The Influence of French Literature on Europe An Historical Research Reference of Literary Value To Students in Universities, Normal Schools, And Junior Colleges. BY EMELINE M. JENSEN, Ph. D. BOSTON RICHARD G. BADGER THE GORHAM PRESS Copyright, 1919, by Richard G. Badger All Rights Reserved MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Thb Gorham Press, Boston, U. S. A. A Madame Luise Rostand Jarnmes, qui m' inspire cet livre PREFACE The mission of this little work is to bring before the reader the influence that the life and thought of the French people, as shown in their literature, have had upon the world. Not only many of the scientific discoveries, but also some of the most brilliant ideas in literature have been accred- ited to other nations, although they are French in their origin. The purpose of this book is to trace the influence of France from her earliest days to the present time, and to inspire the reader with a real love for the French people. The French people so brilliant, so courageous, so full of animation and vim are a people whom we to-day es- pecially wish to know. The literature helps us to under- stand and to appreciate them. It tells us what they thought, how they lived, how they fought, and what they did. The French esprit and culture come to us through their literary works.

After joining the staff of La Revue des deux mondes shortly after the beginning of this regime, he campaigned against the superficiality in the art of his time. The vehemence of his attacks earned him the nickname of La Revue des deux mondes ' executeur des hautes oeuvres, that is, its public executioner. He has generally been judged a highly conservative critic or even, by his biographer Maurice Regard, an adversary of Romanticism.£1] The focus of this article will be the development of Planche's ideas during the first and most fruitful phase of his writing, 1830 to 1840. During these years, the political stance of La Revue des deux mondes was decidedly antigovernment.

  • The GDS DIFFERENCE
    FALL 2008 Volume 19 THE GDS DIFFERENCE... WWW. gr EE ns B orodaY. org Inside: Our Annual Report HEad’S CornER My Greensboro Day School Difference Our new admission catalog touts “The Greensboro Day School Difference.” Here are some thoughts I have had on what makes us different: The GDS Difference is an opening of school ceremony where students applaud a parade of seniors and kindergartners, and welcome a diverse group of 144 new students and ten new employees, while the Upper School student council president, Patrick Robinson, rings in our 39th year. The GDS Difference means never resting on past successes, and always looking for new and innovative ways to develop our curriculum. As you will read in this issue, we have introduced tablet computers to our Upper School (page 18), and our Lower School continues to strengthen its program of differentiated instruction (page 6). The GDS Difference means that our faculty look outside the classroom to improve their subject knowledge and teaching styles in order to provide a richer and more diverse classroom experience for our students. Ruthie Tutterow just returned from her Brooks Sabbatical (page 12), Tim Martin is heading to Siberia (page 5), and Clarissa Marshall’s global initiatives made national headlines (page 6). The GDS Difference means our students are recognized as international leaders of diversity and global change. Their selection to attend a world-wide summit in India is only the beginning of what will sure to be a program of ideas and change (page 6). The GDS Difference extends beyond our current student body to the achievement of our alumni.

  • Martial Women in the British Theatre: 1789-1804
    MARTIAL WOMEN IN THE BRITISH THEATRE: 1789-1804 SARAH CATHERINE BURDETT PHD UNIVERSITY OF YORK ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE AUGUST 2016 II ABSTRACT In the period of the French Revolution, the armed or martial woman comes to stand in Britain as the representative of extreme political and social disruption. She embodies, in striking form, the revolutionary chaos witnessed across the channel, which threatens to infect British culture. This thesis traces shifting representations of the female warrior, and examines the complex processes by which the threat that she personifies is handled in British tragedies and sentimental comedies, written and performed in London and Dublin between 1789 and 1804. The study presents the British theatre as an arena in which the significance of the arms-bearing woman is constantly re-modelled and re-appropriated to fulfil diverse ideological functions. Used to challenge as well as to enforce established notions of sex and gender difference, she is fashioned also as an allegorical tool, serving both to condemn and to champion political rebellion in England, France and Ireland. Combining close readings of dramatic texts with detailed discussions of production and performance histories, this thesis tells a story of the martial woman’s evolution in British dramas, which emphasises her multifaceted and protean identity, and shows her development not to have followed a stable or linear pattern, but to have been constantly redirected by an expansive range of contextual factors: historical, social, and theatrical.
