Full textThe representation of female sexual desire in the novel of manners of the second half of the 19th century raises critical issues – it highlights the paradoxes at play in the second half of the 19th century, torn between contradictory representations of women, as either sexually haunted creatures or virgin mothers ; it informs us about the construction of masculine and feminine gender roles ; it makes us reflect on the scandals, past and present, caused by the desiring female body and the gaze cast upon it ; it interrogates the poetics of this literary genre as well as its claims to objectivity. The ambition of the novels analysed here is a comprehensive account of reality, with a claim to scientific rationality. And yet, when they deal with female desire, they indulge in a form of stylistic veiling that requires the reader to unpack the meaning. The purpose of this thesis was to analyse this veil of words covering female bodies, in order to lay bare the mechanisms behind the mendacity. The socio-critical method makes it possible to show the interactions between the novels and the various social discourses of their time – medical, religious, legal or even pedagogical – and thus to reveal a complex and coherent social imagery of female desire, whose stereotypes the novel both upholds and thwarts. In literary texts, scientific theories morph into poetic material, and double entendre becomes an art. These oblique erotic representations turn the descriptions of female desire into a minefield of innuendo, mostly developed by and for men. Some novels, however, already make room for a female voice and gaze of desire, sometimes even beyond gender

Full textThe child imposes his presence in french literature around 1850. Ostentious or reserved, this new character becomes an indissociable actor of the storyline. Progressively the classification by types (the orphan, the battered child, the abandoned child, the schoolboy, the kid. . . ) gives place to descriptions of "individual cases" which draw their inspiration from the writer's own experience. The various aesthetics combine to develop a semiotics giving information about the social consideration of the child during the second part of the nineteenth century ; at the same time, they begin to influence, through the significance they grant to this character, on his condition in life

Full textThis dissertation explores the modem city in american novels (1870-1920). Fictional representations of new york, chicago and san francisco are analyzed in contrast to a european model: paris. As the modem city develops in the nineteenth century, both in france and the united states, novelists describe the impact of the city on individual and collective destinies and reflect on the future of humanity in the urban environment. The study focuses on novels by frank norris, theodore dreiser, edith wharton, f. Scott fitzgerald, john dos passes, honore de balzac, emile zola, gustave flaubert and louisferdinand celine. The methodology applies on multiple levels of analysis: involving historical and cultural, socio-economical, philosophical and aesthetic approaches. Capitalism, industrialization and population growth characterize the modem city. Despite similarities between the american megalopolis ' in the making' and paris, literary representations diverge. The american attitude toward the city is complex as it contains european, puritan and agrarian overtones. Conversely, the french perspectives reiterate the myth of paris. The first part analyzes the material aspects of the city and how they affect identity. The second part discusses aesthetics and the treatment of creative energies in the city. Confronted with an increasingly mechanized and alienating city, the future of human creativity and imagination captures the novelists' interest and gives birth to distorted figures

Full textThe end of the xixth century saw, in france, a spectacular expansion of the novel/the thesis presented here studies the picture that these novels give of the child, previously neglected in fiction, especially when it was written for adult readers, and defines new patterns of characterization involving a certain number of choices and narrative techniques. These novels embody many stereotypes which express particular social situations but also aim at touching the reader's heart. The period puts a new emphasis on the body, with its activity, its pains, its pleasures. The mental life of the child, too, becomes worthy of interest : inspired by the social sciences, novelists hint at the existence of the unconscious, the child gains in depth and mystery. The social background also helps to define the child character by setting around him limits which he may observe or transgress ; his life is presented as material or moral progress towards maturity. As he is subjected to influences that contribute to his education, the child in novels is confronted with a series of initiation scenes which enable him to discover life and to win his own place in society. A great difference appears among the various types of novel : whereas works for the youthful public and popular stories present a child undergoing little change and easily fitting into society, more demanding novels use the child figure to question established values. The decline, during the period 1876-1890, of a type of hero endowed with every virtue, heralds a psychological and aesthetic crisis which can be seen in contemporary literature and makes a transition to the xxth century novel, where the adolescent figure becomes a vehicle for calling the world into question

Full textInthe contemporary french novel, rome is the archetypical city of paradox. The authors' treatments of it point out its antagonisms, its uncertainties, its contradictions. In fact, an evocation of time, for them, is a review of centuries past, but also of the present epoch, unification, fascism, because rome reveals itself as a veritable palimp sest on which one can read the city's multifold histories: the past blends constantly, and identifies itself, with the present. City that they ancher in space seems to exist as multiplicity. The portrait of a three-faced city emerges from their works. It's a profile of three more or less well defined universes: antiquity catholicism, modern times. Their analysis prompts one to retain the epithet baroque as one of the city's prime descriptions. For these authors, rome is the city of the baroque age, but especially the city where present and past, the profane and the sacred, beauty and ugliness shadow and light, the capital and the provincial all exist side by side their interpretation of myths suggests two constants: the she-wolf, the association roma amor. Myths that embody decadence replace the representation born of triumphalist legends. In the sense, by the same token, the anagramme becomes phonetic: unfulfille

Full textThe realist novel which dominates 19th century literature has set itself the objective of writing the history of social customs and practice. The political world is one of the themes it tackles and this study questions its representation during a period (1815-1914) which is characterized by major institutional instability and many crises. Through the image which is projected of the actors (leaders, opponents, crowds, "public opinion"), of the places, the intrigues, the rituals, the significant historical events (revolutions, affairs) multiple tensions emerge: competition between the novelist and his characters, hesitations between the functions of writer and politician, difficulties in respecting aesthetic presuppositions with the hero’s return to favour, the reintroduction of the "novelistic" format and the use of a mannered style (symbols, metaphors). As regards the "documentary objectivity", it is often damaged by authors who venture "to take sides"

Full textAround 1850, french novels put great emphasis ou weak-willed characters. Lacking any unity, deprived of any centre and broken-up, these characters were not able to act effectively and in a constructive way. The birth of this kind of character in the middle of the xixth century had a considerable impact on the evolution of the aesthetics of the works of fiction

Full textThis study relates the rise of the French detective novel from late Second Empire to the First World War. It springs up in the judicial novels of Emile Gaboriau (1836-1873), the “father of French detective novel” and of his imitators, unrecognized novelists of the Second Empire and the Third Republic. It ends up with the first great cycles of detective adventures in the Belle Epoque, Arsene Lupin’s ones, written by Maurice Leblanc, and Rouletabille’s by Gaston Leroux. First, the research singles out the historical, literary and social factors which favoured the emergence of this genre: the popular press and serial novel development, the public’s rising interest for criminal topics and the evolution of police methods. It shows how appeared and progressively came into practice a new kind of novel, based on the actions of the character of the detective and on the process of piecing together the crime scenario. Second, the study puts the detective novel back in its connections with the contemporary world and emphasizes the wealth of its content. 19th century detective novels possess a realist vocation and tend to be similar to documents about the functioning of institutions and the rules of society. Their themes reveal the fears and the astonishment of the contemporaries who experienced the deep mutations of the industrial and urban civilization as a trauma and wondered about their consequences. Detective novels mirror the fears of a society who faces new dangers, but they either reflect its hopes, based upon the scientific and technical progress

Full textAfter having been vilified from the renaissance up until the eighteenth century, the middle ages became a choice topic for the romantics. Popular literature took over medieval subjects and, influenced by Walter Scott, by the gothic novel or by texts taken from the "bibliothèque bleue de Troyes" (pedlary literature), offered to its readers a picture of the middle ages quite different from the affected one proposed by the "genre troubadour". Giving form to this rediscovered national past is rendered by redundant form sense elements, true icons that are clues to a codified spatiality and temporaneousness. A reflection on history or a political discourse can occur. Moreover, the craving of the popular novel for manichaeism and hyperbole promotes the creation of a true myth, which responds to a social desire of reappropriation of the origins : the later denunciation of the stereotypes will not affect this myth which still today sends us back to some of our frustrations in a society where the "acceleration of history" makes us suffer a feeling of loss and induces within us the nostalgia of a coherent and stable civilization, ritualized and reassuring
