Dans ma thèse “León de Greiff y la tradición literaria” je fais une étude du concept de « Tradition » dans l’œuvre poétique de l’un des plus importants écrivains colombiens du XXème siècle. Je propose que l’appropriation greiffienne de différents éléments provenant de diverses sources littéraires – comprenant la littérature orientale, la poésie médiévale européenne, la poésie française symboliste –, défie la notion classique du concept de «tradition». Pour De Greiff, celle-ci constitue un espace individuel d’autocréation construit à partir d’affinités esthétiques et philosophiques, et non sur

Abstract:
Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway met in Key West in 1937, married in 1941, and divorced in 1945. Gellhorn's work exhibits a strong influence from Hemingway's work, including collaboration on her work during their marriage. I will discuss three of her six novels: WMP (1934), Liana (1944), and Point of No Return (1948). The areas of influence that I will rely on in many ways follow the stages Harold Bloom outlines in Anxiety of Influence. Gellhorn's work exposes a stage of influence that Bloom does not describe-which I term collaborative. By looking at Hemingway's influence in Gellhorn's wri

Abstract:
This study traces the cultural interplay between Irish and Old English literary landscapes. Combining an ecocritical approach to reading representations of the landscape with a comparatist perspective, each chapter shows that the landscape and the natural world were not only static motifs, but that they allow for the observation of literary influence. The first chapter investigates the political use of the landscape in Irish and Anglo-Saxon saints’ Lives. I argue that the anonymous author of the Life of Cuthbert was following a common Irish hagiographic practice of using place-names to claim c

This dissertation examines George MacDonald's preoccupation with his literary predecessor Percy Shelley.

I read MacDonald through the figure of Shelley, with whom MacDonald seems to have personally identified, but to whose atheism MacDonald, a devout believer, objected.

Redefining an existing enquiry in a specific way, my research seeks to enhance an understanding of the construction of a therapeutic modality that revitalizes the ancient belief in the healing powers of music, manifest since antiquity through the cla

This dissertation examines Shakespeare’s role as the most significant precursor to the Gothic author in Britain, suggesting that Shakespeare used the same literary conventions that Gothic writers embraced as they struggled to create a new subgenre of the novel. By borrowing from Shakespeare’s canon, these novelists aimed to persuade readers and critics that rather than undermining the novel’s emergent, still unassured status as an acceptable literary genre, the nontraditional aspects of their works paid homage to Shakespeare’s imaginative vision.

Abstract:
El presente estudio se ocupa de la recepción de Cervantes y Calderón de la Barca por parte del autor romántico E.T.A. Hoffmann, e inserta dicho proceso receptivo en un contexto epocal más amplio. Por un lado, el romanticismo temprano ha intentado revisar la tradición y explicar así cómo ha evolucionado esta desde la edad de oro de la antigüedad clásica hasta el presente, y cómo se alcanzará una futura edad dorada en la que el lenguaje especulativo y el poético se fundan en uno solo. Por otro, los integrantes de ese movimiento consideran al lector como parte fundamental del proceso de creación
