Abstract

At the beginning of a new writing project-whether it's the first page of a new novel or a less ambitious project, writers often experience exhilaration, fear, or dread. For Kristjana Gunnars, the call of a new project is ""like someone you don't know knocking on your door-you either choose to let the person in or not. It's both exciting and dangerous to start a new manuscript."" This book is an engagement with that ""stranger"" called writing. Creative or imaginative writing is a complex process that involves more than intellect alone. Writers make use of everything: their sensibi

Abstract

"L'auteur de cet ouvrage se propose ici d'étudie, à travers quatre écrivains et poètes, Katherine Mansfield, Catherine Pozzi, Anna Kavan et Djuna Barnes les qualités de cette prose poétique dont elle montre comme elle se fonde sur réminiscence et imagination et échappe à toute forme de fixité, s'appuyant sur ce que Proust désigne comme 'cette loi de la vie qui est de recréer l'universel ou éternel, mais seulement dans des individus' et établissant un art de la mémoire comparable à celui qu'élabora Giordano Bruno. Comme chez De Quincey et chez Walter Pater, mémoire et imagination se mêlent en la genèse de la personne, les objets et les instants s'inscrivant au fil du temps sur son esprit palimpseste. Le mouvement de l'esprit ne se borne toutefois pas à celui de la réminiscence, le récit établissant un lien au monde et à autrui en sa propre dimension temporelle, recréation, au présent, de l'unité de l'être, le sentiment parvenant, de façon semblable à ce que décrit Spinoza, à la conscience claire."

Abstract

Turning a skeptical eye on the idea that Renaissance artists were widely believed to be as utterly admirable as Vasari claimed, this book re-opens the question of why artists were praised and by whom, and specifically why the language of divinity was invoked, a practice the ancients did not license. The epithet ''divino'' is examined in the context of claims to liberal arts status and to analogy with poets, musicians, and other ''uomini famossi.'' The reputations of Michelangelo and Brunelleschi are compared not only with each other but with those of Dante and Ariosto, of Aretino and of the ubiquitous beloved of the sonnet tradition. Nineteenth-century reformulations of the idea of Renaissance artistic divinity are treated in the epilogue, and twentieth-century treatments of the idea of artistic "ingegno" in an appendix.
