    f'. tl ;; ~" INTRODUCTION I ~, , ~I;'" '" ! Although Alfred de Musset (I8IO-57) is traditionally anthologized, with Lamartine, Vigny, and Hugo, as one of the major French Ro­ ~.: mantic poets, he really should be considered, with Gautier, Nerval, i~i.. .. £1....: and others, among the movement's second generation. Like many a t ~: youth, he had ambivalent feelings about the ideas and sentiments of ~,j. his elders. On the one hand, his autobiographical novel, The Confes­ f: {' sions of a Child of the Century, is a major model of Romantic con­ t fessional prose; on the other hand, he became identified among his ~~; , i" ~. peers as a major proponent of the revival of neoclassical tragedy in ~, the theater, as well as a sarcastic, even virulent, lampooner of Ro­ I.': ~j mantic stylistic excesses, in his widely read and amusing Letters of ~L ' Dupuis and Cotonet, in which he gave a well-known definition of F)'" Romanticism as "the overuse of adjectives." Musset's primary renown in modern times has been as a drama­ " :1 ,~ tist. When Vietor Hugo's Hernani and Alexandre Dumas pere's An­ 1"::'11 I)'p; tony were produced around f830, they made a considerable stir in "d' ~-.!j.! the theater. But the "Romantic" Musset has remained perhaps the l" only "classic" dramatist of his time. Actually, the best of his plays 11 were not staged during his life: of his most original works, What \" {I Does Marianne Want? alone was performed, in a radically altered ~J and disfigured version, in 185I. Lorenzaccio had to wait until 1896, forty years after the author's death, and was then done in a "regular­ ~, ized" form commissioned by Sarah Bernhardt so she might add the ~., play's hero to her list of transvestite roles - a travesty in both the :f: usual and the etymological senses of the term," ~f ~~ 'See my study Theater ofSolitude: The Drama of Alfred de Musset, Hanover, N.H., ;1 r974, pp.

  • Alfred De Musset (1810-1857)
    Alfred de Musset (1810-1857) 1 Biographie é le 11 décembre 1810 à Paris dans un milieu aisé et cultivé, doué de grandes facilités, le jeune Musset mena une adolescence dissipée de dandy. Il entreprit des études de droit et de médecine, qu’il ne termina pas, et fréquenta, dès 1828, Nle Cénacle romantique chez Hugo et chez Nodier, où il rencontra notamment Vigny, Mérimée et Sainte-Beuve. Précoce, brillant, célébré, il publia son premier recueil de vers, Contes d’Espagne et d’Italie (1829), à l’âge de dix-neuf ans et remporta un succès immédiat. Malgré cette gloire précoce, il connut une infortune relative avec ses pièces de théâtre, telles : la Quittance du diable, qui ne put être représentée, et la Nuit vénitienne (1830), qui fut un échec retentissant. La mort de son père en 1832 l’amena à se consacrer entièrement à la littérature et à en faire son métier. Auteur doué et sûr de son talent, il fut cependant profondément blessé et échaudé par l’échec de la Nuit vénitienne; il décida alors que les pièces qu’il écrirait seraient désormais destinées non pas à la représentation, mais - fait original et presque unique dans la littérature française - exclusivement à la lecture. Parmi les comédies de mœurs romantiques qu’il publia entre 1932 et 1934, À quoi rêvent les jeunes filles, La Coupe et les lèvres et Namouna, furent regroupées sous le titre Un spectacle dans un fauteuil, qui traduisait son choix d’écrire un théâtre destiné à être lu chez soi et non pas représenté. Les Caprices de Marianne (1833), Fantasio (1834) et On ne badine pas avec l’amour (1834) virent le jour sous la forme de livrets.

    L Romanticism and Time EDITED BY SOPHIE LANIEL-MUSITELLI AND CÉLINE SABIRON ANIEL -M Romanticism and Time This brilliantly conceived, exhilarating, and wide-ranging collection of essays is essential reading for all those interested in taking the long view of the historical, literary, and USITELLI philosophical times of British Romanticism. Literary Temporalities Pamela Clemitt, Queen Mary, University of London Romanticism and Time is a remarkable affirmation of border-crossings and international AND EDITED BY SOPHIE LANIEL-MUSITELLI AND CÉLINE SABIRON exchanges in many ways. This major collection of essays represents the work of eminent scholars from France, Germany, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, the United Kingdom, and the S United States, as they in turn represent the Romanticisms that emerged not only from the ABIRON “four nations” of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland but also from Continental Europe and America. With their commitment to diversity, to change, and to exchange, and because of their awareness of the romanticism of periodization itself, the authors in this volume ( produce, as Wordsworth might say, a “timely utterance.” EDS ) Kevis Goodman, University of California, Berkeley This volume considers Romantic poetry as embedded in and reflecting on the march R of time, regarding it not merely as a reaction to the course of events between the late- eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, but also as a form of creative engagement with history in the making. Revising current thinking about periodisation, these essays survey the Romantic canon’s evolution over time and approach Romanticism as a phenomenon unfolding across national borders. As with all Open Book publica� ons, this en� re book is available to read for free on the OMANTICISM publisher’s website.

  • A Survey of Intertwined Crafts in French and Francophone Literatures and Cultures
    Texte et Tissu: A Survey of Intertwined Crafts in French and Francophone Literatures and Cultures By Anna Taylor Senior Honors Thesis Romance Studies, French University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 5 April 2017 Approved: ________________________________ For my family: Erin, who gave me a pattern for living Valerie, who taught me how to embellish, and Jeff, who can iron any wrinkle. 2 Contents Introduction 4 Chapter 1: Exotic Weavers as Symbolic Authors in Graffigny and Sand 9 Chapter 2: Twisting the Thread of Destiny in Nerval and Tremblay 27 Chapter 3: Stitching and Unstitching Learning in Montaigne and Coocoo 41 Chapter 4: Faithful Weavers and Heretical Writers in Porete and Dib 56 Conclusion 77 Bibliography 80 3 Introduction In Western culture, it is difficult to study texts without encountering allusions to textiles. In both French and English, the words text and textile derive from the Latin textus meaning structure, texture, or tissue. This linguistic commonplace is evident in the language of literary criticism, when ineffective writers create plot holes, conscientious writers tie up loose ends, captivating storytellers spin yarns, and unconvincing speechmakers lose the threads of their arguments. Textile idioms also play out in the foundational myths of Western culture, from the looms of crafty goddesses in Greco-Roman epic poetry to the spiritual gifts that weavers contribute in the scriptures of the Abrahamic religions. This project explores prominent intersections between texts and textiles in works of French-speaking authors and artisans from three continents and across six centuries. Beyond the usefulness of weaving metaphors in everyday speech, this study seeks to discern potential rewards and consequences of aligning the intellectual labor of authorship with the physical, economic, and social realities of textile craftsmanship.

'T^HE life of Theophile Gautier is of peculiar interest to men of letters, especially to that large proportion of them who, like Theophile, are " polygraphes" Our ancestors more briefly termed them "hacks" and, since Dr. Johnson, or, at least, since Southey, there has been no hack so distinguislied as Theophile. His Pegasus was early broken into harness, and his biographer, M. Maxime dii Camp, like himself, is constantly regretting this bondage. Perhaps too many laments are uttered over this misfortune ; like other men, Theophile Gautier did what he could, and what it was in him to do. He was a poet, indeed, and we are asked to believe that, had the State aided him with an adequate pension, his place as a poet would have been higher, his poetic work greater in bulk, and nobler in quality. But this may well be doubted. The man of letters in Gautier was stronger than the poet ; had it not viii Preface. .been so, probably lie would have given himself more freely and with a stricter loyalty to the Muse.
