Managing Time - Literature And Devotion In Early Modern France

68,17€ + 10% CARD

 This volume offers a multidimensional exploration of the theme of time in early modern France: of time past, time present and time future, in literature and in life. In poetry, the importance of past and future perspectives was studied by Maynard and La Fontaine. The dynamics of tragic drama were haunted by the past, driven by the urgency of the present and pervasively aware of the alternative futures that could be created, while in imaginative fiction there was a perennial fascination with possible future societies, Utopian or otherwise. The awareness of transience and mortality gave urgency to the right ordering of life. The Church offered guidance to the pious for their days to be passed in disciplined devotion, while the moralists urged their worldly readers to redeem their misspent time and look to things eternal. At the end, the right ordering of death was both a social and a religious preoccupation. The essays gathered here aim to stimulate an imaginative engagement with this important theme and open up avenues for future research.

François Boscheron, Ami De Challe, Ses ½Uvres, Ses Biographies Et Ses Travaux Éditoriaux - Une Enquête Bio-Bibliographique

by William Brooks

69,56€ + 10% CARD

 François Boscheron, dont rien nétait connu jusquici, ni les dates extrêmes de sa vie ni même son prénom, fut à ses heures perdues un auteur de petites oeuvres originales. Des travaux biographiques et éditoriaux portant sur des figures majeures du XVIIe siècle, telles Charpentier, Corneille, DAubignac, Pavillon, Quinault et Varillas, lui ont valu de multiples mentions dans des ouvrages de critique littéraire et historique. Parmi les contemporains avec lesquels il interagissait pendant le premier tiers du XVIIIe, on compte Boffrand, Fontenelle, Galland, La Monnoye, Saint-Pierre et Sallengre. Ami du romancier et voyageur Robert Challe, dont il était dans une certaine mesure le représentant à Paris, Boscheron était comme lui un correspondant important des responsables du Journal littéraire de La Haye. Malgré tous ces liens, cet habile touche-à-tout na jamais fait lobjet dune étude densemble. Ce livre se donne donc comme objectif dévaluer ses écrits et de replacer cet écrivain convenablement dans ce quil aurait appelé la « République des Lettres ». Pour la première fois, cet auteur méconnu se trouve pourvu dune identité, dune vie personnelle et dun contexte professionnel qui, pour être imprévu, nen était pas moins central dans la société parisienne de son époque.

Hellenic Whispers - Modes Of Greek Literary Influence In Seventeenth-Century French Drama

by Susanna Phillippo

94,14€ + 10% CARD

 Hellenic Whispers builds a picture of how Greek literature was received and reworked by the authors of seventeenth-century French tragedy. Using case studies, the author establishes a new methodology for exploring the variety of responses and creative processes involved in these encounters with classical Greek material. The book explores the complex interactions surrounding these adaptations of Greek dramatic material, involving the input of scribes, editors, translators and earlier authors, and asks the important question of what these dramatists conceived of themselves as doing. Focusing on a time and place where cultural predilections and a lack of linguistic training made engagement with the original Greek texts problematic, the book explores the creative role of intermediary sources, the build-up of chain reactions between sources and the cumulative processes of recreation involved in the genesis of seventeenth-century dramatic texts. The volume also goes on to explore wider questions relevant to the classical tradition and issues of source study and reception.
