The over-riding perceptions of Victor Hugo’s attitudes towards women are intensely coloured by his deep-seated Romanticism and his well-testified, stifling, and over- bearing treatment of women in his personal life. As such, Hugo’s contribution to the feminist movement of his time has been woefully overlooked in the larger scheme of his social and political activism. Through a close examination of his largely neglected and unstudied public discourse on behalf of women’s rights, this thesis situates Hugo’s feminist views firmly in the context of 19th century French feminism, while also drawing heavily from the illuminating precepts of Enlightenment feminism. In particular, this thesis examines Hugo’s support for several of the most determining issues of 19th century French feminism, including women’s right to education, equal citizenship, universal suffrage rights, and the issue of regulated prostitution. Further, by examining the way in which Hugo’s views on women’s maternal role extended far behind the limited vision of domesticity bolstered by the ideology of ‘republican motherhood’, this thesis engages in a re-appraisal of Hugo’s literary representation of maternity which identifies the maternal as a universal quality of devotion and self- sacrifice to which all humankind must aspire for the creation of a just, egalitarian, and democratic society. Though at times inevitably constrained by his Romanticism, this thesis demonstrates the extent to which Hugo’s feminism is grounded in his wider vision of social emancipation and is underpinned by a profound empathy, compassion, and moral conscience – qualities which are just as fundamental for men participating in the feminist struggle today, as they were for Hugo when participating in the fitful, though decisive, feminist movement in 19th century France. 5 Acknowledgements. There are several people who have been a constant source of encouragement, support, and guidance for me throughout my writing of this thesis. It gives me great pleasure to finally have the opportunity to extend my thanks to them. I owe immense thanks to Paul Hegarty for accepting to supervise this project and for providing such valuable direction for this thesis, particularly in its initial stages. I am very grateful to have had such an understanding and encouraging supervisor who I knew was always only an email away in times of need and who painstakingly read the many lengthy drafts which were extended in his direction throughout the writing of this thesis. I owe deepest thanks also to Fiona Cox whose inspiring, enthusiastic, and stimulating undergraduate classes fostered my initial fascination with Victor Hugo, and whose expert assistance was a tremendous help to me in devising an original and tenable research project. I am especially thankful to Fiona for her sound advice, expertise, and kind words throughout every stage of this project, and for encouraging me to present my research at two thoroughly enjoyable SDN conferences. I would like to thank my trusty proof-reader Elaine Ni Chaoimh for her meticulous reading of my thesis. I am certain that many typing errors and unwieldy sentences would have gone unnoticed were it not for her generous and painstaking reading of each completed chapter and the many revised drafts of this thesis. I would also like to express my deepest thanks to Elaine for her friendship, support, and encouragement throughout this project. I would also like to thank my dear friend Siobhán Ní Mhuimhneacháin for her continued support and encouragement and her very generous feedback on my work. I am particularly grateful to Siobhán for tolerating so many conversations about my research. It is of great importance to me to thank all of the following people for their kind words of support and encouragement, and most importantly, who always reminded me of the end goal: Nóríde Ní Mhuimhneacháin, Fiona Crowe, Joan O’Mahony, Margaret Ní Mhuimhneacháin, Nóirín O’Riordan, Nicola Ní Chríodáin, Ronan O’Mahony, Robert Cast, Éanna Ó’Críodáin, Bret Harrington, Mary Creedon, Bailey Crowley, and my 6 dear Nana Nora O’Driscoll. Gobnait Dineen owes special thanks for her help with transport in times of need. Special thanks are owed also to Marie Buckley for accompanying me on many energizing coffee breaks on campus. Thanks also to Cian Ó’Riordáin for his patient and at times much-needed technical support. Finally, I would not have been able to undertake this thesis nor see it through to completion were it not for the emotional and financial support of my family and I am very grateful now to be able to grant them this small, though heartfelt, token of my thanks. 7 The contribution of Victor Hugo to the liberation, emancipation, and changing perceptions of women in 19th century French society. When one thinks of Victor Hugo and women, the word feminism certainly does not often, if ever, come to mind. One thinks rather of Hugo as the ardent, philandering lover, the Romantic poet forever contemplating Le Sacre de la Femme, or the loving, generous, but over-bearing father. And yet, it is widely accepted that Hugo did support women’s rights and defended the plight of women. The figure of Fantine serves as the most enduring reminder of Hugo’s defence of women which has lingered on into public and popular imagination. While his commiseration with the plight of women may be acknowledged however, the perceived need to devote singular and unique attention to Hugo’s defence of women, or indeed to consider whether his name merits a place in the feminist movement of the 19th century has not been deemed worthy of in-depth critical appraisal in Hugolian scholarship to date. There appears to be several over-riding reasons for this phenomenon. Most obviously, the voluminous collection of studies devoted to Hugo’s personal relationships with women have dramatically directed the course of scholarly focus away from any in- depth appraisal of his contribution to the feminist struggle of his time.

Ce fait, le voici: on assassine un peuple. Où? En Europe. Ce fait a-t-il des témoins? Un témoin, le monde entier. Les gouvernements le voient-ils? Non. Les nations ont au-dessus d'elles quelque chose qui est au-dessous d'elles les gouvernements. A de certains moments, ce contre-sens éclate: la civilisation est dans les peuples, la barbarie est dans les gouvernants. Cette barbarie est-elle voulue? Non; elle est simplement professionnelle. Ce que le genre humain sait, les gouvernements l'ignorent. Cela tient à ce que les gouvernements ne voient rien qu'à travers cette myopie, la raison d'état; le genre humain regarde avec un autre oeil, la conscience. Nous allons étonner les gouvernements européens en leur apprenant une chose, c'est que les crimes sont des crimes, c'est qu'il n'est pas plus permis à un gouvernement qu'à un individu d'être un assassin, c'est que l'Europe est solidaire, c'est que tout ce qui se fait en Europe est fait par l'Europe, c'est que, s'il existe un gouvernement bête fauve, il doit être traité en bête fauve; c'est qu'à l'heure qu'il est, tout près de nous, là, sous nos yeux, on massacre, on incendie, on pille, on extermine,

  • Resituating Transatlantic Opera: the Case of the Théâtre D'orléans, New
    Resituating Transatlantic Opera: The Case of the Théâtre d’Orléans, New Orleans, 1819–1859 Charlotte Alice Bentley Emmanuel College October 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the production and reception of French opera in New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, through a focus on the city’s principal French-language theatre from 1819 to 1859, the Théâtre d’Orléans. Building on the small body of existing scholarship concerning the theatre’s history and repertoire, here I draw upon a greatly expanded range of sources—including court cases, sheet music, and novels—in order to understand more about the ways in which operatic culture shaped and was shaped by city life in this period. New Orleans’s operatic life relied on transatlantic networks of people and materials in order to thrive, and this thesis explores the city’s place within growing global operatic systems in the nineteenth century. The five chapters each reflect on different aspects of operatic translocation and its significance for New Orleans. The first two argue for the centrality of human agency to the development of transatlantic networks of production and performance by examining the management of the theatre and the international movement of singers in turn. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of French grand opéra on New Orleans, arguing that the genre provided a focus for the negotiation of local, national, and international identities among opposing critical (and linguistic) factions within the city, while also providing an impetus for the development of a material culture of opera.

Le premier projet de roman élaboré par Hugo, et interrompu par la révolution de 1830, attribuait à ce personnage un rôle plus important que dans la version finale : Phœbus de Châteaupers n’avait pas encore été inventé, et Gringoire jouait, à sa place, le rôle de rival de Claude Frollo. Signe paradoxal de cette importance romanesque : il mourait, remplaçant in extremis la Esmeralda sur le gibet1. La connaissance de cette préhistoire du roman nous conduit naturellement à envisager le personnage de Gringoire à travers la question de son réemploi : que faire de Gringoire, quel rôle lui assigner, à partir du moment où Phœbus l’a détrôné comme troisième amoureux de la Esmeralda ? Nous ne comptons pas nous aventurer dans une comparaison entre les deux états du roman – le premier ne nous est connu que par une ébauche de plan : la confrontation tournerait court.

TO HIS MEMORY " If, upon your side, you have the testimony of your conscience, and, against you, that of the multitude, take comfort, rest assured that time will do justice.'^ — Diderot PREFACE This book is an attempt to chronicle the chief incidents in the life of the late Emile Zola, and to set out the various aims he had in view at different periods of a career which was one of the most strenuous the modern world has known. Virtually all his work is enumerated in the following pages, which, though some are given to argument and criticism, will be found crowded with facts. The result may not be very artistic, but it has been partially my object to show what a tremendous worker Zola was, how incessantly, how stubbornly, he practised the gospel which he preached. An attempt has been made also to show the growth of humani- tarian and reforming passions in his heart and mind, passions which became so powerful at last that the " novelist " in Zola seemed as nothing.

With wonderful skill and versatility, helped by inAenious recordini; methods, Mr. Henderson 1 as succeeted in differentiating most cl'verly between the voices and personalities of Falstaff himself, of Ford as " Master Brook," and of Ford in his own person, and has thus produced a record the like of which, so far as we are aware, has never been attempted before. Mr. Henderson recently made a tremendous hit by his assumption of the part of Ford in the revival of the opera by the Royal Acad-my of Music at the Scala Theatre-whence arose no doubt the idea of this remarkable combination of roles which he has now carried out so brilliantly.
