Full textThe scope of this research was twofold : theoretical and historical. Theoretically speaking, it was a matter of pointing out the necessity to renew interest in the authorial presence, an issue that has been so neglected by the "new criticism". With that aim in mind, part of the research focused on the various representations of the writer that emerged during the period of literary history - the romantic period - when the author became consubstantial with the very essence of literature. The author is no more pawn external to the literary world, but a complex presence that unfolds on three levels : the real, the textual and the imaginary. Using the notion of the " imaginary writer ", the study meant to highlight the importance of the self- representations displayed - volons nolons - by the writers themselves, liberally relayed and transformed by the roaders. Yet, an this matter of his identity as an artist, the writer is never totally on his own. Various "scenarios" are offered to him, which, depending on each historical period, open up different positions for him to occupy in the imaginary social space. The first part of this study focuses on the general dynamics of romantic authorial scenographies, taking into account both their collective impact and the way they are used by the individual actors of the literature scene : the author and the reader. The second part draws the inventory of the notional material and of the processes that enabled to romantic writers to define various hierarchical "literary roles". It also point out the "author-functions" that were forcefully offered or prohibited to the romantic writer. Finally, the third part is meant to bring forth the five major authorial scenographies of the romantic age : the melancholic, paternal, energetic, ironic and disillusioned scenographies

Full textIn the early nineteenth century, the revolutionary break has brought some renowal in literaty forms. A large novelistic production in search of new code testifies for it, among which personal novels - especially first names-titles, whose increase is significant -are emblematic for a textual expression of the rising of the subject in the revolutioned society. Emancipated sublet seemingly, yet basically objet, racket by a tragic symptomatology - melancholy, insanity, spleen, impotence -, figurative for some harm that troubles the century in its children for all those heroes, despite the diversity of their personal stories, narrative voices -and the narrative way -apply themselves to bypass the specious ways of history. Since present time is a dead end, since paradise is lost for good, romantic heroes are led to question the genius of memories. Yet, the patterns surveyed whether ancient whether renaissance ages - have bequeathed nothing but ruins to set against the triomphal way the new world - the new-world -is on where interests is an other name for ethics.
Degout, Bernard. "L'impossible souveraineté : Victor Hugo et la condamnation royaliste du romantisme, 1819-1824." Paris 12, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA120003.
Full textThis thesis considers its subject (victor hugo until 1824, strictly) in its relation to the condamnation of romanticism by the societe royale des bonneslettres and the quatre academies, end of 1823 and beginning of 1824. The purpose is to make clear that victor hugo's work has been concerned in the first place by this condamnation, but by no means because of a concealed liberalism. Has been condamned a particular inflection of royalism (built through a rewriting of chateaubriand) that refused to the restauration the fact of being a real restauration. The strong tense of victor hugo's work to the future, the strength found in the certitude that the french revolution was opening a new era, were fought by the also strong certitude that the future was intimately threatened by the bad that had just made a formidable irruption in history ; his royalism tried to base poetically an organical sovereignety of divine law, and in the same time, the poet, whose legitimacy lay in the assomption of his divine destination, was obliged to confess that god stayed hidden to him
Le, Men Ségolène. "L'Illustration en France au dix-neuvième siècle : la cathédrale illustrée." Paris 7, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA070158.
Full textThis research about nineteenth century French illustration (2 books and 65 articles or catalogues) deals mainly with the synchronical system of French romantic illustration and with the diachronical genre of children's book illustration : the case-studies consider abcs, caricature, romantic books and sets of prints, children's picture books, posters and art criticism about prints. . . The art of illustration is presented as a new visual language, based upon the circulation of vignettes and upon conventional categories of images : types, sites and scenes. This romantic visual imagery, which appeared in book illustrations and journal caricatures or cartoons, survived at the end of the century within the art of the poster and other massmedia pictures, packaged in standardized visual formulas. However this turn of the century evolution of commercial imagery appears similarly within high art and thus is linked to the advent of modern art. At the time when romantic illustrated books started to become a market collected by connoisseurs, Manet and Seurat painted social types, sketched as they had appeared in les français peints par eux-mêmes. Thus romantic illustration played the role of an experimental language for nineteenth century artists. This thesis leads us to reconsider the distinction between high and low art in the advent of modernism : the unpublished essay, la cathedrale illustree, addresses the link between abstraction and picturesque romanticism and studies the symbolic site of the cathedral, from Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris to Monet's series of Rouen cathedrals. My art historical research runs between the history of art and literature and the history of the book, and thus belongs to cultural studies : focusing over the circulation and transmission of images, it covers also the sociology of artistic professions, and the new business of illustrations and posters
Marcandier, Christine. "Beauté et violence : crimes de sang et scènes de meurtre dans la littérature romantique (1823-1848)." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA040184.
Full textThis thesis studies the links between beauty and violence in the romantic literature (novel poetry, theatre, theoretic writings), throughout crime scenes. It intends to demonstrate that romantism, following the enlightenment, defined new criterions of beauty and opposed to the classical rules of order and harmony those of wounded bodies' in a mix of grotesque and sublime. Therefore, crime scenes seem to be the place where this new definition reaches its higher point, its most visible dimension. Following an historical pattern, in order to stress the importance of the French revolution and of the guillotine scenes, our study follows the transformations of a body imaginary which explores the maestrian analysis of blood, Balzac’s vitalism or Stendhal’s energy worship. Criminal figures are the epitomy of this new esthetic: female vampires, bloody nuns, "exotic" characters (the Corsican, the Negro, the Italian. . . ), fictive or real murderers (Lacenaire), all of them practicing crime as a fine art. Crime scenes are the romantic arts of poetry. Murder becomes then the support for numerous scenic variations: decapitated or slaughtered bodies, profaned hearts, the violent death introduces to a spectacle in which blood is linked to sensual pleasure. Confronted to a text which shows and dramatizes crime, the reader is transformed in a voyeur by a writer who plays with this fascination, and is ironical about his reader's attraction for blood. Blood and crime imaginary goes throughout the whole romantism, feeds its scenes, and is a means to the renewing of the genres and of the reader's statute. Violence becomes a language: recurrent scenes, intertextuality, cliches often employed in an ironical way. In this very point, violence meets derision

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 textThe thesis aims to examine the views of literary critics and scholars of the first half of the nineteenth century on one of the theree branches of medieval french literature in jehan bodel's classification, the "matter of britain". The study of the contribution of literary criticism to the understanding of medieval and in particular arthurian texts takes as its framework the literary debate on romanticism and its consequences. Against this background it attempts to show how attitudes towards the texts reflect some of the general trends of french romanticism. In relation to works of scholarship of the period the thesis studies to what extent the views of scholars, especially in the areas of the aesthetic value of the texts and the origins of the matter of britain, are also a reflection of concerns which can be called "romantic"

Full textThe 1830's are caracterized by the emergence of a young romantic generation. Among those new writers is Paul Lacroix, young ambitious man who desires to influence the litterature of his own time. He succeds to do so thanks to the historical novels he published under the pseudonym of « Bibliophile Jacob », old erudite book lover. He expresses through his work his will to give his public a taste for history, known to be an austere and demanding science. He also tries to stand out from his illustrious predecessors in becoming the « french Walter Scott ». Then, he plays on the attraction of eroticism and leads to his readers into the heart of the most intimate secrets of France history. By showing of the erotic side of history, Paul Lacroix gives his personal definition of the historical novel. That way, he brings up question about romantic aesthetic and expresses ideologicals claimings. This plural approach will enable to identify the issues of his writing and to show the limits of his project

Full textThéodore de Banville, a little known poet generally associated with the “fantaisiste” current because of his Odes funambulesques, is at last attracting the attention of university criticism since his works provide a new vision of post-romantic poetry. Not only was Banville Baudelaire’s closest friend, he was seen as a master by Mallarmé, Verlaine and Rimbaud. By taking all of Banville’s poetry into account-from Les Cariatides (1842) to Dans la fournaise (1891) –, the intention is to re-situate the poet within the history of the nineteenth-century’s Hellenic rebirth side by side with Hugo, Baudelaire, Gautier, Leconte de Lisle, Ménard…, in a period of crisis during which artists tried to exile themselves from a “prudhommesque” world. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to re-think the aesthetic evolution of Banville’s poetry through Hellenism as well as the complex relationship between Romanticism and the Parnasse, the second being simplistically viewed as a repudiation of the first while Banville was central to both movements. Like Gautier, Banville was as a “bridge” between Romanticism and the Parnasse

Full textThe nineteenth-century Paris night is summed up in a repertoire of « scenes » inscribed in novels, panoramic literature and newspaper images. The nocturnal mindset associated with the period of the July Monarchy in particular is revealed in these canonical texts, as well as little- consulted documents, penned by relatively obscure authors. Engravers and caricaturists, novelists and commentators all served as witnesses of, as well as participants in, the nocturnal capital. This thesis examines the imaginary and the poetics surrounding the nocturnal city, from depictions of the crowds thronging the boulevards to the evocations of the solitary noctambule on a voyage of self- discovery. Also scrutinised are the social types of the chiffonnier, the prostitute and the criminal. The poetics of this urban and nocturnal imaginary is located in between a Romanticism of nocturnal impressionism and fantasmagoria, and conversely a realism that highlights the social structures of the night

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
Tellier, Virginie. "Le discours du fou dans le récit romantique européen : (Allemagne, France, Russie)." Thesis, Dijon, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012DIJOL008.
Full textThe thesis studies the linguistics, philosophy and aesthetics of literary language of the madman in the Romantic era. It focuses on The Devil's Elixirs (Hoffmann, 1815), The Crumb Fairy (Nodier, 1832), The Diary of a Madman (Gogol, 1835), The Sylph (Odoevsky, 1837) and Aurelia (Nerval, 1855). Other narratives are more promptly summoned, as The Night Watches (Bonaventura, 1804) or Louis Lambert (Balzac, 1832). The madman is a problematic being: he is both unhealthy and inhabited by a divine inspiration. This paradox finds a new relevance in the first half of the nineteenth century. On the one hand, the development of Alienism tends to define mental pathologies from a medical point of view. On the other hand, the birth of the Fantastic promotes the figure of the mad artist. The Madman, when he speaks, questions autobiographical writing and redefines the Self, Space and Time. His speech has pragmatic issues: the madman seeks to demonstrate that he is not mad, in a society which condemns him. He also endeavours to convey a truth. His language is then used to describe the mythical forces that travel the world and, perhaps, to recreate it. The notion of creation is essential. The Romantic era modifies the definition of literature, which loses its representative function in favour of a purely linguistic function. The speech of the madman takes part in the founding of new aesthetics: it creates it in a critical gesture that questions its legitimacy. Impossible and unthinkable, it embodies the "silent speech" (J. Rancière) that becomes modern literature

Full textThe literary controversy between Classicism and Romanticism represents itself as a drama of light and shadow. Romanticism in the beginning was a shadow of the Classicism that, although proud of its past glory, began to decline. The decade 1820-1830 can be defined as a transition period, during which the obscure “newcomer” dethrones the “old champ”. French literary history has so far recounted this glorious story of the Romantics by referring exclusively to what they told. In other words, little has been done to examine the literary controversy seen by its losers. However, light and shadow go together; so to understand the history of Romanticism as a whole, it is necessary to complete it with another version told by the defenders of classical doctrine. With this in mind, this study attempts to revisit the decade 1824-1834 and to examine some historical controversies covering a wide range of subjects related to French Romanticism: thus we will be concerned with the anti-romantic speech of the academician Louis-Simon Auger that raised objections from Romantics such as Émile Deschamps, the debate between François-Benoît Hoffman and Victor Hugo about the poetic use of “image” or that of Désiré Nisard and Jules Janin about the condition of literature after the July Revolution of 1830. Romantics are wrong to consider Romanticism as their own creation. On the contrary, this new esthetic movement has been established through various conflicts between classical and romantic schools. From this point of view, analyzing their controversies will make it possible to understand how these two literary movements have created their own image as well as that of their opponent

Full text1820. « The Meditations. » « The Lake. » Who remembers what comes after ? Nonetheless, Lamartine has not only invented romantic lyricism, he has also actualized his poetic doctrine in the field apparently furthest apart from his green shady hills: in parliamentary politics. From 1834 to 1848, and then practically until his death, he built his destiny as an exceptionally talented multi-facetted writer. He became simultaneously and successively an orator at the Parliament, a historian, a journalist, a novelist. With one single mission: to invent on Earth one of his « imaginary Republics » which are evoked in political and poetical manifestos as soon as 1830. He is the founding father of modern democracy and he reminds us that the politics led by the governments is and always will be in debt towards poetry. In February 1848, did he spectacularly succeed in combining the poem with the political tribune ? Or did he, on the contrary, fail to take the turn of disenchantment, surpassed by the new generation, Flaubert and Baudelaire ? There is no doubt that the modern poet has not always managed to avoid failure. Sometimes lyrical – « successful », as would Stendhal would have put it (using the English word) – but also sometimes hated, mocked, and finally fallen from both poetry and power, Lamartine is the democratic poet « par excellence ». He gave a revolutionary sovereignty to public opinion, to popular gossip, to street rumour, to the voices of the people. He consecrated them with a language sensitive and rebellious, inventing mass lyricism: as lyric as his ancient and glorious muses, at the risk of losing poetry

Full textThe years which followed the French Revolution were troubled by anti-establishment social dynamics, major political uncertainties, and were marked by numerous literary movements. The many political changes of the period resulted in concern for norm and law. Which were the different positions that the major actors of the Romantic stage adopted regarding norm, law, morals – unsteady concepts in this period of political and judicial fluctuation? These connections may be discussed, analyzing the representation of a recurrent character on stage, in newspapers and in the literature of the century: the murderer. After the Revolution, which unsettled codes, successive regimes attempted to introduce new ones, but the period also gave in to media coverage of crime and criminality: even if they were not more numerous in this new age than in the Ancien Régime, murderers were increasingly “staged.” Simultaneously with a growing public interest in trivial events and major crime cases, many heroic figures of homicidal characters appeared on the stages of the Romantic period. These characters were fervently played by star actors and sent shivers to the motley audience of Parisian theaters. Impersonating murder on the Parisian stages in the early nineteenth century made up a spectacular climax of performances. Yet, thanks to an acting reform, actors allowed themselves to distance their performance from the caricatured univocal figure of the traitor. Staging murder amounted to representing a heroic gesture of a new kind, however paradoxical and critical. This dissertation looks into the esthetic concerns on the fundamental link between literature and violence, into the specific dramaturgic evolutions of the early nineteenth century as a form of artistic secession, and into the social and ontological concerns of the representation, as well as of the reception, of homicidal heroes

Full textOur work examines the process of the establishment of new ideas of English literature in France in the XIXth century. The essential personality of this study is Amédée Pichot. The main question that arises here is the following: what is the importance of this writer in the development of French literature in an era dominated by other major writers, such as Chateaubriand, Hugo, Lamartine, Stendhal and many others?It is through the study of three parties of his literary career that we want to emphasize what a minor writer as Amédée Pichot can do to improve the French literature. His book, entitled Voyage historique et littéraire en Angleterre et en Écosse, published in 1825, his role as a journalist and director of various literary journals and his great efforts in the field of translation are the principal axes which will reveal to us up to what point it was able to participate in enriching the French literature by new aspects of English literature
Baratin-Lorenzi, Marianne. "Les romans de george sand 1832/1842 : roman et dynamique narrative." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040029.
Full textThis work intends to show the argumentative value of george sand's novels. It is based on the vehemence of the narrative voice which supposes its argumentative vocation. It is also based on the fact that the ideologists of romanticism recognise an ideology of george sand, without relation to the naive and devaluing image generated by our author's novels. Our study concerns the period 1832-1842, when the author was training to write, according to her own testimony. In front of the failure of an analysis based on the narrative dynamics which would define the novel as an apologue, we tried to regard george sand's novels as parables. The parable supposes the transposition of a rule in the fictitious universe of the novel. Our search supposed a preliminary work, covered in the first chapters : identification of george sand's thought, independent of the various influences that were lent to her; analyze - starting from the theoretical works of the author and the classical poetics - of the criteria likely to account for the novel, apart from the only reference to narrative dynamics. We then started the analysis of the novels of 1832 to 1842, namely indiana, valentine, le secretaire intime, andre, leone leoni, simon, mauprat, le compagnon du tour de france, horace. The analysis of george sand's idealism allowed us to specific the place of reality in her works, always absent and existing only in the idealizing mirror which the novel proposes. A simplified reality is thus proposed, whose fantastic dimension makes it possible to indicate at the same time the dissatisfaction of the character and the possibility he has to progress. This progression appears in the descriptions, the iterative narrations, the dialogued scenes and the pictures which mark out george sand's novels. We thus showed a dynamics, distinct from narratives dynamic, which follows the vehement breath of the narrative voice and which is proposed as the initiative quest of the romantic man: permanent search for an obvious and remote truth which it must carry out in the society
Chaumont, Bérangère. ""Noire et blanche" : la fête de nuit dans la littérature romantique (1821-1856)." Thesis, Normandie, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017NORMR036.
Full textAs a writing pattern, night feasts haunt French Romanticism since Nodier’s Smarra ou les Démons de la nuit (1821). The motif appears in poetic, dramatic and narrative works, in major as well as in minor productions. This thesis answers the following question : why is the night the place to write feasts in French Romanticism, between 1821 and 1856 ? In this way, this dissertation reopens the analysis of the Romantic night and shows that this theme provides not once but various poetics, some of them announcing modernity. Certainly, night feasts are part of a Romantic “classical” nocturnal imagination, inherited from ancient traditions. But fantastic, dreamlike and lyrical hues are not the only colors of the Romantic nights. In fact, thanks to the invention of night life in the early 19th century, Romantic works reflect restless Parisian nights, during a period which discovers night leisure activities, forecasting the myth of City of Light and the entertainment’s industry blooming during the Second Empire area. The images of the night feast, which circulate between “panoramic literature” and Romantic literature, reveal the century’s burning passion for sight. These nocturnal festivities transform everyday life into a show. Furthermore, fictions are brimming with archetypal characters inhabiting the Parisian festive nights, themselves often suggestive of the Romantic figure of the author, usually depicted as a melancholic loner. Based on contrasts, between light and darkness, life and death, the night feast is also an existential and creative pattern for Romantic authors who are using the night life and their lights as a way to rise up against the dark night
Betchaku, Akihiko. "Auguste Brizeux et la chanson populaire bretonne dans le milieu littéraire national au temps romantique." Thesis, Brest, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BRES0110.
Full textThis study is an analysis of the relation between the poems of Auguste Brizeux and traditional Breton folksongs. It is inspired by the curious and unconventional poetic structure found in his poems, similar to the forms particular to the traditional song of Lower-Brittany. We suppose that this particularity comes from the adaptation of the poetic system found in Breton song to French poetry. If that is the case, this hypothesis would also lead to a new question: As Brizeux was close to Théodore Hersart de La Villemarqué, author of the Barzaz-Breiz, had there been a real influence between the poetic practice of our poet, Brizeux, and the production of the so-called “Breton folksongs" published in this La Villemarqué's famous book? This compelling question is the source of interest in our comparative study, its motivation and the thread that leads us to an intriguing conclusion

Full textIn Christian allegoric texts the Pilgrim traditionally symbolizes the journey of mankind to heaven. From the second half of the 19th century on, poets, travelers, and vagabonds pursued the quest of an afterlife from within city walls. This dissertation examines the different representations of modern wandering via an in-depth analysis of the theme as encountered in French and Czech literature and arts from the early 19th century to the 1940's. It reveals, in chronological order, the different artistic approaches to modernity. By bringing out the various patterns that emerge from the texts, while taking into account the historical and social contexts in which they were created, this work adds to existing knowledge on the cultural similarities between France and Bohemia. It also examines the different literary genres which originate from mankind’s need to walk and write the world

Full textAround 1830, Romanticism prevails on theatre stages. The new perspective on performance as a whole leads to a new perception of ballet. However, ballet struggles to assert its specificity and in the battle of words that unfolds, the ballerina, rather than the ballet, becomes the main focus onstage. The ballerina cristallizes the duality that is key to the Romantic vision. She thus finds herself at the heart of a campaign to elevate her to the status of legend, which is also a way for ballet to gain recognition. The narrative of ballet, from this point onwards, has to rely on a mythography. What is ultimately at stake is the definition of the Romantic dancing body. The mythologizing process creates a chaste body : the glorious dancing body. However, this metaphorical body is but the antithesis of another one : the earthy dancing body. Finally, it is backstage in the theatre that the dancing body is unveiled at work, frail and in pain, forever the price to pay for enchantment

Full textIn this thesis, firstly we investigate the origins of the Moorish Spanish context by showing how XIXth century society is turned towards the Orient and how Art is permeated by this new world in particular due to the influences of orientalism and romanticism. We discuss Hugo’s oriental iconography through his personal memoirs, notes from his travel journals, taking into account his biography but also by studying figures and movements symbolic of Hugo’s orient as depicted in Moorish Spanish painting and literature. Secondly, we look into the Moorish Spanish world and its recurrent themes. We illustrate how Moorish Spanish culture influenced Hugo’s writings. Lastly, we delve into Hugo’s Spanish soul with all its phantasmagorical and esoteric elements. Every human passion can be found in this Moorish Spanish world which allows Hugo to reveal his true inner character

Full textThe nineteenth century is a witness to the birth of a childhood whose everlasting character faces the one which, out of Christian tradition, was marked out by its own incompletion. This new childhood, whose advent is closely connected to the development of the romantic thought and sensitivity and notably the fundamental self-demand, possesses a mythical dimension in the fact that it is no longer conceived as a transitional state but as an other way of existing. This ontological childhood is called "childhood spirit". The fascination of the childhood memory, the idealisation of the child's innocence of which the romantic man is the guardian, the compassion towards the child's suffering, the apology of the universal analogy brought to light at the level of the correspondences set and the will to attain the poetical knowledge make that the childhood spirit is the cornerstone of the romantic mind. This philosophy originates in the child but has grown thanks to the recognition of a number of analogues within the framework of a religion of humanity and of a backward move to the primordial order
Sabri, Zeinab. "Un Hiver à Majorque : le Romantisme de George Sand." Caen, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993CAEN1125.
Full textGeorge Sand, from all sorts of information, from this huge background that epitomizes all romantic themes, has managed to produce a deeply original work. "Un hiver a Majorque" (winter time in Majorca) is typical of her own genius and it reveals the intensity of her intimate life and her creative drives. This account of a journey also relates her ability to see reality, the outside world and to depict them. Although a dreamer, she nonetheless has a pratical and critical mind. Her "mal du siecle" does not hinder her from seein g reality. Faithful to former childhood oriminiscences, to former social hatred, she cannot dissociate the idea of a republic from that of social regeneration. The salvation of the world seems to rest on her own shoulders, on those of her friends, fellow writers and social reformers of the day, who strived for destroying first then rebuilding towns and eventually re-planning the town. She carried the torch on all fronts, be they religious, political, economic or social. She embodied a romanticism of want wich asserted that mankind, at its utter best, could not simply be happy of the rising of bourgeoisie, if it aimed at becoming a reality. George sand embodies a promethean romanticism in a feminine way

Full textThis study analyses the stages of the presence of the Hungarian literature in France in the 19th century. It doesnt judge its merit but determines its existence. In the introduction, we place it in the double context of the franco-Hungarian relations before the 19th century and the literary ties with other countries. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Hungarian scholars stated that Hungary was "Terra incognita". Following the 1848 events, the situation changed. Hungary has a greater attraction for French people. Peto͏̈fi played a major role in this new situation. This translations, travel accounts, memoirs, relations between French and Hungarian men. The last part of the study is a detailed thematic bibliography, based on literature and the Franco-Hungarian relations. It is not an appendix but a supporting part of the whole work
Cousin, Guillaume. "La Revue de Paris (1829 -1834) : un "panthéon où sont admis tous les cultes"." Thesis, Normandie, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018NORMR104.
Full textThis dissertation proposes the first study of the Revue de Paris since its creation in April 1829 until its sale in May 1834 and aims to define the identity of this literary periodical.The first part of this thesis attempts to replace "The Revue de Paris in its time". First of all, in an approach that belongs to the field of sociology of literature, the author recreates the social fabric constituted by the men who lead the Journal, by those who allow it to exist financially, and finally by those who publish there. This first sociological approach shows the deep diversity of the collaborators: from the beginning, the Revue de Paris is affirmed as a "pantheon where are admitted all the cults". This metaphor, which gives its subtitle to this thesis, is taken from the introductory text that announces the creation of the Album, in November 1829 and gives an indication of the eclecticism that governs the choice of authors whose articles are published. The reading of the Review from a political angle, which constitutes the second chapter of this dissertation, reveals the liberalism of the Review. The Review participates in its own way to the fall of Charles X. The Revue de Paris is located in the center-right. Initially favorable to the new regime, the Review is becoming increasingly critical of Orleanism, and the choice of Pichot to abandon the "Political Review" only confirms the growing distance between the Revue de Paris and the July polity. Finally, this first approach to the identity of the Review analyzes its place in the field of the literary press between 1829 and 1834. At the time of its creation, the Review is considered by its creator as the French version of British Reviews and Magazines. Between 1829 and 1834, and contrary to what affirms the long critical tradition that makes the Revue des deux mondes the main literary review of the early 1830s, the Revue de Paris is the true model of the time. The combined approaches of literary sociology, politics and the history of the press lead the author to give a first definition of the Revue de Paris: it is eclectic, mundane, liberal and is at the top of the "pyramid" of the literary press. During its five years of existence, it was the largest French literary periodical. It is then, after having replaced the Review in its time, to question the very heart of the Review, that is to say the articles it publishes.Making the choice to treat literary creation first, the author analyzes texts from the generic point of view. The literary creation of the Revue deals with the great themes of the literature of 1830, and in this sense the Review is the mirror of its time. Nevertheless, if there is not, strictly speaking, a "Revue de Paris literature", the Review must be considered as a crucible of literary genres. Concerning the short story, it find in the Review of the achievements whose variety rests essentially on the hybridity. Beyond its simple entertaining function, the short story is a success mainly based on its plasticity, which allows it to be both exotic and historical, exotic and fanciful, historical and frantic ... Because it offers authors a great creative freedom, the Revue defines itself as a pantheon where the imagination is concretized in plural narrative forms. On the contrary, dramatic production is dominated by the genre of the proverb. As for poetry, it appears as the weakest literary part. This set is dominated by major and minor authors of Romanticism, so much so that one can consider the Revue de Paris as a romantic review. Nevertheless, the critical part makes it necessary to qualify this analysis: the literary criticism of the Revue de Paris reveals a sometimes violent critique of romanticism. The moral condemnation of literature is becoming increasingly insistent over the months, THE ultimate romantic review proves to be the "pantheon where are admitted all the cults", whether romantic or anti-romantic. In fact, the Review is the mirror of its time

Full textSince 1848, positivism and scienticism have bent the romantic representations of the forest which were so far relatively steady. The forms and resistances to this infiltration due to the progress of science and industrialization , form the theme of a search in three parts, in which the inter-textuality is the vital lead. First of all, the survey of the « litterary matrix », on the lexicographical level, chronological and thematic, of the pictures linked to the forest, starting from the greco-roman archetype, themselves re-used by the classical humanities, survey led before and after Chateaubriand’s life and works. At what point in time can we speak of a « break »? The central part analyses several little-know texts of nine « great ancestors » on three generations in the systemic view of those crossed influences in their written works. All the litterary genres are represented by the pen of Elisée Reclus, Edgar Quinet, Pierre Loti, George Sand, Emile Zola, Jules Verne, Victor Hugo, Edmond Rostand. . The last part questions about the part of the « continuators » of a genre, from an art and a century to another , to remodel the ancient myths and to create new ones: non-litterary writings (critics, exhibitions, articles) paintings and drawings, and three books of the beginning 20th centuryconfirming a possible adieu to the 19th century through new modernities

Full textAt the end of the XIXth century, a large number of literary reviews are born, connected with the decadent and symbolist avant-gardes. The young writers, kept away from the literary establishment, set up small reviews called « petites revues » which publish their works and their thoughts. Our work takes a major interest in this media phenomenon that is the « petite revue » during the symbolist period and we try to understand the meaning of the development of literary criticism in those periodicals. The invention of the « jeune critique » in the « petites revues » is linked with the issue of connections between press and literature at the end of the century. The literary avant-gardes elaborate a closed system of production but also create a new media form that becomes a main institution of literary life. The agressive « jeune critique » is not only a propaganda tool in the service of the diverse schools looking for fame. Analysing the role of the « jeune critique » in the autonomisation of literature, its part in the debate on literary criticism around 1890, and its status in the symbolist system, we try to give a particular lighting to the evolutions and the contradictions of the XIXth century « fin-de-siècle »

Full textFounded in 1831, L'Artiste, which was published up to 1904, set out originally to be the review defending the romantics. The study of the forty-one volumes that were published under the july monarchy and the fragments of its directors correspondence that have since been found, show that this was not the case at all an open forum for all the modern artists, it defended causes as varied as architecture and historical monuments, new sculpture, industrial revival of decorative arts or engraving. Very severe towards romantic excesses and in the name of the truth in art, it fought for the profession and the inspiration of the creator. This led id to extol Leopold Robert or Paul Delaroche whilst at the same time recognizing the hegemony of Ingres and Delacroix. The review, enhanced with plates and illustrations, published the works, particularly on the occasion of annual exhibitions, in parallel to the criticism of Gustave Planche, Victor Schoelcher, Paul Mantz or Theophile Thore. In L'Artiste, a new tone of scientific and impassioned artistic criticism was invented which was to last throughout the century. The numerous fictional texts, signed by Balzac, Dumas or Arsene Houssaye, make up the counterpart to the lithographs by Devéria, Gavarni or Tony Johannot. The texts focusing on the theatre or musical life are contemplated solely from the strict angle of the history of art. This thesis is completed by appended documents from the archives of L'Artiste (Achille Ricourt's correspondence, in particular) and a thematic anthology of the principal texts that appeared during this period in every field

Full textThe main subject of this doctoral thesis consists in the study of romantic landscapes in relation to the experience of the Sublime in nineteenth century French literature. The sublime landscape originates in an ancient and rhetoric tradition of the scene of horror which by the end of the eighteenth century has evolved into the concept of "Dark Sublime" with the preromantic and romantic rediscovery of certain essential literary and pictorial references influenced by a sensualist interpretation (Burke, Diderot) of the classical sublime arising from Boileau's translation of Longinus ' Treatise on the Sublime. Romanticism will use the sentiment of the sublime to reintroduce an organic conception to nature and the thinking subject in the framework of an objective and subjective idealism which establishes object and subject in an analogical relationship: the sublime is the instrument of this paradoxical harmony since it is revealed through a perpetually wrenching experience of the senses

Full textBetween 1815 and 1848, from waterloo to memoires d'outre-tombe, the genre of memoirs has been considerably developping and became very popular. It is observed by all the contemporaneous : at the time when history is becoming a major epistemologic category, memory is strongly linked to it as its main manifestation. The production of memoirs is so numerous that some observers of that time spoke about a + fever ; (or even a + mania ;). Our inventory confirmed their immediate feeling : about four hundred and fifty new memoirs have been published during the thirty- three years we have considered; almost the three quaters of them came out between 1819 and 1834. Our study based on the whole phenomenon but, in the same time, chose a corpus of some thirty memoirs. Memoires d'outre-tombe by chateaubriand are, of course, the best known of these texts; but we have also considered, among others, memoires by fouche, madame de genlis, duchesse d'abrantes, as well as histoire de ma vie by george sand. We studied memoirs as a literary genre, but showing its many moving features: we explored those as theorical links between literary and epistemologic categories. They threw a strong light on relashionships between literature and knowlegde. That's why we dealt with poetical questions (borders of genres, problems of literacy) ; epistemological questions (problems of history writing, value of referenciality); questions of literary history and of history of ideas (influence of memoirs over the evolution of the novel around 1830, historical novel and realism) ; questions of sociocritics (memoirs as a main voice in the social discourse of the 1820's)

Full textAt the end of the 19th century, the character of the girl becomes a social and literary topic, the complexity of which never stops questionning the minds. A crucial point for the character, the question of virginity returns insistently during the ten years of her life. For the girl seems to hide behind the character of the virgin, even melting herself in the latter. The likeness between girl and virgin implies of course the physical purity of the character but goes much further. It encompasses in fact her entire being : her spirit, her soul, her material self. We found it interesting to understand what the word " virginity " meant, a concept in fashion at the time, which turned out to be complex under scrutiny. Where this virginity laid, what were its pretence, what was really at stake? We also strove to know how virginity nurtured on the ancestral link between girl and death -link that the period, fascinated by death, borrowed from Romanticism, and what new meanings, likely to enlighten the destiny of young contemporaries and also of artistic creation, virginity gave to this relationship
