July Revolution as Repetition Compulsion
This essay examines Marie-Caroline Batz de Trenquelléon's novel Georges ou la Révolution de 1830 et l'homme de 1793 (1832), an early response to the Revolution of 1830. Although its author was a legitimist who blamed the French Revolution on Enlightenment thought, the novel is largely based on Voltaire's play Le fanatisme, ou Mahomet le Prophète (1741). This study explores how Batz de Trenquelléon's critique of the Terror echoes Voltaire's denunc…
Reverberations of Revolution
Reverberations of Revolution
Cutting across disciplines and linguistic borders, this book highlights revolutionary moments in Europe, the United States and the Caribbean between the mid-eighteenth century and the revolutions of 1848. Its chapters adopt transnational approaches to revolution to show how political uprisings often reverberated far beyond the borders of the states directly affected in the form of narratives, metaphors, translations, letters, pamphlets and dialog…
The Novel of the Bullanga
The period between 1833 and 1840 was a moment of political upheaval in Spain. Not only did these years witness the transition from an absolute monarchy to a liberal parliamentary system, but Spanish liberals also began to divide into several factions, leading to uprisings and several changes in government. At the same time, the nation had to fend off the military advances of the anti-liberal Carlists in the North. This article compares and contra…
En tranvía
Inaugurated in 1871, the Salamanca-Sol-Pozas tram line was the first form of systematized collective transportation in Madrid. This essay examines the representation of the streetcar experience in literary sketches published in the Spanish press in the late nineteenth century. Bringing together passengers from very different classes and walks of life, the tram was one of the most heterogeneous spaces in the city. The works discussed in this essay…
The Devil in the Omnibus
The introduction of omnibus services in European cities in the 1820s and 1830s radically changed the experience of urban life.Not only did it make metropolises more accessible-particularly for poorer residents unable to afford a private carriage or hired coach-but it also created new contacts among city-dwellers from a wide range of social classes and professions. 1Although many workers were still too poor to take advantage of the new services, a…
Floridas señas
This essay examines the use of the Petrarchan motif of the ‘generative footsteps’—the magical ability of the beloved to make flowers bloom wherever she steps—in three sonnets by the Golden-Age Spanish poet Luis de Góngora: ‘Al tramontar del sol, la ninfa mía’ (1582), ‘Tres veces de Aquilón el soplo airado’ (1582) and ‘Los blancos lilios que de ciento en ciento’ (1609). Through close readings, it examines how the image serves as a metatextual symb…
Dress, Desire, and Displacement in Góngora’s Sonnets
Ces dernières années, les études critiques ont souligné le rôle du regard — le plaisir de la vue — dans la représentation du désir chez Góngora. Cet article met l’emphase sur le rôle d’intermédiaire du désir dans la poésie de Góngora. L’analyse se penche sur un groupe de sonnets qui représentent diverses robes, « Oh piadosa pared, merecedora » (1582), « Culto Jurado, si mi bella dama » (1583), et « Del color noble que a la piel vellosa » (1584). …
Pointed Poetry
Studies of Góngora's Petrarchism have generally focused on his early work: particularly the sonnets of the 1580s. At the end of his career, however, Góngora revisited the Petrarchan mode of his first period in a series of sonnets. In this article, I explore this return to Petrarchism and the attitude of the mature poet toward the Petrarchan tradition. The essay focuses on three late sonnets which share a series of characteristics: 'Al tronco Fili…
Mortgaged Dreams
Blonde Trouble
In the months after the death of Robespierre, blond wigs became the fad among Parisian women, a trend repeatedly denounced in the press and in plays. My essay explores the politics of female self-fashioning in this transitional moment by examining a series of comedies about false blondes. Studying the works in relation to one another and to audience reactions, it shows how the controversial new hairstyle offered an occasion for reflecting upon th…
Nature and Nation in Emilia Pardo Bazán's Insolación
In Chapter 2 of Emilia Pardo Bazan's Insolacion (1889), Gabriel Pardo explains the lesson he has learned in the author's earlier novel, La madre naturaleza (1887), in which he also appears: Nature
Importing Madame Bovary
After its succ̈es de scandale in France in 1856, Flaubert's Madame Bovary traveled across Europe leaving in its wake controversy, debate and a trail of imitations and rewritings. At times, these adaptations were so close that contemporaries dismissed them as plagiarisms; yet paradoxically the same novels achieved canonical status in their national traditions. This study traces Madame Bovary's journey abroad and seeks to understand why the novel w…

'Yo que no sé apearme'
In 'El trovador colombiano', the second story of the collection El hombre que parecía un caballo, Rafael Arévalo Martínez develops his notion of the process of literary creation. According to this view, poetic inspiration does not depend upon the power or control exercised by the writer, but on his powerlessness, his/her passivity, and his inadequacy when trying to understand a complex and enigmatic reality; the artist achieves an intuition of th…
