The power of imagination to construct those mythos which alone, according to Barres, give sense and value to our absurd existence and by which, above all, men are moved to believe and act, was at the centre of his life-long preoccupation with the art of arousing and directing spiritual energy in individuals and groups. This preoccupation appears in every context of his varied career-as novelist, essayist, journalist, orator, self-conscious Egotist, Romantic traveller, anti-Dreyfusard, religious syncretist and pragmatist, and, with Charles Maurras, one of the most influential founders and exponents of modern French nationalism. His great originality among French political writers of the twentieth century is to have consciously applied Baudelaire's 'Queen of Faculties' and the insights of post-Baudelairian Symbolism to the enterprise of committed literature, using a 'picturesque and musical' language of persuasion, 'without logic-chopping, syllogisms and deductions,' such as Baudelaire had first defined in 'Le Confiteor de l'artiste.' Philip Ouston's book traces the development of Barres's ideas concerning the observed 'energetic' and 'constructive' functions of mytho-poetic imagination in the lives of individuals and the government of societies, investigates the techniques of persuasion and figures of rhetoric he evolved for the purpose of maintaining or reawakening the political and religious imagination of his contemporaries, and describes his own imagined world of private and public symbols from Le Culte du Moi to Le Mystere en pleine lumiere. It will revive interest in Barres and answer questions about the nature of imagination and particular modes of imagining-topics that have long been the concern of the New Criticism in North American and France.

"Considering Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector's literature as a case study and a source of theory, Writing by Ear presents an aural theory of the novel based on readings of Near to the Wild Heart (1943), The Besieged City (1949), The Passion According to G.H. (1964), Agua Viva (1973), The Hour of the Star (1977), and A Breath of Life (1978). What is the specific aesthetic for which listening-in-writing calls? What is the relation that listening-in-writing establishes with silence, echo, and the sounds of the world? How are we to understand authorship when writers present themselves as objects of reception rather than subjects of production? In which ways does the robust oral and aural culture of Brazil shape literary genres and forms? In addressing these questions, Writing by Ear works in dialogue with philosophy, psychoanalysis, and sound studies to contemplate the relationship between orality and writing. Citing writers such as Machado de Assis, Oswald de Andrade and Jo[gamma]o Guimar[gamma]es Rosa, as well as Mia Couto and Toni Morrison, Writing By Ear opens up a broader dialogue on listening and literature, considering the aesthetic, ethical, and ecological reverberations of the imaginary. Writing by Ear is concerned at once with shedding light on the narrative representation of listening and with a broader reconceptualization of fiction through listening, considering it an auditory practice that transcends the dichotomy of speech and writing."--

Conceived as a companion volume to his Onomastics of the Song of Roland (2017), Beckmann's eighteen Collected Essays on Old French Epic Poetry presents a multi-faceted panorama about the origins of the ancient chansons de geste. It includes the chansons of Ogier, Roland, William (Guillaume), Saxon epic poetry, the Pilgrimage of Charlemagne and Berthe with the Big Feet, and Renaut de Montauban. Der Band ist vor allem gedacht als companion volume zu Gustav Adolf Beckmanns Onomastik des Rolandsliedes (2017). Wie dort bestimmen auch hier zwei zentrale Aspekte den Großteil des Bildes, doch hier gestreut über die altfranzösische Epik als Gattung: Fragen der Onomastik und solche der Historizität des Dargestellten. Auch hier greifen sie meist sogar ineinander: Personennamen wie Audegarius (+ Oscheri) ~ Oggero Spatacurta ~ Ogier, Malduit der Schatzmeister, (Ricardus) Baligan, Nikephóros ~ Hugue li Forz, Witburg ~ Wigburg ~ Guibourc, Alpais, A(da)lgis (→ Malgis/Amalgis), Toponyme wie Belin, Lucena ~ Luiserne, Worms ~ Garmaise, Dortmund ~ Tremoigne, Esch-sur-Sûre ~ Ascane, Avroy ~ Auridon ~ Oridon ~ Dordone, Pierrepont sowie das doppelte Hydronym Rura ~ Rune und Erunia ~ Rune bringen jeweils ein Stück ihrer aufschlussreichen Geschichte mit sich. Die Texte sind in ihrer ursprünglichen Erscheinungsform belassen, doch sämtlich aus der Forschungsperspektive des Jahres 2018 durchgesehen und, wo nötig, mit einem Postskriptum versehen. So entsteht ein facettenreiches Panorama zur Entstehung der älteren Chansons de geste - von der Ogier-, Rolands-, Wilhelms- und Sachsenepik über Pèlerinage de Charlemagne und Berthe au(x) grand(s) Pied(s) bis zu Renaut de Montauban.
