Ayache, Lydie. "L'image de la femme dans le roman anglais, 1836-1876." Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA040278.
Full textThe novel, a literary genre which was created in England in the 18th century, developed immensely and became very popular in the 19th century. The great authors were no longer the privilege of the elite, but were read by an increasing number of readers in such a constant way that they were used to improve the morals of the population. A new literary ideal was invented, and it inspired a series of remarkable novels. My work deals with this new feminine ideal, and follows its evolution in the 19th century literary production, through the novels of William M. Thackeray, Charles Dickens, Charlotte, Emily, Anne Brontë and George Eliot. My aim is to show that, thanks to the Victorian ideal, these great authors found new literary devices which revealed a deeper and more authentic image of woman

Full textThis thesis consists in a comparative study : its purpose is to present results and show how the epistolary novel developed at the beginning of the XIXth century in three European countries : France, Germany and England. In the course of her study, the author of this survey endeavored to raise a certain number of questions and bring out answers to these questions. In the first part, after a short historical outline, she made an inventory and examined the alleged disappearance of that type of novel. In the second pat, she wondered under which forms the epistolary novel had survived and whether a new definition of the genre was made necessary. At the same time, she laid stress on the limits, paradoxes and narrative options at stake. Finally, in the third part, the author's aim was to analyze the continuity of the genre as well as to study why it is so modern. Thus, she delineated the themes tackled in the epistolary novels; she studied now these themes adjusted to the new forms of the novel, such as the historical novel and the private diary. She also defined the part they played in the emergence of new modes of writing such as the monologue. The epistolary novel is a genre which has kept changing and moving. It evolved thanks to its multifarious Romanesque forms. The XIXth century novelists succeeded in the epistolary novel. It is much later, at the beginning of the century that this mode of writing would be operated by writers, as a literary technique in itself. Even if it is impossible to ignore the fact that the epistolary novel wasn't equally successful in France and England in the one hand, and in Germany on the other hand, it can't be denied that it lived through the whole romantic period and that this very ability to resist enabled the genre to live to this day
Despeyroux, Dubrana Marie-Christine. "Erica Jong : Fanny et le roman anglais au XVIIIème siècle." Paris 4, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA040175.
Full textFanny is a major work from the American novelist Erica Jong who wished to write a mock eighteenth-century novel. Very well informed about the period, mastering the technique of authors like Defoe, Fielding or Cleland, she tries to seize the mind of the period. If she relates the life, manners, ideas, and morality of the 18th century, Erica Jong describes an heroine, Fanny, who, if she evokes Tom Jones, Fanny Hill, Moll Flanders or Roxana, is very similar to Isadora, her favorite heroine, her alter ego. She naturally transcends the imitation process concerning the style, the evolution of the heroine, giving her character a rich, complex and modern personality. More advanced than the heroines of the past, intellectual, sensual, feminist, feminine, nonconformist, fanny benefits, apart from her various encounters and numerous and perilous adventures, from the whole power, the psychological experience and the concerns of the woman writer Erica Jong. Rebelling against taboos, prejudices and inequalities, Fanny wishes to pass on, with the true account of her life, to her daughter Belinda, born of incest, the sense of personal ethics based upon a taste for culture and freedom to acquire mastery over her fate and blooming in her life as a woman, a mother, an artist. Aiming to describe the characteristics of feminine nature in a female picaresque, marked with humor, irony, seriousness, eroticism and personal satire, Erica Jong, looking for osmosis between art and life, describes the complexity of the origins and influences of modern woman's fate who is marked by the duality head and body. Investing herself in fanny, she personally authenticates the. .

Full textThis work examines the use of civil wars in English and French novels between 1580 and 1668 that is to say during the Baroque period. At this time, France and England were going through a revolutionary political, religious but also social crisis. Our framework is based on genre studies, contemporary theories of fiction and historicity. We aimed at shedding a new light on novel's poetics and analysing the articulation of fact and fiction through the study of a corpus of thirty little-known novels. The comparison between the French novels and the English ones implies to identify what defines the genre of early modern novel and its boundaries for both countries, and determine the genealogy of the narrative models used by the authors. We then establish the poetics of war through the analyses of the narrative functions of war sequences, the way characters are build up and the stylistics of violence (staged or faded). Finally, we suggest an interpretation of the novels. From the remembrance of wars of religion to the record of the English Revolution, Baroque novels constitute a specific form of historical fiction, characterized by the displacement of collective stakes and the metaphorisation of the religious division to the level of the couple or the family but also the recycling of the allegorical writing style. The Baroque novel is dedicated to love as opposed to the epic genre, it offers various and complex representations of civil war, this internai conflict questioning one's identity, faith and sense of belonging, three key concepts of the early modern novel

Full textThe first part of our research paper deals with the continuity of gothic myth and genre in the 19th century. After an attempt to prove the merits of such a notion as "myth" applied to the gothic revival aesthetic movement, we point out how the tradition was transferred from generation to generation, without a gap throughout the century. Then, after having sketched the gothic novel typology, we inquire about the way this genre was received from 1820 onwards, through a study of both parodies and catalogue of new editions and reissues of the original works. The examination of novel titles discloses the literary relationship between the first gothic novelists and their followers. An analysis of chosen works as part of such a continuous stream is then proposed. The second part of our work is devoted to the study of the french fin-de-siècle period and british eighteen nineties. We develop symmetrically the study of both myth and genre. After a review of the conditions in which each was received by public and readers, we organize our reflections in two directions : on the one hand, the constituent elements of gothic myth which are medievalism and praise of cathedrals ; on the other hand, the two main components of gothic genre i. E. The sinister mansion pattern and the hero-villain figure. We bring out the main features of "decadent gothic", which revived the themes and form of a literary tradition that would otherwise have been lost in commonplace imitation or hackneyed expression. Thus we see how decadence keeps the tale of terror alive and fully restores its richness and fruitfulness
Coste, Marie-Amélie. "L'être et le paraître dans les romans de Charles Dickens." Paris 4, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA040198.
Full textThis study is based on a typical trait of Dickens's writing – the frequent use of literal meanings. This work aims to show that the distinction between literal and figurative meanings is not simply a matter of puns, but an essential opposition underlying the three levels of word, fiction and being, and revealing a problematic quest for the nature of what is. The notion of the literal appears as all the more important as it does not concern Dickens only, but is at the core of debates particular to the Victorian period. Taking into account the Victorian context, this research starts with the theme of “disfiguring” present in Dickens's novels, in other words with the attempted radical distinction between literal and figurative meanings. The latter, however, is challenged at those places, in Dickens's work, where literal and figurative meanings are confused. But the summoning of the fantastic and the absurd, which arises out of this confusion, never invades the text irrevocably. It remains a potentiality, an issue to be resolved in a third, harmonious way to envisage the relation between the literal and the figurative. This harmony is made possible by the notion of sympathy, which overcomes sterile dichotomies, allows an escape out of the despair and anxiety caused by critical doubt, giving human beings the hope of a more lucid form of belief

Full textThe main characters in boys' adventure stories between the 1830s and the 1860s are young heroes on a quest to find adventure and remote horizons. Their itinerary through British colonial spaces is an initiatory progress towards a masculine ideal. This imagined fashioning of male identity is located at a crossroads between several traditions and idealized images of what "being a man" meant in the first decades of Queen Victoria's reign: between Christian manliness and muscular Christianity, figures of the gentleman, the knight and the hero, it is the palimpsestic production of an idealised masculinity which is being played out in those narratives. Which images, stereotypes and norms are brought into play? How do they circulate and how are they circulated? How is the progress towards a dominant model of masculinity narrated and illustrated by a grammar? The literary text gives birth to a specific staging of gender, between the imitation and the incorporation of norms, norm which can be otherwise circumvented, or even turned upside down through hybridization processes that these British boys are subjected to in the contact with geographical, cultural and gendered otherness. The reader is rapidly confronted to the fluctuation of novels which are much less rigid than one could anticipate. These novels turn out to be the production site of several masculinities which are experiencing phenomena of friction and interpenetration

Full textPregnant as it is in 18th and 19thC British novels, the reader in the text is potent with meaning for the history of the novel. Related to the history of the book and the discontinuous act of reading imposed on readers by the publication of novels in different volumes or episodes, the reader figure may also be seen as a more or less faithful representation of actual readers. The reader figure thus retraces the complex history of the relationship between the novel and its readers. Behind what appears as a complacent will to invite the widest audience to the reading of novels, a more systematic tendency to define readership by exclusion can hardly be concealed. Paradoxical as this may be, the novel has much to fear from its readers. Moved by their will to have the genre clearly distinguished from vulgar romances, the authors will repeatedly push those unwelcome readers likely to lead the whole literary edifice to a collapse back to the margins of their texts. But the reader cannot just be a matter of representation: it also is a narrative double, a sort of mirror erected to the self-conscious narrator who uses it to build up the hardly legitimate literary authority he stands for. Thus the reader figure and the self-conscious narrator are linked by an indissolvable bond. The variations in number of reader figures only reverberate the frailty of the authorial voice and the anxiety of reception expressed in a highly symptomatic text-undermining rhetoric
Kany, Laurence. "Le système des personnages dans l’oeuvre romanesque d’Eugène Sue." Paris 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA030104.
Full textEugene Sue is an unrecognized writer, however his literary work is signicant and his name was international at his time. Through his thematic of characters system, we can notice the progress of an ideology of this protean writer. The manichean system, who govern Sue's characters, is put in place from the designation of the characters, and strengthened by the portrait. Extrapolating, we will say that the villain will be imperfectly named. In addition, there's no opposition or nearly between be or seem to be. Consequently, ugliness is the attribute of a negative character. The hero found his place in Sue's novel notably by creating a superman with the Rodolphe character's in Les Mystères de Paris. In opposition, we found evilness geniuses who haven’t got any pretext to their malicious intents. Eugène Sue considers his characters as a support to an ideological demonstration. The education and the social background are the first reason evocate to explain the character lowering. Take back the Fournier and Saint Simon theories, he suggests reformation aimed at improve social condition of the poorest, namely the women and the lower class. We can feel the conversion to the socialism of the writer at the end of his career up till the hero’s representation which is from now on plebeian
Leclair, Marion. "Politique et poétique du roman radical en Angleterre (1782-1805)." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA080/document.
Full textThis dissertation examines a corpus of English novels which have been little studied in France as yet and never as a whole. The novels were published between 1782 and 1805 by a group of writers who, by their ideas and in some cases active political commitment, belong to the radical movement which developed in England in the second half of the eighteenth century, gained impetus and structure in the wake of the French Revolution, and collapsed at the end of the decade when faced with repression from the government of William Pitt. Radical novelists, many of whom, like William Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft and John Thelwall, were philosophers and pamphleteers before they took to novel-writing, flew to the defence of the rights of man (and of the rights of woman) in the revolution controversy which pitted Thomas Paine against Edmund Burke – and their work bears the mark of the rise and demise of the radical movement. Combining intellectual history with classical narratology, book history, and the social and cultural history of radicalism, this dissertation seeks to highlight the way in which political ideology is built into the very forms of the novels – in the characters’ speech and the characters themselves, in the novels’ plot and narration type, in their style and publishing format, as well as in their meaningful silences. Such a study brings to light, rather than a coherent radical ideology, a recurring tension between two versions of radicalism, liberal and jacobin, bourgeois and plebeian, whose partly conflicting conjunction assumes different shapes from one novelist to the other and between the early 1780s and late 1790s, as radical hopes of reform sink under the conservative backlash

Full textThe complexity and uniqueness of samuel richardson's epistolary novels become apparent through the study of order and disorder in the light of body and mind. Order is thwarted by the troubles affecting the characters' minds and bodies, the body of the text, and the literary corpus. The two principles are united in a dialectical pattern in which the writer underlines the coincidence of contraries. The novels strive after order, which is only contemplated after trials necessary to the purification and sublimation of perturbations. However the quest for order remains incomplete, and the two elements are inseparable. The fusional dialectics influences the novels' aesthetics. Richardson rejects linearity and integrates ellipsis into his works, which revolve around their centre, and mix reality and theatricality. The text progresses at the same time as it regresses, and requires the reader's participation. Inversion and doubleness are at the core of the novels, which become multiple and plurivocal, and avoid any kind of manicheism. Their structure is akin to that of an eighteenth- century english garden. The writer plays with literary conventions to show the paradoxes of the corpus, which seems to escape the control of the various organizing instances and ends on the impossibility to come to a conclusion. The interpenetration of order and disorder is organized by richardson to create a new novelistic order
Labourg, Alice. "Peinture et écriture : l'imaginaire pictural dans les romans gothiques d'Ann Radcliffe." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013AIXM3084.
Full textThis study will analyse the different links that Ann Radcliffe’s “word-painting”—as her writing has often been called—bears with painting, from a thematic, structural, symbolic and formal point of view. We shall first see how the novels fit into the aesthetical context of the time and its pictorial paradigm—seventeenth century landscape painting as an iconographical model, the rediscovery of Gothic architecture as a pictorial motif, the picture-like vision of the picturesque. Liliane Louvel’s intermedial approach and her definition of the “pictorial” within a text-image problematics will help us see how Radcliffe spins out her pictorial metaphor and implements her own strategies to make the reader “see pictures” in a paragon-esque desire to emulate painting. Full-sized pictures and miniature portraits also play an important role in the unfolding of the narrative. Their diegetic and symbolic functions will be studied in reference to their intersemiotic specificities as literary works of art. Finally, the study of landscape description at the core of the radcliffian iconotext will help us see how two different types of pictoriality interact, one based on figurative representation which aims at making the reader “see pictures”, and another more diffuse form which works on a semiotic level through deconstruction and iconic dissemination, expressing the pictorial signifier in words. It makes “fragments of pictoriality” shine throughout the text by means of pictorial substitutes and a synesthetic experience of “iconorythmic” pictures. We shall thus prove how the pictorial is the specific mode of Radcliffe’s Gothic writing and articulates the problematics of the female Gothic

Full textThe study of the output of romantic literature in france between 1827 and 1840 highlights the dominant position occupied during these years by a genre which contemporary critics and the authors themselves defined as universal. The period is remakable in that novels (second-rate novels or recognised masterpieces) appear capable of going beyond and indeed absorbing all other genres. In 1827, the "Préface of Cromwell" affirmed the desire of the "romantiques" to break free of genre-imposed limits. However, the Hugolien thesis triumphed less easily in drama than in fiction, which alone was able to merge all genres, traditional or otherwise. However, in 1840, the novel ceased to be such a "laboratory of genres" where anything goes: firstly, it once again resorted to clichés with the emergence of the serialised novel and mass-produced literature and, secondly, it abandoned genre-related excentricities in order to move towards realism in the novel. However, the hybrid novel of 1830, is multi-faceted in the way in which it merges the various genres, which fluctuate between between anarchy and order. Thence, by incorporating history and drama, the novel gains in terms of credibility and overall unity. However, at the same time, a wave of quietly ironic works mocked the aspirations of this generation to create a "total" novel : absorbing and deforming everything in their path, these fragmented works circumvented and renewed obsolete genres and even sought to go beyond their limits. By tacking all the various genres, they appear to be challenging literature itself, but as part of a movement from which the romantic novel, apparently badly shaken, emerges reinvigorated. This regenerative capacity can be found in novels which are apparently unclassifiable, which, for example, veer first towards dialogue-based genres, the towards poetry, seeking another type of harmony between the genres within a novel, towards whose development they contribute just as much as the ironic novels

Full textThis study relates the rise of the French detective novel from late Second Empire to the First World War. It springs up in the judicial novels of Emile Gaboriau (1836-1873), the “father of French detective novel” and of his imitators, unrecognized novelists of the Second Empire and the Third Republic. It ends up with the first great cycles of detective adventures in the Belle Epoque, Arsene Lupin’s ones, written by Maurice Leblanc, and Rouletabille’s by Gaston Leroux. First, the research singles out the historical, literary and social factors which favoured the emergence of this genre: the popular press and serial novel development, the public’s rising interest for criminal topics and the evolution of police methods. It shows how appeared and progressively came into practice a new kind of novel, based on the actions of the character of the detective and on the process of piecing together the crime scenario. Second, the study puts the detective novel back in its connections with the contemporary world and emphasizes the wealth of its content. 19th century detective novels possess a realist vocation and tend to be similar to documents about the functioning of institutions and the rules of society. Their themes reveal the fears and the astonishment of the contemporaries who experienced the deep mutations of the industrial and urban civilization as a trauma and wondered about their consequences. Detective novels mirror the fears of a society who faces new dangers, but they either reflect its hopes, based upon the scientific and technical progress
Pingitore, Gavin Viviane. "Charles Dickens, un auteur de transition à la croisée du gothique et du policier." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018BOR30051/document.
Full textIn order to investigate the transition from the Gothic genre to the detective fiction in Charles Dickens's works, our study will first concentrate on the Victorian social context that led to the collision of two literary genres, the Gothic and the detective fiction. We will define Dickensian Gothic. Actually, Dickens stages a twofold familiar universe. One universe belongs to the past – a real world that is well known to the readers. The second universe shows an insertion in literary history of an intertextual fabric – described as typical and easily shared by his readers. We will then deal with the effects of this violent collision upon the characters' memories and will define the expression of trauma in Dickens's fiction. Trauma primarily rests upon identity confusion. It originates from a sense of failure of identity belonging together with a sense of loss of society bearings that Dickens's characters experience and thought to be immutable. Finally, we will show how Gothic and Detective fictions interact in Dickens's fiction. We will analyse the societal elements that explain this almost against nature meeting for we could assume that the rational explanation that comes at the end of the detective novel should solve the Gothic tensions. But in fact, the solving of the inquests doesn't free the fiction from a Gothic aftermath. We will then study the transfer of powers from lawyers to detective police officers. This transfer of powers is noticeable both in Victorian society and the Dickensian text. We will then conclude with the persistence of Gothic in Dickens's fiction that makes detective police officers some sort of antiquarians of a new genre

Full textThis thesis investigates the representations of the doppelganger figure in three nineteenth-century British Gothic novels: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Using Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species and The Descent of Man, and Sigmund Freud’s The Uncanny, I argue that the doppelganger symbolizes social conventions and anxieties of British men in the 1800s. By examining the physical and metaphorical representations of duality and the doppelganger figure in literature, I demonstrate that duplicity was commonplace in nineteenth-century London. I conclude that the doppelgangers are physical Gothic manifestations of terror that epitomize nineteenth-century struggles with propriety, repression of desires, and fears of atavism, descent, and the unknown.

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to examine the characteristics and the development of the psychological representation in Émile Zola's novels, referring to the “psychological novel” in his time, represented by George Sand and Paul Bourget. From Thérèse Raquin (1867), against the idealism of the “psychological novel” in the manner of George Sand, the Naturalist Zola tries to substitute a physiology of the soul for the psychology; as well as the body, the soul is determined by the surroundings and the heredity. From La Joie de vivre (1884), however, under the influence of the “psychological novel” in the manner of Bourget, Zola progressively separates from the Naturalist determinism. He attaches great importance to the inner life of the characters in his novels and projects his own ideology and philosophy on the inner discourse of these characters. In his later works, the subjectivity of the author finally becomes predominant over the objectivity demanded by the Naturalist theory
Kandji, Mamadou. "Roman anglais et traditions populaires de Walter Scott à Thomas Hardy." Rouen, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988ROUEL047.
Full textAgarian popular culture is an important component of the nineteenth-century english novel. This thesis is an attempt to map out the manifestations of customs, beliefs and popular superstitions, in the english novel, from Walter Scott to Thomas Hardy. The first chapter of this dessertation deals with the cultural heritage. Next, follow the chapters on Scott, Emily, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot and finally, Hardy who availed themselves of the popular culture they had known and observed, in order to give substance and depth to their fiction. Scott taps the customs, beliefs, of the scottish highlands aiming, in so doing, at the rivival of ancient popular culture. Whereas the Brontë sisters approach it differently. Charlotte is more sensitive to fantasay, fantasmagoria and mental issues ; Emily deals with the supernatural germane to the ballad tradition (fairies, ghost-lores, witchcraft and demonology). The second part of the dissertation reviews George Eliot and Hardy as regional novelists who explore the folklore and local customs of their respective midlands and dorsetshire. In george eliot's treatment, satire and irony take the lead over romanticism. In Hardy’s works one can observe the richness and depth of dorsetshire folklore : popular feasts, fair-grounds, superstitions, and sundry customs and beliefs are handled vividly. As a conclusion, the thesis states that the rise of the english novel is closely related to the genesis of folklore scholarship and popular culture

Full textThis analysis is based on three romantic series by dumas: the Valois cycle, the trilogy and the memoirs of a physician. These works are characterized by a cyclic architecture, animated by a double movement, prospective and retrospective, which determines the reading of the whole. The handling of the characters is clearly felt through this singular structure, as is that of time: one finds in dumas two different approaches to time, one linear and another cyclic, which coexist constantly. Elsewhere, the cyclic structure reflects dumas' historical thinking (and its contradictions). On fact he gets his inspiration from Vico and from his conception of a cyclic progression of humanity, based on the ideas of "corsi" and "ricorsi". But above all he adheres, as does Michelet, to the idea of a linear history based on an irreversible progress. Beyond the reversal of similar situations, the dumas' novels illustrate the evolution different represented groups: the royal family and the nobility are heading for disaster, whereas the people are growing in importance. In a parallel way, fiction retraces the mutation of value systems and of philosophies of action. From one cycle to another, the sense of history seems to be more difficult to grasp

Full textIn Great-Britain, the nineteenth century saw the emergence of children’s literature, and the second half of the Victorian era in particular witnessed the Golden Age of that literary genre. The purpose of this work is to define the specificity of the Victorian fairy tale, which differs from its European predecessors in its relatively late appearance, but especially in its innovative writing that underlines at the same time the fact that it belongs to tradition, and its decisively modern nature. The corpus that was chosen encompasses the whole span of this Golden Age and emphasises its main features, that the topos of the mirror enables to synthesise in a unique dialectic: that of the same and the difference. The narrative issues, which express themselves inside and outside the discourse, the stylistic devices as well as the main themes developed in the texts celebrate the Victorian tale as a dual and paradoxical object, at the same time a faithful reflection and a distorted image of the traditional fairy tale, and whose deep links with the social, philosophical, scientific and artistic issues of the Victorian era are inseparable from its purpose and its writing

The large number of images (661) illustrating the story, made it necessary to choose a limited number of illustrated passages. Consequently, this is why the analysis of the relations between text and images, takes into account only the illustrations in the preliminary and final pages of the narration. The fame of the tale raises questions as to the reasons of its lasting impact in the collective memory. One would be inclined to identify aladdin as a social archetype and understand how such an archetype was related through the different illustrations and rewritings of the tale. Indeed, the rewritings of the text for various purposes such as children's books, popular publications, the theatre, the cinema, and the fact that the tale was a source of inspiration for some writers, also raises the question of the relation of aladdin to a myth. The suggested mythical model, that of a man who started from scratch and became immensely rich and powerful, highlights the dimension of magic and wonder in the tale

Full textThe English adventure novel of the nineteenth century, descending from a tradition shaped by the writings of Defoe, Scott, and Dumas, was to find its masterpieces in Tresaure Island and Kidnapped! by Robert Louis Stevenson. These texts represent both the high-point of the genre, and its rewriting and subversion. Joseph Conrad, in his adventurous fiction, responds to this problematizing of the conventions of the genre. Both authors had to situate themselves in relation to the literary debates of their era, and the soon-to-end dominance of realism. In France, at the turn of the twentieth century, literary critics were seeking an alternative in foreign fiction to the moribund novel that they had inherited. In the face of the this “crisis of the novel”, Marcel Schwob was to find, in Robert Louis Stevenson, the author who seemed to give form, in his fiction, to a novel of adventure which transcended the stale oppositions which had fed the debate on the future of the novel in France. This literary encounter is the starting point for a discussion which continued into the 1900s in the literary reviews, where critics led by André Gide begin to develop a theory of the roman d’aventures. This concept of adventure permits us to examine the reception of the works of Stevenson, and those of Conrad, in the literary culture specific to France at the beginning of the twentieth century. In writers’ correspondence, in literary reviews such as the Revue des Deux Mondes, the Mercure de France, or the Nouvelle Revue Française, in translations and French editions of the two authors, a literary phenomenon takes shape, a cultural transfer between the great cosmopolitan writers of the period

Depuis la théorie de l’évolution de Darwin, la science ne représente plus l’homme au-dessus du règne animal, elle l’y inscrit : c’est un animal, de la classe des mammifères, de l’ordre des primates, de la famille des hominidés, du genre homo et de l’espèce sapiens. Pour nommer cette nouvelle fraternité entre l’homme et l’animal, nous proposons le néologisme d’humanimalité, qui postule, par sa graphie même, un lien indéfectible entre humanité et animalité. De L’étrange cas du Dr Jekyll et M. Hyde de Robert Louis Stevenson (1886) à La planète des singes de Pierre Boulle (1963), en passant par Les racines du ciel de Romain Gary (1956) — où le mot « écologie » apparaît pour la première fois dans un roman —, les romanciers explorent cette nouvelle fraternité en mettant en scène des êtres, des créatures et des situations qui n’existent pas dans la réalité. Ce faisant, ils déploient des perspectives de réflexion que la réalité ne met pas toujours à notre portée. Dans la série des quinze romans réunis ici, qui composent le corpus à l’étude, une « voix », celle du narrateur ou du protagoniste, invite le lecteur à s’indigner du fait que l’hominisation ne se soit jamais complétée par une humanisation. Si l’ancêtre animal de l’homme est effectivement devenu homo faber, erectus, puis sapiens, il est toutefois douteux de croire qu’il soit parvenu jusqu’à l’homo humanus (l’homme authentiquement humain). Les raisons de cet écueil s’articulent toutes autour du thème de l’« animalité », qui renvoie tantôt à la part animale en l’homme, tantôt aux rapports que l’homme entretient avec les animaux.

En un siècle où l’homme est responsable de deux guerres mondiales, la barbarie ne peut plus être pensée comme la marque d’une « bête » en l’homme, mais plutôt comme l’un de ses propres : l’homme, un animal inhumain.

Full textAs other nineteenth-century cultural works did, opera contributed to enriching writers'imaginative world, concerned about both its artistic and institutional dimension. In the second part of the period, narrative fiction references to the lyrical phenomenon make it the basis of a metaliterary thought in which the prima donna's personality, the way the performance is looked at, the voice rendering are so many themes used by novelists and short story writers to stage their relationship with writing. This support of opera to the self-reflexive meaning of the works adds to their anthropological purpose. Thus, the hints to the lyrical performance provide the writers with an essential tool for exploring the limits of the reality painted in fiction. Narrative fiction resorts to the sung drama as well, symbolizing the unstable equilibrium between the Apollinian and the Dionysiac, to emphasize the threat exerted by the latter on society, incessantly endangered by a devastating cruelty which persuades the myths enriching opera. Finally, its connivance with the socio-political field supplies the novelists with a significant material to the social criticism in which they represent moreover the emergence of a rebellious subjectivity through the consciousness of a spectator from now on more responsive to his own mental representations than to the splendours of the prevailing ideologies
Delattre, Alexandra. "A contretemps : le roman catholique français du second XIXe siècle : histoire et poétique." Thesis, Nice, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016NICE2014.
Full textThis dissertation explores the constitution of the Catholic novel as a genre in the second half of the 19th century. It aims to show how Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly, Joris-Karl Huysmans and Léon Bloy were misread, partly because of the success of the genre during the 20th century. The popularity of the 20th-century Catholic novelists such as Claude Mauriac or Georges Bernanos has indeed swept away the difficulties encountered by Catholic writers over the course of this anti-clerical period. This work invetigates the reception of the Catholic novel at that time. It is based on historical researches, especially the study of Christian "bibliographies", Catholic press and edition. This provides a better understanding of Barbey d’Aurevilly, Huysmans and Bloy’s conception of Catholic novel as an original theory of art

Full textAs a popular kind of historic novel Alexandre Dumas' cloak and dagger novel emerged between history and stories. After describing the way which le Dumas from history to historic novel, we will show - thanks to the theories of Jacques Rancière and Charles Grivel - how historic matter and literary matter melted into a new genre invented by the writer. Afterwards, we will study the fictional aspect of adventure thanks to the works of Vladimir Jankélévitch. Secondly, we will highlight some key elements of the genre such as characters and places. In so doing we will study the themes and the situations developed by the author and we will try and give a definition of Dumas's novelistic expression. The last part will bring under close scrutiny an aspect of Dumas's creation which has often been neglected by critics, that is the relation between Dumas's writing and cinematographic writing. Analysing Dumas' cloak and dagger novel first as a literary representation essentially based on the ability to show pictures and secondly as the expression of a poetics of movement will enable us to have a better grasp of the creative part underpinning dumasian production. Such a power can be construed as an early cinematographic form or, at least, as an esthetical form half way between literature and cinema

Full textBefore analysing the novel trilogy which includes "María la hija de un jornalero" (1845-1846), "La marquesa de Bellaflor o el niño de la Inclusa" (1846-1847) and "El palacio de los crímenes o el pueblo y sus opresores" (1855), we wish to highlight the personality of its author, Wenceslao Ayguals de Izco (1801-1873), an outstanding figure of Spain in the 1840s. Apart from his literary dedication, he has also been a prominent politician, a military and a publisher. The second part of this work is devoted to the study of the literary features of these novels, often considered as popular novels because they were published and sold in fascicules. This analysis of formal characteristics shows the existence of a predominant mechanism which prevails in what could be called para literary or popular novel: in the case of the author's trilogy, this mechanism is repetition at intra-textual, inter-textual level and between the different types of novels. Our study of the three novels concerns the structure, the characters and the specific relationship which concerns according to the theory of the reception, the narrator of the para-literary story and the reader. Nonetheless, this trilogy cannot be considered only as a popular novel. In spite of the profusion of labels which characterise this kind of novels and which are unsatisfactory, one label seems to be more appropriate and we have chosen to use the term of "mosaic kind" of novel. Different elements as fiction, history, description of places and customs, figures and paintings are included in these novels because they are felt as serving progress. Ayguals, as many writers of the 19th century, is a privileged witness of the society he lives in and a spokesman entrusted with the task of rousing consciousness and who wants to spur on the organisation of a more coherent society. This trilogy, because it impregnated with social reformism, is a committed novel

Full textWhen France moved firmly into written culture at the end of the Nineteenth century, the sentimentalist novel was very widely spread largely thanks to cultural industrialisation. These Romanesque texts that are later known as "Victim's novels" by the generic phrase are part of a literary trend amongst newly educated and alphabetised female readers. This is a study of how these works were received and read. The analysis covers three axis : the empirical context in which the "Victim's novels" were spread, used and perceived ; the authorial and textual strategies of reading guidance ; and last the editorial work surrounding reading. This is the multi-scalar means by which we may attempt to rebuild the history of reading the victim's novel. It is difficult to do so regarding how few written accounts of such exist therefore denying access to first hand knowledge

Full textAfter having distinguished three explicative aspects of the novel (the psychological, social and plot-driven aspects) and defined three corresponding types of novels (novels of characters, manners and plot), this work focuses on the novel of manners during the Bourbon Restoration and the July Monarchy. Heir to quite an old tradition, this genre is at its peak with the Scottian historical novel and the novel of contemporary manners of the 1820’s. Balzac, first influenced by the novel of manners, develops in The Human Comedy a hybrid form (combining social and psychological aspects, novel of characters and novel of manners), which we may call the realistic novel (characterized by an overloading of verisimilitude). This definition of realism does not erase the differences between the authors; it allows, on the contrary, to appreciate the specific poetics developed by Stendhal, George Sand or Champfleury

Full textTheatricality is frequently mentioned as an effect produced on the reader by the novel. However, the notion remains generally imprecise and consequently hardly operative. A study of theatricality from the perspective of a historical poetics of literary genres is necessary to explain its mode of appearance and its properties in Balzac and Stendhal’s novels. Therefore, this work aims to highlight what the notion meant since Aristotle’s Poetics. We will explain first how the idea of a theatrical effect independent from the dramatic mode appeared in the nineteenth century, and, secondly, why the promotion of the novelistic genre implied a link with drama. This analysis emphasizes a few features operating as theatricality markers, which allows to study how these features, combined together, contribute to produce a theatrical effect in the context of novelistic scenes. It appears that the theatricality effect is based upon the narrative speech which produces the dialogue as on a stage. The variety of the features used by Stendhal or Balzac allows to enlighten the differences that characterize the aesthetics of each novelist. Finally, the adoption of a dramatic pattern by the novel is closely linked to hermeneutic and pragmatic perspectives : by informing the universe represented in the novel, this pattern gives information to the reader about the rules that govern society ; by regulating the connection between the reader and the fiction, it enables to correlate emotional paroxysm with critical distance

Full textFrom his birth in 1812 until his death in 1870, Charles Dickens was part of the industrial development era of the 19th century which brought about the consumer society and new forms of reading that transformed the use of documents. Dickens comments on these different forms and uses throughout his work, both in his novels and in his essays, in which he demonstrates a persistent uncertainty concerning the power of the author. This dissertation aims at reflecting on the role of the reader and the act of reading as they are presented in Dickens’s novels. Dickens’s characters are presented as concrete readers who imperfectly interpret the various texts they are presented with. The reception of written texts is subject on the one hand to the character’s subjectivity and on the other hand the materiality of the document which comes between the reader and the text. Thus whatever sense is construed by a Dickensien reader can differ from the original intent of the text’s author. Contrary to an orally delivered message, a written text is part of a differed communication into which subjectivity and matter irrupt. Considering these two parameters within the process of written communication, this work adopts the perspectives of the Anglo-Saxon critical study called Book History. The analysis of the textual object which is the document is connected with the theoretical reflections on objects as considered in Thing Theory. Together with these theories, this work is interested in “the material imagination” in Dickens’s work which thinks and dreams about the materiality of the document. We set out to understand why and how Dickens paradoxically attempts to deconstruct inert materials such as paper, signboards, stones as media for writing to then examine his dream of living texts which find its answer in man, beyond matter

Full textThe purpose of this doctoral thesis is a thorough study of the complete works by louise von francois (novels, stories and essays). The first part presents an analysis of the contents and structures of louise von francois's historical novels, and points out the fact that these works are written in both an historical and an ethical perpectives, which confers a character other than plainly picturesque or documentary to the historical facts or events dealt with. The second part contains a study of the psychological studies by louise von francois. These various texts offer constant themes which enable the reader to define louise von francois's etical ideals, mainly based on the concept of "bildung" and on the principles of classical humenism. The third part shows how louise von francois is actually linked with a way of thinking already anachronistic in the second half of the 19th century, which makes problmeatic nowadays the reception of this author, while it suggests what aspects of her works may still deserve to be aknowledged

Full textJin Ping Mei 金瓶梅, one of the greatest masterpieces of the vernacular Chinese fiction, faced controversy ever since it appeared at the end of the 16th century. Scholars like Feng Menglong馮夢龍 (1574-1646) recognized the novel to be exceptional early on, placing it amongst the Si da qishu 四大奇書 (Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel). However, there still is a halo of unresolved mysteries around Jin Ping Mei, despite the fact that it has been the focal point of numerous studies. Some questions remain unsolved, such as the identity of its author, the authenticity of its editions, or its possible interpretations. Despite the bad reputation that the novel still suffers from in mainland China, its raised the interest from French and English sinologists as soon as 1816. Ever since, the novel has been the subject of partial translations and adaptations highly perfectible. Starting with an analysis of the sources and a synthesis of current hypothesis about the book and its interpretations, our thesis will then focus on all the adaptations and translations of the novel in English and in French, to ultimately confront the two best integral translations available to that day, namely André Lévy’s (1985) and David Tod Roy’s (1993 to 2013). This confrontation will allow us to distinguish the interpretations that translators had of the novel, and to expose the strategies they resorted to. A crucial part of our work will be to underline the interpretative positions of both translators, and the interpretative potential that results from their choices. Our goal is not to judge of the value of said translations, but rather to offer a better understanding of the depth of Jin Ping Mei
自十六世紀末問世以來,《金瓶梅》一直都是一部有爭議的作品。作為一部中國古代通俗長篇小說的著作,以及被馮夢龍稱為“四大奇書”之一,《金瓶梅》至今為止仍存在許多未解之謎。雖然對作品的相關研究日漸增多,但是關於作者的身份、版本以及對作品的闡釋等問題尚未達成共識。直至今日,《金瓶梅》在中國仍臭名昭著,但是這並不妨礙它在國外的流傳。早至1816 年,這部作品便引起了法國第一位漢學家的注意。兩個世紀以來,在法國紛紛出現了各種選段翻譯、改寫以及問題種種的不完整的法譯本。同樣,《金瓶梅》在英美國家的傳播之路也是漫長而艱難。該論文首先對《金瓶梅》的文學特色以及作品闡釋的問題進行相關探討,然後對《金瓶梅》所有翻譯和改寫的法譯本和英譯本進行研究,特別是對該作品的兩個完整的法譯本(André Lévy 雷威安 1985 年譯成)和英譯本(David TodRoy 苪效衛 1993 年至2013 年五卷本) 進行對比研究。通過對這些譯本的研究,我們能深入地了解譯者對作品的闡釋,他們採用的翻譯策略,以及他們譯本的優劣性。該論文的研究重點是譯者對作品闡釋的主體性,以及他們的翻譯策略給譯本讀者對原著理解帶來的影響。我們的研究並不是為了對譯本進行質量的評估,而是通過對譯本的研究來讓我們對《金瓶梅》這一複雜而極具爭議的作品有更深層的了解。

Full textIn the 19th century, there were many representations of the prison in literature. Studies of customs and parisian paintings explore the prison and novels describe scenes of imprisonment (Sue, Les Mystères de Paris, Balzac, Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes, La Fille Élisa). The fascination of prisons achieved popularity well beyond literary people : investigators, hygienists, theorists of the penal system, also questioned the issue of imprisonment. Contemporary historiographical views see the 19th century as a pivotal moment in penal history. Since the Revolution, the prison has been perceived as being the corner stone of a new system of punishment. In light of this historical change, this study analyses the literary representations of prisons from an outside point of view, the view of someone who is not imprisoned, and, the narrative using the third person in novels. Forging links with the areas of knowledge that accompagny the introduction of criminal prison, literature plays an important part in the social narrative that represents the modernity of prison life. In this seminar, the reader will not fail to recognize the ambivalences and contradictions. Novels of adventure and romance, social commentaries and moralistic novels, works of realism and of naturalism will all in turn be explored to reflect the diversity of representations. The political and moral implications, but also aesthetic and poetic figuration by the fiction of the experience of incarceration, are a major challenge of this study
Huchet, Dorothée. "La fiction de John Le Carré à l'ère du soupçon : du roman policier au roman d'espionnage." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012REN20063.
Full textMany readings of John le Carré’s spy fiction agree on its particular position within the genre. However, none link the specificity of the le carrean novels and writings, borrowing from the detective novel and the American hard-boiled novel, to the political, philosophical and epistemological context. When the first novels by John le Carré were published, in the 1960s, the world was facing great political and social upheavals. If new elements are then apparent in the spy novel, and if le Carré’s fiction is one of those which embodies these changes, traces of the epistemological break of the 1960s is clear in the author’s works: the flexibility of the moral values within the secret services, the dogmatic, and sometimes ideological, void in the professional agent, or again the reassessment of History, perceived as the result of acts of manipulation in le carrean fiction. Therefore, while his work enters the era of suspicion, as described and magnified in the covert world of John le Carré, it is a reflection of the anxieties specific to postmodernity at the end of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, on the other hand, the novels drift away from this as they do not convey an endless multiplication of meanings or a total absence of truth. The hero has the possibility of evolving and learning in his novels. From a literary standpoint, although le Carré follows the writing pattern of the spy novel, he has also partly reshaped it from the inside when he brought it towards the detective novel and the quest for truth and when he enriched it with postmodern questions. His work therefore occupies an in-between position: it has entered postmodernity without giving way to the excess of multiplicity or chaos, and it has continued to use the genre conventions to make them evolve towards a reflection on the place of the human being

Full textThe evolution of david lodge's oeuvre seems to correspond strictly to the three phases of the modern catholic novel as defined by the american critic gene kellogg in the vital tradition : the catholic novel in a period of convergence (chicago : loyola university press. 1970). After a first traditional phase as a "separatist" novelist writing for the exaltation of his religion and community, lodge moves towards an "assimilative" attitude and rebels against the religious and communal values which he had hitherto scrupulously respected, before entering a third "interpenetrative" phase which heralds a return towards the same values according to the rules of an aesthetics of indirection. This work is fundamentally based on a thematic analysis and relies on the study of the motifs and topoi characteristic of the catholic novel as a genre. This approach helps establish lodge's hesitation between scrupulous respect of and variations from the generic decorum of the catholic novel. Moreover, alongside a represented attitude of respect and transgression (as is obvious in his treatment of the theme of sexual morality, for instance), lodge offers a representing treatment of the same notions by resorting to decrowning, parodic and comic antitheses, reflexivity, or even comedy. His chronicle of the evolution of a religious community thus associates realism and experiment, and presents the reader with a redefinition of the postmodern catholic novel

Full textThis study entitled, "Society as a subject for a novel". The convergence of elements of Naturalism in the novels of Zola, Clarín, Pérez Galdós and Emilia Pardo Bazán, endeavours to analyze the influence of the author of the Rougon-Macquart series on his fellow spanish authors. The Second Empire and the Spanish Restoration period will be shown to have been at the forefront of the literary scene. In Zola's works and those of the spanish naturalist writers, the middle class and the working class will express the economic and social changes in each country and in modern society. In their novels, Zola and the spanish naturalists manage to depict the society in which they lived from a literary point of view through the use of naturalist description, free indirect speech and everyday language. Both physiological or sociological determinism will play their part in the creation of Zola's Characters and those of the Spanish naturalists. However Galdós, Clarín and doña Emilia Pardo Bazán will never portray their characters in the same primitive way as Zola. Finally, spanish naturalism will soon develop into a form of spiritualism that is more characteristic of the French literature of the second half of the nineteenth century, the period which heralded the Decadent movement

Full textDumas’ historical novels fully participate in the process of redefinition of historical writing in the early nineteenth century. His work sheds light on recaptured time, a history which is alive and gradually taken charge of by the people, and the recipient of which is explicitly the people. Through historical myths and providentialist ideology, Dumas provides his readers, through the specific methodology of the novel, with the hermeneutics of an emancipatory history. The historical novel, informed by republican ideology, projects the issues of the present into the past. On the political and artistic levels, Dumas is fully engaged with his own time. His characters are the historian’s substitute. Through them, he displays an analysis of historical methods and a reflection on the ways history is constructed. As a form of reflected time, History is reconceptualized through methods of fictionalization and dramatization, which place it at the heart of Dumas’ poetics. By blending history and poetry together, Dumas puts the historical novel at the service of an artistic project which is simultaneously total and democratic, thus confirming his status as a major romantic author
