À travers ses portraits littéraires de poètes et de prosateurs publiés dans des revues et rassemblés en 1889 dans la première édition d'Appreciations, Walter Pater (1839-1894) propose une certaine histoire littéraire anglaise depuis le xviie siècle jusqu'à William Morris et Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Abordant une grande diversité d'oeuvres dans leur caractère créatif pour les situer dans la trajectoire intellectuelle de leurs auteurs, Pater les replace au coeur du dialogue qu'elles entretiennent avec la culture anglaise. Connu comme prosateur et critique d'art, Pater se révèle critique littéraire sensible et stimulant, élaborant ses propres conditions de canonicité tout en célébrant la langue anglaise. Les textes présentés et annotés ici sont traduits pour la première fois.

C'est le paradoxe du monument moderne que ce livre se propose d'explorer. À mesure que l'enjeu de l'inscription mémorielle devient idéologiquement plus suspect, le monument se métamorphose, et l'art anglais et américain vient interroger sans relâche, par-delà le rapport à l'Histoire, les enjeux sociaux et environnementaux de la commémoration. Le marbre grec est-il blanc, le toponyme indien laisse-t-il une trace ? Construire ou décrire un monument, est-ce conforter son identité ou subtiliser la mémoire de l'autre ? Peu à peu, l'art et la littérature revisitent, brisent et transfigurent le monumental. Comment définir le monument contemporain, autrement qu'à travers ses échelles variables, du jardin de Finley au labyrinthe d'acier de Richard Serra, installations éphémères et solides à la fois ? D'où cette force proprement poétique du monument, que cette « promenade » permet d'approcher et réévaluer. This book traces the evolution of the concept of monumentality, from straightforward historical inscription to periods when such manifestations become ideologically suspect. Were Greek statues really white? Why keep monuments or Indian toponyms in the United States? Nineteenth-century British and American artists explore the construction of identity, history and nation. Gradually, monuments became landmarks of mutability as much as stability. From books and poems to works of art, twentieth and twenty-first century aesthetics revisit the monumental, from Finley's garden to Richard Serra's labyrinthine iron structures. Shape-shifting, solid yet often ephemeral, installations explore spatial and social interactions, submitting monumentality and commemoration to a welcome and long-overdue reevaluation.

"In analyzing the nonfiction works of writers such as John Wilson, J. S. Mill, De Quincy, Ruskin, Arnold, Pater, and Wilde, Jason Camlot provides an important context for the nineteenth-century critic's changing ideas about style, rhetoric, and technologies of communication. In particular, Camlot contributes to our understanding of how new print media affected the Romantic and Victorian critic's sense of self, as he elaborates the ways nineteenth-century critics used their own essays on rhetoric and stylistics to speculate about the changing conditions for the production and reception of ideas and the formulation of authorial character. Camlot argues that the early 1830s mark the moment when a previously coherent tradition of pragmatic rhetoric was fragmented and redistributed into the diverse, localized sites of an emerging periodicals market. Publishing venues for writers multiplied at midcentury, establishing a new stylistic norm for criticism-one that affirmed style as the manifestation of English discipline and objectivity. The figure of the professional critic soon subsumed the authority of the polyglot intellectual, and the later decades of the nineteenth century brought about a debate on aesthetics and criticism that set ideals of Saxon-rooted 'virile' style against more culturally inclusive theories of expression."--Provided by publisher.

In this study, Mark Parker proposes that literary magazines should be an object of study in their own right. He argues that magazines such as the London Magazine, Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, and the New Monthly Magazine, offered an innovative and collaborative space for writers and their work - indeed, magazines became one of the pre-eminent literary forms of the 1820s and 1830s. Examining the dynamic relationship between literature and culture which evolved within this context, Literary Magazines and British Romanticism claims that writing in such a setting enters into a variety of alliances with other contributions and with ongoing institutional concerns that give subtle inflection to its meaning. The book provides an extended treatment of Lamb's Elia Essays, Hazlitt's Table-Talk Essays, Noctes Ambrosianae, and Carlyle's Sartor Resartus in their original contexts, and should be of interest to scholars of cultural and literary studies as well as Romanticists.

Crossing Cultures brings together scholars in the field of reception and translation studies to chart the individual and institutional agencies that determined the reception of Anglophone authors in the Dutch and Belgian literary fields in the course of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. The essays offer a variety of angles from which nineteenth-century literary dynamics in the Low Countries can be studied. The first two parts discuss the reception of Anglophone literature in the Netherlands and Belgium, respectively, while the third part focuses exclusively on the Dutch translation of women writers.
