Abstract

Attesté dans les traductions et les textes, narratifs en moyen français, la proposition participiale frappe par son essor pendant cette époque. La fréquence de la construction n'est pourtant pas uniforme : il y a d'une part une différenciation selon les époques, d'autre part une différenciation selon les œuvres. Qu'est-ce qui pourrait donc expliquer sa fréquence dans les textes ? D'après nos résultats, la relatinisation, par l'intermédiaire de la traduction, affecte la syntaxe, jouant ainsi un rôle dans cette évolution linguistique. Le but de cette étude est également de comprendre la fonction et la structure de la proposition principale. Si la proposition participiale est attestée dans tous les textes, on peut cependant noter une différence importante : la construction ne revêt pas toujours le même caractère autonome dans les textes narratifs que dans les traductions.

Abstract

Fascinating and enigmatic to this day: The Accurata Utopiae Tabula, an anonymous map of Cockaigne accompanied by an explanatory book (thought to be by Schnebelin), inspired the likes of Leibniz and was a popular supplement to atlases around 1700. Extensively embellished with euonyms for its locations, this multimedia ensemble offers a luxurious landscape of vices in addition to its ‘merry discourse of gluttony and boozing’. The multilingual map contains hidden connections to not only fictional worlds, such as the lands of giants in Rabelais and Fischart, but also to such historical realities as the early modern economy of credit. An enjoyable journey of discovery across the borders of different arts and disciplines, guided by the compass of media history. Faszinierend rätselhaft bis heute: Die Accurata Utopiae Tabula, eine anonyme Karte des Schlaraffenlandes samt Erklaerung in Buchform, vielleicht von einem gewissen Schnebelin, hat schon Leibniz bestrickt und war um 1700 als Beigabe zu Atlanten beliebt. Akribisch ausstaffiert mit sprechenden Ortsnamen, bietet das multimediale Ensemble nebst »lustigem Freß- oder Sauff-Discurs« eine luxuriöse Landschaft der Laster. Die mehrsprachige Wortschatzkarte unterhält versteckte Verbindungen zu fiktiven Welten wie dem Riesenreich Rabelais’ bzw. Fischarts, aber auch zu Wirklichkeiten wie der frühneuzeitlichen Ökonomie des Kredits. Eine vergnügliche Entdeckungsreise mit mediengeschichtlichem Kompass über die Grenzen der Künste und Disziplinen hinweg.

Abstract

Arguing that the comic is a quality of literary works of art in other forms as well as comedy, George McFadden finds its essence in the maintenance of some literary feature--a situation, a character--as itself despite threats to alter it.Originally published in 1982.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Although Renaissance scholars generally agree that Della Porta was the finest comic playwright of his generation in Italy, no detailed analysis of these plays and of their considerable influence outside Italy has previously appeared. One of the most famous men of his time in the field of scientific investigation, Della Porta wrote plays for relaxation and, on occasion, to camouflage controversial aspects of his scientific research from the Inquisitions. Today his works in science are largely forgotten and his right to fame rests on the plays. This book brings together the available facts of Della Porta's rich and often mysterious life and closely examines his dramatic works as part of the Italian literary scene in late Renaissance. Originally published in 1965.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Abstract

The story of modernity told through a cultural history of twentieth-century PragueSetting out to recover the roots of modernity in the boulevards, interiors, and arcades of the "city of light," Walter Benjamin dubbed Paris "the capital of the nineteenth century." In this eagerly anticipated sequel to his acclaimed Coasts of Bohemia: A Czech History, Derek Sayer argues that Prague could well be seen as the capital of the much darker twentieth century. Ranging across twentieth-century Prague's astonishingly vibrant and always surprising human landscape, this richly illustrated cultural history describes how the city has experienced (and suffered) more ways of being modern than perhaps any other metropolis.Located at the crossroads of struggles between democratic, communist, and fascist visions of the modern world, twentieth-century Prague witnessed revolutions and invasions, national liberation and ethnic cleansing, the Holocaust, show trials, and snuffed-out dreams of "socialism with a human face." Yet between the wars, when Prague was the capital of Europe's most easterly parliamentary democracy, it was also a hotbed of artistic and architectural modernism, and a center of surrealism second only to Paris.Focusing on these years, Sayer explores Prague's spectacular modern buildings, monuments, paintings, books, films, operas, exhibitions, and much more. A place where the utopian fantasies of the century repeatedly unraveled, Prague was tailor-made for surrealist André Breton's "black humor," and Sayer discusses the way the city produced unrivaled connoisseurs of grim comedy, from Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Hasek to Milan Kundera and Václav Havel. A masterful and unforgettable account of a city where an idling flaneur could just as easily be a secret policeman, this book vividly shows why Prague can teach us so much about the twentieth century and what made us who we are.

Abstract

Despite his protests, Anne Gilchrist, distinguished woman of letters, moved her entire household from London to Philadelphia in an effort to marry him. John Addington Symonds, historian and theorist of sexual inversion, sent him avid fan mail for twenty years. And volunteer assistant Horace Traubel kept a record of their daily conversations, producing a nine-volume compilation. Who could inspire so much devotion? Worshipping Walt is the first book on the Whitman disciples--the fascinating, eclectic group of nineteenth-century men and women who regarded Walt Whitman not simply as a poet but as a religious prophet. Long before Whitman was established in the canon of American poetry, feminists, socialists, spiritual seekers, and supporters of same-sex passion saw him as an enlightened figure who fulfilled their religious, political, and erotic yearnings. To his disciples Whitman was variously an ideal husband, radical lover, socialist icon, or bohemian saint. In this transatlantic group biography, Michael Robertson explores the highly charged connections between Whitman and his followers, including Canadian psychiatrist R. M. Bucke, American nature writer John Burroughs, British activist Edward Carpenter, and the notorious Oscar Wilde. Despite their particular needs, they all viewed Whitman as the author of a new poetic scripture and prophet of a modern liberal spirituality.Worshipping Walt presents a colorful portrait of an era of intense religious, political, and sexual passions, shedding new light on why Whitman's work continues to appeal to so many.
