  • La Narrativa De Tom Sharpe: Entre Lafarsa Y La Sátira
    La narrativa de Tom Sharpe: Entre la farsa y la sátira Luis Alberto Lázaro Lafuente Para gran parte de la crítica Tom Sharpe es un famoso autor de divertidas novelas en donde predomina el chiste fácil, el enredo y la farsa, más que los procedimientos retóricos y el talante propios de la sátira canónica. Frecuentemente nos encontramos con opiniones que defmen cualquiera de sus obras como «asombro• sa y disparatada farsa novelesca» (Urioste 34) o «a black comedy that securely established his reputation as a comic writer» (Midgley 7). Asimismo, en los comen• tarios de las contraportadas de sus obras, tomados de resefias literarias de conocidos periódicos británicos, entre los que se encuentranDairy Telegraph, Tribune, Guardian, Listener, Sunday Times, etc., aparecen expresiones tales como «superb farce», «boisterous knockabout farce», «a crackling, spitting, murderously funny farce», «a lusty and delightfully lunatic fantas)'», «ahighly intelligent funny book», «deliciously English comedy». Rara vez tenemos la ocasión de ver el término «sátira»; de vez en cuando oimos alguna voz que le llama «satirical farceUD>(Shrimpton 45) o define sus novelas como «the sharp mixture of comedy and cruelty, sex and satire» (Hewison 1280), pero pocos son los críticos que utilizan esta palabra para referirse a las obras de Tom Sharpe. Cabría entonces preguntarse si novelas como Riotous Assembly, Wilt o Ancestral Vices pueden ocupar un sitio dentro de la tradición satirica de la literatura inglesa, o si por el contrario hay que catalogarlas únicamente como entretenidas farsas novelescas propias de la literatura de humor. Para dar respuesta a esta pregunta, primero hay que intentar, en pocas palabras, delimitar los dominios de la sátira, empresa nada fácil que requiere una gran capacidad de síntesis y algo de audacia.

Some Thoughts on… Far from the Madding Crowd and its Adaptations 1 Some Thoughts on… Far from the Madding Crowd and its Adaptations Quelques réflexions sur… Far from the Madding Crowd et ses adaptations Laurence Estanove Introduction: “Bringing Shepherd Back” 1 In the whole of Hardy’s work, Far from the Madding Crowd is probably, today, the novel that has entailed the most numerous adaptations, or at least adaptations of the most various kinds. The multiplication of those in very recent years may naturally be said to testify to the modernity of Hardy’s writing. But one might also wonder what attracted a variety of artistic practices in that particular novel of Hardy’s, while others, such as Tess, have enjoyed a greater popularity yet generated a more restricted number of adaptations. To this day, four filmmakers as well as one cartoonist and one opera composer have made Hardy’s fourth novel their own.

Dans l’univers de la narration graphique, nous trouvons Gemma Bovery (2014) de Posy Simmonds, actuel- lement le seul roman graphique inspiré du chef-d’œuvre Madame Bovary (1857) de Gustave Flaubert. L’objectif du présent article est d’étudier l’ironie flaubertienne comme source de l’humour de Posy Simmonds dans Gemma Bovery (2014). D’abord, nous contextualiserons notre étude dans le domaine des adaptations, de la bande dessinée et du roman graphique à partir des ouvrages et des auteurs clés. Ensuite, dans une partie méthodologique, nous essayerons de définir brièvement le concept d’ironie ainsi que les différents concepts qui peuvent la déclencher dans un texte littéraire. Finalement, dans l’analyse proposée, nous étudierons la présence de l’ironie flaubertienne de la forme au contenu de ce roman graphique, afin d’observer également son originalité. Mots-clés : Adaptation, roman graphique, Posy Simmonds, Gemma Bovery, Madame Bovary Adaptar la ironía flaubertiana: el ejemplo de Gemma Bovery de Posy Simmonds Resumen Gustave Flaubert rechazó ilustrar sus libros durante toda su vida.

  • Saki / H.H. Munro 1870-1916 Bios
    Saki / H.H. Munro 1870-1916 Bios http://www.litgothic.com/Authors/saki.html Up to now, little has been known about Hector Hugh Munro except that he used the pen name “Saki”; that he wrote a number of witty short stories, two novels, several plays, and a history of Russia; and that he was killed in World War I. His friend Rothay Reynolds published “A Memoir of H. H. Munro” in Saki’s The Toys of Peace (1919), and Munro’s sister Ethel furnished a brief “Biography of Saki” for a posthumous collection of his work entitled The Square Egg and Other Sketches (1924). A. J. Langguth’s Saki is the first full-length biography of the man who, during his brief writing career, published a succession of bright, satirical, and sometimes perfectly crafted short stories that have entertained and amused readers in many countries for well over a half-century. Hector Munro was the third child of Charles Augustus Munro, a British police officer in Burma, and his wife Mary Frances. The children were all born in Burma. Pregnant with her fourth child, Mrs. Munro was brought with the children to live with her husband’s family in England until the child arrived. Frightened by the charge of a runaway cow on a country lane, Mrs. Munro died after a miscarriage. Since the widowed father had to return to Burma, the children — Charles, Ethel, and Hector — were left with their Munro grandmother and her two dominating and mutually antagonistic spinster daughters, Charlotte (“Aunt Tom”) and Augusta. This situation would years later provide incidents, characters, and themes for a number of Hector Munro’s short stories as well as this epitaph for Augusta by Ethel: “A woman of ungovernable temper, of fierce likes and dislikes, imperious, a moral coward, possessing no brains worth speaking of, and a primitive disposition.

  • Male Novel Reading of the 1790S, Gothic Literature, and Northanger
    Male Novel t Reading of the 1790s, :L Gothic Literature, i and Northanger Abbey ALBERT C. SEARS Albert C. Sears is a doctoral candidate in English at Lehigh University. His dissertation investigates the Victorian sensation novel in the literary marketplace. Bookseller records from Timothy Stevens of Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and Thomas Hookham and James Carpenter of London offer new insights into the fiction reading habits of men dur- ing the 1790s.1 Indeed, the Stevens records suggest that Henry Tilney’s emphatic statement in Northanger Abbey (written 1798) that men “‘read nearly as many [novels] as women’” (107) may not be entirely fictional.2 What is more, male patrons of Stevens’s bookshop and library seem to have particularly enjoyed the Gothic as did Tilney, who states: “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. I have read all Mrs. Radcliffe’s works, and most of them with great pleasure. The Mysteries of Udolpho, when I had once begun it, I could not lay down again;—I remember finishing it in two days—my hair standing on end the whole time.” (106) However, while Austen’s depiction of male novel reading may be accurate for Gloucestershire, the Hookham records yield little evi- dence that the majority of men in fashionable London enjoyed novels as much as Tilney. 106 PERSUASIONS No. 21 The Stevens records, which extend from 1780 to 1806, do show that men borrowed and bought more fiction than women during the last decade of the eighteenth century. During the 1790s, the shop had approximately seventy male patrons (includ- ing book clubs) who borrowed and/or purchased fiction.

So when one of them slipped, and the overseer hit him, we said to the Young Comrade: “Go after them, make propaganda among them after work. But don’t give way to pity!” And we asked: “Do you agree to it?” And he agreed to it and hurried away and at once gave way to pity. (Measures 84)2 The Young Comrade’s first misstep – significantly, an acquiescence to pity – figures as a moment of peripeteia, demarcating, in Aristotle’s terms, the end of the play’s involvement. The Agitators’ denunciation of pity (which consti- tutes one pillar of their juridical defense) is upheld in the play’s unraveling, in which the Control Chorus adjudges the killing justified: “We agree to what you have done” (Measures 108). Thus, The Measures Taken, which has been called the “classic tragedy of Communism,” seems to make susceptibility to pity the Young Comrade’s hamartia, reversing his fortunes and leading to his expulsion from the collective (Sokel 133).3 Brecht here employs his customary sly irony, echoing the tragic form while signaling the Lehrstück’s militancy against Aristotle by castigating pity, one of the constituent elements of katharsis as well as its enabling precondition.
