abstract:Charlotte Lennox's The Female Quixote is a gender-bent version of Cervantes's Don Quixote, and its protagonist Arabella believes the world is like her romance novels. While most critics see the novel as a triumph of reason over romance, this article argues that it is in fact a rewriting of the quixotic genre: rather than awakening to reason, Lennox's quixote instead molds the world to her romantic expectations. Building on Jodi Wyett's feminist reading of the text, this article uses both the methods and impact of Arabella's "mimetic influence" (in Aaron Hanlon's words) to demonstrate her narrative agency and ultimate success. By resisting genre norms, the novel also resists the social expectations those norms rely on. In Lennox's hands, the quixotic genre becomes a demonstration of the power of idealistic fiction and the imaginative women who read it.

abstract:This review essay of John Pier's edited volume Contemporary French and Francophone Narratology offers a critical synthesis of its contributions by some of the leading contemporary French narratologists by assessing their difference from Anglo-American trends in the field, especially postclassical narratology, and situating them within the broader historical evolution of narratology. It first sketches the rise to prominence of classical (French) narratology in the heyday of 1960s and early 1970s structuralism before retracing its decline in subsequent decades. It also lists the flagship volumes and dedicated series that have appeared since the birth of postclassical narratology as an indication of the revival of the field before engaging with the various articles gathered in the volume, emphasizing their uneasy relation to Anglo-American practices, and critically reviewing the strengths and relative weaknesses of the overall collection, especially in the more militant final essay.

abstract:What are the relations among writing, thinking, and remembering? This article sets forth the epistemological claim that Georges Perec's book W, or the Memory of Childhood is an integrated part of Perec's cognitive process of remembering. By drawing on the extended mind thesis, as well as recent work on memory within cognitive science, it argues that Perec's cognitive processes are extended into his text and, furthermore, that they are partly accessible to his readers. This approach thus sidesteps many of the debates regarding the author's intention in literary studies by arguing that what is at stake in W is not whether Perec's intention is deducible or not by the text, but rather how much and in what way the author's extended thought processes are available in the text. In the conclusion, some of the implications of this view for the study of fictionalized accounts of the past are sketched out.

It did not take long to find that poetics did not easily agree with cultural studies as they were proposed. The word, reduced to a sign and viewed as a function, was cut off from its poetic significance. In search for a new poetics, a special interest has been recently demonstrated toward "historical poetics" only vaguely heard of before thanks to the eminent Russian scholars (the Formalists, Bakhtin, and Propp) but still less known in its original form worked out by Alexander Veselovsky.

abstract:At least thirty of the epigrams that comprise Robert Herrick's Hesperides: or, The Works both Humane & Divine (1648) are known to have been based on John Gregory's Notes and Observations (1646). Having been pieced together out of Gregory's prose, and lacking in any divine inspiration, these poems—or paraphrases—are reviled in criticism. Moving beyond the particular esthetic judgment, however, a comparison of Herrick's Gregory-poems with their prose source allows readers to identify what decisions he made when crafting a line of verse. In particular, these poems reveal how Herrick manipulated a line semantically and metrically to make poetry from prose. It is true that few readers will be thrilled by Herrick's paraphrases, but as a poetry of process, they are evidence of the mechanical act of writing, and their study forces into view Herrick's activity as a poet.
摘要：罗伯特·赫里克（Robert Herrick）的《赫斯佩里得斯》（Hesperides:or，the Works both Humane&Divine，1648）中至少有三十句警句是基于约翰·格雷戈里（John Gregory）的《笔记与观察》（Notes and Observations，1646）。这些诗是根据格雷戈里的散文拼凑而成的，缺乏任何神圣的灵感，或转述，在批评中遭到唾骂。然而，超越了特定的审美判断，将赫里克的格雷戈里诗歌与其散文来源进行比较，可以让读者确定他在创作一行诗时做出了什么决定。特别是，这些诗歌揭示了赫里克如何从语义和度量上操纵一行，使诗歌从散文中提炼出来。诚然，很少有读者会对赫里克的转述感到兴奋，但作为一首过程诗，它们是写作机械行为的证据，他们的研究迫使人们审视赫里克作为诗人的活动。

abstract:Focusing on the transformative textual afterlife of James Thomson's tragic-sentimental vignette of Celadon and Amelia, this article charts later poets' engagement with the lovers by examining incarnations of poetical siblings of Thomson's "matchless pair" that were introduced in later eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century descriptive-philosophical long poems: not only will the article offer a discussion of how Thomson's model of two tragic lovers was adapted and transvalued by poets, such as Samuel Pratt, John Penwarne, and Martin Kedgwin Masters. But it will also consider how the vignette, as Thomson devised it for The Seasons, transformed into a fundamentally dramatic-narrative device that redefined the otherwise reflective-descriptive genre of the long poem.
