The Picture as Spectre in Diderot, Proust, and Deleuze
by Thomas Baldwin
The possibility of ekphrasis, the verbal representation of visual imagery, is fundamental to all writing about art, be it art criticism, theory or a passage in a novel. But there is no consensus concerning how such representation works. Some take it for granted that writing about art can result in a precise match between words and visual images. For others, ekphrasis amounts to a kind of virtuoso rivalry, in which the writer aims to outdo the ...

Cosmos and Image in the Renaissance: French Love Lyric and Natural-Philosophical Poetry
by Kathryn Banks
Renaissance images could be real as well as linguistic. Human beings were often believed to be an image of the cosmos, and the sun an image of God. Kathryn Banks explores the implications of this for poetic language and argues that linguistic images were a powerful tool for rethinking cosmic conceptions. She reassesses the role of natural-philosophical poetry in France, focusing upon its most well-known and widely-read exponent, Guillaume de ...

La Cort d'Amor: A Critical Edition
edited by Matthew Bardell
The Cort d'Amor is a unique late twelfth-century allegorical romance in Occitan which predates the Roman de la Rose by some 50 years.

In this long-overdue edition, Matthew Bardell highlights the work's intertextuality with Andreas Capellanus' De Amore to show how the Occitan work presents a dialogue ...

The Strange M. Proust
edited by Andre Benhaim
The strange M. Proust - the narrator, the author, and the embodiment of A la Recherche du Temps perdu - is now so canonical a writer that his very strangeness is easily overlooked. His book made of other books, his epic composed of extraordinary miniatures, his orderly structure where every law is subverted, his chronology where time can be undone and his geography where places can superimpose: in these, and many other ways, Proust ...

In the Soviet period it was institutionalized and systematized with unprecedented thoroughness and sophistication, acquiring not only proscriptive but prescriptive powers. Awareness of its workings is fundamental to the understanding of Russian culture in the twentieth century. Drawing on research in archives that have been opened only since the ...

Octavio Paz and T.S. Eliot: Modern Poetry and the Translation of Influence
by Tom Boll
When the sixteen-year-old Octavio Paz (1914-1998) discovered The Waste Land in Spanish translation, it 'opened the doors of modern poetry'. The influence of T S Eliot would accompany Paz throughout his career, defining many of his key poems and pronouncements. Yet Paz's attitude towards his precursor was ambivalent. Boll's study is the first to trace the history of Paz's engagement with Eliot in Latin American and Spanish periodicals of ...

Disrupted Narratives: Illness, Silence and Identity in Svevo, Pressburger and Morandini
by Emma Bond
If Madame Bovary's death in Flaubert's 1857 novel marked the definitive end of the Romantic vision of literary disease, then the advent of psychoanalysis less than half a century later heralded an entirely new set of implications for literature dealing with illness. The theorization of a potential unconscious double (capable of expressing the body, and thus also the intimate damage caused by disease) in turn suggested a capacity to subvert or ...
