CONCEPTUAL INTEGRATIONS IN LA PROSE DU TRANSSIBÉRIEN ET DE LA PETITE JEANNE DE FRANCE BY BLAISE CENDRARS

In this paper, I discuss La Prose du Transsibérien et de la petite Jeanne de France by Blaise Cendrars, a narrative poem first published in French in Paris in 1913. The poem has raised seemingly intractable questions for many years, given its status as one of the most important modernist poems, and one of the most important poems in 20th century French poetry. As I argue, considering some of the issues from the perspective of cognitive stylistics, especially the theory of conceptual integration, may help explain how readers make sense of this complicated poem.

Une « science » de la durée : Valéry lecteur de la poésie du xixe siècle

Although Paul Valéry’s lack of interest—if not outright contempt—for literary history is by now well known, as is his rather singular conception of reading, this article argues for the importance of reexamining the many texts in which he positions himself first as a reader of nineteenth-century French poetry. A constant preoccupation of Valéry’s when reviewing Hugo, Baudelaire or Mallarmé (among several others) is the capacity of any given text to resist at once its reader and the unavoidable flight of time. At stake in Valéry’s meditation, as this article demonstrates, is what he comes to label as a “science” of duration (durée).

The reception of French symbolism in Georgian Literature

The comparative study of Georgian modernist poetry in the context of French poetry reveals that Georgian poetry of the early XXth ventury is not an epigenetic appendage or periphery of European poetry. It creates its original invariant, which in a way expands and expands the mythohraphic discourse and mythological character of French poetry, chronotopes, cultural and landscape spaces.At the beginning of the XXth century the blueroks could not hide their amdiration for the work of French Symbolists, which they considered to be evidence that the path of Georgian literature was directed towards Europe. They had adored poets: Edgar Allan Poe, Baudelaire,Rimbaud, Verlaine… However, I think the announcement of the Blue roks as Georgian symbolists is very controversial… Therefore, I consider it important to establish the basic principles of French symbolism and, consequently, to connect it with the Georgian poets of the XX century, ib paerticular with the poetry of Galaktioni.

Carducci y Gutiérrez Nájera: dos ejemplos de lectura de Horacio en la tradición clásica del siglo XIX

Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera and Giosuè Carducci are two of the most important authors of Mexico and Italy respectively. Both were inspired by the French poetry of their time and shared a literary ideal of definition and construction of their national identity. Among the different ways to do this work, the use of Classical tradition, and specifically in the presence of Horace, allows us to recognize the differences and similarities of the nineteenth-century ideas of both authors.

Anglo-French Poetic Exchanges in the Little Magazines, 1908–1914

This article demonstrates the extent and significance of exchange between English and French poets in the years leading up to World War I, a crucial period for the development of modern Anglophone poetry. Through archival research, I trace the growing interest in French poetry of Imagist poets F. S. Flint, Ezra Pound and Richard Aldington, exhibited in various little magazines including the New Age, Poetry Review, Poetry and Drama, Poetry, the New Freewoman and the Egoist. Moreover, I show that such interest was reciprocated by contemporary French poets, notably Henri-Martin Barzun and Guillaume Apollinaire, who published works by English poets in their respective little magazines Poème et Drame and Les Soirées de Paris. This suggests that not only were modern English poets influenced by their French counterparts, but they were also given a voice in the Francophone artistic world, resulting in a unique moment of cross-channel poetic exchange before the war.

TWO FRENCH POEMS IN TREDIAKOVSKII’S COLLECTION "VOYAGE TO THE ISLAND OF LOVE"

In his Voyage to the Island of Love, V. K. Trediakovskii points out that two of his French poems have French sources, but does not provide the names of the authors of the texts referred to. The sources of the two poems, as established in the article, testify to his close attention to the French poetry, and make it possible to analyze the fi ner features of the assimilation and re-creation of the French texts by the Russian poet.
