Vivre libre et écrire

Release Date: 2005
L'année 1789 ouvre une ère nouvelle en France : les temps changent, les femmes écrivent malgré les préjugés et les interdits qui auraient voulu les laisser en marge du mouvement de l'Histoire ! Vivre libre et écrire : la formule trouvée par Huguette Krief exprime énergiquement cet accès de la femme, dans une période où la condition féminine est si difficile à vivre, à la liberté de dire et de publier son expérience, ses protestations, ses idées et ses rêves.C'est la variété et la vitalité de la production romanesque féminine (1789-1800) qu'illustre cette anthologie destinée au spécialiste comme à l'étudiant. Elle rassemble des textes de Germaine de Staël, Isabelle de Charrière, Félicité de Genlis, Adélaïde de Souza, Sophie Cottin, Olympe de Gouges, et d'autres romancières oubliées, dont les oeuvres jusqu'ici inaccessibles prennent un éclat particulier dans la chronologie des événements. Une introduction qui retrace les fortunes du genre pendant la Révolution, un répertoire chronologique des oeuvres, des notices biographiques, des bibliographies, des notes précisant les allusions historiques en rendront la consultation aisée.
Narratives of fear and safety

The essays in this edited volume, written in English and French, tackle the intriguing problems of fear and safety by analysing their various meanings and manifestations in literature and other narrative media. The articles bring forth new, cross-cultural interpretations on fear and safety through examining what kinds of genre-specific means of world-making narratives use to express these two affectivities. The articles also show how important it is to study these themes in order to understand challenges in times of global threats, such as the climate crisis. The main themes of the book are approached from various theoretical perspectives as related to their literary and cultural representations. Recent trends in research, such as affect and risk theory, serve as the basis for the discussion. The articles in the volume also draw from disciplines such as gender studies and trauma studies to examine the threats posed by collective fears and aggression on individuals' lives and propose ways of coping with fear. These themes are addressed also in articles analysing new adaptations of old myths that retell stories of the past. Many of the articles in the volume discuss apocalyptic and dystopian narratives that currently permeate the entire cultural landscape. Dystopian narratives do not only deal with future threats, such as totalitarianism, technocracy, or environmental disasters, but also suggest alternative ways of being and new hopes in the form of political resistance.
The Frankenstein of 1790 and Other Lost Chapters from Revolutionary France

The French Revolution brings to mind violent mobs, the guillotine, and Madame Defarge, but it was also a publishing revolution: more than 1,200 novels were published between 1789 and 1804, when Napoleon declared the Revolution at an end. In this book, Julia V. Douthwaite explores how the works within this enormous corpus announced the new shapes of literature to come and reveals that vestiges of these stories can be found in novels by the likes of Mary Shelley, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Honoré de Balzac, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, and L. Frank Baum. Deploying political history, archival research, and textual analysis with eye-opening results, Douthwaite focuses on five major events between 1789 and 1794—first in newspapers, then in fiction—and shows how the symbolic stories generated by Louis XVI, Robespierre, the market women who stormed Versailles, and others were transformed into new tales with ongoing appeal. She uncovers a 1790 story of an automaton-builder named Frankénsteïn, links Baum to the suffrage campaign going back to 1789, and discovers a royalist anthem’s power to undo Balzac’s Père Goriot. Bringing to light the missing links between the ancien régime and modernity, The Frankenstein of 1790 and Other Lost Chapters from Revolutionary France is an ambitious account of a remarkable politico-literary moment and its aftermath.
