Career Stories
In Career Stories, Juliette Rogers considers a body of largely unexamined novels from the Belle Époque that defy the usual categories allowed the female protagonist of the period. While most literary studies of the Belle Époque (1880–1914) focus on the conventional housewife or harlot distinction for female protagonists, the heroines investigated in Career Stories are professional lawyers, doctors, teachers, writers, archeologists, and scientists. In addition to the one well-known woman writer from the Belle Époque, Colette, this study will expand our knowledge of relatively unknown authors, including Gabrielle Reval, Marcelle Tinayre, and Colette Yver, who actively participated in cont...
The Palgrave Literary Dictionary of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
This volume considers the work and life of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851). It looks not only at Frankenstein and its composition, sources, themes and reception but at the wide range of other work by Shelley including such novels as The Last Man and Mathilda and her tales, reviews, travel writing and the (until recently neglected) Literary Lives of Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and French writers. There are detailed entries on her personal and/or literary relationship with her parents Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, Byron, Coleridge and Claire Clairmont; on her religion, feminism, politics, relation to Romanticism, portraits and representation in drama, film and television; and on the influence of her work on such writers as Poe, Elizabeth Gaskell, the Brontës, Dickens and H.G. Wells.

La science et le monde moderne d'Alfred North Whitehead?
The second international Chromatiques whiteheadiennes conference was devoted exclusively to the exegesis and contextualization of Whitehead's Science and the Modern World (1925). In order to elucidate the meaning and significance of this epoch-making work, the Proceedings are designed to form "companion" volume. With one paper devoted to each of its thirteen chapters, the Proceedings aim, on the one hand, to identify the specific contribution of each chapter to Whitehead's own research program - that is to say, to put its categories into perspective by means of an internal analysis- and, on the other hand, to identify its global impact in the history of ideas.

Frankenstein, une biographie
À la fin du roman de Mary Shelley, le monstre disparaît, emporté par un radeau de glace. Il avait promis, ayant causé la mort de son créateur et de ses proches, de s'immoler sur un bûcher funéraire. Mais la fin ouverte du roman lui permet de s'émanciper de son créateur Frankenstein tout comme de la romancière Mary Shelley...Depuis, libéré de toute emprise, le monstre n'a cessé d'errer de roman en pièce de théâtre, de pièce de théâtre en adaptation cinématographique, d'adaptation cinématographique en bande dessinée ou en jeu vidéo.La créature de Frankenstein existe. Née des pouvoirs de la science, elle hante notre culture et pulvérise la séparation entre le réel et l'imaginaire. Jusque dans les avancées scientifiques les plus récentes, nous ne cessons de la rencontrer. Elle résume la tentation des temps actuels : dépasser les limites que nous assigne notre condition d'êtres humains.Une biographie qui raconte la prodigieuse métamorphose du monstre en son créateur, son évasion du domaine de la fiction et son errance dévastatrice dans notre quotidien.
