developed a clearer definition of romanticism. The formation of the Cénacle in 1827 united the romantics, but they still needed "a philosophy, a theory, a clear doctrine of romanticism" (223). The romantics experienced some victory in prose, poetry, and drama. In 1829, their leader, Victor Hugo, realized they needed a "stage production of unassailable quality" in order to silence the diehards; furthermore, "he felt that such a drama should be his" (239). The French romantic struggle ended with the première of Hugo's play, Hernani, on 25 February 1830. With Hernani, theoretical discussions were over. Romanticism had found its definition. Romantic drama was a reality and, furthermore, this new aesthetic was accepted by Parisian society. Comeau has succeeded in giving the reader a relatively complete overview of the thirty-year French romantic struggle. I agree with him that Diehards and Innovators will serve well "as an interim handbook or guidebook for a readership composed of historians of the Restoration, as well as specialists and students interested in comparative and French literature" (viii).

This study is a well-documented examination of Juan Huarte de San Juan and his only treatise, Examen de ingenios para las ciencias (1575), a work that caused a profound impact on many European theologians, grammarians, philosophers, and writers. Translated into all major European languages and Latin as well, the treatise is a fascinating compendium of ideas that explores such topics as humoral psychology, vocational guidance, innovative teaching methodology, and other psychological and physiological issues, to the extent that its scope and vision remain unparalleled in its time. However, in spite of such impressive contributions in the fields of scientific and technical thought, imaginative literature, and literary criticism and theory, Huarte de San Juan has remained obscure and has not attracted due critical attention. Professor Read has successfully assessed Huarte's brilliance and importance by writing this comprehensive work of Huarte's complex and unorthodox ideas about man and the world and showing how this Renaissance physician-intellectual addressed issues that continue to be currently relevant, especially those in the realm of psychology concerning individual differences, the creative process, and man's natural versus acquired ability (even Noam Chomsky has alluded to Huarte in his research on the innate linguistic mechanism of the human mind). Following the format of the Twayne World Author Series, Professor Read provides an informative biographical and historical commentary, followed by nine chapters that examine various facets of the Examen: the nature and identity of man, faith versus reason, pedagogical theory and practice, eugenics, dietetics, and so on. Chapter Nine discusses the far-reaching influence of the Examen in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the modern period. It is easy to agree with Professor Read that Huartean scholarship needs to be enhanced by additional studies. A short conclusion along with an up-to-date selected and annotated bibliography closes the study. Professor Read's study is a useful guide for specialists and also serves to make Huarte accessible to readers at large.
本研究是对Juan Huarte de San Juan及其唯一的专著《Examen de ingenios para las ciencias》(1575)的详尽考察，这部著作对许多欧洲神学家、语法学家、哲学家和作家产生了深远的影响。这本著作被翻译成所有主要的欧洲语言和拉丁语，是一本引人入胜的思想纲要，探讨了体液心理学、职业指导、创新教学方法和其他心理和生理问题等主题，其范围和视野在当时是无与伦比的。然而，尽管在科学和技术思想、想象文学、文学批评和理论领域做出了如此令人印象深刻的贡献，圣胡安的华特仍然默默无闻，没有引起应有的批评关注。瑞德教授成功地评价了华特的才华和重要性，他将华特关于人类和世界的复杂而非正统的观点写进了这本全面的著作，并展示了这位文艺复兴时期的医生和知识分子是如何解决当今仍然相关的问题的，特别是那些在心理学领域关于个体差异、创造过程、以及人的自然能力与后天能力的对比(甚至诺姆·乔姆斯基在他关于人类思维的先天语言机制的研究中也提到了华特)。按照Twayne世界作家系列的格式，Read教授提供了一个信息丰富的传记和历史评论，然后是九个章节，检查了考试的各个方面:人的本质和身份，信仰与理性，教学理论和实践，优生学，营养学等等。第九章论述了考试对西班牙、意大利、法国、德国以及近代的深远影响。我们很容易同意里德教授的观点，即需要通过额外的学习来加强沃顿的奖学金。一个简短的结论，随着一个最新的选择和注释书目关闭研究。里德教授的研究对专家来说是一个有用的指南，也有助于让广大读者了解华特。

When Lily Briscoe finishes her painting at the end of Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, not only is she proving Charles Tansley wrong when he told her "women can't write, women can't paint" (75), she is, for the first time in Woolf's fiction, directly expressing female subjectivity. Previous characters have made the attempt. Rachel Vinrace and Septimus Smith desperately searched for alternatives to the gender roles they had been handed, but both were destroyed by the effort. Only Lily Briscoe survives the passage and reemerges, capable of articulating her vision of being a woman other than the prescribed role of Woman.' That female subjectivity can be expressed or even exist has been a subject of much recent debate. Early deconstruction and psychoanalytic theories opposed the humanistic concept of the authentic, essential self capable of autonomy and unmediated experience, insisting that human consciousness is profoundly affected, if not completely formed, by ideology and language. How can a consciousness formed by a culture experience something outside that culture? Certainly Lacan's notion of language and human development preempts women from speaking in any authentic, subjective way whatsoever. According to these theories, women are trapped in silence. Contemporary feminist theorists have found a middle ground in this controversy, which has perhaps been best expressed by Therese de Lauretis. She defines individual identity as "an ongoing construction, not a fixed point," based on "those relations-material, economic, interpersonal-which are in fact social and, in a larger perspective, historical." Meaning and subjectivity are not produced once and for all, but continually created in social practice. De Lauretis names this process "experience" (Alice 159), thus rescuing the old feminist adage "the personal is political." A gap, then, exists between the cultural construct of Woman, which is fixed, and the specific historical and personal experience of the female person, which is the site of the engendering of the female subject. Thus, women are in oscillation between the figure Woman and their own daily ongoing experience, and can enunciate female subjectivity by speaking from this gap, which de Lauretis terms "speaking from elsewhere" (Technologies 25). "Elsewhere" is not some "real place"
当莉莉·布里斯科在弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的《到灯塔去》的结尾完成她的绘画时，她不仅证明了查尔斯·坦斯利对她说的“女人不会写，女人不会画”(75)是错误的，而且在伍尔夫的小说中，她第一次直接表达了女性的主体性。之前的人物已经尝试过了。蕾切尔·文瑞斯和塞普蒂默斯·史密斯拼命地寻找性别角色的替代品，但两人都被这种努力毁掉了。只有莉莉·布里斯科(Lily Briscoe)活了下来，重新出现，能够清晰地表达她作为一个女人的愿景，而不是被规定为女人的角色。”女性主体性是否可以被表达，甚至是否存在，一直是最近备受争议的话题。早期的解构主义和精神分析理论反对人本主义关于能够自主和无中介经验的本真的、本质的自我的概念，坚持认为人类意识即使没有完全形成，也会受到意识形态和语言的深刻影响。一种文化形成的意识如何能体验到该文化之外的东西呢?当然，拉康的语言和人类发展的概念阻止了女性以任何真实的、主观的方式说话。根据这些理论，女性被困在沉默中。当代女权主义理论家在这场争论中找到了一个中间立场，特蕾莎·德·劳伦斯(Therese de Lauretis)也许是最好的表达。她将个人身份定义为“一种持续的建构，而不是一个固定点”，基于“那些关系——物质的、经济的、人际的——这些关系实际上是社会的，从更大的角度来看，是历史的。”意义和主体性不是一劳永逸地产生出来的，而是在社会实践中不断创造出来的。德·劳伦斯将这一过程命名为“经验”(Alice 159)，从而挽救了女权主义的古老格言“个人就是政治”。因此，女性的文化建构是固定的，而女性个人的具体历史和个人经验是女性主体产生的场所，两者之间存在着鸿沟。因此，女性在女性形象和她们自己的日常持续经验之间摇摆，并且可以通过从这个差距中说话来阐明女性主体性，德·劳伦斯称之为“从别处说话”(技术25)。“别处”不是某个“真实的地方”
