"For France the First World War, or Great War, was a war of national self-defence, but for Britain it was not. Does that mean that French literary treatments of this unimaginably destructive war were very different from British ones? Not necessarily – but much can be learned from considering both traditions side by side, something that is rarely done. The essays collected in this bilingual volume, by a range of scholars working on litera ..."

"Jean Grenier, dont on connaît le rôle d'inspirateur et de mentor qu'il a joué auprès d'Albert Camus, était philosophe de métier. Mais cet esprit subtil et curieux, ennemi de toute pensée totalitaire (Essai sur l'esprit d'orthodoxie) s'intéressait également aux traditions orientales (L'Esprit du Tao) et aux Beaux-Arts (L'Esprit de la peinture contemporaine, L'Art et ses problèmes – il finit d'ailleurs sa carrière comme professeur d'Esthé ..."

"In Thercsc Desqueyroux, in which she makes her first appearance, Mauriac treats
her as a real person, addressing her directly in the Foreword ... Then in 1932 and
1933 Mauriac wrote two short stories, Therese chez le docteur and Therese a I'
hotel, before making TheYese the ... I shall be concerned only with the Therese of
the original novel, but it is at least clear that Mauriac felt that he was dealing with

"This book brings together in one volume essays by leading scholars in the field of nineteenth-century literature and art, all of whom have been associated with Alan Raitt as either colleagues or pupils. It also includes an essay by the novelist Julian Barnes, who has frequently been inspired in his creative writing by nineteenth-century French literature and who was, himself, a pupil of Alan Raitt's. This is a tribute to a scholar with ..."
"The actress playing Catherine, Marie Vialle, invented a series of comic gestures
to sum up the English words she is learning, gestures that veer towards the
explicit to better make her point. A closed fist with raised middle finger, illustrating
the word 'fingers', summons up an obscene imagery that runs the course of the
scene, culminating in the titillating discovery that the English words 'foot' and '
gown' sound dangerously like ..."

"Introduction Katherine Davies and Toby Garfitt As body, man is abeing whose
condition it is always to be communicated; indeed, he regains himself only on
account of having been communicated. For this reason, man as a whole is not an
archetype of Being and of Spirit, rather their image; he is not the primal word, but
a response; he is not a speaker, but an expression governed by the laws of
beauty, laws which man cannot impose on hi ..."

"Les écrivains en quête du sens de la vie reviennent sans cesse vers l'adolescent et l'enfant qu'ils furent. L'enfance bénie ou angoissée nourrit merveilleusement l'inspiration de celui qui veut tracer son chemin dans l'écriture."
