  • Rabelais' Pantagruel and Gargantua As Instruction Manuals
    FROM POPULAR CULTURE TO ENLIGHTENMENT: RABELAIS’ PANTAGRUEL AND GARGANTUA AS INSTRUCTION MANUALS Ashley Robb A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August: 2012: Committee: Dr. Beatrice Guenther, Advisor Dr. Robert Berg ii ABSTRACT Dr. Beatrice Guenther, Advisor Popular references are a defining feature of François Rabelais’ Pantagruel and Gargantua. One cannot read either of these narratives without being exposed to a barrage of popular characters, imagery, and events. This study serves to elucidate Rabelais’ use of popular characters within Pantagruel and Gargantua by arguing that the author used these characters as instructional tools. The first component of this thesis will analyze the manner in which Rabelais makes use of his mythical protagonists in order to denounce the ideological use of myth. This study will also demonstrate how Rabelais uses popular characters in his second narrative, Gargantua, to evoke Erasmian evangelism. The final chapter of this thesis will examine several narrative techniques employed by Rabelais in order to transmit to his readers lessons on wisdom and truth. The culmination of these examples serves to show how Rabelais’ Pantagruel and Gargantua function as instruction manuals, by redefining and reclaiming what it means to be a Christian, and informing readers how to live a better, more evangelical, life. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ..............................................................................................................

Eklund, Craig (MA, Comparative Literature Graduate Program) The Construction of Time and Space in Gargantua et Pantagruel and Gravity’s Rainbow Thesis directed by Professor Christopher Braider François Rabelais‟s Gargantua and Pantagruel and Thomas Pynchon‟s Gravity’s Rainbow are works of literature separated by several centuries characterized at once by astounding resemblances and no less telling differences. This thesis proposes that both the similarities and disparities are grounded in a common conceptualization of time and space, specifically as they relate to human beings. It examines each work in its turn, drawing out the ontology that these conceptions entail, an ontology firmly situated within a vision of humanity‟s place in the world. It then turns in the final section to compare the two works, taking up the implications for several different histories that pass in the intervening centuries.

  • Satire and the Corpus Mysticum During Crises of Fragmentation
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Body Satyrical: Satire and the Corpus Mysticum during Crises of Fragmentation in Late Medieval and Early Modern France A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in French and Francophone Studies by Christopher Martin Flood 2013 © Copyright by Christopher Martin Flood 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Body Satyrical: Satire and the Corpus Mysticum during Crises of Fragmentation in Medieval and Early Modern France by Christopher Martin Flood Doctor of Philosophy in French and Francophone Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Jean-Claude Carron, Chair The later Middle Ages and early modern period in France were marked by divisive conflicts (i.e. the Western Schism, the Hundred Years’ War, and the Protestant Reformation) that threatened the stability and unity of two powerful yet seemingly fragile social entities, Christendom and the kingdom of France. The anxiety engendered by these crises was heightened by the implicit violence of a looming fragmentation of those entities that, perceived through the lens of the Pauline corporeal metaphor, were imagined as corpora mystica (mystical bodies). Despite the gravity of these crises of fragmentation, ii each met with a somewhat unexpected and, at times, prolific response in the form of satirical literature. Since that time, these satirical works have been reductively catalogued under the unwieldy genre of traditional satire and read superficially as mere vituperation or ridiculing didacticism. However, when studied against the background of sixteenth- century theories of satire and the corporeal metaphor, a previously unnoticed element of these works emerges that sets them apart from traditional satire and provides an original insight into the culture of the time.

    AMHERST COLLEGE ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Haldeman-Julius “Little Blue Book” Collection 1919-1947 Quantity: 3029 volumes, 55 linear feet Access: There is no restriction on access to the Haldeman-Julius “Little Blue Book” Collection for research use. Particularly fragile items may be restricted for preservation purposes. © 2008 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 1 Haldeman-Julius “Little Blue Book” Collection SCOPE AND CONTENTS A representative but incomplete collection of the once popular “Little Blue Books,” a series of small, very inexpensive staple-bound books that were published by the Haldeman-Julius Publishing Company of Girard, Kansas between 1919 and 1978. They were the project of Emanuel Haldeman-Julius (1889-1951), a socialist reformer and newspaper publisher. The books were extremely popular across the widest possible range of American readers, both educated, sophisticated readers as well as (and more notably) the little-educated working class who could otherwise not afford to read literature. The works covered include many classics of Western literature, but also practical how-to manuals alongside frank writings on controversial or emergent social themes such as homosexuality and atheism. Works of philosophy and politics, too, are represented, including tracts written by Haldeman-Julius himself. The name of the series changed over the first few years, known as the People's Pocket Series, the Appeal Pocket Series and the Ten Cent Pocket Series, before finally attaining the name that persisted, Little Blue Books. © 2008 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 2 Haldeman-Julius “Little Blue Book” Collection Box Folder Dates Description 1 Omar Khayyam Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Little Blue Book No.
