French Theater And The Memory Of The Great War, Susan Mccready
French Theater And The Memory Of The Great War, Susan Mccready
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
A systematic examination of the ground on which French-language playwrights chose to stage their confrontation with the war would expose many of the literary and cultural biases on which our collective memory of the Great War is based. Even the brief outline of French-language war plays provided in this essay challenges many of our most cherished assumptions about war experience and the meaning of the Great War.

Tristan Tzara’S Poetical Visions: Ironic, Oneiric, Heroic, Ruth Caldwell
Tristan Tzara’S Poetical Visions: Ironic, Oneiric, Heroic, Ruth Caldwell
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Tristan Tzara is most often associated with Dada, a movement whose influence has often been overlooked. However, Tzara stands out among his peers because of his extensive production of poetical works associated not only with Dada but surrealism and beyond. In all of these texts we see a constant refusal to be complacent about artistic endeavor or the world around us. His Dada texts launch an attack on language by the use of irony and a tension of the text against itself. This internal tension becomes the struggle depicted in his surrealistic epic, L’Homme approximatif, an unfulfilled search for …
Questioning The Postmodern: Deguy, Jabès And Pleynet, Joan Brandt
Questioning The Postmodern: Deguy, Jabès And Pleynet, Joan Brandt
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Theorists of the postmodern tend to see the postmodernist literary text as that which disrupts modernism's inclusive and coherent structures. As opposed to the modernist text, which is characterized as centered, ordered, self-reflexive and autonomous, the postmodernist text is seen as decentered and indeterminate; it blurs the boundaries separating the text from other cultural spheres and questions radically the metaphysics of presence, of the subject, of identity and coherence. This study questions the tendency to see postmodernism in terms of its opposition to modernism. Through an analysis of three contemporary French poets, Michel Deguy, Edmond Jabès and Marcelin Pleynet, it …
The Literary Criticism And Memoirs Of Juan Ramón Jiménez, Allen W. Phillips
The Literary Criticism And Memoirs Of Juan Ramón Jiménez, Allen W. Phillips
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Equally as demanding of others as he was of himself, Juan Ramón Jiménez conceived of literary criticism as a serious and exacting task. The critic and the poet, standing side by side, are devoted to complementary activities of mutual enrichment. However fragmentary and partial the critical opinions of Juan Ramón may be (also outspoken and polemical in nature), they are invaluable as a personal historical and aesthetic guide to about fifty or sixty years of Hispanic literary development (1900-1960). Not to take them into account is to fail to recognize a highly important aspect of his total artistic personality. These …
