Abstract

Explosive Narratives: Terrorism and Anarchy in the Works of Emile Zola explores the genealogy of modern day terrorism through a close study of the anarchist figure in three of Emile Zola’s novels: Germinal , Paris , and Travail . The study links the crisis of representation registered at the end of the 19th century with the rise of terrorism embodied in the bomb-throwing anarchist. It thereby traces Zola’s evolving thoughts on anarchy from the terrorist to the humanitarian reformer, from class warfare to a peaceful artisan commune, from a naturalist depiction of an elusive reality to a utopian writing fleeing the contingencies of the historical. The volume brings together aesthetic, political, urban, and scientific debates of Belle Epoque France and it will thus be of great interest not only to Zola scholars, but also to students of late 19th-century politics and art.

Abstract

Zola scholars and those whose work in other fields—literary, historical, sociological, or artistic—brings them into contact with Zola and his works have long felt the need for a survey for the large corpus of writings on this important, widely read author. This bibliography provides just such a survey, admirably complete and intelligently organized. Aided in his research by several collaborators and by a number of libraries throughout the world, David Baguley has compiled some 8000 items covering the period from the first reviews of Zola’s early works to 1970. Although his work does not pretend to be exhaustive, it contains extensive coverage of studies in English, German, Polish, and Spanish, as well as French, as essential items in many other languages. The entries are arranged chronologically by years and, within each year, alphabetically by author. An introduction outlines aims, principles, and uses. Researchers will also find helpful the list of unpublished theses on Zola from various countries, the index of authors’ names and names appearing in titles and notes, and the index of themes. The latter uses the number assigned to each of the entries to facilitate speedy location of materials on particular topics—e.g. Germinal studies, Zola and the theatre, the Dreyfus case, and so on. Wherever appropriate, annotation has been provided that indicates the language, content, importance, and viewpoint of the items. This bibliography will be an indispensable reference guide for Zola scholarship.

Abstract

"Filmmakers have drawn inspiration from the p. of Emile Zola from the earliest days of cinema. The ever-growing number of adaptations they have produced spans eras, genres, languages, and styles. In spite of the diversity of these approaches, numerous critics regard them as inferior copies of a superior textual original. But key novels by Zola resist this critical approach to adaptation. Both at the level of characterization and in terms of their own textual inheritance, they question the very possibility of origin, be it personal or textual. In the light of this questioning, the cinematic versions created from Zolas texts merit critical re-evaluation. Far from being facile copies of the nineteenth-century novelists works, these films assess their own status as adaptations, playing with both notions of artistic creation and their own artistic act. Kate Griffiths is a lecturer in French at Swansea University."

Abstract

"On 19 July 1898, Emile Zola arrived in England after fleeing imprisonment in France. He was to spend eleven months in self-imposed exile because of his involvement in the Dreyfus affair. While in Britain, Zola wrote a short text entitled 'Pages d'exil, ' in which he talked about his feelings regarding England, exile, and other matters. During this time, the family of his English translator, Ernest Alfred Vizetelly, took care of his everyday needs. An avid photographer, Zola took pictures of his surroundings that were left with the Vizetelly family when he returned to France." "Dorothy Speirs and Yannick Portebois, in collaboration with Ernest Alfred Vizetelly's last surviving grandson, have here reproduced those photographs with the first English translation, fully annotated, of 'Pages d'exil.' The photographs, of landscapes, churches, and street scenes, have never been published before, and represent a major contribution to the collection of Zola photographs, many of which are today largely inaccessible. Together, the text and photographs will be of great interest to anyone who enjoys Zola's work, and to scholars of French history and the Dreyfus affair."--Jacket.

Abstract

Zola's masterpiece of working life, Germinal (1885), exposes the inhuman conditions of miners in northern France in the 1860's. By Zola's death in 1902 it had come to symbolize the call for freedom from oppression so forcefully that the crowd which gathered at his State funeral chanted ""Germinal! Germinal!"" While it is a dramatic novel of working life and everyday relationships, Germinal is also a complex novel of ideas, given fresh vigor and power in this new translation. It is also the thirteenth book in the Rougon-Macquart cycle, which celebrates its centenary in October 1993.
