Jean Rousset, Forme Et Signification, Paris, Corti, 1963
Jean Rousset, Forme et signification, Paris, Corti, 1963. (Introduction- avec de légères coupures et des notes ajoutées) INTRODUCTION POUR UNE LECTURE DES FORMES «Le mystère sacré de la structure » Henry James 1 Ce livre a-t-il besoin d’une longue justification ? Rien de plus normal, semble-t-il, que son propos : saisir des significations à travers des formes, dégager des ordonnances et des présentations révélatrices, déceler dans les textures littéraires ces nœuds, ces figures, ces reliefs inédits qui signalent l’opération simultanée d’une longue expérience vécue et d’une mise en œuvre. Il y a longtemps qu’on s’en doute : l’art réside dans cette solidarité d’un univers mental et d’une construction sensible, d’une vision et d’une forme. Les choses ne sont pourtant pas si simples ; sur la nature du fait littéraire et sur la manière de saisir les œuvres, sur les rapports de la création et de la réalité, de l’artiste et de l’histoire, de la sensation et du langage, sur le rôle dans l’art de cette fonction capitale, l’imagination, les incertitudes et les oppositions abondent. Mais s’il est une notion qui provoque la contradiction ou le désaccord, c’est bien celle, pourtant centrale, de la forme. Il faut le dire, les difficultés ici s’accumulent et je ne prétends pas les résoudre. Dans ces pages qui préludent non pas à un ouvrage de spéculation, mais à une série d’applications, je me bornerai à préciser quelques points, à prévenir certains malentendus, et à dire tout d’abord sur quelle expérience je m’appuie. -

A Little Tour in France
A LITTLE TOUR IN FRANCE with ninety-four illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL LONDON WILLIAM HEINEMANN 1900 Preface Preface The notes presented in this volume were gathered, as will easily be perceived, a number of years ago and on an expectation not at that time answered by the event, and were then published in the United States. The expectation had been that they should accompany a series of drawings, and they themselves were altogether governed by the pictorial spirit. They made, and they make in appearing now, after a considerable interval and for the first time, in England, no pretension to any other; they are impressions, immediate, easy, and consciously limited; if the written word may ever play the part of brush or pencil, they are sketches on "drawing-paper" and nothing more. From the moment the principle of selection and expression, with a tourist, is not the delight of the eyes and the play of fancy, it should be an energy in every way much larger; there is no happy mean, in other words, I hold, between the sense and the quest of the picture, and the surrender to it, and the sense and the quest of the constitution, the inner springs of the subject—springs and connections social, economic, historic. One must really choose, in other words, between the benefits of the perception of surface—a perception, when fine, perhaps none of the most frequent—and those of the perception of very complex underlying matters. If these latter had had, for me, to be taken into account, my pages would not have been collected. -
Janet Gurkin Altman Approaches to a Form
Janet Gurkin Altman Approaches to a Form EPISTOLARITY Approaches to a Form By Janet Gurkin Altman Though the letter's potential as an artistic form and a narrative vehicle has been recog nized by writers of nearly every nationality and period from Ovid, in the Epistulae Heroidum, to Saul Bellow, in Herzog, episto lary literature has only recently become the object of close and sustained critical scrutiny as a result of the revival of the letter form in contemporary fiction, and a growing recogni tion that the genre was not, in fact, abandoned following the period of its greatest popularity in the eighteenth century. This was the age that produced such classics as Montesquieu's Lettres persanes, Richardson's Pamela and Clarissa, Rousseau's La Nouvelle Héloïse, Smollett's Humphry Clinker, Goethe's Werth er, and Laclos's Les Liaisons dangereuses. Such well-known works, Professor Altman suggests, though they represent a wide di versity in style, plot, and characterization, re veal a surprising number of similar literary structures or intriguingly persistent patterns when read together with other examples of the epistolary genre. And these structures — re curring thematic relations, character types, narrative events and organization — can, in turn, be related to properties inherent in the letter itself. For in numerous instances, these basic formal and functional characteristics of the letter, far from being purely ornamental, significantly affect the way in which meaning is constructed, consciously and unconscious ly, by both writers and readers. The epistolary novel. Dr. Altman points out, was born in an age when novelists like Diderot and Sterne had moved beyond story telling to indulge in playful reflection upon history and fiction, and the means by which historical and fictional events are recounted. -

THE DELIGHTS in FRANCE for the TOURISTS Denisa Wolfe ID 499 Dr. James Hightower
THE DELIGHTS IN FRANCE FOR THE TOURISTS by Denisa Wolfe ID 499 Dr. James Hightower TABLE OF CONTENTS Loire Valley 1 - 27 Normandy 28 - 36 Brittany 37 - 44 Pyrenees 45 - 53 Perigord 54 - 63 Provence 64 - 74 - - LOIRE VALLEY The Loire River is the longest river in France, flowing for approximately six hundred miles. This river, with the Cher River and the Indre River, forms the Loire Valley. This is the area of France for dreaming along the banks of the rivers. Dreams of those of the past have dotted the Loire Valley with magnificent chateaux. This is truly the chateaux country of France. This region of France was very popular with the royalty, and many of their royal residences are still there. Many of these chateaux are not only beautiful, but also possess intriguing stories of love, jealousy, and murder. Amboise The Chateau d'Amboise is in Italian Renaissance style. One of the main attractions of this chateau is the Tour des Minimes which is the five-storey spiral ramp used for bringing horses and carriages up to the chateau from the river below. In 1470, Charles VIII was born here and began to rebuild it in 1492. In 1498, Charles VIII died from striking his forehead on a low-hanging doorway in the chateau. In 1560, the chateau was the site of a gruesome scene. There was the massacre of the Protestants for the conspiracy of La Renaudie. They were hung from the iron balconies of the chateau. A fanciful visitor today can 2 perhaps picture traces of blood on the crossed iron bars of the balcony where heads were hung. -

ABSTRACT Title of Document: ANXIOUS JOURNEYS: PAST
ABSTRACT Title of Document: ANXIOUS JOURNEYS: PAST, PRESENT, AND CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN AMERICAN TRAVEL WRITING Donna Packer-Kinlaw Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Professor John Auchard Department of English Travel writing ostensibly narrates leisurely excursions through memorable landscapes and records the adventures associated with discovering new scenes. The journey presumably provides an escape from the burdens of daily life, and the ideal traveler embraces the differences between home and another place. Yet, the path can sometimes lead to distressing scenes, where visitors struggle to situate themselves in strange and unfamiliar places. Americans, in particular, often demonstrate anxiety about what sites they should visit and how such scenes should be interpreted. The differences between their ideas about these spaces and the reality can also foment anguish. More, American travelers seem to believe that personal and national identities are tenuous, and they often take steps to preserve their sense of self when they feel threatened by uncanny sites and scenes. Thus, their travel narratives reveal a distinct struggle with what is here identified as the anxiety of travel. This dissertation identifies its triggers, analyzes its symptoms, and examines how it operates in American-authored narratives of travel. While most critics divide these journeys into two groups (home and abroad), this dissertation considers tension in both domestic and transatlantic tours. This broader approach provides a more thorough understanding of the travel writing genre, offers more information on how this anxiety functions, and helps us to formulate a more specific theory about the roles of anxiety and travel in identity construction. It also invites a reassessment of destination and what constitutes a site, and makes it easier to recognize disguised anxiety. -

Toward the end of 1949, Raymond and Poulet embarked on a long correspondence reporting on and discussing their respective work. Form and Signification in Motion In 1950, the three names René Wellek (1992) associated with "The Geneva School" were Raymond (1897-1981), Béguin (1901-1957), and Poulet (1902-1991). Olivier Pot Later, two of Raymond's students, Jean Rousset (1910-2002) and Jean translated by Helena Taylor Starobinski (1920) joined this initial circle. Poulet, who from 1952 had taken up a post at Johns Hopkins University in Bàltimore, introduced Starobinski to the circle in 1954, and in the same year he became acquainted with Jean Rousset's thesis (Rousset 1953). Historians sometimes also add Poulet's doctoral student, Jean-Pierre Richard (1922; Richard 2002, 47-48) to this "The Geneva School" was the term used from the 1950s and 1960s to group. The term "Nouvelle critique"' appears for the first time in Poulet's describe a group of literary cri tics who belonged to the movement known in preface to Richard's book, Littérature et sensation published in 1954. In France as the Nouvelle Critique, following the confrontation between Picard 1956, Poulet accepted a chair in literature at Zurich University, probably and Barthes over Sur Racine in 1963. -
