Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia Woolf and Marguerite Yourcenar, disruptive writers of the twentieth century, challenged and partly overturned the cultural and social clichés of their time. Through their artistic commitment they gave a decisive impulse to women's emancipation, and to the general civil one. They met in London in 1937. The young Yourcenar still far from her literary glory that will see her elected first woman of the French Academy, she wants to translate The Waves, (The Waves), a work that she considers "revolutionary". She crossed the Channel to ask the English author for advice. But what elements led Fate to favour this literary confluence? What do Virginia and Marguerite have in common? What sets them apart? And finally, how does Les Vagues compare in relation to The Waves? An exploration into the life, art and philosophy of the two writers to bring their spirit closer and try to reveal the mystery of their creative genius. With an ear always strained to The Waves - inspiration and soundtrack of this essay.

Book excerpt: First published in French in 1974 under the title 'Souvenirs Pieux', DEAR DEPARTED is the first volume of a trilogy by Marguerite Yourcenar, one of the most celebrated French writers of the century, devoted to her own origins and background. Yourcenar describes the events surrounding her birth in 1903, then takes us back through the centuries to meet her mother's forebears: soldiers, essayists, idealists, heroines, even ambassadors. Throughout, the history of the family serves as a window on the history of a rapidly-changing Europe.Using memoirs, letters and momentos, Yourcenar richly evokes both the larger events on the European stage and the rhythms and textures of everyday existence. Though rarely visible, Yourcenar is everywhere present, her perceptions rendered in her unmistakable voice. The book is a tour-de-force of historical and literary imagination.

Book Synopsis The Intersecting Realities and Fictions of Virginia Woolf and Colette by : Helen Southworth
Download or read book The Intersecting Realities and Fictions of Virginia Woolf and Colette written by Helen Southworth and published by Ohio State University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What might the author of Mrs. Dalloway and A Room of One's Own have in common with the author of the Claudine series and The Pure and the Impure? Resisting long-held interpretations that Colette and Virginia Woolf had little in common, Southworth shows here the links between the two famous writers, both real and imagined. Often cast in their diametrically opposed roles of elitist bluestocking and risque music hall performer, critics have overlooked the many ways in which the lives and works of Woolf and Colette intersect. This study provides a broad-ranging introduction to the biographical, stylistic, and thematic ties that link the lives and works of Britain's and France's first ladies of letters of the early twentieth century. Situating the two writers within an international network of artists and literati, including Jacques-Emile Blanche, Radclyffe Hall and Una Troubridge. Winnie de Polignac, Gisele Freund, Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier, Vita Sackville-West and Violet Trefusis, this study complicates conceptions of the differences--national, sexual, cultural, and intellectual--which have kept these two women apart by placing these same differences at its center. Southworth develops work already undertaken on Woolf's contacts with France and adds to the body of comparative work on Woolf and her contemporaries. This study also highlights as yet unexplored connections between Colette and her British and American peers. Southworth's book makes a significant contribution to gay and lesbian studies and the study of modernist culture. It also demonstrates the potential of social network theory for literary studies.
Book Synopsis How Many Years by : Marguerite Yourcenar
Download or read book How Many Years written by Marguerite Yourcenar and published by Farrar Straus & Giroux. This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marguerite Yourcenar, one of France's most celebrated authors, here continues the absorbing tale of her background and origins. The first volume of her autobiographical trilogy, Dear Departed, was devoted to her maternal forebears. The current book, originally published in 1977 under the title Archives du Nord and now making its first appearance in English, introduces us to her father's side of the family. Yourcenar takes us back in time, to relive the tumultuous history of northeastern France through the eyes of a remarkable gallery of ancestors: canonesses and matriarchs, statesmen and scoundrels, merchants and artists (the painter Peter Paul Rubens married into the family). But the central character in the narrative is the individual who had the greatest formative influence on Yourcenar: her father, Michel de Crayencour, who educated her, encouraged her literary ambitions, and fostered in her the intellectual breadth, originality, and subtlety that are so characteristic of her work.
