Cary: Robinson Books and Periodicals: II 334 Colby Library Quarterly There was a road, a railroad, and a river; Then there were hills behind it, and more trees. Anyone familiar with the town of Gardiner would recognize the salient features of this description-house, hillside, road, railroad, and river. The amazing thing, in view of the fact that this last theme discussed rep!resents a sizable fraction of Robin­ son's output, is that one does not have an overwhelming sense of dismay and bleakness after reading his poetry. To sum up, there are a number of Maine influences in Robin­ son's poetry. His inlagery owes much to the sea, streams, towns, farms, and forests of Maine; the weather also had its impact. Robinson's chief interest was in character, and there were a number of recognizable "Maine" typ'es that he presented: the tall-tale artist, the eccentric individualist, the ne'er-do-well, the strong-willed stoic, and the gossip. His themes were fre­ quently related to Maine character and times. The Protestant Ethic in both its positive and negative aspects played its role. The theme of decay and dissolution was probably most prom­ inent and revealed itself in his characters and in the inlages that pervade much of the poetry. As a final word, however, I repeat my introductory suggestion that Robinson is a poet who transcends the regional and reveals the universal. ROBINSON BOOKS AND PERIODIC'ALS: II By RICHARD CARY nstallment I of this annotated registry (see preceding issue I of CLQ), presents all published materials in the Colby Col­ lege Library written by E,dwin Arlington Robinson and in­ scribed by him. This segment lists all publications written by others and inscribed by EAR. It is a misfortune to latter-day biographers and critics that his overweening respect for the printed word deterred him al­ most totally from marking texts, even those he used in classes at Gardiner High School and Harvard College. Published by Digital Commons @ Colby, 1969 1 Colby Quarterly, Vol. 8, Iss. 6 [1969], Art. 8 Colby Library Quarterly 335 Many additional titles in the Colby collection which EAR read and commented upon in his letters, but which he did not inscribe, are not included here.

  • A Comparative Study of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GUSTAVE FLAUBERT'S MADAME BOVARY AND EMILE ZOLA'S THERESE-RAQUIN A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY ALSYLVIA SMITH DEPARTMENT OF FRENCH ATLANTA, GEORGIA JUNE 1969 w TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE Chapter I. INTRODUCTION 1 II. A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MADAME BOVARY 27 III. A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THERESE-RAQUIN 56 CONCLUSION 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY 86 ii PREFACE The purpose of this study is to analyze Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovarv and Emile Zola's Therese-Raquin and to point out the similari ties and differences between the two works. In order to make a com parison between these two works, a critical analysis will be made of each work, placing emphasis on the theme, style, and character develop ment. Although Madame Bovarv is a Realistic novel while TheVese-Requin is a Naturalistic novel, there still remains a great deal of similarity between the two literary works. Since Flaubert was the leader of the Realist school and Zola was the leader of the Naturalist school, it was felt that a comparative study of a representative work of each au thor would contribute to a better appreciation of these two phases of the nineteenth century novel. This study is divided into three chapters. The first chapter serves as an introduction and includes a biographical sketch of each author and vital details concerning their milieu. Chapter two consists of an analysis of Madame Bovarv. In Chapter three will be presented an analysis of Therese-Raquin.

  • The Warring Brothers: Borges Reads Kafka and Flaubert
    Theory in Action, Vol. 13, No. 4, October (© 2020) DOI:10.3798/tia.1937-0237.2049 The Warring Brothers: Borges Reads Kafka and Flaubert Daniel Balderston1 This article examines the preparatory materials that Borges used to teach courses at the Colegio Libre de Estudios Superiores in Buenos Aires, on Kafka in 1951 and on Flaubert in 1952. Though several well known essays emerged from these courses – “Kafka y sus precursors”, “Flaubert y su destino ejemplar” and “Vindicación de Bouvard et Pécuchet” – the manuscripts reveal far more of Borges's research and thinking about the two authors. Key concepts that he develops in these essays include his unusual (and influential) idea of the “precursor” that is only revealed through reading later works and heterodox ideas about realism and verisimilitude.

  • Jules De Gaultier, Le Bovarysme. La Psychologie Dans L'œuvre De Flaubert
    Jules de Gaultier, Le Bovarysme. La Psychologie dans l’œuvre de Flaubert, Paris, Éditions du Sandre, 2007, 372 p. Servanne Woodward University of Western Ontario Le Bovarysme. La Psychologie dans l’œuvre de Flaubert rend à nouveau disponible le célèbre essai de 1892 de Jules de Gaultier (1858-1942), à l’origine du mot « bovarysme », maintenant passé dans la langue. Au revers de la couverture, le constat : « Les textes les plus célèbres ne sont pas forcément les plus lus. » La réimpression de cette première édition répondrait à un nouvel effort pour recouvrer le personnage flaubertien par une lecture libérée des interprétations héritées de la tradition critique. La réception du roman est reconstituée en même temps que Gaultier articule le concept de bovarysme. Une question secondaire, mais persistante, posée dans les notes qui accompagnent cette réédition, est celle de l’attrait qu’Emma Bovary continue à exercer dans le monde contemporain. www.revue-analyses.org, vol. 4, nº 1, hiver 2009 Outre le texte de Gaultier, Per Buvik a recueilli dans cet ouvrage une série d’études dues à divers spécialistes. La contribution la plus importante est due à Didier Philippot, qui, en plus de moderniser l’orthographe et la ponctuation de Gaultier, accompagne cette étude de notes abondantes dans lesquelles il détaille les sources dont s’est inspiré le philosophe autodidacte, notamment Paul Bourget, Taine et Maupassant, ce dernier étant à l’origine de la conception d’un « Flaubert schopenhauerien » (p. 78). Il est apparu très tôt aux critiques et écrivains contemporains de Flaubert qu’une théorie de la littérature et de la psychologie sous-tendait ce monument littéraire qu’est Madame Bovary.

The study is a comparative analysis of Stendhal's roman- tic interpretation and Flaubert's realistic interpretation of outdated myths. The first purpose of the study is to reveal the linear development of Julien Sorel and Emma Bovary in quest of their respective myths. The second is to reveal technical devices used by the authors that lead to diverse interpretations of the myths. The sources of data used in the study are Le Rouge et le noir and Madame Bovary and secondary materials concerning the two novels. The study is divided into five chapters including an introduction, two chapters that develop Julien's and Emma's respective myths, a chapter concerning technical devices used in the novels and a conclusion. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

A prosperous region near to Paris, Rouen has been one of the key French literary centres since the Middle Ages. Noblemen and the middle classes from the surrounding areas alternated their holidays between the capital and the province, bringing along the latest trends and European fashions.

This document illustrates an area of Rouen of around 20 meters long by 1 metre wide in a technical and detailed manner (architecture, graphics). His work needed more than 16,000 sheets kept in a wooden box which was 11 centimetres thick. Sent to the city's aldermen, this true 16th Century masterpiece is currently a unique example in Europe. Whilst this document is technical, above all, its original nature is a fine example kept within the Rouen city archives. Le Livre des Fontaines has also been used as staging for the Gros Horloge, a symbol of the city, which was connected to the city hotel where the aldermen stayed during construction.

    ‘Geocritiquing Flaubert’s Scaping of Yonville in Madame Bovary’ (2235 words) French Studies Bulletin (2017) Page 1 of 4 Dr Daniel A. Finch-Race (University of Southampton) French Section, Department of Modern Languages, University of Southampton, SO17 1BF [email protected] On 4 September 1852, thirty-year-old Gustave Flaubert wrote to novelist and poet Louise Colet with an update about the manuscript of Madame Bovary: ‘j’ai fait huit pages de ma 2e partie: la description topographique d’un village’.1 The specified portrayal of Yonville- L’Abbaye, which occupies fifteen paragraphs at the beginning of the first chapter of the second part of the novel,2 is rich in environmental details that provide an insight into the geographical and sociocultural identity of the fictional town. On 6 April 1853, Flaubert wrote to Colet that ‘il faut faire des tableaux, montrer la nature telle qu’elle est’.3 This insistence on the importance of realistically representing nature amplifies the significance of Flaubert’s scaping of the locale (i.e. his crafting of the scene). The evocation of the northern surroundings of Yonville, which encompasses plentiful details of the environmental conditions framing the dealings of the small-scale populace, is ripe for analysis based on a theoretical framework that emblematizes the spatial turn4 of recent decades – geocriticism. Bertrand Westphal offers a definition of geocritical precepts: ‘la géocritique [entreprend] de sonder les espaces humains que les arts mimétiques agencent par et dans le texte, par et dans l’image, ainsi que les interactions culturelles qui se nouent sous leur patronage’.5 Flaubert’s evocation of factors contributing to a sense of place6 indicates his uncommon awareness of environmental dynamics in the region that encompassed his growth as a Norman novelist.
