    Autour de Ledoux : architecture, ville et utopie

    No full text
    In October 2006, the Maison des sciences de l'homme et de l'environnement Claude Nicolas Ledoux (Besançon) brought together some twenty French and foreign researchers from a wide range of disciplines - architecture, history, art history, philosophy and anthropology - at the Saline Royale d'Arc-et-Senans to commemorate the bicentenary of Ledoux's death by examining the significance, challenges and future of his work. Ledoux was an architect who left behind a number of famous works, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Saline, but he was also the author of an often enigmatic book on architecture, the strangeness of which specialists continue to question. His work, both written and built, raises a number of questions relating to the history of architecture, the development of utopian currents and the regenerative project of the Enlightenment. The volume is divided into three parts. The first brings together studies devoted to Ledoux himself, both as a writer and an architect. The second attempts to place Ledoux in his context by studying influences, competition and legacies. Finally, the third extends the focus to ideal cities by examining the exchanges between architecture and utopia

    Was there ever a “Female Gothic”?

    No full text
    This article examines the reception history of women-authored Gothic texts from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, arguing that the generic descriptor “Female Gothic” more accurately reflects the ideological goals of second-wave feminist literary criticism than the narratives of early women Gothic writers. While several critics have attempted to destabilize the term Female Gothic, its usage persists as a short-hand form to describe narratives in which distressed female heroines are imprisoned in the domestic sphere and threatened with extortion, rape and forced marriage. This essay asks why criticism clings to an understanding of this genre as one depicting female victimization despite overwhelming textual evidence that represents a much more complicated picture of women’s use and engagement with the Gothic mode. It is argued that the answer to this question rests in looking at how Gothic women’s writing was received in the early nineteenth century and how that reception history shaped the discursive strategies of second-wave feminist literary critics.Peer reviewe

    “Florizel and Perdita Affair, 1779-80”

    No full text
    This article examines the cultural and political significance of the Prince of Wales’s early 1780s involvement with Drury Lane actress and poet Mary Robinson. Rather than just a romance between two public figures, the “Florizel and Perdita Affair” had wide-ranging effects that, when examined, offer meaningful insight into everything from the weakening influence of the Hanover dynasty and the campaigns of Whig opposition candidates to the aesthetics of formal portraiture, political cartoons, and popular fashion.Peer reviewe
