Colette had no access to the sizable earnings of the Claudine books — the copyright belonged to Willy — and until she initiated a stage career in music halls across France, sometimes playing Claudine in sketches from her own novels, earning barely enough to survive and often hungry and unwell.

    COLETTE By Richard Glatzer & Wash Westmoreland Current Revisions by Rebecca Lenkiewicz FINAL SCRIPT PAM KOFFLER [email protected] ELIZABETH KARLSEN [email protected] 1 EXT. BURGUNDIAN COUNTRYSIDE - SUNRISE - 1892 1 The first light is breaking over the fields and hedges of this timeless rural landscape. With the clanking of bells, a herd of cows makes its way to the first milking. 2 INT. COLETTE FAMILY HOME - BEDROOM - EARLY MORNING 2 The room is simple with a few sticks of worn wooden furniture. A young woman is asleep under the covers, with a cat curled up on the bottom of the bed. This is GABRIELLE-SIDONIE COLETTE, or as she will later be known, simply COLETTE. A voice calls from down the corridor - her mother SIDO. SIDO (O.S.) Gabrielle! The girl stirs but her eyes remain stubbornly closed. SIDO (O.S.) (CONT’D) Gabrielle!! Wake up. COLETTE (murmuring) Let me sleep! SIDO Come on, Gabrielle!! Sido is now at the door frame. A handsome country woman, forthright and practical - nobody’s fool. COLETTE What time is it? SIDO It’s 7 o’clock. Willy is coming today. Colette just murmurs. She disappears. After a moment, a head emerges from under the pillow and looks to the empty doorway. We get our first look at the milky skinned, precocious, whip-smart, Colette. 3 EXT. COUNTRY TRAIN STATION - DAY 3 A train belches steam as it slowly moves toward the station. A MAN IN A TOP HAT leans out of the window. 4 EXT. TRAIN CARRIAGE - DAY 4 Dismounting, Willy sees a waiting carriage across the platform.

  • COLETTE, Une Artiste En Liberté (1873-1954) Colette, À Son Époque, Est Jugée Comme Une Femme Scandaleuse
    COLETTE, une artiste en liberté (1873-1954) Colette, à son époque, est jugée comme une femme scandaleuse. Dans les « Aventures de Claudine » son héroïne, Claudine, à laquelle elle prête de nombreux traits, apparaît comme une fille délurée et insolente. Sur scène, Colette s’exhibe nue et fait scandale. Colette Ce n’est pas une agitatrice : elle n’est ni dans la revendication ni dans le militantisme. Ce n’est pas une féministe. Femme amoureuse, elle a vécu des histoires passionnelles avec les hommes comme avec les femmes. Sa maison natale 1 - Les années d’enfance Sidonie Gabrielle Colette est née dans le village de Saint- Sauveur-en-Puisaye dans l’Yonne, aux confins de la Bourgogne qu’elle célébrera dans ses livres comme dans La maison de Claudine (1922) et dans Sido (1930). Elle évoque ce village où Ses parents elle a vécu une enfance heureuse. Colette adore la nature en Bourgogne comme en Provence où elle s’achètera une maison, à Saint-Tropez avant l’invasion des touristes, et en Bretagne, à Saint-Coulomb. Ses parents sont Sidonie Landoy (1835-1912) et Jules Joseph Colette dans son jardin Colette (1829-1905). C’est un second mariage pour son père. Celui-ci est un saint-cyrien qui a perdu une jambe dans le conflit avec les Italiens. Il est percepteur. Colette, dernière enfant de la fratrie a une demi-sœur qu’elle n’apprécie guère et deux demi-frères qu’elle préfère. Sa mère appelée Sido sera l’initiatrice de Colette. Colette écrira un livre intitulé Sido (1930). Colette adolescente, n’est ni romanesque ni révoltée.

Addressing Success: Fame and Narrative Strategies in Colette's La Naissance du jour Abstract Colette's La Naissance du jour (1928) is probably her most renowned work on the complex mother- daughter relations between her mother Sido and herself. Yet, as I demonstrate in this article, the book is just as much about renown itself. Beginning with the theoretical works of Leo Braudy (The Frenzy of Renown), John Rodden (The Politics of Literary Reputation), and a close analysis of La Naissance du jour, I look at the ways in which Colette manipulated her narratives to create her own public images ofherself.

  • Colette: Perfil Humano De Una Escritora a Través De Un Recuerdo: Bertrand De Jouvenel
    ANALES DE F~LOLOGIAFRANCESA, N." 2, 1987. PAGS. 79-86 Colette: Perfil humano de una escritora a través de un recuerdo: Bertrand de Jouvenel POR MARlA TERESA MUNOZ ZIELINS Kl Univer~idrrddr Murt ici Durante una de mis estancias en París, donde me encontraba recabando datos para la elaboración de mi tesis doctoral sobre Colette, tuve la ocasión de poder conocer a Bertrand de Jouvenel. Este hombre, importante politólogo y escritor renombrado en el área de la política francesa actual, tuvo en su día una hermosa y estrecha relación con Colette. Su padre, Henri de Jouvenel, era marido de Colette y esto le llevó a conocer a su madrastra en un momento en el que, a instancias de la primera esposa de Jouvenel, el joven Bertrand que entonces contaba 16 años, fue a llevarle un ramo de flores como señal de un mejor entendimiento entre las dos mujeres. El momento está relatado en un prólogo escrito por Bertrand de Jouvenel y titulado Lu véritk de Chdri, en las ediciones de La Pléiade de las Obras de Colette. En la manera de redactarlo se nota un sentimiento de afecto hacia Colette y está lleno de ternura. La tarde en la que fui a conocer a este hombre que había estado tan cerca de Colette era ya en el mes de septiembre y una fina lluvia hacía que el otoño se sintiera algo más cercano. En la estancia donde fui recibida el ambiente era acogedor. Por unos instantes tuve la sensación como si el espíritu de Colette formara parte del entorno y quisiera tomar parte en la conversación que mi- nutos después iba a tener lugar.

Virginia Woolf AGRAÏMENTS En primer lloc, voldria agrair a la meva tutora del Treball de Recerca la seva abocada dedicació i orientació que m'ha fet sentir tan ben acompanyada durant el procediment. De la mateixa manera, m'agradaria reconèixer l'ajuda i la motivació rebuda per part dels altres membres del professorat i personal docent de l'escola. Per últim, vull agrair el suport de la meva família i amistats que han estat presents durant la realització d'aquest projecte. ABSTRACT This investigation has been based on the fact that many female writers of the nineteenth century chose to use a male pseudonym, and to put in question why they weren’t able to sign their own artworks with their real names. To do so, it was necessary to get to know better the countries where they lived, the literary movements at the time, and the most well-known authors of each country. Having achieved this, their repercussions could be compared through a survey. Additionally, two women from each country were selected, their biographies were written down as well as many different aspects of their lives, such as childhood, love life... Furthermore, their book topics were analyzed, so their main and individual aims could be identified. Key words: ​female writers, pseudonym, survey, biographies, causes ÍNDEX 1.

  • At the Time of His Death in 1937, Maurice Ravel Was the Most Celebrated Contemporary Composer in France
    PURLOINED POETICS: THE GROTESQUE IN THE MUSIC OF MAURICE RAVEL By JESSIE FILLERUP Copyright 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy. ____________________________ Chairperson Committee members: ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ Date defended: 6 April 2009 The Dissertation Committee for Jessie Fillerup certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PURLOINED POETICS: THE GROTESQUE IN THE MUSIC OF MAURICE RAVEL Committee: ____________________________ Chairperson ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ Date approved: 6 April 2009 ii To Michael and Rebecca Mahalo nui loa iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Early on, I wondered if my experience writing a dissertation would resemble the fictional Jack Burden’s, who entered a period of inert semi-consciousness known as “the Great Sleep.” Faced with the prospect of completing his dissertation, Jack slept fourteen or fifteen hours a night; when he finally woke, it was to contemplate this thought: “If I don’t get up I can’t go back to bed.”1 I was fortunate to have better reasons for getting up in the morning. Those reasons begin with my dissertation advisor, Roberta Freund Schwartz, a scholar of Renaissance music and the blues; she shepherded my project with such care and conviction that anyone not looking closely would think I was writing about Robert Johnson, not Ravel. Roberta encouraged me to strive for greater clarity by sloughing off the stylistic and scholarly accretions that cling to graduate students like barnacles. I am grateful for her patience and conscientious attention to my writing, as well as her sustained enthusiasm for this project; her dedication is inspiring.

I engage with theories of the quotidian, queer and affect theory, feminist literary criticism and work on life-writing, and sexuality studies. Each of the writers under investigation here demands a reorientation to their texts from readers, as styles and subject matter shift to challenge patriarchal discourse. I focus on the last two original works of Colette (1873-1954), which experiment with her short forms and observational style. I connect her insistence on material objects to the everyday existence and corporeal realities of an aging writer.
