ABBREVIATIONS In footnotes, works are usually designated by the name of the author, unless more than one ivork by a v/riter is listed, in which case the v/ork is referred to by the significant words of its title. The following is a list of other abbreviations ad• opted throughout the notes, apart from those used specifically in the Bibliography: L. de L. = Leconte de Lisle, P.A. = Poemes antiques, P.B. = Poemes barbares, P.T. = Poemes tra- giques, D.P.i::= Derniers Poemes, Pref. P.A. = Preface des Po• emes antiques (I852), Pref. P. et P. = Preface des Po^mes et Poesies (1855). iv. ACMOVJLEDGEMENTS The helpful suggestions that I received during the course of ray v/ork from Mr. Donald Haig, B.A., Dr. E.J. Kearns and Dr. D.M. raiight are acknov/ledged in appropriate parts of the Bib• liographical Notes. I wish to thank Professor D.J. Mossop for the guiding hand of his supervision throughout my period of study, the staff of the Durham University Library for meeting most of my insistent demands for books, and, last but not least, my Mother and Father, v;ithout whose assistance, finan• cial and otherwise, and encouragement, this work would not have been possible. A.S. V. PREFACE One of the chief reservations to be expressed concerning any work v;hich purports to study a particular aspect of an author's writings is that selection of this particular aspect does not mean that.the critic feels this to be the chief or ne• cessarily the most important feature of the author's work. In Leconte de Lisle, heroism is an important theme xvhich exists side by side v/ith others, such as art and history. It is, therefore, with this idea of perspective in mind, that I have approached the thesis. I have tried to show the importance of Leconte de Lisle's idea of heroism virithin his work as a whole and its intimate links with other themes. Any seeming over• emphasis on the idea of heroism in the interpretation of indi• vidual poems, however, is necessary to a grasp of heroism as a distinct theme. It is with the idea of balance and perspective in mind that several of the chapters have been made fairly general in nature. The first one - on the nature of heroism - is an at• tempt tov/ards understanding what heroism means. Within the scope of this thesis it cannot be exhaustive, but it does try to juxtapose what various writers have thought about heroism and to find what common ground there is between them, so as to establish some guide for the reader in relation to the he• roes of Leconte de Lisle. The second chapter - on the poet's life - gives a bio• graphical background because it was felt best to deal with biographical details in a separate section on their own ra• ther than let them intrude into the main discussion of the poetry. The common Romantic idea of the poet as hero is a sufficient Justification for such a chapter, but not for an ex- vi. planation of every feature of the poetical works by biographi• cal data. The need for perspective prompted Chapter III, on ideas. Leconte de Lisle's views can be understood much better in the context of the history of ideas in the nineteenth century than in isolation. Categorisation caused problems of balance. It v;as diffi• cult to arrange the poems. It was necessary to do some justice to whole poems in their own right - I have made an attempt at literary criticism of poems v;hich have not received much treat• ment before, Khiron, for example, - while at the same time indi• cating various types of heroism. The latter had to be done with• out too much repetition and also characters deserved to be trea• ted in their ovm right as individuals. Any categorisation is bound to be to a certain extent artificial, but I have tried to balance the disparate factors involved. Characters have been placed in sections v:here their dominant interest lies and brief cross-references have sometimes been made. The layout of the thesis was governed by what was thought to make for the greatest ease for the reader. Page references to the poems are given when they are first mentioned and are to the 1927 Lemerre Edition of Leconte de Lisle's poetical works. The bibliographical notes on each chapter explain which books- and articles were of most use in my composition of the parti• cular section of the thesis. Full details of these books and articles and of all other works read or looked at during my course of study, either briefly alluded to in the thesis or which may have had influence on what I have written, are con• tained in the alphabetical bibliography at the end. 1. CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTORY NOTE ON THE NATURE OF HEROISM Bowra sees the basis of heroism, and this is the aspect of heroism which I think most important and which the reader should keeplin his mind, in the self-assertive principle and he asso• ciates it v/ith the life of action and the honour of action. This he later qualifies. Heroism is for the happy few and it does not necessarily mean just physical might - moral qualities have their place too. (1) Taking these as the basic heroic qualities, they can be summed up in the idea of the superior energy of the exceptional man. Bowra, vfho is talking with es• pecial reference to the heroes of ancient times, provides a con• venient beginning to this discussion, because Leconte de Lisle based so many of his heroic poems on the Greek and Norse lit• erary material which Bowra treats and because it seems natural to look for a genuine basis for heroism in the earliest epic literature. Bowra's view is supported by de Vries v/ho sees heroism as superior strength and courage also linked with an idea of honour. (2) (HHonour is a theme of heroism dealt with by Leconte de Lisle in the Poemes barbares.) Auden, writing about the nine• teenth century, conserves the same basis v;hen he defines the hero as the "exceptional individual".(5) After this simple (doubtless over-simplified) definition, one must pass on to variations aind especially to complications \irith relation to the nineteenth-century view. For although de Vries says that the archetype of the hero still exists in the 1. Bowra, pp. 1, 53, 56. 2. de Vries, pp. l80, l86. 3. Auden, p. 83. 2.

    Memory of the World International Register Collections of the 19th century of the Polish Historical and Literary Society / Polish Library in Paris / Adam Mickiewicz Museum (Poland) 2012-26 1.0 Summary (max 200 words) The Polish Library in Paris (Bibliothèque Polonaise de Paris—BPP) was created in 1838 by Polish political émigrés who had found shelter in the French capital. This is where they could carry on various actions aiming at gaining back the independence of the State which had been lost at the end of the 18th century. Led by the wave of ideologies linked to independence and people’s freedom movements arisen in Europe in the early 19th century, it was established as a peaceful form aiming at fighting for freedom and independence. In the 19th century, Europe built places of memory such as libraries and archives in the independence States. At that time, the BPP acted as a means of substitution and continuity of the institutions destroyed by the foreign forces occupying the Polish territories. It came to birth thanks to the efforts carried out by the émigrés and the support of European intellectual elites as well as the authorities of the French State. The latter felt involved in the idea originating the creation of the BPP and they supported the action of a nation whose fight for independence, during the Uprising of 1831, had moved many European nations, aroused their admiration and strengthened their own aspirations for independence. The Polish Library gathered the scattered sources which enabled to document the history of Poland, along with the publications carried out by the emigration.

In the First Part I have endeavored to give a general presentation of the rules and principles of versification practiced by the Class- ical, Romantic, Parnassian and Symbolistic schools of poetry. In the body of examples I have shown to what extent these rules are followed by the five poets whose works have been examined. It would be out of the sphere of this work to discuss the occasional violations of these principles found in the verses examined, as those referring to the question of hemistich or cesura, rime, overflow, mute e, etc.

This essay considers the dearth of critical attention paid to the influence of French melodrama in Southeastern Europe, and in Romania in particular; examines the circulation of Shakespearean productions in this area; and investigates the various processes of de-and re-contextualization involved in the melodramatic adaptation of The Merchant of Venice in France in the 1830s and in its translation/performance in the Romanian Principalities in the 1850s.
