennes, pondering the mystery of infinite spaces
Parscau, Charlotte de. "Rose de Staal de Launay : étude biographique et littéraire." Paris 4, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA040006.
Full textThe work of Mme de Staal, beside her memoires, is very bad known. A unique thesis, written by Lea Gilon, deals with her theatre. The memoires with the correspondence are a precious source of knowledge about life at the court of Sceaux under the duchesse du Maine and about the career of Rose de Staal. This woman's destiny has been exceptional: she gained the esteem of important personalities of her time, by being spiritual. A reading of her work by subject is very enlightening. Portraits (many of them compose the narrative of the memoires and letters to Mme du Deffand) are painted by a fine watch and a moralist spirit. Mme de Staal dislikes stupidity and despotism, according to her the best wealth is the spirit. Love is a central topic in the memoires and the letters to the chevalier de Menil and M. De Silly. The most cruel disappointment of Rose has been caused by Menil who dared traitor her after their love in la bastille. In spite of her bright success at the end of her life, Mme de Staal had to deal with loneliness. She only kept one passion until the end : liberty
Coüasnon, Marguerite de. "La femme de lettres face à Rousseau : mises en scène de soi dans la fiction (1791-1825)." Rennes 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010REN20023.
Full textThe objective of this study is to look at the missions which two women writers, Isabelle de Charrière and Mrs de Genlis, attach to their authors' statuses. Up to now, the research mainly analyzed the women’s representations in the male mind rather than in women’s ones. Here, the authoress compare with Jean-Jacques Rousseau in order to supplant him. After French Revolution, men’s demands towards women increased. Both Genlis and Charrière depict their heroines against characters nourished with Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s doctrines. These characters are also educators, and cannot practice their skills, due to Rousseau’s influence in society. Beyond the diversity of their opinions, and well before the women’s movement, these women of letters represent and legitimize their refusal to correspond to the prototype of the romantic woman promoted by Rousseau. They advocate the mother love of their characters, which confers them superiority as women, and authoresses, on the rest of manhood. They also intend to immortalize their experiences in deployment of pedagogy, including writing as an essential function. These affirmations imply that women writers could present themselves as guides for their time, such as Philosophers and of the 18th century’s writers

Full textLouise d’Epinay’s contributions to Grimm and Meister's Correspondance littéraire (1755-1783) and her correspondence with Ferdinando Galiani (1769-1783) constitute two complementary corpora which allow us to understand this author's practices of sociability and to reveal their interaction with her writing. Her society writings, her critical works, her fictional dialogues and her letters contribute to the co-opting of a social elite, via its circulation in the margins of good society and its extension of court society's mechanisms of distinction. The analysis of self-representations and group-representations allows us to better understand the structures and social mises en scène throughout the texts. In conjunction with the analysis of the social imaginary, this analysis explains the restricted, anonymous and clandestine circulation of Louise d'Épinay's texts in the Correspondance littéraire and among members of her Parisian circle, whose contours and dynamics may be observed via her exchange of letters with Galiani. This study of little known texts is based on a sociological approach. It proposes a change of perspective from current critical works, favoring the study of relationships and social representations over ideolory. As well as proposing a renewal of Louise d'Épinay's studies, this theoretical grounding enables a new approach to the writings of women whom historiography has closely associated with Enlightenment salons and the men of letters they frequented
Dupouy, Justine. "Une épistolière au dix-huitième siècle : les lettres de Lady Mary Wortley Montagu." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019AIXM0248.
Full textThis dissertation focuses on Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s Turkish Embassy Letters written during her travels to the Ottoman Empire from August 1716 to October 1718 and published for the first time in 1763, one year after she died. These fifty-two letters delivered at the crossroads between diary, letter-writing and travel writing, aim at developing a proto-feminist agenda questioning women’s condition in eighteenth-century Europe. The representation of the Ottoman Empire and its culture enables the author to write about Europe and about herself. The travel narrative sheds light on Lady Mary’s identity as she was motivated by an endless desire for progress. It gave her access to authorship in the eighteenth-century and is the reason why she is nowadays considered as the first English traveller in the East

Full textThe favourable reception in Spain of works by Madame de Genlis, Madame de Beaumont, Madame d’Épinay and Madame de Lambert constitutes an important chapter in the literary fortune that these authors came to achieve outside of France and particularly, in Spain during the period of Enlightenment. The pedagogical obsession of the Spanish Enlightenment scholars, women’s interest in reading and the development of publishing provoked a veritable avalanche of texts aimed at the education and schooling of women throughout the XVIII century, especially in the middle of the century at a time when a strong interest in translating foreign literary works was surfacing. Concurrent with this pedagogical interest taking place during the Enlightenment, the subject of education had become a beacon in the editorial production of the time. Consequently, the educational debates which had been taking place in France also began to become the subjects in Spanish educational circles a result of the various translations of French literary works. The pedagogic lens in the literary production of Marie Leprince de Beaumont, Stéphanie Félicité de Genlis, Louise d’Épinay and Madame de Lambert seduced a large number of Spanish Enlightenment intellectuals. The sensitivity of these French pedagogues on moral and religious matters translated perfectly to Spanish literary creations; it was a literature which respected traditional spiritual values at the same time as remaining open to the new concept of “sensitive virtue” This resurgence in female influence would go on to became apparent in the translations of French pedagogic literary works as a good number of these writings passed through the hands of women. Ana Muñoz, María Jacoba Castilla, María Romero Masegosa, Antonia de Río y Arnedo, Cayetana de la Cerda and so many others alternated between being translators and Spanish writers who gave a feminine perspective to the movement to emancipate and educate Spanish women. Notably, these women were responsible for the first Spanish versions of works by Madame de Lambert, Madame d’Épinay and Madame de Genlis. This research will analyse the transformation of these French pedagogical works: their first translations in Spain and how they influenced Spanish pedagogical literature, especially when produced by women. In doing so it will outline a number of specific traits which characterise hispanic female literary production

Full textThe kingdom of New Spain in the 16th century was a space of projection of European cultural ideas and techniques through the circulation of printed books and engravings. Nevertheless, the emigrants to the New World, along with a part of the native population, were able to go beyond the mere passive reception of these cultural means. In only one generation, such metropolis like Mexico and Puebla de los Angeles were able to consolidate a proper cultural background that from its specificity were in condition to adapt to the great intellectual and cultural currents to produce a particular view of the world that could also be understood by other regions that participated in this same process in Europe, America and Asia. This dissertation pretends to show how this kingdom transformed from a conquered land to a cultural centre of the written word, who were its main characters and how they defined themselves in relation to the Spanish Monarchy. Through this analysis we can verify to what point what happened in New Spain had the same rhythms as other central territories deeply related in an already globalized world
Ahn, Sung-Eun. "Jean-François Millet et les écrivains de son siècle." Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040268.
Full textJean-Francois Millet (1814-1875) was born in the era of Romanticism and died at the beginning of Impressionism. In the nineteenth-century, due to the great exhibitions, the Salons, and the Exposition Universelle as well as the increasing demand of the press, many writers became art critics : for example, Gautier, Baudelaire, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Huysmans, and still many more forgotten in our day. The change in appreciation of Millet’s artwork can be attested through the documents gathered in this research. This documentation makes it possible to appreciate and to allocate an appropriate place to this painter and his works, as well as to follow contemporary aesthetic evaluations on his works. This research covers the beginning of Millet’s career as a painter in the 1840s, up to his posthumous success, the Retrospective Exhibition at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1887 and The Angelus sale in 1889

Full textThe current doctoral thesis is focused on the use of portraits of authors in Spain as a strategy to seek for recognition, between 1648 and 1778. The complexity of the recovery of the sense of the author is treated taking into account the way the literary field functions and the existing mechanisms in the literature institutionalization. The investigation is based on a methodologic development proposal that enters into the market networks sociology field. The study is developed within an international co-tutorship framework in place between the University of Córdoba and the University of Bordeaux Montaigne. Prof. Pedro Ruiz Pérez (PHEBO-SILEM) and Prof. Jean-Marc Buiguès (AMERIBER) are the co-advisors. The thesis maintains a strong interdisciplinary character as it combines Literature, Fine Arts and Digital Humanities fields. The link that is originated during the Spanish literature Golden Age “Siglo De Oro” between Art and literature, together with the Research and Development, is considered as an unbreakable pair along the research, considering the appearance of new sociability plots in the literary environment. The core of the investigation is therefore concentrated in two fundamental aspects. On one hand, the constitution of a catalog of author portraits that originates from Quevedo’s Parnaso and that is finalized with Lopez de Sedano’s portraits Parnaso. On the other, different case studies in which the authors we take as a reference contribute to the establishment of a canon as an authorial positioning strategy using artistic representation. A comparison is made between these central axes of the study and on one side the earlier portraits that take as a starting point the Book of portraits of Pacheco (1599-1644), and on the other, with subsequent portraits, which culminate in the gallery of portraits of author of 1780
La tesis doctoral que presentamos se centra en la utilización del retrato de escritores como estrategia de reconocimiento autorial en España, en el período comprendido entre los años 1648 a 1778. La complejidad que supone la recuperación del concepto de la noción de autor se proyecta desde el funcionamiento del campo literario y los mecanismos establecidos en la institucionalización de la literatura. Proyectamos esta investigación mediante una propuesta de desarrollo metodológico adentrándonos en el terreno de la sociología de las redes de mercado. El estudio se inscribe en el marco de cotutela internacional entre la Universidad de Córdoba y l´Université Bordeaux Montaigne, siendo los codirectores de la misma el Prof. Pedro Ruiz Pérez (PHEBO-SILEM) y el Prof. Jean-Marc Buiguès (AMERIBER). La tesis mantiene un marcado carácter interdisciplinar al aunar las metodologías de la Literatura, las Bellas Artes y Humanidades digitales. La investigación se establece en un entorno muy determinado que considera inquebrantable el vínculo que se origina en el Siglo de Oro entre el arte y las letras, unido a los desarrollos tecnológicos, dentro de la creación de las nuevas tramas de sociabilidad en el entorno literario. Se inscribe de esta forma en torno a un núcleo de trabajo en el que se abren dos vertientes fundamentales. Por una parte, en la constitución de un repertorio de retratos autoriales que tiene como origen el Parnaso de Quevedo y como cierre el Parnaso de los retratos de López de Sedano. Y por otra, en diferentes estudios de caso en los que los autores que tomamos de referencia se mueven en torno a la conformación del canon como estrategia de posicionamiento autorial desde la representación artísticas. Contrastamos estos ejes centrales de estudio con aquellos retratos anteriores a la fecha que toman como punto de partida El Libro de retratos de Pacheco (1599-1644), y por otro, con los retratos posteriores, que culminan en la galería de retratos de autor de 1780

Viala) supposing that he does not discern his own behaviour rules and features, we study how his feature is built in the wordind ("enonce) by others and by himself, how it is produced by textual procedure as well as by gestures and behaviours (the poem salut by Mallarmé as well as the banquet when he gives reading of it constitute the two sides of the same wording). We first studied the Poètes d'aujourd'hui collection and the special issues of the NRF devoted to great individualities. Those narratives structures geatly depend on novelistic patterns and ideological patterns such as the relationship between the author and his works (see Sainte-Beuve).

Full textWe have tried to identify and to analyze precisely the notion of "writer", as it is created in the roman texts, and as it represents itself, before to get formalized and theorized. The object of our study is a "long" XIIIth century, because the greatest part of the literature at this time is just a big laboratory, where the notion of "writer" becomes more and more precise and efficient. We have found that the problems which are linked to the concept of writer are in a strong relation with the problems of the development of novel as a literary type. As soon as a text is mostly a mirror of its own creation, so that the image of the writer appears in it as a personification of the abstract notion of writing, this text uses the narrative schema for expressing its preoccupations. In almost every kind of poetry of allegorical dreams and visions, of polemic or historical texts, there is a part of narrative: it may be discreet, and difficult to perceive, or on the contrary it may be nearly universal, so that the reader sees nothing but it. However, the greatest development of the figures of "writer" takes place in the novels, and peculiarly in the big prose novels

Full textThe nineteenth century is the golden age of hydrotherapy in France. Everybody comes to take the waters. Men and women of letters, Chateaubriand, Lamartine, Michelet, Balzac, Hugo, Sand, the Goncourt brothers, Mirabeau, Maupassant take part in this thermal cure phenomenon and attend water cities. Sand takes the opportunity to make excursions, Dumas runs away from rampant cholera over Paris, Balzac is involved in a courtship with the Marchioness of Castries, Zola accompanies his wife who is a patient, Mallarmé joins his mistress… But most of writers go to thermal cures for health purposes. In this way Bashkirtseff seeks to eradicate tuberculosis, Daudet, Maupassant and Lorrain treat their syphilis, Chateaubriand his rheumatism, Verlaine his leg ulcers, Proust his asthma. All these writers patients shared about their experience, in their correspondence or in their novels, poems, travel stories. Their characters live in these water cities as well ; Christiane Andermatt gets to the springs of Mont Oriol’s exploitation, the cure mostly is the opportunity for her to meet her lover and to have a baby, without waters playing a specific role ; Verdinet, Galinois and other protagonists of Labiche’s comedy, I compromised my wife, are in Bagnères-de-Bigorre, and Mirabeau’s neurasthenic, in Luchon. This is a walk in the world of waters, as seen by writers, between 1800 and 1914

Full textDuring the XIXth century and in close connection with the Nahda movement, the idea of an arabness free from all kind of sectarianism, beyond the ottoman and islamic domination, is taking shape in the middle east and especially in Lebanon. Authors born of Lebanese christian environments have made a major contribution to that evolution of minds, restating the question of "belonging" and appealing to re consider the Arabic cultural patrimony. Four important personalities of this innovating have been envisaged here: nasif al-Yaziji, Butrus Al-Bustani, Farah Antun and mostly Ahmed Faris Sidyaq (1805-1887) whose examplarity has to be emphasized, for his biography as well as for his work and his ideas and plans. His views on a new equilibrium of oriental society (culture, work, participation of woman in productive activity, socio-economical reform); his new vision of family structures (secularization of marriage, end of marital domination, revalorization of women's condition, interest in chidren's education); his critical approach to religious institutions, christian as well as muslim, his audacious positions on arabic nationalism, his contribution to the linguistic and philological renovation (questioning of ancient lexicographers, rehabilitation of the arabic language, stylistical and poetical reform) make him an undisputed pioneer in the political recognition of an arabic community.

Full textAround 1830, the publishing sector experiences numerous shifts : with the printing system submitting itself to new mass producing principles, the status of the book itself is at stake. From this moment on, we witness the beginnings of a new form of bibliophilism, which builds itself by turning its back on the contemporary publishing standards. Some writers, amongst whom Charles Nodier, Paul Lacroix, the Goncourt brothers, Gérad de Nerval, or Octave Uzanne, are dedicated to collecting rare or valuable books, and find in this passion an inspiration for their own work. This study aims at showing the strength of the links between bibliophilism and writing during all of the XIXtch century. At the intersection of several disciplines such as book history, stylistic analysis, or history of literature, bibliophilism appears as a strongly poetical object and as a complex compilation of themes and topics about books. At the same time, bibliophilism ca be defined as a singular socio-cultural habit, that allows us to perceive all the tensions arisen by the development of modern and industrial ways of producing and selling books

Full textHonoré-Gabriel de Riquetti, count of Mirabeau, nobleman from Provence, went down in history as an eminent orator and a major protagonist of the French Révolution in its first stage. As a resuit, most studies on Mirabeau have been written by historians focusing on the political activist and thinker, while his private life was being scrutinized by biographers, starting as early as the end of the 18th century. In our research, we put forward a différent approach. Mirabeau's figure cannot be fully apprehended if confined to the two years of his political prominence in the revolutionary assemblies. It is necessary to examine his rich, prolific, life-long career as a 'man of letters' belonging to the last génération of the Enlightenment. Mirabeau's many works are diverse in nature. They include erotic novels, essays, pamphlets, translations of ancient as well as modem authors, letters, and of course, political discourses ; in addition to those published works, manuscripts or fragments of manuscripts can be found in several archives, most notably in Aix-en-Provence and in the archives of the French Foreign Office. The présent dissertation covers the whole of Mirabeau's published and unpublished works. Against the prevailing notion of an undisciplined thinker, we aim at demonstrating the cohérence of Mirabeau's vision by making apparent the logical ties between his «philosophy» (as applied to history, langage or the arts), his théories on éducation, and his political analyses. Our approach, we hope, will shed a new light on the historical figure of the revolutionnary Mirabeau ; it can also help understand the reasons for Mirabeau's deep and lasting influence

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the role of women in the seventeenth century through French literature and to analyse their involvement in social, political and artistic matters, as well as their reactions, however limited they may have been. The first part deals with their outward appearance or more precisely with the woman's body. Then their legal status and their status as married women or working women are put under scruting. The third part considers the role women played throughout the two french regencies and the fronde. The fourth part examines how they fought to have access to culture, through education and art. The last two parts are more particularly concerned with the literary aspect of the subject, dealing with female writers and the feminist quarrel among the seventeenth writers. Feminism had developed in a society dominated by men, so that it had to be "tolerated" by them. This supremacy eventually led to the confrontation of opposing forces whose clash brought about the disintegration of the culture of the seventeenth century. This was how a more complete social reality could be grasped and the figure of the female being could enverge from it

Full textThe purpose of this PhD Dissertation is first to make an inventory and establish a typology of the travel narratives published in Spain between 1818 and 1936 by Spanish writers having travelled in the whole or part of the Iberian peninsula (the Canary islands, the Baleares and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla). Secondly, I will try to determine the characteristics which make the travel narrative a literary genre and examine from a diachronic point of view the circumstances which presided over the evolution of this genre from its first appearance until today, as well as the nature of this evolution. Thirdly, as studying an example of each existing type of travel narrative unfortunately proves to be impossible, I will limit my study to an analysis of the characteristics of the three forms under which the Spanish travel narrative presents itself most frequently between 1818 and 1936, relying on a restricted corpus : journalistic anthologies (with Por tierras de Portugal y de España, by Unamuno), narratives made up of a sequence of tableaux (with Dos pueblos de Castilla, by Solana, and Alma vasca, by Salaverría), narratives characterised by their continuity (with El peregrino entretenido, by Bayo, and La ruta de don Quijote, by Azorín)

Full textThis thesis is dedicated to study the work and the ideological convictions of Niccolo Tommaseo (1802-1874). The first part will focus on the philosophical and aesthetical thought, and the political idea of this romantic writer. The research also has for objective to examine his attempt to reform the model of the historical novel, and his progressive evolution towards the psychological genre, while remaining linked to the concept of the truth, and the principle of the popularity of the literature. Finally, are studied his conception of the language of the literary creation, as well as the specificities of the style, and the links between the contents and the form of this work. The second part of the research concerns the exile of Tommaseo in France. The examination of the intimate diary notably reveals his moral suffering and his homesickness of Italy, until he discovers Corsica, where he composes his autobiogaraphical and psychological novel Fede e bellezza. The island occupies a privileged place in his works. The research aims at defining his idea of Corsica, not only to discover his perception of the language, the culture and the history of the island, but also to understand his novel. In the third part, are examined the structure, the style, the language and the subjects of Fede e bellezza. The research attempts essentially to put in evidence the influence of the stay of Tommaseo, in France, both on the form and content of his psychological novel, autobiographical inspiration. This study reveals an important contrast between the image of Corsica and that of Paris. In Fede e bellezza, which appears as the novel of an exile, the island, contrary to the french capital, represents an ideal, and it becomes for thr writer, an excuse to express his feelings, but also his idological convictions and his aspirations for Italy

Full textIn this doctoral thesis, we examine the evolution of women’s writing in the XIXth and XXth centuries in Sicily. We based on a corpus of 24 novels by seven women writers : Cecilia Stazzone, Rosina Muzio Salvo, Elvira Mancuso, Angelina Damiani Lanza, Adelaide Bernardini Capuana, Maria Messina and Goliarda Sapienza. In the first part, applying sociological Criticism and using unpublished and rare texts, we show how this production can be understood through the development of textual history and history of reception. There have been some omissions and also rediscoveries, especially thanks to Leonardo Sciascia’s editorial activity for Mancuso’s and Messina’s works, to the Rosminian philosopher Giuseppe Pellegrino for Lanza’s works and to the great success of Sapienza’s French translations. In the second part, we analyze the different forms how these women writers represented the female condition in each phase : during the Romantic age, they followed their contemporary writers’ models, while during the Decadent movement they invented a structure and a personal style so as to erode the linguistic and formal canons. In the contemporary period, they created their own patterns. The women writers of the twentieth century contributed to the development of the female novel, especially Sapienza, who elaborated a personal pattern for female expression in several genres : autobiography, epic and psychological inquiry

Full textAssuming that art and literature reflects their time, we will point out the evolution of art and interior decoration by a comparative study of literature and interior decoration styles'. Authors such as Chateaubriand for the early XIXth century and the Goncourt for the second half will provide significant examples to analyze the evolution of art and decoration and their relevance with the authors' style. We shall define the Empire style of Chateaubriand based on neoclassicism, beauty, harmony and balance, revealing both in prose and decoration a architectured style, defined by the line and idealisation. Participating to the Napoleonian propaganda, arts and decoration emphasize the didactic purpose of prose, expressing the classical doctrine of docere, movere, placere. Prose of war, painting and decoration can lead to meditation, catharsis and figurative or literary vanities. Yet, beyond the classical constraints, writing, painting and decoration reveal a sensibility forecasting romanticism. Drawing gave way to colour, foreshadowing a break in decoration, witnessed in the Goncourt prose. Decadence in prose and eclecticism in decoration epitomized the second half of the century. The richness of prose echoes a decoration subjected to the horror vaccui. The deconstructed décor parallels not only the decadence of a fragmented sentence but also the decay of the sick body. The fragmented syntax in this precious writing style mirrors the impressionist dispersion misunderstood by the Goncourt. The scattered touch corresponds, in decoration, to the anthropomorphic and feminine substitute bibelot and, in literature, to the word which becomes a word bibelot, work of art

Firstly, Diderot's artistic formation is presented, with an exhaustive repertoire of readings made by this noted « Salon » art critic and emphasizes the major role of the Encyclopaedia in the shaping of his artistic opinions and judgments. The following sequence examines in depth Diderot's nine « Salons » as well as his two « essays on painting ». At the outset, Diderot's status (position) is perceived in relationship with the artistic way of thinking (reasoning) of his time. The thesis then emphasizes the originality of the Salons, both on a thematic and theoretical level as well as on the formal level. The last section is an analysis of the influence of Diderot's pictorial judgements on his novels and plays (Romanesque and dramatic works)

It comes tp show how the state shaped the literaruy status and, on the other hand, how the writers used to work out and laintain the political symbols. This reflexion comes within the scope of the dynamics of history and takes into account the different power struggles, the events, and the circumstances of the time. However, it does not imply a general outlook of the cultural background, which would be both a static and quantitative approach. The literary act is considered here as a determining collaboration on the political and cultural system, and not as the result of dim internal vibrations. The first volume of the thesis focuses on the background the writings spring from and establishes the sociology of the career profiles of the writers. The second one is mainly devoted to their vocations and motivations. Their works are studied more closely and, for greater convenience, a distinction is made between what falls within the province of the prince and what falls writhin that of faith. Finally, in the third volume, tha area of investigations is widened so as to put into light the different patterns in which the writers evolved, as well as the trends ans influences they were under

Full textBorn in Dijon, Virginie Ancelot (1792-1875) was a woman in letters. Her temperament left its mark on her contemporaries, as well as the activities of her salon and her theatrical or novelistic works. Indeed, for forty years, rising above the political upheavals of her time, she received and came close to the elite : of the literary circles (Chateaubriand, Vigny, Hugo, Balzac, Stendhal. . . ), of the artistic world at large (Delacroix, Gerard. . . ). Between classicism and romanticism, her salon reached its climax under the Monarchie de Juillet. It became a center of influences where the games of patronage helped promote the career of her husband, Jacques Ancelot, as well as that of her close friends, until the supreme achievement of the Académie Française. In cooperation with her husband, she managed the theatre du vaudeville. Throughout this period, her renown gradually spread through the theater world. She wrote extensively, both for the Comédie-Française and for secondary stages. She became the “spoiled child of fortune”. Her oeuvres showed cunning and efficiency. Her style also lay within a strategy that aimed at promoting an original image of women, reflecting the conformity of a century that was often crual towards them end their deepest aspiration for modernity. A kind of “echo sonore” of her century, Virginie Ancelot embodied its traumatisms, doubts and a passionate quest for the absolute

Full textAlthough the historical work of Voltaire takes part in a redefinition of Enlightenment historiography, the art of the historian or his conception of history have been little studied so far. His political view in his historical work has often been reduced to his praise of ‘great men’ and of their action in history. Our study puts this interpretation to the test and highlights the complexity of Voltaire’s reading of history, either in his works dealing with a single reign, or in his universal history, the Essay on the Manners. In order to face the shortcomings of the contemporary political systems, Voltaire uses history writing as a way to express considered conceptions of power and political issues. Voltaire does not expound a systematic theory of political facts; nonetheless, his understanding of historical progress relies on a coherent set of principles. Our study examines his appreciation of power and politics, of theirs foundations – where issues of legitimizing, so important in history writing, are at stake –, and of their achievements. The historical work does not exclusively focus on the action of a few monarchs; it takes also into account the collective action of peoples, and turns its attention to transformations which affect the balance of power and contemporary policies. Then, the work is in touch with current affairs and burning issues, which gives to history writing specific characteristics, and in particular a polemical tone. But it leads also to question the limits of his historical work as well as its definition
