Abstract

Cet essai s'intéresse, à travers les œuvres de Cervantès, Flaubert, Tolstoï, Dostoïevski, Proust, Kafka, Gombrowicz, à la façon dont le roman moderne éclaire et explore le présent grâce à la mémoire qu'il a gardée de mondes disparus. Le roman n’est pas seulement, comme on le définit presque toujours, un art du présent et de la nouveauté. Il est aussi un art de la mémoire. En fait, c’est parce qu’il se souvient des mondes anciens et de leurs valeurs qu’il peut prendre acte de ce qui est nouveau. Cet essai s’intéresse à la façon dont le roman, depuis Cervantès, est le témoin des grandes disparitions qui hantent et façonnent la conscience moderne: la disparition du destin d’abord, dont les conséquences n’ont pas fini de s’épuiser, puis celle de l’héroïsme et, à partir du vingtième siècle, la disparition proprement vertigineuse du temps ordonné et de la mémoire elle-même. À partir des œuvres de Flaubert, Tolstoï, Dostoïevski, Proust, Kafka, Gombrowicz, ce livre montre comment le roman moderne, par la mémoire des mondes disparus qui est au coeur de son aventure, éclaire le présent comme aucun autre art n’y parvient.

Abstract

Barbara Foley here focuses on the relatively neglected genre of documentary fiction: novels that are continually near the borderline between factual and fictive discourse. She links the development of the genre over three centuries to the evolution of capitalism, but her analyses of literary texts depart significantly from those of most current Marxist critics. Foley maintains that Marxist theory has yet to produce a satisfactory theory of mimesis or of the development of genres, and she addresses such key issues as the problem of reference and the nature of generic distinctions. Among the authors whom Foley treats are Defoe, Scott, George Eliot, Joyce, Isherwood, Dos Passos, William Wells Brown, Ishmael Reed, and Ernest Gaines.

Abstract

The Spanish romance Cárcel de amor blossomed into a transnational and multilingual phenomenon that captivated audiences throughout Europe at a time when literacy was expanding and print production was changing the nature of reading, writing, and of literature itself. In The Prison of Love, Emily Francomano offers the first comparative study of this sixteenth-century work as a transcultural, humanist fiction. Blending literary analysis and book history, Francomano provides us with the richly textured history of the translations, material books, and artefacts that make this tale of love, letters, and courtly intrigue an invaluable prism through which the multifaceted world of sixteenth-century literary and book cultures are refracted.
