Biografía e historiografía en las novelas " Author, author!: a novel" y "A man of parts: a novel" de David Lodge
Get PDF[ES] El presente trabajo de investigación indaga en la evolución estilística del escritor británico David Lodge, señalando que aquellas novelas publicadas por el autor durante la primera década del siglo XXI difieren en ciertos aspectos de su producción literaria correspondiente al siglo XX. Para ello, en la primera parte de la investigación se analiza los fundamentos teóricos subyacentes al estilo literario en Author y a Man of Parts. En la segunda parte, los aspectos formales y temáticos referentes al estilo literario en Author y a Man of Parts. Dichas novelas se conforman como un tipo de creación que persigue verdades que acotan hechos concretos y cabales, la denominada truth in facts, a la vez que expresan la narrativa de vivencias o life-writing, escritura que manifiesta experiencias personales en forma de confesión o diario. Consecuentemente, en dichas obras literarias, David Lodge opta por reflejar la llamada ʽnovela de autor,ʼ decantándose por delinear ficcionalmente las biografías de los escritores consagrados decimonónicos Henry James y H. G. Wells
David Lodge and Authorial Control: (Self-)Positioning and Anxiety of Reception in the Field of Biographical Fiction
No full textThe status of authorship had been greatly diminished under the influence of poststructuralist theory about the author, which resulted in an authorial loss of control. However, authorship recently seems to have found its way back into the evaluation of literature. For instance, authorship has gained attention through foregrounding the author as a novelistic character. Fictionalised accounts of the life of an author have become increasingly popular in recent decades, like David Lodge’s Author, Author (2004) and A Man of Parts (2011). These two novels (re-)connect the author to his work, and thereby recentralise the author. In addition, they show that David Lodge is also struggling with authorial control. This thesis explores and discusses three themes in relation to David Lodge and authorial control, within these two novels and outside of them: the return of the author as a novelistic character, self-positioning of the author, and anxiety of reception
David Lodge. Le choix de l’éloquence
No full textPlus de quarante années séparent la publication du premier roman de David Lodge, The Picturegoers (1960), inédit en France, de celle de Thinks..., au printemps 2001. Quarante années qui ont été le cadre de bouleversements économiques, politiques, sociaux et, partant, culturels, au Royaume-Uni et même à l’échelle planétaire. Au cours de ces décennies, l’Angleterre a quitté la période de l’après-guerre pour entrer dans l’ère postmoderne. Ce passage, peu d’œuvres en portent la marque autant que celle de David Lodge, auteur de onze romans, de plusieurs nouvelles, d’une novella, d’une pièce de théâtre et de diverses adaptations télévisées de ses propres textes. David John Lodge, né dans le quartier populaire de Brockley, au sud de Londres, en 1935, dans une famille catholique modeste est un enfant du siècle (entendons par là à la fois du siècle passé et de celui qui s’ouvre) : enfant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de l’après-guerre, de la rupture culturelle des années soixante, de la fin du siècle et du nouveau millénaire.Ganteau Jean-Michel.

Defesa: Curitiba, 26/06/2013Bibliografia: fls. 158-161Área de concentração: Estudos LiteráriosResumo: O propósito deste trabalho é refletir sobre a construção do foco narrativo em Author, Author (2004), de David Lodge, romance biográfico sobre o escritor Henry James (1843-1916). O narrador não se limita a situar o leitor na narrativa: o seu posicionamento em relação aos aspectos factuais da vida e do percurso literário do romancista norte-americano desempenha papel fundamental na discussão das estratégias narrativas da prosa de ficção de James. Na construção ficcional do malogro na noite de estreia de Guy Domville, em Londres, em 1895, por exemplo, é possível perceber a bipartição desse narrador, capaz de contar e mostrar dois episódios que se passam em dois lugares diferentes, simultaneamente. Em outros momentos do romance, a voz autoral embaralha-se com a voz do sujeito da enunciação a tal ponto, que o leitor menos atento encontra certa dificuldade para colocar ordem nos discursos. O abandono gradual da prosa de ficção em busca de uma identidade como dramaturgo, a falta de êxito na dramaturgia, a lenta recuperação psicológica, a retomada da prosa de ficção e o resultado insatisfatório da revisão e escrita de prefácios para as suas obras, para compor The novels and tales of Henry James:The New York Edition (1905), são alguns dos desdobramentos da trajetória de James, discutidos em Author, Author.Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to think over the construction process of narrative focus in Author, Author (2004), by David Lodge, a biographical novel about the writer Henry James (1843-1916). The narrator does not limit himself to guiding the reader through the narrative; rather, his attitude towards factual aspects of the life and literary course of the North-American novelist seems to play a fundamental role in the novel. In the fictional construction of the débâcle of "Guy Domville", in London, 1895 for instance it is possible to distinguish the narrator's bipartition, in order to tell and show two different episodes which happen in two different places, simultaneously. In other moments, the authorial voice blends with that of the subject of the enunciation to such a degree that the less attentive reader may not be capable of organizing the discourse, in a first moment. James' gradual movement away from prose fiction so as to find his playwright identity; the lack of success as a playwright; his subsequent slow psychological recovery; the return to prose fiction; and, finally, the weak result of writing and revising prefaces to his literary works in order to put together The Novels and Tales of Henry James: The New York Edition (1905), are some of the most conspicuous events in James' trajectory discussed in Author, Author
