  • Enlightened Pleasures

    Thomas M KavanaghBOOKEnlightened Pleasures2017

    Novelists, artists, and philosophers of the eighteenth century understood pleasure as a virtue—a gift to be shared with one’s companion, with a reader, or with the public. In this daring new book, Thomas Kavanagh overturns the prevailing scholarly tradition that views eighteenth-century France primarily as the incubator of the Revolution. Instead, Kavanagh demonstrates how the art and literature of the era put the experience of pleasure at the ce…

  • Epicureanism across the French Revolution

    Open AccessThomas M KavanaghCHAPTERLucretius and Modernity2016

    Understanding how the Epicureanism so central to the French Enlightenment fared during and after the difficult days of the Revolution leads to one of the most intriguing chapters within the complex history of De Rerum Natura and its readers. Jean-Charles Darmon has shown how, by the early seventeenth century, "Epicurean" had become a preferred term for designating where one placed oneself and one's enemies in the defining cultural conflicts of th…

  • The Libertine's Bluff

    Thomas M Kavanagh, Thomas KavanaghARTICLEEighteenth-Century Studies2000Citada por: 2Referências: 1

    If any one period stands as the heyday of gambling in France, it is the three-quarters of a century separating the death of Louis XIV from the storming of the Bastille and the coming of the Revolution. The years between 1715 and 1789, beginning with the Regency of Philippe d'Orléans and continuing through the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI, represent an interlude, a proliferation of brave new ideas that involved a systematic rethinking of the n…

  • Esthetics of the Moment

    Thomas M KavanaghBOOKEsthetics of the Moment1996

    The literature and art of the French Enlightenment is everywhere marked by an intense awareness of the moment. The parallel projects of living in, representing, and learning from the moment run through the Enlightenment's endeavors as tokens of an ambition and a heritage imposing its only and ultimately impossible cohesion. In this illuminating study, Thomas M. Kavanagh argues that Enlightenment culture and its tensions, contradictions, and achie…

  • Joyful Cruelty

    Thomas M Kavanagh, Clément Rosset et al.ARTICLEModern Language Notes1993

    This book combines two shorter works by Rosset, Le Principe de Cruaute and La Force Majeure, dating respectively from 1983 and 1988. The two works provide essential and highly topical illustrations of Rosset's central thesis of acceptance of real. Rosset formulates a philosophical practice that refuses to turn away from world and thus accepts a confrontation with reality (termed the real) whose immediacy comprises equal parts of violence and of o…

  • The Limits of Theory

    Scott Sprenger, Thomas M KavanaghARTICLEModern Language Notes1990

    This collection of eight essays by some of today's most innovative and seminal thinkers argues that there is a limit beyond which the enterprise of literary theory becomes something different from what it presents itself as being. These writers ask, in different ways, how theory functions and how it might preserve within its own practices and effects the freedom of reading, the presence of the real, and the challenge of a voice speaking outside t…

  • Narration in Light

    Thomas M Kavanagh, George M WilsonARTICLEModern Language Notes1987

    A full understanding and appreciation of narrative film, George Wilson argues, requires a concept of point of view necessarily distinct from, yet comparable to, contemporary theories of point of view in prose fiction. Now available in paperback, Narration in Light lays the foundations for a new account of cinematic point of view. Focusing on the special ways in which a film controls the access of its viewers to the events that constitute its narr…

    Thomas M KavanaghARTICLEEighteenth-Century Studies1982

    DESPITE HIS ENSHRINEMENT BY LITERARY HISTORY as the apostle of self-determination, as the most eloquent spokesman for an ethos of authenticity and independence, the shape of Rousseau's life and writing is very much the result of a constant, relentlesg, and often agonizing dialectic between himself as individual and a social order which, in all its various instances, he sensed as a force impinging upon, disfiguring, and attempting to silence him. …
