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.

Vous qui, par le privilège des Raphaël et des Pitt, étiez déjà grand poète à l’âge où les hommes sont encore si petits, vous avez, comme Chateaubriand, comme tous les vrais talents, lutté contre les envieux embusqués derrière les colonnes, ou tapis dans les souterrains du Journal. Aussi désiré-je que votre nom victorieux aide à la victoire de cette œuvre que je vous dédie, et qui, selon certaines personnes, serait un acte de courage autant qu’une histoire pleine de vérité. Les journalistes n’eussent-ils donc pas appartenu, comme les marquis, les financiers, les médecins et les procureurs, à Molière et à son Théâtre ? Pourquoi donc la Comédie Humaine, qui castigat ridendo mores, excepterait-elle une puissance, quand la Presse parisienne n’en excepte aucune ? 5 Je suis heureux, monsieur, de pouvoir me dire ainsi Votre sincère admirateur et ami, DE BALZAC. 6 Première partie Les deux poètes 7 À l’époque où commence cette histoire, la presse de Stanhope et les rouleaux à distribuer l’encre ne fonctionnaient pas encore dans les petites imprimeries de province.

  • 72 REVIEWS and His Flowering in Opera. Scribe Is Not of Course An
    72 REVIEWS and his flowering in opera. Scribe is not of course an author who could ever find favour with the aficionados of literary anguish and morbidity, and it is easy to mock his facility and theatrical adherence to the Cleopatra's nose school of history. It is even possible to find a few flaws in this book, such as the unfortunate comparison of 'piece bien faite' with a frontage 'bien fait' in the Preface and EUGENE (sic) on the spine. But without exaggerating Scribe's literary qualities the authors make a good case for recognizing his achievements Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/fs/article/XXXVIII/1/72/573627 by guest on 01 October 2021 as one of the foremost men of the theatre of the first half of the nineteenth century, not just in France, but in Europe. He is indeed unique among French writers for the theatre in the number of recent major productions and broadcasts in this country, to cite only Le Comle Ory and L'Africaine. Readers inclined to minimize Scribe's contribution to such operas should show that they are better judges of a librettist than the musicians who appreciated his expertise, including Auber, Boieldieu, Cherubini, Donizetti, Gounod, Hal6vy, Meyer- beer, Offenbach, Rossini, Thomas, Verdi, and Weber. On his election to the Acad6mie Francaise Scribe noted that, however true to life comedy may appear, it always rejects as well as reflects the society which it represents, to compensate, to cover up. His own direct testimony on Parisian life in his time is doubtless considerable, especially his dialogue as a witness to colloquial French.

    L'entrée en scène de Vautrin le diabolique dans l'œuvre de Title Balzac Author(s) MURATA, Kyoko Citation 仏文研究 (2001), 32: 43-68 Issue Date 2001-10-15 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/137922 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University L'entrée en scène de Vautrin le diabolique dans l'œuvre de Balzac Kyoko MURATA L'œuvre où Vautrin fait son apparition pour la première fois dans La Comédie humaine, c'est Le Père Coriot et dès lors il s'impose dans cet univers romanesque pour le dominer d'une force occulte. Comme le dit justement l'auteur de Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes, ce personnage extraordinaire constitue une « espèce de colonne vertébrale qui, par son horrible influence, relie pour ainsi dire Le Père Coriot à Illusions perdues, et Illusions perdues à cette Etude (= Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes) 1) ». Tenant compte du fait qu'il est souvent appelé dès la première œuvre de ce triptyque, «le tentateur» ou «le diable », et qu'il joue le rôle de séducteur et de corrupteur auprès d'un jeune homme qui n'a pas encore complètement perdu sa naïveté ni sa pureté, on peut considérer Vautrin comme un des personnages les plus diaboliques de La Comédie humaine. En ce qui concerne le pacte diabolique, bien qu'au stade du Père Coriot, Vautrin demeure là discret, on n'en est pas moins incité à y penser de par les expressions de son discours adressé à Eugène de Rastignac : «je vais 2 vous faire une proposition que personne ne refuserait ) »; « Ne vous étonnez ni de ce que je vous propose, ni de ce que je vous demande!3) ».

With its dramatic plots and memorable characters, Balzac’s fiction has enthralled generations of readers. La Comédie humaine, the vast collection of works in which he strove to document every aspect of nineteenth-century French society, has influenced writers from Flaubert, Zola and Proust to Dostoevsky and Oscar Wilde. This Companion provides a critical reappraisal of Balzac, combining studies of his major novels with guidance on the key narrative and thematic features of his writing. Twelve chapters by world-leading specialists encompass a wide spectrum of topics such as the representation of history, philosophy and religion, the plight of the struggling artist, gender and sexuality, and Balzac’s depiction of the creative process itself. owen heathcote is Honorary Senior Research Fellow in Modern French Studies at the University of Bradford. He researches on the relation between violence, gender, sexuality and representation in French literature from the nineteenth century to the present. His many publications include Balzac and Violence. Representing History, Space, Sexuality and Death in ‘La Comédie humaine’ (2009) and From Bad Boys to New Men? Masculinity, Sexuality and Violence in the Work of Éric Jourdan (2014). andrew watts is Senior Lecturer in French Studies at the University of Birmingham.

    ILLUSIONS PERDUES ET LE SWEDENBORGISME BALZACIEN ENTRE LE SERF ARBITRE DE LUTHER ET LE LIBRE ARBITRE D'ERASME by EVELINA SADOVSKA B.A., KLarasin Kharkiv National University, 1997 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (French) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2007 © Evelina Sadovska, 2007 RESUME De Pantiquite jusqu'aux nos jours, la question du libre arbitre, etant un des problemes fondamentaux de la philosophic et de la theologie, a toujours evoque de vives discussions parmi ses adherents et ses adversaires. Le but de ce projet est d'examiner l'attitude de l'un des plus grands romanciers du XIX ieme siecle, Honore de Balzac, vis-a-vis de la question du libre arbitre en comparant les idees philosophiques de l'auteur qui se manifestent dans un de ses romans les plus connus, Illusions perdues, avec les doctrines theologiques representees dans Du serf arbitre de Luther qui nie l'existence du libre arbitre; dans Du libre arbitre d'Erasme, qui, au contraire, soutient le libre arbitre de I'homme; et finalement dans les ceuvres mystiques d'Emmanuel Swedenborg, le philosophe et visionnaire suedois qui a beaucoup influence la vie et les oeuvres de Balzac. Cette analyse comparative demontre que, malgre le fatalisme apparent des plusieurs elements des Illusions perdues, Balzac, comme Swedenborg, croit au libre arbitre de I'homme en soutenant la theorie dite compatibiliste selon laquelle le libre arbitre et le determinisme sont des idees compatibles l'une avec l'autre. iii TABLE DES MATIERES Resume 11 Table des matieres "i Liste des figures iy Remerciement v Dedicace V1 Epigraphe v'i Chapitre 1 Introduction 1 Chapitre I Balzac et Luther 12 1.1 Balzac fataliste ? 12 1.2 Balzac surdeterministe ? 23 1.2.1.
