Peripheries of Nineteenth-century French Studies
The French nineteenth century came to its full fruition only recently, herald and instigator as it was of some of the most important developments of the twentieth century. This volume offers a wide-ranging selection of scholarly approaches to the works of the French nineteenth century, articles that show how pertinent the texts of that moment are to an understanding of our own modernity.
The Simplest of Signs
"Raser's approach is of necessity interdisciplinary: to show how Hugo defines the genre of art criticism, he must take into account the influences, recurrent themes, and references that are used by literary historians. Since, however, the texts discussed frequently refer to drawings, engravings, or paintings, the formal analyses of art history also come into play. Further, since the works described are invariably discussed in terms of their "beauty," aesthetics and beyond it, the twentieth-century critique of nineteenth-century aesthetics, are used."--Jacket.

The 'outrage [ou]s'
A study of late 19th century Irish political cartoons that addressed nationalist issues of land ownership, censorship of the press, and legislative relations between Ireland and England. Through mass media, the "types" Pat Murphy and Erin reached a broad citizenry and embodied the needs of the tenant class, while complementing other visual approaches of the period, such as pantomime and farce, 'high' art and popular art, the fantastic, Shakespearean loyalty, Faustian allusions, Swiftian appropriations, nursery rhymes, anthropomorphic narratives, and the heroic construction.
