Droll rat, they would shoot you if they knew Your cosmopolitan sympathies. Now you have touched this English hand You will do the same to a German Soon, no doubt, if it be your pleasure To cross the sleeping green between. It seems you inwardly grin as you pass Strong eyes, fine limbs, haughty athletes, Less chanced than you for life, Bonds to the whims of murder, Sprawled in the bowels of the earth, The torn fields of France. What do you see in our eyes At the shrieking iron and flame Hurled through still heavens? What quaver—what heart aghast? Instead, Rosenberg describes and lets his description largely do the work. It is more direct than this, the turning of the intransitive into a transitive verb mirroring the suddenness, and unexpectedness, of A Break of Day action. Does it sense their misgivings, their anxieties? Or is it blithely and blissfully A Break of Day of the conflict raging around it? The speaker of the poem then turns to consider the poppy he picked from the trench, A Break of Day alludes to the idea that red poppies sprang from the blood of dead soldiers. This is what makes Isaac Rosenberg different from Wilfred Owen or Siegfried A Break of Day he is a poet of statement, even understatement. Like Owen, he may have felt that the poetry was in the pity, but he was interested in teasing it out rather than spelling it out. -

Women with Women, Without Men: the Emergence of Lesbian Themed Novels in 1920S and 1930S in London and Paris by Velid Beganovi
Women with Women, without Men: The Emergence of Lesbian Themed Novels in 1920s and 1930s in London and Paris By Velid Beganović Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Professor Erzsébet Barát Second Reader: Professor Jasmina Lukić CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary, 2010 This page intentionally left blank. CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract This thesis is a product of my interest in the pioneering, explicitly lesbian themed novels which started appearing in the late 1920s and early 1930s in London and Paris. By ‘lesbian themed novels’ I mean only those novels which were written by women, who themselves at some points in their lives were attracted to other women. Most of the analysis focuses on the period around the year of 1928, when three lesbian themed novels were published in English: Orlando: A Biography by Virginia Woolf, The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, and Ladies Almanack by Djuna Barnes. The first such explicitly lesbian novel in the French language, which was partially published in 1932, was The Pure and the Impure by Colette. The four novels, all came out of two quite famous smaller communities of London and Paris – the Bloomsbury group and the Left Bank community, respectively. In the thesis I am using the discourse analysis, as defined by Fran Tonkiss1 to try and pinpoint the various factors that influenced the writing, censuring, and printing of these novels. I conduct a closer reading of the novels themselves, the available biographical materials on the lives of the authors, as well as the criticism and studies that appeared after the books have been published. -

COLETTE REVISITADA Suas "Claudine"
Língua c Literatura, v. 16, n. 19, p. 125-145,1991. COLETTE REVISITADA Angela Li Volsi R ES U M O : Um olhar lançado sobre a trajetória singular da vida e obra de Colette (Gabrielle-Sidonie Colette - Saint Sauvetir-en-Puisaye, 1873; Paris, 1954), que resgata um insuspeitado lado estóico, in visível ã primeira vista. A obra de Colette é vista como um verdadeiro caminho iniciático, visando recuperar uma sabedoria ancestral, legado que a autora recebeu de sua mãe, Sido, que a iniciara ã comunhão com a natureza. Eslou relendo Colette, como um dever de casa que me impus nestas férias. E recebo de presente as deliciosas sensações experimentadas há mais de trinta anos, quando pela primeira vez descobri este universo que me prendeu com sua magia até se esgotar a última linha disponível. Passaram-se trinta anos, agora res ta-me a obrigação de saber interrogar o resultado dessa longa decantação. Não é difícil entender por que a magia da palavra de Colette continua in tacta. É que sua palavra tem a ressonância e o peso específico de uma moeda que tem seu lastro em ouro. Para nós, pobres leitores pós-modernos bombardeados pelos apelos dos mass-media e adulados por cantos de sereia de todos os tipos a nos prometerem o paraíso, a palavra de Colette tem o mesmo efeito terapêutico de um bálsamo milagroso. Ela nos traz de volta o sabor esquecido de produtos que andam cada vez mais escassos: autenticidade, bom-seaso, simplicidade, co munhão com a natureza, solidariedade humana. O lastro da palavra de Colette está depositado em cada erro cometido, em cada lição aprendida, em cada dor ex perimentada, em cada dolorosa renúncia. -
The Arc Erotica Collection Cambridge University Library
The ARC erotica collection of Cambridge University Library This short-title catalogue comprises a full inventory of the erotica held by Cambridge University Library in their ‘Arc’ - short for ‘Arcana’, meaning mysteries or secrets - collection as of February 2015. I first became aware of the extent of this collection and some of its treasures in the early 1980s when, together with my friend Peter Mendes, we both visited the library for the purpose of conducting some research for books we were writing. Peter’s interests were limited, by the nature of his project, to English erotica of the 19th century, but I had broader scope and rummaged around in the printed catalogue for entries by the ‘usual suspects’. I quickly found an edition of Restif de la Bretonne’s outstandingly obscene l’Anti-Justine dated 1798. To my certain knowledge, only four copies of this rara avis were in existence, all in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, although rumours of a fifth copy surfaced from time-to-time. I suspected strongly that the Cambridge edition was a later reprint, falsely pre-dated as is often the custom with pornographers, and yet I was sufficiently curious to put in a request for it. To my very great surprise, and that of my companion, the book, when it arrived, turned out to be the legendary fifth copy, in a fantastic mid-19th century binding and decorative box that suggested that one of its previous owners may probably have been Frederick Hankey, the English sadist-bibliophile resident in Paris who so disturbed the Goncourt brothers when they dropped in on him. -

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF William A. Parnell for the Master of Arts in French presented May 5, 1993. Title: Space, Consciousness, and Gender in Colette. APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Rita R. Vistica Eric Swenson Colette's desire, to reveal the different levels of difficulties in relationships, results in the creation of three masterpieces, L e Ble en Herbe, La Chatte, and La Vagabonde. Through her characters in these novels, the author exposes the spatial boundaries set by each 2 couple. Also, she concentrates on the maturation of the protagonists. The woman's function in society transforms as she gains personal power, and she becomes self-reliant. Finally, Colette evades sexual stereotyping by introducing the reader to the issues of gender and androgyny. She helps to dispel the sexual myths around the. idea of normal stereotyping. Themes such as male and female phYSical characteristics and related "socially acceptable" behaviors are addressed. -
Női Identitás, Poétikai Identitás: Francia Írónők a 19−20. Század Fordulóján
Tegyey Gabriella Debreceni Egyetem BTK, Francia Tanszék Női identitás, poétikai identitás: francia írónők a 19−20. század fordulóján A francia feminista irodalomkritikusok (Hélène Cixous, Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray) fő feladatuknak tartják, hogy a női különbözőséget a nyelvben felfedezzék. Választ keresnek arra is, mennyiben alakul ki a nőírók hatására egy új irodalmi kánon, s szükséges-e ennek tükrében irodalmi örökségünk forradalma. Véleményünk szerint a női beszéd sajátosságainak felderítéséhez ama kényes kérdést kell felvetnünk, hogy mit is értünk valójában női(es) íráson, mennyiben határozza meg a nőiség (női identitás) a férfiakétól eltérő női írásmódot (poétikai identitást). francia Belle Époque 1914-ig húzódó, egyaránt naivan ujjongó és mélységesen dekadens világában a női identitás súlyos válságon ment keresztül: a nő nem más Aekkor, mint identitásától megfosztott lény, akit személyes szabadságában korlátoz- nak, s akit csupán úgy tekintenek, mint a „férfi tartozékát”. A nők – és következésképpen az írónők – konfliktusokkal terhes helyzetének oka tehát elsősorban a kor társadalmi- kulturális viszonyaiban keresendő. A tanulmány során arra vagyunk kíváncsiak, mikép- pen íródik be ez az identitásválság magukba a női szövegekbe: a kérdésre Rachilde és Colette egy-egy elbeszélése, az 1884-ben megjelent Monsieur Vénus és az 1910-ben napvilágot látott Kóborélet elemzésével kívánunk választ adni. A nők alsóbbrendű helyzetének megértéséhez vissza kell kanyarodnunk – röviden – az 1789-es nagy francia forradalomig, amelynek ambivalens volta szembeszökő: bár paci- fista és felszabadító szándékok vezérlik, a forradalom mégis arra törekszik, hogy a nőket távol tartsa a politikától, s ezáltal a társadalmi rendben a leigázottak szerepét rója rájuk. A századvégi „ideológusok” a női lélek ingatag voltát hangsúlyozzák, s a nőket labilis, szeszélyes lényeknek tartják. -

We seek studies that engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.

La Maison De Claudine » De Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1922)
Dictée du 3 juin 2019 : Extrait de « La Maison de Claudine » de Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1922) Maison et jardin vivent encore je le sais, mais qu'importe si la magie les a quittés, si le secret est perdu qui ouvrait, - lumière, odeurs, harmonie d'arbres et d'oiseaux, murmure(s) de voix humaines qu'a déjà suspendu(s) la mort, - un monde dont j'ai cessé d'être digne. Il arrivait qu'un livre, ouvert sur le dallage de la terrasse ou sur l'herbe, une corde à sauter serpentant dans une allée, ou un minuscule jardin bordé de cailloux, planté de têtes de fleurs, révélassent autrefois, dans le temps où cette maison et ce jardin abritaient une famille, la présence des enfants, et leurs âges différents. Mais ces signes ne s'accompagnaient presque jamais du cri, du rire enfantin, et le logis, chaud et plein, ressemblait bizarrement à ces maisons qu'une fin de vacances vide, en un moment, de toute leur(s) joie(s). Le silence, le vent contenu du jardin clos, les pages du livre rebroussées sous le pouce invisible d'un sylphe, tout semblait demander : "Où sont les enfants ?" C'est alors que paraissait, sous l'arceau de fer ancien que la glycine versait à gauche, ma mère, ronde et petite en ce temps où l'âge ne l'avait pas encore décharnée. Elle scrutait la verdure massive, levait la tête et jetait par les airs son appel : "Les enfants ! Où sont les enfants ?" Où ? Nulle part. L'appel traversait le jardin, heurtait le grand mur de la remise à foin, et revenait, en écho très faible et comme épuisé : "Hou..
