Abstract:
The paper deals with the origins of modern English vocabulary and shows the relevance of the influence of French on its modern state. The article makes a survey of scientific literature studying French heritage in English lexis. An overview of linguistic and historical data is provided to show the framework within which linguistic borrowing from French was made possible. A number of loanwords are mentioned that appeared under different historical circumstances. The article analyses borrowed words that kept their meaning they had in French, as well as those ones which experienced semantic trans

Abstract: This introduction to the special issue "Connecting Characters in Modern and Contemporary French-language Fiction" offers a critical context for studying character networks and interdependency. Through the lens of Glissant's concept of "Relation" and in dialogue with Jagoda's notion of "network aesthetics," the issue examines what connects characters in fictional works, how these links shape narrative meaning within and across texts, and how character interdependency reflects diverse social, political, and historical contexts.

Abstract:
Set in the historical context of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, Jeanette Winterson's The Passion is an outstanding example of the kind of fiction that Elizabeth Wesseling (1991: vii) calls postmodernist historical novels, that is, "novelistic adaptations of historical material". Besides, being profoundly self-reflexive, the novel also falls under Linda Hutcheon's (1988) category of historiographic metafiction. The present paper focuses on Winterson's political choice of two representatives of historically silenced groups, a soldier and a woman, who use two apparently opposed na

Dinah Silveira de Queiroz (1911-1982), in a literary career spanning more than 40 years, wrote novels, short stories, theater, science fiction and children's literature. One of the literary genres that brought her the most notoriety, however, was historical fiction. An example of this is The women of Brazil (1954), which has as background the Emboabas War. Another example is Os invasores (1965), a plot based on the events surrounding the French invasion of Rio de Janeiro in 1710.

In the years leading up to the centenary of the last invasion of the British mainland, several historical novels in Welsh and English chronicled the events of the French landing near Fishguard in 1797. These fictional explorations throw Welsh national identity into relief at a time when Britain consolidated its domestic and overseas territories against its main rival, France. While ostensibly set in the historical past, the novels under observation share significant traits with the popular genre of the invasion novel that came to the fore in the second half of the nineteenth century as the Bri
