Повний текст джерелаThese poems anticipate Wordsworth's presentation of reading as the "art of admiration" in the "Essay, Supplementary" to the 1815 Poems, and indicate a sustained search for alternatives and correctives to detached investigative approaches to the aesthetic experience. Attempting to reconcile the extremes of the credulous or fanciful response, reflecting a childlike desire to be free from all constraints, and the analytical response, fuelled by perceptions of contrast between poetic illusion and reality, Wordsworth's criticism and poetry depict the reader as the"auxiliar" of poetic genius. The purpose, traditionally undermined by critics as peremptory and egotistical, was to challenge readers to examine their basic motives in seeking poetic pleasure.

Повний текст джерелаThe following study is a Freudian reading of Wordsworth's spots of time in their various stages of revision. The Introduction to this study addresses some of the problems of interpretation. Chapter One places a Freudian reading of Wordsworth within the context of previous scholarship. Chapter Two is a close reading of the earliest spots of time as informed by Oedipal memories. Chapter Three examines Wordsworth's attempt, through revision, to repress these Oedipal memories.

Повний текст джерелаMaupassant's six novels mark various stages in this trajectory. The primal novel Une vie establishes the problematics of the maternal dominion. In Bel-Ami can be seen the formation of the matrix of identity, which coincides with the emergence of the son-subject. The two central novels, Mont-Oriol and Pierre et Jean, illustrate the traumatic experience of paternity and filiation; the latter novel shows the relinquishment of narcissistic defense mechanism. Subsequently, in Fort comme la mort, the repressed narcissistic wound can be analysed. With the final novel, Notre coeur, the son-subject achieves the father position, thus escaping the madness associated with the double-bind of the ambivalent mother.
Previous criticism devoted to the works of Guy de Maupassant has focussed on the thematic obsession of paternity and filiation. This thesis sets out to demonstrate that this obsession is also the very principle driving the engenderment of the novel.

Повний текст джерелаA better grasp of the plot's central role leads the reader to discover legal criminality, since the narrative structure restores order between fable (intricacy of the crime story) and discourse (invention of crime as an enigma). To relate circumstances leading to the solution of wealth enigmas, Balzac exploits enigma games as an essence of orality, thus giving his fiction the style of a conversational game. Furthermore, he uses a diversity of characters and narrative processes to create uncertainties, suggest clues, denounce inconsistencies.
The balzacian literary universe exploits the classical poetics of enigma, developing the enigma from a well-known fact: enrichment by criminal means is an open secret. The point of distinction between Balzac's enigmas and other novels is that they do not really aim at elucidating a mystifying crime, such as in Edgar Allan Poe's novels, but rather at revealing the subtle art of deception. Balzacian "intellectuals", criminals of a new kind, know how to evade the law and take advantage of its loopholes. The narrators, wishing to satisfy the readers' wish to know "the chemical process for oil burning in Aladdin's lamp", must not only specialize their narrative structure to achieve this goal, but also trick the readers into keeping interested in stories which must seem ever more captivating as they become more meaningless.
Set between Vidocq's loitering and Dupin's readings, between a spy's memory tracking and a detective's syllogistic intelligence, the dramaturgy of "Faits divers", in the world of Balzac, does not condone nor condemn any of these manifestations of enigma, as it is first and foremost a narrative adventure.

Повний текст джерелаWhat is most striking in Maupassant's narratives is precisely his rejection of the fantastic almost as soon as it occurs. Contrary to the more traditional literature of the fantastic, his narratives remain anchored in a realistic world, rendering the reader's experience even more unsettling. In a sense, Maupassant manages to tame the fantastic by normalizing it.
We intend, therefore, to position our work at the meeting point of these two concepts---realism and fantasy---in order to determine if the definition of "fantastic realism" we will be striving for can be verified through our analysis of the following stories: "Apparition", "La chevelure", "Le Horla" (first version), "La main", "La peur", "Magnetisme" and "Sur 1'eau".

In the dissertation On the form and principles of the sensible and the intelligible world, Immanuel Kant formulates for the first time the thesis that was considered the mark of his critical turn: the thesis that time (and space) is ideal. In the same year, two of his most influential contemporaries objected to one of the central points of the newly formulated theory: Johann Heinrich Lambert and Moses Mendelssohn could not accept that time was unreal. Almost a century later, Adolf Trendelenburg formulated an important critique that shaped the way that the "Transcendental Aesthetics" would be read by the interpreters of Kant's philosophy. The purpose of this work is to discuss Kant's philosophy of time in the light of these objections and to evaluate if Kant’s main thesis concerning the nature of time is sustainable. For this, three points need to be discussed: (i) the thesis of the unreality of time in 1770 and the objections presented that year; (ii) Kant's reception of these objections and possible changes in the doctrine presented in the mature text of the Critique of Pure Reason and; (iii) the degree of sustainability of the Kantian philosophy of time in confrontation with Trendelenburg’s objection. Through this discussion and through an analysis of the development of a certain English-speaking interpretative tradition, it will be seen that the debate between Kant, Lambert, Mendelssohn and Trendelenburg can be reduced to the debate between the philosopher of Königsberg and his main opponents in the "Transcendental Aesthetics”, namely, Newton and Leibniz. It will also be shown by this reduction that Kant’s mature philosophy of time is coherent and sustainable even in the face of the renowned critics and even adopting the interpretative structure used by Trendelenburg
Na dissertação Forma e princípios do mundo sensível e do mundo inteligível, Immanuel Kant formula pela primeira vez a tese que foi considerada como o marco de sua virada crítica: a tese de que o tempo (e o espaço) é ideal. No mesmo ano de publicação daquele trabalho, dois de seus mais influentes contemporâneos formularam objeções a um dos pontos centrais da recém-formulada teoria: Johann Heinrich Lambert e Moses Mendelssohn não podiam aceitar que o tempo era irreal. Quase um século depois, Adolf Trendelenburg formulou uma célebre crítica que moldou o modo como o texto da “Estética Transcendental” foi lido pelos intérpretes da filosofia de Kant. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a filosofia do tempo de Kant à luz dessas objeções e avaliar a capacidade de sustentação dela frente às críticas. Para isso, três pontos precisam ser discutidos: (i) a tese da irrealidade do tempo em 1770 e as objeções apresentadas naquele ano; (ii) a recepção que Kant faz dessas objeções e eventuais alterações na doutrina apresentada no texto maduro da Crítica da Razão Pura e; (iii) o grau de sustentabilidade da filosofia kantiana do tempo na confrontação com a objeção de Trendelenburg. Por meio dessa discussão e de uma análise do desenvolvimento de certa tradição interpretativa de língua inglesa, constatar-se-á que o debate entre Kant, Lambert, Mendelssohn e Trendelenburg pode ser reduzido ao debate entre o filósofo de Königsberg e seus principais interlocutores na “Estética Transcendental”, a saber, Newton e Leibniz. Mostrar-se-á, ainda, por meio dessa redução, que a filosofia madura do tempo de Kant é coerente e sustentável mesmo frente às célebres críticas e mesmo adotando-se a estrutura interpretativa utilizada por Trendelenburg

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of th is thesis is to correct the widespread misconception th a t children and adolescents are of small Importance in the world of Balzac's Comedie humaine. My method of procedure was not the traditional one. Instead of making'individual characters the focal point of my study, I culled relevant information from the Com&die humaine and then proceeded to group related concepts. Afterwards I consulted Balzac's private correspondence, the Oeuvres de Jeunesse, the Oeuvres diverses and various editions of his works,as well as lite ra ry and social criticism . The present thesis consists o f an Introduction, eight Chapters and a Conclusion. I t is divided into two parts. Part I is concerned with the child and the adolescent per s e . Part II outlines Balzac's view of th e ir growth and development. Chapter I aims to show that Balzac was not only a pioneer in the history of the French novel, but also a pioneer of the treatment of the child therein. Chapter II studies those characteristics which he considered typical of the child personality. They tend to be clinical rath er than lite ra ry , although there is inevitably some overlap and even co n flic t. Chapter III examines types of children mentioned in the Comddie humaine. Personal considerations motivated Balzac to place most emphasis on the only child, the s p o ilt child and, obliquely, the adopted child who then had minimal Importance in French Law. Nevertheless an appearance is made by all types known a t the time to lite ra tu re , society and the law, although not a ll are dissected.

Повний текст джерела華大部份寫詩的靈感都來自大自然,因此第一章將考究自然如何成為為他帶來靈感的工具。十八世紀崇尚哲學,詩風也有此傾向。華受此詩風影響,對他來說,自然象徵著形而上的真理,是重要的寫作題材。因此,雖然他渴望像他妹妹桃樂西一樣如實描繪自然,最後卻比較著重自然的喻意,多於自然的原始美。
第二章以華的作品《意大利旅行回憶錄》和《歐洲大陸旅行回憶錄》為主,集中討論華詩裡的聖靈。此章宗旨是證明詩人在出外的時候特別依靠聖靈作靈感來源。雖然外地給他陌生的印象和感覺,但透過此靈感來源,他為自己製造了一個安穩的寫作空間。聖物、宗教建築、音樂和不同地方的歷史,觸手可及,為他帶來親切感。
第三章尋索華詩裡的新古典神明。論點是:詩人在詩裡祈求神明庇佑並賜與寫作靈感,是跟隨新古典詩人的傳統,為一種修辭法。新古典時期的代表作家有德萊頓、蒲柏、和詹森, 都是華尊敬的作家。雖然華曾跟隨他們的向神明祈求的修辭法,卻仍與他們這種尋求靈命的手法保持距離。這是因為華覺察到,這種以精英為重的詩,與他對低微農村居民持有的抱負背道而馳。
第四章介紹英國湖區的守護力量。這力量比較其他靈感來源,最得華心。原因是,他從小與湖區已建立起感官和情感上的親切感。即使身在異鄉,他也可透過想象親歷湖區之景,從中找到靈感寫作,所以湖區的力量很可靠。可惜,一個地方的景色,有可能隨著農村發展和工業化而改變甚至遭受破壞。華明白這一點,是以還是開始尋找更長久的靈感來源。
因此,華創造了歷史、文學和人物這三種人本的守護力量,代替前幾種的靈感來源。第五、第六、和第七章會分別討論這三種來源。歷史的守護力量來自華想象出來的一個群體, 這群體裡的人都是英國的人民,價值觀相似,所以特別珍視某些美德。就是這樣一個群體維持著華的靈感的。文學的守護力量也是華想象力的結晶,這群體是由一群作家組成,作家真有其人。華透過引用他們的詩句,在寫詩時找到靈感繼續創作下去。人物守護力量是第三個華透過想象組織的群體,以湖區的農民群體為範本。人物都有華所碰見過的人的影子,他們的生命力來自這群體的關愛和憐恤。這兩種美德也支持著華的創作。
This thesis explores the different sources of inspiration in William Wordsworth’s poetry. These sources, I argue, can mainly be classified into two types: supernatural and human-oriented. The classical and traditional Wordsworth relies on supernatural sources, such as pagan spirits, the Christian spirit, and neo-classical spirits to sustain and inspire his poetry. In addition to these sources, I argue that he has invented human-oriented 'spirits of place', and that his use of these spirits reflects a Wordsworth who is independent of tradition and more reliant on his own genius and the human communities around him.
Because the inspiration of most of Wordsworth’s poems springs from nature, my first chapter will study how nature is instrumental in bringing about this inspiration. Nature is symbolic of those metaphysical truths which he considers important subjects for writing, under the influence of eighteenth-century expectations that poetry be philosophical. As a result, while longing to portray nature 'as it is', as his sister Dorothy does, he nevertheless resorts to the metaphorical meanings of nature rather than its beauty in its basic appearance.
My second chapter will focus on the Christian spirit in Wordsworth’s poetry, especially in Memorials of a Tour in Italy, and Memorials of a Tour on the Continent. It seeks to show how the poet, especially while abroad, depends on it for inspiration. He seems to be creating a safe environment for writing, when his surroundings look and feel foreign. He cultivates a feeling of familiarity through tangible things such as religious relics, architecture, and music, and the Christian history of the places.
My third chapter will investigate neo-classical spirits in Wordsworth’s poetry. I argue that his invocation of them is a rhetorical device employed as part of a tradition among neo-classical poets such as Dryden, Pope, and Johnson, whom Wordsworth highly respects as his poetic predecessors. There will also be a note on his critical stance against this method of obtaining inspiration, as he realises an elitist kind of poetry does not suit that responsibility for the rustic and lowly which he considers his.
My fourth chapter will introduce the genius loci of the Lake District, which to Wordsworth was a preferred source of inspiration, because of the physical and emotional intimacy that he cultivated with the place since childhood. I attempt also to show that the genius loci has sustained his poetry even when he is abroad and imaginatively revisits the place. Despite the strength of this source, he eventually longs for a more sustainable source, one that is not prone to be destroyed due to the possibility of a change of landscape in the locality due to rural development or industrialisation.
As a result of this, Wordsworth invents what I term 'historical', 'literary', and 'embodied' spirits of place, as alternative sources. These three kinds of spirit of place will be discussed in Chapters 5, 6, and 7 respectively. Historical spirits of place are a community imagined by Wordsworth, one in which people share the same valuation of certain virtues that are specific to the British nation. Literary spirits of place are a community in his mind, one that consists of literary figures who are supportive of or foundational for Wordsworth’s writing. He imagines receiving their support through quoting from their poems. Embodied spirits of place are also an imaginary community based on the rural one in the Lake District. They are characters that Wordsworth creates based on real rustic people, and their lives are sustained by the love and sympathy of the community, just as his own poetry is sustained by it.
