  • PDF the Migration of Literary Ideas: the Problem of Romanian Symbolism
    The Migration of Literary Ideas: The Problem of Romanian Symbolism Cosmina Andreea Roșu ABSTRACT: The migration of symbolists’ ideas in Romanian literary field during the 1900’s occurs mostly due to poets. One of the symbolist poets influenced by the French literature (the core of the Symbolism) and its representatives is Dimitrie Anghel. He manages symbols throughout his entire writings, both in poetry and in prose, as a masterpiece. His vivid imagination and fantasy reinterpret symbols from a specific Romanian point of view. His approach of symbolist ideas emerges from his translations from the French authors but also from his original writings, since he creates a new attempt to penetrate another sequence of the consciousness. Dimitrie Anghel learns the new poetics during his years long staying in France. KEY WORDS: writing, ideas, prose poem, symbol, fantasy. A t the beginning of the twentieth century the Romanian literature was dominated by Eminescu and his epigones, and there were visible effects of Al. Macedonski’s efforts to impose a new poetry when Dimitrie Anghel left to Paris. Nicolae Iorga was trying to initiate a new nationalist movement, and D. Anghel was blamed for leaving and detaching himself from what was happening“ in the” country. But “he fought this idea in his texts making ironical remarks about those“The Landwho were” eagerly going away from native land ( Youth – „Tinereță“, Looking at a Terrestrial Sphere” – „Privind o sferă terestră“, a literary – „Pământul“). Babel tower He settled down for several years in Paris, which he called 140 .

  • FRENCH LITERATURE – 19Th Century Buckner B Trawick, Ph.D
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE FRENCH LITERATURE – 19th Century Buckner B Trawick, Ph.D. PART I : Early 19th Century Literature -The Romantic Age1800-1842 OVERVIEW Historical Background.* Many exciting political events which helped determine national thought and literature took place in France in the first half of the nineteenth century. As has been mentioned, Napoleon Bonaparte was made consul in 1799 and emperor in 1804. It soon became clear that he was not merely continuing a revolution which had once aimed at freedom from tyranny and oppression, but that he was waging an aggres-sive war of conquest. His fortunes continued to rise till his unsuccessful invasion of Russia in 1812. He met disaster again at the Battle of Leipzig (1813), was exiled to Elba (1814), but escaped (March, 1815)—only to lose his final battle at Waterloo (June, 1815). He was exiled again - this time to the island of St. Helena, where he died in 1821. The Bourbons were restored to the throne in the person of Louis XVIII, who ruled from 1815 till 1824. He was succeeded by Charles X, whose despotic methods led to another revolution (July, 1830). France was proclaimed a constitutional monarchy, andLouis Philippe was called to the throne. Another revolution (1848) overthrew this monarchy, and the Second Republic was proclaimed.Louis Napoleon, a nephew of Napoleon I, served as president from 1848 till 1851. Then by a coup d‟etat he establish himself as dictator, declared France an empire again, and was crowned EmperorNapoleon III in December, 1851. The political unrest is, of course, reflected in the temper of the times.Both the failure of the French Revolution to establish and maintaina just and democratic government and the defeat of Napoleon I were inevitably followed byperiods of disillusionmentamong many groups.

  • Robert Marteau and the French Blank Alexandrine Thomas Pavel University of Chicago
    Robert Marteau and the French Blank Alexandrine Thomas Pavel University of Chicago abstract: Thanks to the inspiringThree Thousand Years of Hebrews Versification: Essays in Comparative Prosody by Benjamin Harshav (Yale University Press, 2014) and in particular its first chapter, “Basic Aspects of Meter and Rhythm,” it is possible to take a fresh look at the history of French verse and its elusive relations between meter, rhythm, and poetic breath. In this essay I will examine the features of the rhymed alexandrine (the classical type of French verse), the various attempts to go beyond its limits, and the recent creation of a blank alexandrine, which blends rhythmic balance with ample phrasing and syntactic scope. he feature of french that has exercised the strongest influence on classical verse is the fixed stress on a word’s last voiced vowel. In English, in German, and in Russian, stress can fall on the first, the middle, or the last syllable of a word—for example, mother, Tcontiguous, assign in English (bold type indicates the stressed syllable). In French, by contrast, the stress always falls on the last syllable of a word when its vowel is voiced (garçon, brevet), this last syllable being unstressed only when its vowel is silent (repère, aigle). Although present-day pronunciation tends to elide silent vowels (voyelles muettes), they were audible in classical French versification, which defined the verse by the number of syllables it contained, the silent ones included. Thus, the alexandrine, which was the most frequently used type

    Out of the Néant into the Everyday: A Rediscovery of Mallarmé’s Poetics Séverine C. Martin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Science COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Séverine C. Martin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Out of the Néant into the Everyday: A Rediscovery of Mallarmé’s Poetics Séverine C. Martin This dissertation, focusing on the Vers de circonstance, takes issue with traditional views on Stéphane Mallarmé’s aesthetics and his positioning on the relation of art to society. Whereas Mallarmé has often been branded as an ivory-tower poet, invested solely in abstract ideals and removed from the masses, my research demonstrates his interest in concrete essences and the small events of the everyday. As such, the Vers de circonstance offer an exemplary entry point to understanding these poetic preoccupations as the poems of this collection are both characterized by their materiality and their celebration of ordinary festivities. Indeed, most of the poems either accompany or are directly written on objects that were offered as gifts on such occasions as birthdays, anniversaries or seasonal holidays. The omnipresence of objects and dates that can be referred back to real events displays Mallarmé’s on-going questioning on the relation of art to reality. As I show, some of these interrogations rejoin the aesthetic preoccupations of the major artistic currents of the time, such as Impressionism in France and the Decorative Arts in England. These movements were defining new norms for the representation of reality in reaction to the changes of nineteenth century society.
