All the Abbé's Women

One of the most striking aspects of abbé d'Aubignac's fictional output is that the principal focus of his work is women. D'Aubignac's attempt to articulate his philosophy about the female sex is very much an intricate balancing act. While he is clearly interested in women, placing them on a pedestal in many of his writings, the abbé imposes limitations on their perceived innate qualities and often embraces the notion of the female as a societal scapegoat. All the Abbé's Women explores how these ideas were influenced by the socio-political conditions of d'Aubignac's time, resulting in a complex interrelationship between the notions of power and misogyny in the author's fictional and critical works. The study also aims to contribute to the scholarship on d'Aubignac, painting a portrait of the abbé that has not been the focus of previous books. The work will appeal to students of French literature, gender studies and the cultural history of Early Modern France.

Jean Magnon. Théâtre complet

Ce travail est la première édition critique du théâtre complet de Jean Magnon. De nos jours, on a tendance à considérer cet auteur comme un dramaturge mineur du dix-septième siècle qui était l'un des amis de Molière et qui mourut assassiné. Cette édition critique a pour fonction de rendre les huit pièces de Magnon plus facilement accessibles et d'offrir des explications et des commentaires afin de faciliter leur lecture. De plus, une meilleure connaissance de ces oeuvres éclaircira notre compréhension d'un homme qui jouit en son temps d'une solide réputation littéraire. Les pièces sont présentées par ordre chronologique selon la date de publication. L'édition comporte une introduction et près de sept cents notes.

Jean Chapelain et la querelle de La Pucelle

Ce travail est la première édition critique de lensemble des écrits principaux qui constituent ce que nous appelons " la querelle de La Pucelle ". La valeur historique de ces textes est incontestable. Le libelle de François Payot de Lignières et celui dHyppolite-Jules Pilet de la Mesnardière contre le poème épique - tant attendu - de Chapelain soulignèrent lécart entre le battage orchestré avant la publication de La Pucelle et la véritable valeur de luvre. Ces écrits nont jamais été republiés depuis leur première parution, jusquà maintenant. Cela est également vrai pour la réponse de Jean de Montigny au libelle de Lignières. Les seuls exemplaires connus de la réponse de...

French Seventeenth-century Literature

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2009

  • Publisher: Peter Lang

This volume of essays explores influences from Antiquity onwards that shaped the literary and cultural output of the French seventeenth century and the developments to which this period - the so-called 'classical' period - gave rise in later centuries. The thirteen essays in English and French cover three major areas: the continuation in French seventeenth-century literature and cultural events of themes found in previous centuries; internal changes within the body of writings by French seventeenth-century playwrights; the influence of seventeenth-century French writers on later centuries. The collection celebrates the life and scholarly achievements of the eminent dix-septiémiste Christopher J. Gossip, Emeritus Professor of French, University of New England, Australia.

Guillaume Colletet. Cyminde ou les deux victimes (1642)

Composée à l'instigation de Richelieu, Cyminde ou les deux victimes (1642) est la seule pièce de théâtre à auteur unique de Guillaume Colletet, l'un des premiers membres de l'Académie francaise et l'un des > choisis par le cardinal pour collaborer à la composition d'ouvrages dramatiques. Bien que l'oeuvre soit l'adaptation en vers d'une pièce en prose de l'abbé d'Aubignac, elle subit une transformation sous la plume de Colletet, le poète se donnant carte blanche pour la création du dialogue. Le travail est la première édition critique de la pièce. Ce livre a pour but de rendre cette oeuvre plus facilement accessible et d'offrir des explications et des commentaires afin de faciliter sa lecture. L'édition permettra une meilleure connaissance de Colletet, connu surtout pour ses poésies, dans sa brève carrière de dramaturge. L'édition comporte une introduction et près de 300 notes. Une analyse critique, en des Observations, tente à rendre à cette pièce sa valeur dramatique et historique.
