The Trip of the Horla is a short story by Guy de Maupassant. Henri Rene Albert Guy de Maupassant (5 August 1850 - 6 July 1893) was a popular 19th- century French writer, considered one of the fathers of the modern short story and one of the form s finest exponents. A protege of Flaubert, Maupassant s stories are characterized by their economy of style and eicient, eortless denouements. Many of the stories are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s and several describe the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught in the conflict, emerge changed. He authored some 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and one volume of verse. His first published story Boule de Suif ( Ball of Fat, 1880) is oen considered his masterpiece. He delighted in clever plotting, and served as a model for Somerset Maugham and O. Henry in this respect. His stories about expensive jewellery ( The Necklace, La parure ) are imitated with a twist by Maugham ( Mr Know-All, A String of Beads ) and Henry James ( Paste ). Taking his cue from Balzac, Maupassant wrote comfortably in both the high-Realist and fantastic modes; stories and novels such as L Heritage and Bel-Ami aim to recreate Third Republic France in a realistic way, whereas many of the short stories (notably Le Horla and Qui sait? ) describe apparently supernatural phenomena. The supernatural in Maupassant, however, is oen implicitly a symptom of the protagonists troubled minds; Maupassant was fascinated by the burgeoning discipline of psychiatry, and attended the public lectures of Jean-Martin Charcot between 1885 and 1886. This interest is reflected in his fiction....

    MADNESS, THE SUPERNA TUBAL A1VD THE UNRELIABLE NARRA TOR IN GUYDE MA UPASSA1VT'S LE HORLA AND HENRY JAMES'S THE TURN OF THE SCREiW A Senior Thesis By Janna Smartt 1997-98 University Undergraduate Research Fellow Texas A@M University Group: Humanities Madness, the Supernatural and the Unreliable Narrator in Guy de Maupassant's Le Horla and Henry James's The Turn of the Screw by Janus Smartt Submitted to the Office of Honors Programs and Acadetnic Scholarships Texas AdcM University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for 1997-98 UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWS PROGRAM April 16, 1998 Approved as to style and content by: David McWhirter Department of English Susanna Finnell, Executive Director Honors Programs and Academic Scholarships Fellows Group: Humanities Abstract Madness, the Supernatural, and the Unreliable Narrator Janna S martt (Dr. David McWhirter), Undergraduate Fellow, 1997-98, Texas AdkM University, Department of English In both Guy de Maupassant' s Le Horla and Henry James' s The Turn of the Screw, narrators of questionable reliability claim to encounter other-worldly beings, leaving the reader to wonder whether the apparitions are real or the narrators are insane. This madness/supernatural conundrum recurs because of certain trends within the writers' cultural and literary milieux. From a literary standpoint, both Maupassant and James were working in the fanrastique, a genre which, by definition, indicates that the reader hesitates between natural and supernatural explanations for the story's events. And, from a cultural perspective, both writers were writing in environments where the distinction between spiritualism and psychology was often unclear. Maupassant leaves his reader in hesitation as a way of expressing the cultural ambiguity between madness and the supernatural, whereas James utilizes the blur between madness and the supernatural to explore the "reading effect" that the reader experiences when left in hesitation.

  • Le Horla De Guy De Maupassant, Un Récit « Dédoublé » En Deux Versions
    ROCZNIKI HUMANISTYCZNE Tom LXIII, zeszyt 5 – 2015 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rh.2015.63.5-9 ANNA KACZMAREK * LE JEU DU MÊME ET DE L’AUTRE : LE HORLA DE GUY DE MAUPASSANT, UN RÉCIT « DÉDOUBLÉ » EN DEUX VERSIONS Le sommeil de la raison enfante des monstres Titre d’un tableau célèbre de Goya, 1797 A b s t r a i t. Deux versions du Horla de Guy de Maupassant, considéré comme le chef-d’œuvre du genre, ne cessent d’éveiller des controverses parmi les critiques ; les uns les traitent comme deux versions du même récit dont la seconde est censée « corriger » et compléter la première, tandis que les autres y voient deux histoires indépendantes. L’article soutient la thèse que les deux versions constituent comme deux volets complémentaires du même récit dont le premier est raconté par un homme lucide, quoiqu’enfermé, de son propre gré, dans un asile de fous ; le second volet est l’histoire dramatique et émotionnelle d’une personne en proie à des troubles mentaux de plus en plus forts, provoqués par la peur de l’invisible, l’innommable, l’inconnu. Considéré dans une telle perspective, le texte de Maupassant serait un récit autoscopique, con- stituant son propre reflet ; les lignes narratives divergentes et une fin différente correspondraient aux deux côtés de la personnalité du narrateur : le rationnel et l’irrationnel. Les sources de ce dualisme sont autant la biographie de l’écrivain (qui sombre peu à peu dans la folie) que la fascination particulière de l’époque pour les maladies et les troubles mentaux.

  • Huysmans and Maupassant Following Zola's Model Of
    THE MEDAN MATRIX: HUYSMANS AND MAUPASSANT FOLLOWING ZOLA’S MODEL OF NATURALISM DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Kristen Wolter, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Charles D. Minahen, Adviser Professor Christiane Laeufer ______________________________ Adviser Professor Mihaela Marin Department of French and Italian Copyright by Jennifer Kristen Wolter 2003 ABSTRACT Comparable to a matrix, the Médan group incarnates a system for the production of naturalist literature with Emile Zola serving as the model for a select handful of writers. Nourished by the scientific developments of the nineteenth century, Zola’s theories and successful practice of naturalism drew Joris-Karl Huysmans and Guy de Maupassant, among others, to the movement. Yet, they soon diverged from Zola’s model of naturalism, as did Zola himself at times. The first chapter of this dissertation seeks to reveal the inherent discrepancies within the theory of naturalism that prevent a true fusion of science and art in the novel. Les Soirées de Médan, a collection of stories about the Franco-Prussian War, united the writers in a show of adherence to the naturalist movement. While the work garnered the reputation of a manifesto, the stories belie the deviations from naturalism that were present and growing in Huysmans, Maupassant, and even Zola. Chapter two approaches the Médan group from its foundation in support of an aesthetic ideal to the contradictory display of naturalist and non-naturalist features in Les Soirées de Médan.

Cogan Doctor of Philosophy Department of Romance Languages December 2019 Title: A Mad Certainty: Narrative Instability, Insanity, and the Search for Answers in Late Nineteenth Century French Fiction Writers of every period articulate a sense that the world is changing; in modernity, that constant change is intensified by an accelerating pace and comprehensive upheaval. Our reaction to change (personal, social, or technological) and its concurrent disequilibration defines us. Some adapt to new circumstances and struggle through the uncertainty while others turn instead to delusion or constructed realities that provide the illusion of certainty. In the latter reaction late19th-century French psychologists recognized the possibility of insanity: religious mania, megalomania, spiritualism, and use of hallucinogens were all possible pathologies related to this dynamic.

GUY DE MAUPASSANT Of the French writers of romance of the latter part of the nineteenth century no one made a reputation as quickly as did Guy de Maupassant. Not one has preserved that reputation with more ease, not only during life, but in death. None so completely hides his personality in his glory. In an epoch of the utmost publicity, in which the most insignificant deeds of a celebrated man are spied, recorded, and commented on, the author of "Boule de Suif," of "Pierre et Jean," of "Notre Coeur," found a way of effacing his personality in his work.
