Musical Sceneries in the Works of Gérard de Nerval
No full textThe literary space of Gérard de Nerval’s prose is woven from the narrator’s dreams and memories of places familiar to the author – those with resonant names, situated in the home region of Valois, and those which he visited during his hikes in Paris or Europe. All these places create a certain ‘magical geography’, as it was coined by Jean‑Pierre Richard. Music plays an important role in creating scenery in Nerval’s writing, in which the narrator perceives and creates space through the prism of sounds of folk songs or melody of the voice itself. Singing is a factor capable of changing the character of a given place and transforming it into, for example, a kind of opera stage. This paper analyses the influence of musical elements on the portrayal of autobiographic places in Nerval’s work.Anna Opiela‑Mrozik – adiunkt w Instytucie Romanistyki UW, jest autorką rozprawy doktorskiej Muzyka w myśli i twórczości Stendhala i Nervala (Honoré Champion, Paris 2015).

Generations of Italian Communist Women and the Making of a Women’s Rights Agenda in the Cold War (1945–68). Historiography, Memory, and New Archival Evidence
No full textThis chapter explores how diverse generations of Italian communist women contributed to creating a women’s rights agenda in the period 1945–68, before the rise of so-called second wave feminism. A women’s rights agenda was clearly implemented in postwar Italy, especially thanks to the role of communist women both within the party, in the Parliament, as well as in the Union of Italian Women (Unione Donne Italiane, UDI) and in the Italian General Confederation of Labor (Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro, CGIL). Women’s labor rights and welfare services were at the core of the emancipation project promoted by Italian communist women, which was part of a larger women’s rights agenda put forward worldwide by international women’s
organizations such as the Women’s International Democratic Federation (WIDF). As a matter of fact, Italian communist women had frequent contacts with communist women in Eastern Europe, Soviet Union, China. The latter influenced the Italians in establishing their own women’s rights agenda and vice versa, as Italians took part in the elaboration of a women’s rights agenda internationally, especially within, but not only, the WIDF

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
