Si l'année 1821 voit disparaître un géant de l’histoire en la personne de Napoléon, elle en voit aussi naître deux, en littérature : Charles Baudelaire et Gustave Flaubert. Le premier deviendra le poète phare de la modernité, qui irriguera les veines de maints courants ultérieurs (décadentisme, symbolisme, etc.) ; le second incarnera, au XIXe siècle, le modèle du romancier styliste, travailleur inlassable du Verbe. Le scandale les réunira en 1857 sur les bancs de la Correctionnelle, quand il s’agira de juger de la moralité des Fleurs du Mal et de Madame Bovary. Tous deux rêvèrent d’Orient et furent assoiffés d’idéal. Tous deux partirent, chacun à sa façon, en croisade solitaire contre la Bêtise de leurs contemporains. Tous deux disparurent en laissant derrière eux une œuvre majeure, mais suspendue dans l’inachèvement, qu’il s’agisse du chantier polémique inspiré par le séjour de Baudelaire dans une Belgique honnie ou l’anti-encyclopédie satirique et « hénaurme » Bouvard et Pécuchet. À travers des éclairages variés et souvent inattendus, notre dossier envisage en miroir ces deux personnalités hors norme et questionne de conserve la démesure de leur génie afin de savoir pourquoi, aujourd’hui plus que jamais, nous avons encore à nous y ressourcer

Flaubert, Gustave --- Baudelaire, Charles

This book considers the historical and cultural origins of the gut-brain relationship now evidenced in numerous scientific research fields. Bringing together eleven scholars with wide interdisciplinary expertise, the volume examines literal and metaphorical digestion in different spheres of nineteenth-century life. Digestive health is examined in three sections in relation to science, politics and literature during the period, focusing on Northern America, Europe and Australia. Using diverse methodologies, the essays demonstrate that the long nineteenth century was an important moment in the Western understanding and perception of the gastroenterological system and its relation to the mind in the sense of cognition, mental wellbeing, and the emotions. This collection explores how medical breakthroughs are often historically preceded by intuitive models imagined throughout a range of cultural productions. .

This volume examines the anxieties that caused many nineteenth-century writers to insist on literature as a laboured and labouring enterprise. Following Isaac D’Israeli’s gloss on Jean de La Bruyère, it asks, in particular, whether writing should be ‘called working’. Whereas previous studies have focused on national literatures in isolation, this volume demonstrates the two-way traffic between British and French conceptions of literary labour. It questions assumed areas of affinity and difference, beginning with the labour politics of the early nineteenth century and their common root in the French Revolution. It also scrutinises the received view of France as a source of a ‘leisure ethic’, and of British writers as either rejecting or self-consciously mimicking French models. Individual essays consider examples of how different writers approached their work, while also evoking a broader notion of ‘work ethics’, understood as a humane practice, whereby values, benefits, and responsibilities, are weighed up.
