  • Lyric Spells

    Open AccessRoger PearsonARTICLEDix-Neuf2025Referências: 11

    In this article I examine some aspects of the relationship between poetry and magic within the context of nineteenth-century French literature and culture.I focus on Mallarm's 'Magie' and use his comparison of lyric verse with magic spells to frame a broader investigation of the poet as magus, beginning with Chateaubriand's account of divine 'magic' in his Gnie du christianisme and Stal's depiction of the natural 'magic' of enthousiasme in Corinn…

  • Les Fleurs du Mal (1857/1861)

    Roger PearsonCHAPTERBeauty of Baudelaire2021

    This chapter examines the ‘endings’ of ‘Spleen et idéal’ and Les Fleurs du Mal . After discussion of ‘Hymne à la Beauté’, which in 1861 completes the evolution from tradition to innovation in the poet’s thinking about beauty (poems 1–21), it is argued that whereas in 1857 the final seven poems of ‘Spleen et idéal’ allowed this section to mirror the overall structure of the collection as a movement from upward aspiration towards downbeat acceptanc…

  • The Poet in the World

    Roger PearsonCHAPTERBeauty of Baudelaire2021

    This chapter switches attention from the poet as solitary dreamer to the poet as street performer. This is the man of the crowd who takes his imagination out into public spaces (the boulevard, park, fairground, or gambling den) and invests it in other people. The poet of Le Spleen de Paris is considered as a performer of masques, staging verbal spectacles of empathy with those who, like him, are different (‘Les Veuves’, ‘Le Vieux Saltimbanque’, ‘…

  • The Beauty of Baudelaire

    Roger PearsonBOOKBeauty of Baudelaire2021Citada por: 1

    This book offers the first comprehensive close reading in any language of the complete works of Charles Baudelaire (1821-67). Taking full account of his critical writings on literature and the fine arts, it provides fresh readings of Les Fleurs du Mal and Le Spleen de Paris. It situates these works within the context of nineteenth-century French literature and culture and reassesses Baudelaire's reputation as the 'father' of modern poetry. Wherea…

  • Unacknowledged Legislators

    Roger PearsonBOOKUnacknowledged Legislators2016

    Whereas the Romantic figure of the poet-prophet is now habitually dismissed as a cliché, this book focuses on the role of the poet as lawgiver and shows how pervasive and complex this conception of poetic writing was both immediately before the French Revolution of 1789 and over the following decades. After a Prologue, the Introduction presents the poet-lawgiver: first, in relation to Shelley’s ‘unacknowledged legislator’, the nomos of ancient Gr…

  • La bête humaine

    Emile Zola, Roger PearsonBOOKLa bête humaine2009

  • The masterpiece

    Emile Zola, Roger Pearson et al.BOOKThe masterpiece2008

    The Masterpiece is the tragic story of Claude Lantier, an ambitious and talented young artist who has come from the provinces to conquer Paris but is conquered instead by the flaws of his own genius. Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it is the most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series. It provides a unique insight into Zola's career as a writer and his relationship with Cezanne, a friend since their schooldays in Aix-e…

  • Agricultural development in Alaska

    Open AccessCarol E Lewis, Roger W Pearson et al.ARTICLEPolar Record1987Referências: 5

    Development during approximately 200 years of agricultural activity in Alaska has been varied and generally inadequate. Four stages are here identified. During the period from Russian and early American colonization to the late 1880s production was largely for personal consumption. From 1898 to World War II federal intervention stimulated local commercial agriculture, and from the late 1940s to the late 1960s commercial production expanded. Since…

    Open AccessRoger W Pearson, Roger Pearson et al.ARTICLEARCTIC1975

    Fairbanks, Alaska is used as a case study for assessing problems of environmental quality that may intensify or develop in rapidly expanding northern settlements. Constraints imposed by site and situations are severe, although they have been partially overcome by high-cost technological measures. Additionally, flood damage, inadequate community action, and high costs have led to poor housing conditions and a housing shortage. Disposal of solid, l…

  • Rocher River, Northwest Territories

    Open AccessRoger PearsonARTICLEARCTIC1969

    This small trapping area, ~10 mi south of Great Slave Lake had a population of 130 in 1956, and about 38 in 1968. The local potential resource industries include commercial fishing, hunting and trapping, and the soil and climate are conductive to garden agriculture; but for their development the community requires a school to attract families with children, new housing, sanitation facilities, road improvement, a landing strip, also improved commu…
