Number 86 – Autumn 2013) (Number 86 – Autumn 2013) PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The end of another year is fast approaching but that does not mean that your Association closes down its work. We continue to discuss and plan events and activities that will unite this great Racine family. In September we had a very successful and enjoyable reunion in Saint Donat de Montcalm, a splendid location in the Laurentian Mountains. Under the leadership of Diane Racine and her husband, Claude Dupuis, the Racine family enjoyed delicious food, hilarious entertainment, boating, a beautiful Mass with terrific choir and the pleasure of being together. It doesn’t get any better than that! We invite you to mark your calendar as we look forward to next year’s reunion in the Vallee du Richelieu in Beloeil. Jean-Louis Racine has taken the responsibility for this reunion to be held September 13-14, 2014. Again, I thank our Board members for making this a successful year and for giving of their time and talent. I especially thank once again, Diane and Claude, for our outstanding reunion; Jean- Louis for undertaking the task of organizing next year’s reunion and preserving our archives; Jacques for maintaining and continuously updating our membership list; Pierre, our treasurer, for keeping us solvent and providing our financial statements; and Gilles Dupont, our secretary, for keeping me organized. Denis Racine, our newsletter editor and genealogist, deserves our Association’s gratitude for his work and research on our behalf. Of course, we could not function without all our other Board members who are so diligent in attending meetings and providing input for the future of our Association. We thank you for your willingness to work for our success. During the recent general assembly we honored Jean-Paul Racine for his many years of service to the Association. Jean-Paul served as the Association’s archivist for several years, served on the Board, assisted with the organization of many reunions and is our “photographer- extraordinaire.” Thank you Jean-Paul from all your friends and family. At our Board meeting in September, the Board discussed a couple of concerns regarding membership. One of them concerns the newsletter. Due to declining membership, we are unable to sustain the publication of three newsletters a year. We will be reducing to two newsletters per year. Also, there will be a minor increase in our membership dues for the 2014-15 year. It is the first time in our 25 year history that we are increasing the dues. Once again, my sincere thanks for your continued support and my best wishes for a happy and healthy 2014. See you at our annual sugar maple party on Saturday, April 5, 2014. Céline Racine Paquette President ______________________________________________________________________________ OUR NEXT REUNION BELOEIL, 13-14 SEPTEMBER 2014 PORTRAIT OF THE RICHELIEU VALLEY: BELOEIL The Richelieu Valley, which is part of the Québec region known as Montérégie, goes from Lake Champlain north to Sorel-Tracy, where the Richelieu River empties into the St Lawrence River. The shores of the Richelieu contain many picturesque villages and towns. Several of these places, such as Chambly, Beloeil, Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, have important historical significance. First the French, then the British, and even the Patriotes (French-Canadian Patriots) have figured in the area’s rich history. The Richelieu waterway, some 265 km long, has by itself an ample historical, cultural and genealogical meaning for Canada. The City of Beloeil, where our next reunion will be held, has a population of 21,000. Mont-Saint- Hilaire, population 17,500, is across the river from Beloeil. And next to Beloeil lies St-Hilaire Mountain, the tallest, at 415 metres, of the mountains in the Montérégie region. As part of the reunion, we will visit the “Maison Nationale des Patriotes” (National Home of the Patriots) at Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu. This building, built in 1809, has been designated as a national historic site. The interpretation center there depicts the dramatic events of the Rebellion of 1837-1838 and its heroes. We shall also be visiting the parish church nearby. We invite you to attend our 22nd Reunion of the Racines in this beautiful region. Jean-Louis, President of the Organizing Committee, will be sending out all of the details in the Spring/Summer 2014 edition of L’Enraciné. WE WELCOME YOU IN LARGE NUMBERS SUCCESS OF OUR 26TH ANNUAL REUNION AT SAINT-DONAT More than 75 people participated in this year’s reunion at Saint Donat in this magnificent and picturesque region of the country. In spite of the overcast weather, everyone enjoyed meeting old friends once again. On Friday afternoon, representatives of the local municipality held a reception for us at City Hall. On Saturday, we had an excellent boat tour of Lake Archambeault, viewing many of the fabulous lakefront houses of the rich and famous as well as marvelling at the surrounding mountains resplendent in their fall colours. Our Annual Assembly was held in the late afternoon. Several important decisions were taken by the membership. And Saturday evening, we were treated to an entertaining dinner and show. On Sunday morning we gathered at the parish church for a mass celebrated by Father Albert Lemieux. After, we had a banquet at the Manoir des Laurentides. Ex-Minister of State for Education for Québec and ex-Minister of National Defence for Canada, Marcel Masse and his wife Cécile, honored us with their presence Thank you to Diane Racine and Claude Dupuis for this great autumn weekend. OUR ANNUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY Many important decisions were taken at our Annual General Assembly held at Saint-Donat on 21 September 2013. Our financial situation is such that we cannot continue to publish our newsletter L’Enraciné three times per year; it was therefore decided to publish only twice per year, in December and in June. In addition, it was decided to increase our membership fees by $5 per individual and $10 per couple beginning in October 2014. And even further, it was decided to solicit our members to receive L’Enraciné by e-mail instead of our having to mail it to them. Also regarding L’Enraciné, it was decided to publish only a few of the many death announcements that we receive in the newsletter; the remainder would be published in full on our website. After a briefing by Denis Racine on his endeavours to find more information on the ancestors of Étienne Racine, the meeting approved $500 over the next several years for Denis to explore notarial records in France. During the period 1647-1648, Étienne had returned to France to deal with his parents’ estate and he may have signed some notarial documents All five of the members of the Administrative Council whose terms had expired were re-elected for a three year term. These are: Jacques H. Racine, Pierre Racine (Salaberry-de-Valleyfield), Gérard Racine, Céline Racine-Paquette and Anne-Sophie Guimond-Racine After an in-camera session, the new Administrative Council returned to announce the following slate of officers for the next year: President: Céline Racine-Paquette 1st Vice-President: Diane Racine 2nd Vice-President: Jean-Louis Racine Secretary: Gilles Dupont Treasurer: Pierre Racine (Sainte-Anne de Beaupré) Diane Racine, President of our 26th Reunion RACINE FAMILIES’ ASSOCIATION INC.

VolumeVolume II 1 Anglo-SaxonMedievalist Culture Enlightenment: and the Modern Imagination Britain’sFrom pre-Conquest Charles past Perrault and its culture to continue Jean-Jacques to fascinate modern Rousseau writers and artists. From Henry Sweet’s Anglo-Saxon Reader to Seamus Heaney’s Beowulf, and from high modernism to the musclebound heroes of comic book and Hollywood, Anglo-Saxon England has been a powerful and often unexpected source of inspiration, antagonism, and reflection. The essays here engage with the ways in which the Anglo-Saxons and their literature have been received, confronted, and re-envisioned in the modern imagination. They offer fresh insights on established figures such as W.H. Auden, J.R.R. Tolkien, and David Jones, and on contemporary writers such as Geoffrey Hill, Peter Reading, P.D. James, and Seamus Heaney. They explore the interaction between text, image, and landscape in medieval and modern books, the recasting of mythic figures such as Wayland Smith, and the metamorphosis of Beo- wulf into Grendel — as a novel and as grand opera.

  • The Enlightenment of Jean-Baptiste-Louis Gresset, Léger-Marie Deschamps, and Simon-Nicolas-Henri Linguet
    ‘TOUCHSTONES OF TRUTH’: THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF JEAN-BAPTISTE-LOUIS GRESSET, LÉGER-MARIE DESCHAMPS, AND SIMON-NICOLAS-HENRI LINGUET DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mircea Alexandru Platon, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Dr. Alice Conklin, Adviser Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle Copyright Mircea Alexandru Platon 2012 ABSTRACT My dissertation, “ ‘Touchstones of Truth’: The Enlightenment of J.-B.-L. Gresset, L.-M. Deschamps, and S.-N.-H. Linguet,” focuses on three key but little studied opponents of the philosophes. I argue that the writer Jean-Baptiste-Louis Gresset (1709- 1777), the philosopher Léger-Marie Deschamps (1716-1774), and the lawyer and political theorist Simon-Nicolas-Henri Linguet (1736-1794) opposed the philosophes in the name of a set of universally valid principles against what they took to be the philosophes' superficial, self-serving, and haphazard politicization of language, philosophy and the social sciences. These three intellectuals warned that such politicization fostered economic, political, and intellectual inequality as well as cultural alienation, thereby undermining the Enlightenment’s own vision of a world of self-emancipated human beings and pushing France in the direction of a violent revolution. Gresset supported a “civic republican” political economy of virtue, and warned about the dangers of the consumer culture fostered by the philosophes. The roots of his cultural criticism lay in moral and political concerns that found expression in a patriotic discourse stressing the importance of social “harmony” and the common good while rejecting any temptation to belong to a “party.” In this spirit, Gresset defended the “ancient constitution” against idle monks, royal or ministerial despotism, parlementarian rebellion, and the philosophes.

  • LA CARRIÈRE DE JEAN RACINE Vêtements De Confection Que La Société Jette Au Hasard Sur Nos Épaules, Et Dont Il Faut Bien Que Nous Nous Accommodions
    Extrait de la publication Extrait de la publication Extrait de la publication Extrait de la publication Tous droits de traduction, de reproduction et d'adaptation réservés pour tous les pays. © Éditions Gallimard, 1961. Extrait de la publication AVANT-PROPOS « Ces minuties acquièrent quelque importance quand il s'agit d'un aussi grand homme que Racine. Les fausses anecdotes sur ceux qui illustrèrent le beau siècle de Louis XIV sont répétées dans tant de livres ridicules, et ces livres sont en si grand nombre, tant de lecteurs oisifs et mal instruits prennent ces contes pour des vérités, qu'on ne peut trop les prémunir contre tous ces mensonges. » VOLTAIRE, Le Siècle de Louis XIV, éd. de Kehl, tome XXI, page 156, en note. Ce n'est pas ici une biographie, mais l'histoire d'une carrière, où les événements de la vie de Racine sont considérés surtout en tant qu'ils ont eu des répercussions matérielles et sociales. Que l'auteur d'Esther ait fait carrière, on n'en saurait douter. Il ne s'est pas soucié de vivre dans ce qu'on devait appeler plus tard la solitude du génie, et il n'a prétendu échapper à aucune des contingences de son siècle. Jeune homme, il est pris entre une ambition et une vocation qui ne coïncident pas nécessairement, mais qui, l'une et l'autre, se défi- nissent à l'intérieur de la structure sociale de son époque. Auteur dramatique, il souhaite plaire, et l'on n'ignore pas que, de tous les écrivains, le dramaturge est celui qui saurait le moins se passer d'un public.

D. The University of Leeds, Department of French. October, 1978 SUMMARY This thesis has as its object to investigate the fate of'epic in France in the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Piron's La Louisiade of 1745 and Chateaubriand's Les Martyrs of 1809 are chosen to indicate the precise delimitation of the period of study. Given the incidence of epic composition during these sixty-odd years, no attempt at completeness has been made but representative works are examined in sufficient number and detail to ensure an accurate idea of the genre. In the belief that an informed reading of epic is impossible without a knowledge of epic theory, Chapter One explores the substantial corpus of critical writing on the subject during the years under review. There is constant reference to previous critical opinion in an attempt to dis- cover to what extent the theory of epic remained faithful to the neo- classical norm in France. Following this necessary preliminary, Chapters Two to Four present a detailed analysis of the three major categories of this generic form. These latter comprise: the national historical epic, epics on the dis- covery and conquest of the New World and the biblical epic.
