Abstract

Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon (1786-1864) is, without a doubt, a true giant of the popular literature of the first half of the 19th century. As one of the most prolific authors of his time, he knew how to adapt to the literary tastes of the public from the end of the Napoleonic era until the fall of the July Monarchy. Firstly, the present study outlines the biography of this now largely forgotten writer, a key factor for understanding his literary career, and it gives an overview of his work. At the beginning of the first chapter, particular emphasis is put on the diary of Lamothe-Langon dating from 1809. Later in the chapter, the reception of Lamothe-Langon’s novels in the press of time and his literary posterity are examined. The following chapter focuses on the analysis of the paratext, an essential factor shedding light on many otherwise hidden aspects of the chosen corpus consisting of the eleven novels of Lamothe-Langon belonging to the Gothic genre. The third part of the book is devoted to the dark but fascinating universe of Lamothe-Langon’s novelistic world characterized by a highly heterogeneous assortment of characters in a spatio-temporal framework defined by a whole range of diverse phenomena proper to the world of Gothic fiction. Finally, an important aspect of the novels belonging to the corpus, namely their hybridity, both formal and generic, is thoroughly examined taking into consideration the intrinsic correlation existing between the analyzed novels and the dominant genres of their period, such as the Gothic fiction, the fantastique, the sentimental novel and the historical novel.

Abstract

This volume offers a selection of critical essays on texts that can be broadly categorized as popular literature. The essays are inclined to question the idea of 'the Canon' and re-consider the divide between the canonical and the popular. As such, besides engaging in a serious critical reading of typical popular literary texts like The Jungle Book and The Hound of the Baskervilles, the book also considers populist tendencies in literary classics like Jane Eyre and Frankenstein. It will be of interest to young scholars and readers of popular literature, science fiction, detective fiction, genre studies, and culture studies.

Abstract

In diesem Band wird die Bedeutung des Populären für die deutsche Literatur, Kultur und Sprache in seiner Vielschichtigkeit analysiert. Popularität ist ein Begriff, der nicht nur die Literatur- und Kunstschaffenden, die Intellektuellen und Wissenschaftler beschäftigt (man denke z. B. an das Gegensatzpaar elitäre Kultur und populäre Kultur), sondern auch ein Stichwort, das für Historiker, für Kultur-, Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaftler gleichermaßen relevant ist. Im Zentrum dieses interdisziplinären Bandes stehen die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen dem Populären und dem, was sich von dem Populären abzusetzen sucht (Stichworte: E-Kultur vs. U-Kultur, Trivialliteratur vs. hermetische Literatur, Hochsprache vs. Umgangssprache, Subvertierung der Hochsprache).

Abstract

"" Le coeur de Simon migrait dans un autre endroit du pays, ses reins, son foie et ses poumons gagnaient d'autres provinces, ils filaient vers d'autres corps. " Réparer les vivants est le roman d'une transplantation cardiaque. Telle une chanson de geste, il tisse les présences et les espaces, les voix et les actes qui vont se relayer en vingt-quatre heures exactement. Roman de tension et de patience, d'accélérations paniques et de pauses méditatives, il trace une aventure métaphysique, à la fois collective et intime, où le coeur, au-delà de sa fonction organique, demeure le siège des affects et le symbole de l'amour. Ce roman a reçu dix prix littéraires parmi lesquels le prix du Roman des étudiants France Culture Télérarna2014,Ie Grand Prix RTL Lire 2014, le prix des lecteurs L'Express BFMTV 2014 et le prix Relay des Voyageurs 2014 avec Europe 1."-- back cover.
