Elizabeth Barrett Browning in Italy

2009

Elizabeth Barrett Browning ran away to Italy after she secretly married Robert Browning, and she spent the rest of her life there. Her letters and Aurora Leigh reveal at the same time her romantic love for the country, the dramatic improvement in her health that ensued, probably linked to the liberation it represented for her, artistically as well as sexually. But they also speak of the difficult position in which she found herself as a published poet cut off from her roots and the literary resources and circles of London and the enduring sorrow of the daughter unforgiven by her father for her run away match. This tension produced the great Italian poems of her maturity but also a support o…

Waterloo in Vanity Fair or the Art of not Representing War

2007

International audience; The narrator of Vanity Fair warns his reader just as he is about to start his description of Waterloo, 'We do not claim to rank among the military novelists'. it is true that none of those involved will ever speak of it. The impression remains, however, that everything has been said about the event. A close reading of the chapters concerned with the events will reveal how the victory heralding British supremacy in the nineteenth century is in fact persistently undermined in the novel. Thackeray's contempt for anything military is well known and the writing strategies used here to attack the institution are as efficient as they are varied. The narrator intervenes dire…

The Intimations of "Aurora Leigh" in Elizabeth Barrett's Love Letters

2008

The last letters in the courtship of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning deal of course with all the practical aspects of what was to be the run away match of the century. But they also reveal feelings, attitudes and modes of writing that will grow and become the trademark of the mature Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry, in particular "Aurora Leigh". One finds in them an interest in ordinary people's lives, a sense of humour, a resistance to masculine authority and an assertion of equality between the genders that will all be at the heart of her great poem.

La correspondance d'Elizabeth Gaskell et son œuvre : engagement et discrétion

2010

Les liens entre la correspondance de Gaskell et son œuvre sont assez lâches. Les lettres indiquent clairement les motivations de l'auteur et éclairent les principes qui guident ses choix narratifs (ainsi que la difficulté de les respecter). Elles parlent aussi clairement de la fatigue de l'écrivain et de ses causes. Mais elles sont beaucoup moins explicites en ce qui concerne l'écriture même. Si nous arrivons à nous faire une idée du processus de composition, les choses deviennent plus difficiles quand il s'agit des choix esthétiques et stylistiques. Nous n'avons en fait que des traces ou des remarques d'ordre général. Quant à l'utilisation des lettres comme d'un laboratoire d'écriture elle…

Création au féminin. Vol I Littérature

2006

Les femmes écrivent-elles autrement? La question toujours controversée du genre de l'écriture est ici abordée à travers le processus même de création et d'élaboration de l'oeuvre littéraire. L'ouverture historique et géographique de ce recueil -- Mme de Graffigny, Virginia Wool, Marlen hausofer ou Nancy Huston, entre autres, y sont représentées -- permet d'éviter les stéréotypes du féminin universel. Des constantes se dégagent cependant, telles le passage de la création par le corps et la non hiérarchisation des activités humaines. Constantes qui, dans leurs déclinaisons multiples, révèlent en fin de compte l'imense richesse de l'écriture ds femmes

Création au féminin. Vol 2: Arts Visuels

2006

Concernées tout particulièrement par leur image, les femmes ont-elles un rapport particulier aux arts plastiques? Dans ce volume consacré aux arts visuels (danse, peinture, cinéma, performance), ce qui frappe tout d'abord, c'est de voir à quel point les créatrices appréhendent le monde par leur corps, leur corps de femme, qu'il s'agisse de la peinture de Monique Frydman ou des photos de Cindy Sherman. mais un autre grand axe -- moins attendu peut-être -- traverse cet art au féminin, qui est celui du plaisir du jeu, comme chez Paula Rego, et ses peintures inspirées de contes, ou chez la cinéaste Agnès Varda. Peut-on y voir la preuve d'un "créer autrement" des femmes? les oeuvres racontent en…
