  • 67-82 3MIYAZAKI 6.Indd
    Aloysius Bertrand, admirateur de Victor Hugo ? – Essai sur la relation entre Gaspard de la Nuit et le romantisme des années 1820 – Akane MIYAZAKI En novembre 1842, un petit recueil de poèmes en prose de Louis Bertrand, dit Aloysius Bertrand, paraît sous le titre Gaspard de la Nuit. Fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot(1). L’auteur était mort l’année précédente et ses manuscrits ont été réunis par David d’Angers, Victor Pavie et Sainte-Beuve. À cette première édition, Sainte-Beuve a consacré une « Notice » détaillée(2). En retraçant la vie « d’un orfèvre ou d’un bijoutier de Renaissance(3) », il fait l’éloge de ces « petites ballades en prose, dont le couplet ou le verset exact simulait assez bien la cadence d’un rythme(4). » Mais en même temps, il émet un avis singulier à propos de la mort du poète : « Si Bertrand fût mort en 1830, vers le temps où il complétait les essais qu’on publie aujourd’hui pour la première fois, son cercueil aurait trouvé le groupe des amis encore réunis, et sa mémoire n’aurait pas manqué de cortège(5). » Bertrand aurait-il dû mourir plus tôt ? Certes, son recueil pouvait sembler anachronique : il avait fallu plus de dix ans pour en achever le manuscrit entre 1826 et 1836, resté ensuite presque cinq ans chez l’imprimeur de 1836 à 1841. Même en 1842, la publication de ce recueil n’a pas connu un brillant succès. Pourtant, à partir des années 1860, Bertrand a commencé à être exhumé comme poète moderne : Stéphane Mallarmé a dit de lui qu’il était « un de nos frères » et qu’« un anachronisme a[vait] causé son oubli »(6).

  • O Poema Em Prosa No Brasil: Ângulos De Experimentação
    O poema em prosa no Brasil: ângulos de experimentação Jefferson Agostini Mello RESUMO: Muitos dos poemas em prosa de Cruz e Sousa e de Raul Pompeia consti- tuem uma metáfora da própria escrita do poema em prosa e da sua característica de work in progress. Ainda, em sua ambivalência, alguns podem remeter igualmente ao aspecto provisório da sociedade brasileira, sempre em transformação e pronta para se reinventar, pois, em boa medida, dependente dos rumos do capital internacional. Mas, ao dialogarem com esse contexto histórico, também por conta de seus traços formais, alguns poemas em prosa desses autores também fazem, indiretamente, a crítica do que as elites desejavam permanente e acabado: a Europa nos trópicos. Este texto explora as potencialidades críticas do poema em prosa de Cruz e Sousa e Raul Pompeia a partir de aspectos como inacabamento, deformidade e monstruosidade. PALAVras-chAVE: Poema em prosa, Simbolismo no Brasil, Cruz e Sousa, Raul Pompeia. ABSTRACT: Many of Cruz e Sousa and Raul Pompeia’s prose poems may be read as a metaphor for the prose poem’s écriture and its work-in-progress style. Also, in their ambi- valence, they may represent the provisional status of the Brazilian society, ever-changing and ready to reinvent itself, in part because of its dependence of international capital. Nevertheless, as these prose poems implicitly mention the historical context, mostly due to its formal aspects, they criticize what the Brazilian elites of the late 19th century had always wished for, i.e., Europe in the tropics. This essay explores the critical potentiality of the prose poem in Cruz e Sousa and Raul Pompeia through stylistic aspects, such as incompleteness, deformity and monstrosity.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH DISABLED AESTHETICS IN THE PROSE POETRY OF CHARLES BAUDELAIRE AND LU XUN ZHE GENG SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in English and Comparative Literature with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Janet Lyon Associate Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Lisa Sternlieb Associate Professor of English Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes Charles Baudelaire's collection of prose poems, The Spleen of Paris (1869) and Lu Xun's collection of prose poems, Wild Grass (1927) in a pendant, or counterpart relationship while incorporating disability theory into the study. The pendant, defined as “two objects d’art approximately alike, destined to appear together as a corresponding relation” envisions a model of reading both works in light of the other. The Spleen of Paris and Wild Grass were the considered among the first collections of prose poetry in their respective countries (France and China). When read together, these two texts work together to outline an aesthetic that overturns conventional poetic ideals; they celebrate the fragmented and the marginalized through their unconventional form and contents. In the preface to The Spleen of Paris, Baudelaire invites the reader to fragment and reorder the sequential fabric of his work. I take up this invitation and conjoin poems from both collections to create new ways of understanding these textual relationships. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................. iii Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 1 Chapter 1 Dual Prefaces of The Spleen of Paris and Wild Grass ...........................................

  • VI a Subjectivity of Things: Le Spleen De Paris
    VI A Subjectivity of Things: Le Spleen de Paris Depuis longtemps déjà [Victor Hugo] avait montré, non pas seulement dans ses livres, mais aussi dans la parure de son existence personnelle, un grand goût pour les monuments du passé, pour les meubles pittoresques, les porcelaines, les gravures, et pour tout le mystérieux et brillant décor de la vie ancienne. Le critique dont l’œil négligerait ce détail, ne serait pas un vrai critique ; car non-seulement ce goût du beau et même du bizarre, exprimé par la plastique, confirme le caractère littéraire de Victor Hugo ; non-seulement il confirmait sa doctrine littéraire révolutionnaire, ou plutôt rénovatrice, mais encore il apparaissait comme complément indispensable d’un caractère poétique universel. Que Pascal, enflammé par l’ascétisme, s’obstine désormais à vivre entre quatre murs nus avec des chaises de paille ; qu’un curé de Saint-Roch (je ne me rappelle plus lequel) envoie, au grand scandale des prélats amoureux du comfort, tout son mobilier à l’hôtel des ventes, c’est bien, c’est beau et grand. Mais si je vois un homme de lettres, non opprimé par la misère, négliger ce qui fait la joie des yeux et l’amusement de l’imagination, je suis tenté de croire que c’est un homme de lettres fort incomplet, pour ne pas dire pis. – Baudelaire, “Victor Hugo” (1861) In the sentences of the significant prose poem “Les Foules” there speaks, with other words, the fetish itself with which Baudelaire’s sensitive nature resonated so powerfully; that empathy with inorganic things which was one of his sources of inspiration.

  • The Connotation of Stormy Weather in Baudelaire's Prose Works
    四天王寺国際仏教大学紀要 第45号(2008年 3 月) The connotation of stormy weather in Baudelaire’s prose works ─Le Spleen de Paris and La Fanfarlo ─ Fumikazu TOKUNAGA (平成19年 9 月19日受理 最終原稿平成19年12月 3 日受理) Key Words:prose poetry, novella, narrative situation, bad weather, sensuality Introduction As far as we read Baudelaire’s poetical works written in prose, namely, Le Spleen de Paris composed of fifty poems in prose, it is quite remarkable that there are few pieces in which rainy or stormy scenes can be seen. This is a very clear and significant difference in comparison with Baudelaire’s principal poetical works written in verse, Les Fleurs du Mal. In fact, among 133 poems (including six condemned pieces in the 1857 edition)of Les Fleurs du Mal in 1861, we are able to notice that the terms which represent bad weather such as“rain”or“storm”are used much more frequently than in Le Spleen de Paris. As a matter of course, most examples representing bad weather in Les Fleurs du Mal should be analyzed in connection with the versification(rhyme and rhythm)or the rhetoric like allegory or metaphor. However, the fact that, in Le Spleen de Paris, there are few pieces in which the term“storm”and scenes of stormy weather can be easily found should be taken into account. Did Baudelaire accidentally neither describe stormy scenes nor put the term“storm”itself? On the contrary, do the situation of stormy weather and the term“storm”contain a very important connotative meaning? Thus, the purpose of this article consists in elucidating the significance of weather systems as the narrative situation in Le Spleen de Paris 1 ).

  • Poet-Translators in Nineteenth Century French Literature: Nerval, Baudelaire, Mallarmé” Dir
    POET-TRANSLATORS IN NINETEENTH CENTURY FRENCH LITERATURE: NERVAL, BAUDELAIRE, MALLARMÉ by Jena Whitaker A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland April 2018 Ó 2018 Jena Whitaker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The ‘poet-translator is a listener whose ears are transformed through translation. The ear not only relates to the sensorial, but also to the cultural and historical. This dissertation argues that the ‘poet-translator,’ whose ears encounter a foreign tongue discovers three new rhythms: a new linguistic rhythm, a new cultural rhythm, and a new experiential rhythm. The discovery of these different rhythms has a pronounced impact on the poet-translator’s poetics. In this case, poetics does not refer to the work of art, but instead to an activity. It therefore concerns the reader’s will to listen to what a text does and to understand how it works. Although the notion of the ‘poet-translator’ pertains to a wide number of writers, time periods, and fields of study, this dissertation focuses on three nineteenth-century ‘poet-translators’ who each partly as a result of their contact with German romanticism formed an innovative and fresh account of linguistic, cultural, and poetic rhythm: Gérard de Nerval (1808-1855), Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867), and Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898). Each of these ‘poet-translators acted as cultural mediators, contributing to the development of new literary genres and new forms of critique that came to have significant effects on Western Literature. A study of Nerval, Baudelaire and Mallarmé as ‘poet-translators’ is historically pertinent for at least four reasons.
