Impression(s)
2019
The articles presented in this cluster discuss literary and visual impressions from the premise that literary impressionism and printmaking share the trope of impression as “impress” and as “imprints” in a technical and epistemological sense. Most works on Impressionism and literary impressionism dwell on the genealogy and mutual influence of fiction and painting, but few authors tackle the importance of printmaking. The five essays presented here all examine impressions as theme, trope and technique in 19th and 20th-century texts and images. These essays discuss intermedial practices, the mutual influence of artistic practice and textual production, as well as the dual meaning of impressio…

Woodcuts and Some Words: Edward Gordon Craig’s lasting impressions
2019
This article examines Edward Gordon Craig’s analogy between drama and wood engraving, stage and printed page in his autobiographical handbook on wood engraving, Woodcuts and Some Words (1924). Taking as a premise Craig’s interest in the world of print as materialization of his “new theatre”, it explores the semantic shift of the notion of impression from the symbolist realm of suggestion to that of modernist imprint. It finally seeks to determine the significance of engraving in Craig’s career, a medium that was the matrix, the relic and the archive of the images and of the ideal vision he pursued all his life.
Poèmes figurés entre imprimé et manuscrit, lectures d'un livre de prestige à la Renaissance
2023
Inconnu ou presque, demeuré dans la même sphère privée depuis des siècles, entré récemment dans les collections publiques, le manuscrit offert en 1593 à Jean Froissard (8 juin 1536-3 décembre 1595), président du Parlement de Dole (1592-1595), a conservé son aspect extraordinaire. L'éclat de son dédicataire trouve, aujourd'hui encore, un écho dans les matières employées pour sa confection, ainsi que dans son contenu, nourri de grandeur antique. Cette célébration témoigne du rôle important joué par la compagnie de Jésus, maîtres d'oeuvre, au sein de l'élite des villes en Europe au XVIe siècle. Entre autres formes poétiques, elle convoque dans ce livre un exemple inédit de poèmes figurés, lesq…
"The Child in the House of Print"
2020
This article is devoted to the edition of Walter Pater’s “The Child in the House” printed on the private press of C.H.O. Daniel in Oxford in 1894. This edition may appear all the more surprising as it is deprived of illustrations, ornaments and miniation. However, if actual illustrations are missing—a usual practice of Pater’s since the second edition of The Renaissance in 1877—they are nevertheless implied in the very facture of the 68-page booklet printed by the Provost of Worcester College. Both the edition and the literary portrait partake in a specific form of literary impression understood as a process that stamps the brain and remains there, to be aroused anew when one reads or when …
