Juliette Dade helped with translations and became proficient at rendering Balzac (and sometimes Mor- timer) into English. In addition, she tracked down references and typed up my illegible handwritten notes from pre-computer days. Ingrid Ilinca con- tributed speedy and thorough background research on several topics. Leila Ennaïli brought her intelligence and fine mind to a reading of the manuscript and provided judicious criticisms. All three gave generously of their consider- able intellectual gifts, and I am grateful to them for their contributions. It does not fail to amaze me how valuable teaching Balzac has been, and I have much to acknowledge from the students in all the classes where I have taught Balzac. In particular, let me mention Jordan Stump, who has since translated Balzac’s L’envers de l’histoire contemporaine and whose under- standing of the opus grew deep and broad; and James Madden, whose excel- lent reading skills and ability to retain the myriad details of La Comédie humaine outshone anyone’s, and to whom the whole class would turn when a point needed remembering and verifying. Colleagues of the Nineteenth Century French Studies Association heard me deliver papers mostly on Balzac at the annual conferences and gave me the benefit of their reactions. I am grateful for their listening and to the lead- ership of this organization and the hosts of the annual meetings for affording ix x Acknowledgments me this opportunity to try out my ideas and to pursue them from year to year, I hope without becoming too predictable. I also thank the members of the Groupe international de recherches bal- zaciennes who invited me to present a paper on voyages in Balzac in 2001 in the suitably Balzacian location of Tours, in particular Paule Pétitier, who hosted the conference, and the GIRB’s chief animator, Nicole Mozet. Simi- larly, I thank the England-based Society of Dix-Neuviémistes who heard my papers on La recherche de l’Absolu and on Melmoth réconcilié in 2002 and 2003. Illinois colleagues Larry Schehr and Andrea Goulet provided helpful com- ments and always fine, stimulating dialogue. I also thank a good reader and a hearty supporter for many years, Allan Pasco, one of the distinguished Amer- ican Balzacians, for his valuable and encouraging criticism. Finally, I cannot omit recognizing the person who started me on this jour- ney through La Comédie humaine, Peter Brooks, whose graduate seminar on Balzac at Yale in 1971 opened the vein I have continued to mine for my entire professional career. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has supported my research in the form of travel funding and research assistants. The editors of the journals and the collective volumes in which earlier versions of parts of some chapters were published have allowed me to reuse those materials in this book, and I thank them. And I am grateful to the two anonymous readers of the manuscript for The Ohio State University Press, whose reports provided insightful feedback and helped me improve the manuscript. T A word about translations: I have translated French quotations for the convenience of the non-Franco- phone reader, with the hope that the presence of both French and English will not distract either sort of reader. I thank Juliette Dade for her collaboration in the task of translating. T The following articles contained earlier versions of certain parts of this book: “La Maison Nucingen, ou le récit financier.” Romanic Review 69 (1978): 60–71. “Problems of Closure in Balzac’s Stories.” French Forum 10 (1985): 20–39.

Il marche mieux qu’auparavant, il se sent un point d’appui pour son levier, il a le regard plein, direct, il a les mouvements agiles; la veille, humble et timide, il aurait reçu des coups; le lendemain il en donnerait à un premier ministre. Il se passe en lui des phénomènes inouïs: il veut tout et peut tout, il désire à tort et à travers, il est gai, généreux, expansif. Enfin, l’oiseau naguère sans ailes a retrouvé son envergure. Paris lui appartient tout entier. (3: 131)1 1. All references to La Comédie humaine, including editorial material, are to the Pléiade edition listed at the head of the bibliography, except where noted. 1 2 Chapter 1 [The instant money finds its way into a student’s pocket, there arises inside him a fantastic column on which he leans. He walks better than before, he feels a fulcrum for his lever, his gaze is full and direct, his movements are agile; humble and timid the night before, he would have accepted blows; the next day he would strike a prime minister. Unheard-of phenomena occur within him. He wishes for everything and can do everything, he desires wildly, he is cheerful, generous, and expansive. In all, the once wingless bird has recovered his wingspan. All Paris belongs to him.] This apparently minor moment in the student’s life gives a rhetorical image of the power of money to make things happen. It is typical of Balzac’s rhetoric that the small event—money finding its way into the pocket—con- nects to the momentous by means of rhetorical embellishment. A metaphori- cal column rises up, the first result of the agency of money; the pocket change metamorphoses into a major support, such as one might find not only in the pompous façade of a monumental building, but also, suggestively, as the base upholding the statue of a famous person; money is that support instantly raising the indebted student to ranks of power.

A dynamic literary signifier in nineteenth-century literature, the young hero epitomizes the problematic existence encountered by the individual in post-revolutionary France. At the same time, he serves as a mouth-piece for an entire youthful generation burdened by historical memory.

  • Kurosawa's Hamlet?
    Kurosawa’s Hamlet? KAORI ASHIZU In recent years it has suddenly been taken for granted that The Bad Sleep Well (Warui Yatsu Hodo Yoku Nemuru, 1960) should be includ- ed with Kumonosujô and Ran as one of the films which Akira Kuro- sawa, as Robert Hapgood puts it, “based on Shakespeare” (234). However, although several critics have now discussed parallels, echoes and inversions of Hamlet, none has offered any sufficiently coherent, detailed account of the film in its own terms, and the exist- ing accounts contain serious errors and inconsistencies. My own in- tention is not to quarrel with critics to whom I am in other ways in- debted, but to direct attention to a curious and critically alarming situation. I For example, we cannot profitably compare this film with Hamlet, or compare Nishi—Kurosawa’s “Hamlet,” superbly played by Toshirô Mifune—with Shakespeare’s prince, unless we understand Nishi’s attitude to his revenge in two crucial scenes. Yet here even Donald Richie is confused and contradictory. Richie first observes of the earlier scene that Nishi’s love for his wife makes him abandon his revenge: “she, too, is responsible since Mifune, in love, finally de- cides to give up revenge for her sake, and in token of this, brings her a [ 71 ] 72 KAORI ASHIZU bouquet . .” (142).1 Three pages later, he comments on the same scene that Nishi gives up his plan to kill those responsible for his father’s death, but determines to send them to jail instead: The same things may happen (Mori exposed, the triumph of jus- tice) but the manner, the how will be different.

  • Betrayal in the Life of Edward De Vere & the Works of Shakespeare
    Brief Chronicles V (2014) 47 Betrayal in the Life of Edward de Vere & the Works of Shakespeare Richard M. Waugaman* “The reasoned criticism of a prevailing belief is a service to the proponents of that belief; if they are incapable of defending it, they are well advised to abandon it. Any substantive objection is permissible and encouraged; the only exception being that ad hominem attacks on the personality or motives of the author are excluded.” — Carl Sagan e have betrayed Shakespeare. We have failed to recognize his true identity. Any discussion of the theme of betrayal in his works must Wbegin here. We psychoanalysts have also betrayed Freud, in “analyzing” rather than evaluating objectively Freud’s passionately held belief during his final years that “William Shakespeare” was the pseudonym of the Elizabethan courtier poet and playwright Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (1550-1604).1 Freud realized that one unconscious motive for our betrayal of Shakespeare2 is our implacable wish to idealize him. That is, we prefer to accept the traditional author not just in spite of how little we know about him, but precisely because we know so little about him. Thus, we can more easily imagine that this shadowy inkblot of a figure was as glorious a person as are his literary creations. The real Shakespeare was a highly flawed human being who knew betrayal first-hand, since his childhood, from both sides, both as betrayer and betrayed. * This article was originally published in Betrayal: Developmental, Literary, and Clinical Realms, edited by Salman Akhtar (published by Karnac Books in 2013), and is reprinted with kind per- mission of Karnac Books.

Reedy Woodring All rights reserved. Professor Stephen Greenblatt Catherine L. Reedy Woodring “Revenge should have no bounds”: Poison and Revenge in Seventeenth Century English Drama Abstract The revenge- and poison- filled tragedies of seventeenth century England astound audiences with their language of contagion and disease. Understanding poison as the force behind epidemic disease, this dissertation considers the often-overlooked connections between stage revenge and poison. Poison was not only a material substance bought from a foreign market. It was the subject of countless revisions and debates in early modern England. Above all, writers argued about poison’s role in the most harrowing epidemic disease of the period, the pestilence, as both the cause and possible cure of this seemingly contagious disease.
