Born in 1876, Natalie Barney-beautiful, charismatic, brilliant and wealthy-was expected to marry well and lead the conventional life of a privileged society woman. But Natalie had no interest in marriage and made no secret of the fact that she was attracted to women. Brought up by a talented and rebellious mother-the painter Alice Barney-Natalie cultivated an interest in poetry and the arts. When she moved to Paris in the early 1900s, she plunged into the city's literary scene, opening a famed Left Bank literary salon and engaging in a string of scandalous affairs with courtesan Liane de Pougy, poet Renee Vivien, and painter Romaine Brooks, among others. For the rest of her long and controversial life Natalie Barney was revered by writers for her generous, eccentric spirit and reviled by high society for her sexual appetite. In the end, she served as an inspiration and came to know many of the greatest names of 20th century arts and letters-including Proust, Colette, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Isadora Duncan, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and Truman Capote.A dazzling literary biography, Wild Heart: A Life is a story of a woman who has been an icon to many. Set against the backdrop of two different societies-Victorian America and Belle Epoque Europe-Wild Heart: A Life beautifully captures the richness of their lore.

Cet ouvrage représente la première collection d'articles critiques en langue française sur des œuvres publiées en France par de nouvelles écrivaines au cours des années 90. Le regroupement de ces auteures dans ce volume - Christine Angot, Geneviève Brisac, Marie Darrieussecq, Agnès Desarthe, Virginie Despentes, Régine Detambel, Anne Françoise Garréta, Louise Lambrichs, Linda Lê, Hélène de Monferrand, Lorette Nobécourt, Amélie Nothomb, Lydie Salvayre, Yasmina Reza et Pascale Roze - permet de présenter un riche éventail de la création littéraire féminine actuelle. Peut-on véritablement parler d'une nouvelle génération d'écrivaines, comme ont pu le suggérer certain-e-s ? C'est la question soulevée dans l'introduction, qui analyse dans un premier temps la relative inégalité qui frappe encore les écrivaines dans le monde des lettres, avant d'évaluer comment leurs oeuvres s'inscrivent dans l'histoire littéraire contemporaine et comment elles se situent par rapport aux écrits des femmes de la génération précédente. Ce livre s'adressera à tous ceux et toutes celles, élèves, étudiant-e-s, enseignant-e-s, qui s'intéressent d'une part aux développements du roman contemporain, et d'autre part à la contribution des femmes à la culture française. Il pourra aussi servir d'ouvrage de référence pour des recherches plus approfondies sur une ou plusieurs des auteures figurant dans ce volume, et sera un outil très utile dans l'exercice de littérature comparée.
