E. Wilputte
ABSTRACT: The Epistles of Clio and Strephon (1720), by Martha Fowke and William Bond, is a poetic dialogue of twenty-seven letters between two poets that incorporates a battle for authorial subjectivity. Not only must Clio contend with Strephon's efforts to eroticize her; standing between the reader and Clio's poems are three thresholds of paratexts. The multi-author, hybrid text as a whole illuminates the pressures exerted on women writers by their male peers. Working beyond Genette on textuality, the article engages work on anthology-making, triangulation, elegy's male lineage, and gender-crossing to demonstrate the textual complications of establishing a woman poet's authority.

Roger Navas-Solé
ABSTRACT: This article studies Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve's and Victor Hugo's clashing perspectives on Don Quijote in texts written in 1864, namely, the former's review of Doré's illustrations for the novel and the latter's Shakespeare . Considering the intellectual history between the two, the article argues that they use Don Quijote to promote their different literary and political agendas, which leads to overly complicated readings of the novel. They both interpret Sancho's way of dealing with Quijote as a metaphor for the attitude that the French nation should have towards Napoleon III, but they fundamentally disagree in their descriptions of that relationship.
