Lucien Goldmann et la vision romantique du monde
Disons d’emblée, pour situer les analyses qui vont suivre, que nous, les auteurs du présent essai, nous sommes inspirés – individuellement et ensemble, tout au long de nos carrières de chercheurs – de l’œuvre de Lucien Goldmann. Quand nous nous sommes rencontrés à la fin des années 1970, nous étions déjà des « goldmanniens » de longue date, ayant tous deux étudié avec lui : Robert Sayre en tant que « graduate student » américain pendant une année…
Raymond Williams, Romanticism and Nature
This article discusses the important British social, literary and cultural critic, Raymond Williams, in his relation to Romanticism, seen as a broad movement of protest expressed in many cultural fields against the conditions of life in capitalist modernity. After exploring the Romantic dimension of Williams's major works, including Culture and Society [Williams, Raymond. 1958. Culture and Society, 1780–1950. New York: Harper & Row], The Country …
Marx, Engels Met les écrivains romantiques
Este ensaio explora os diálogos entre Marx, Engels e escritores românticos, como Heine, Balzac e Hugo. Os autores argumentam que, apesar das críticas de Marx e Engels ao idealismo e à visão de mundo burguesa presente no romantismo, ambos reconheceram o valor da crítica social e da representação realista da sociedade capitalista nas obras desses autores. O ensaio destaca a influência do romantismo na formação do pensamento de Marx e Engels, partic…
Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity
Romanticism is a worldview that finds expression over a whole range of cultural fields—not only in literature and art but in philosophy, theology, political theory, and social movements. In Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity Michael Lowy and Robert Sayre formulate a theory that defines romanticism as a cultural protest against modern bourgeois industrial civilization and work to reveal the unity that underlies the extraordinary diversity o…
Recovering the Prairie
Prairie Prospects: The Aesthetics of Plainness
The ways American prairie landscapes have been used and understood, since the first Euro-American encounters with them in the early 19th century, are inseparable from how they have been seen and described . The converse is no less true for pictorial depictions and verbal accounts. Far from being disassociated, the differing actions of perception and utilization are in fact interdependent, and as such have had far-reaching consequences for human i…
Romantismo como visão feminista: A busca de Christa Wolf
Poucos autores modernos deram tanta força de expressão à "afinidade eletiva" entre o romantismo e o feminismo quanto o fez Christa Wolf. Quando nos referimos a ela como escritora romântica, não só levamos em consideração seu interesse explícito pelas escritoras românticas do início do século XIX, como Caroline von Günderrode e Bettina von Arnim, mas também, e acima de tudo, sua própria visão de mundo romântica, e a relação desta com o marxismo e …
L’expérience et l’interprétation de la crise chez Crèvecoeur
A number of the texts in St. John de Crèvecœur's Letters From an American Farmer and Sketches of 18th-Century America reveal a complex vision of the crisis occasioned by the social turmoil of the American Revolution, a vision that expresses itself both in terms of lived experience and of reflective interpretation. The revolutionary crisis is seen to take significantly different forms on the frontier and in the more settled areas. These texts thro…

La guerre d’Espagne: Écrivains et écriture aux Etats-Unis
The Spanish Civil War constituted one of the major focuses of political commitment for American writers in the 1930s. Similar to overall American public opinion, American writers strongly leaned toward the Republican side in the conflict. They supported the loyalists through a variety of activities, in Spain as well as the US, and through their writings, fictional and non-fictional. In their relation to the war they adopted a number of different …

Romantisme anti-capitaliste » et révolution chez Freneau

Among the Romantics one can find both partisans and adversaries of the French Revolution. In the camp of the partisans there exists an apparently paradoxical current ; politic…
Anglo-American Writers, the Communist Movement and the Spanish Civil War: The Case of Dos Passos
The Spanish Civil War, a high point of «commitment» for Anglo-American writers, played an ambivalent role in their intellectual trajectories vis-à-vis Communism. A common pattern consisted of « fellow-traveling» with Stalinism, followed by a crisis of doubt, identification with a Leftist dissident tendency, and eventually total rejection of Communism. In some cases the Spanish war hastened, while in others it retarded this process. For Dos Passos…

Solitude in Society: A Sociological Study in French Literature
Robert Sayre brings a special kind of literary intelligence to his study of the problem of isolation in modern society. He gives us a spirited instance of a sociological approach to literature, more specifically a Marxist approach that forcefully links a literary theme to a social fact. In contrast to the existentialist interpretation of alienation (in which isolation is the eternal dilemma of Man), a Marxist analysis interprets solitude in socie…

Lowenthal, Goldmann and the Sociology of Literature
In the development of the sociology of literature, there has been considerable disagreement over the definition of the field and over the boundaries of its intellectual domain. While this generates important ideological debates within the diversity of literary and sociological theory, the field can be seen as characterized by critical discourse that in any way links literary with social phenomena. But precisely what links are most significant rem…
