ABSTRACT The early drafts of Proust's Recherche discuss the novelty of the relationship between reality and literature developed by Balzac. According to Proust, Balzac infused reality itself with life, just as he infused literature with life, and indeed life with literature. This article explores the multiple valences of the concept of “life”—literary, biographical, and sociobiological—in the Recherche, notably through a reading of the comparison between society and an aquarium in A l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs. This shows how the Recherche drew on the possibilities for dialogue between literature and science around the notion of “life.”

ABSTRACT At first glance, Jules Massenet's opera Sapho (1897) might appear to water down its source material, substituting the searing social commentary of Alphonse Daudet's novel (1884) with idealised tropes of the Midi. This article, however, seeks to complicate this reading, arguing that Sapho moves beyond the regionalism of its operatic predecessors, while entirely reimagining Daudet's novel for a new medium. It highlights how the themes of nostalgia and belonging are established in Henri Cain and Arthur Bernède's libretto, reiterated by Léon Carvalho's staging, and intensified in Massenet's score, thereby nuancing and enriching our understanding of adaptation for the operatic stage.

ABSTRACT Writing about Francis Bacon, Gilles Deleuze comments on the body as the ‘zone of indiscernibility' between man and animal, especially ‘as it is flesh or meat.' Bacon's fleshy zone, I argue, finds an early illustration in Madame Bovary, where Flaubert will also incorporate notions of ‘animal life’ as described by the nineteenth-century pathologist, Xavier Bichat. This essay will examine these fleshy zones as they relate to changing ideas of skin, tactility, and those, fluid permeable zones between human and animal and between individual bodies and the penetrating forces of others and the environment.

ABSTRACT This article analyses how the nineteenth-century fictional heroines in Stendhal's Mina de Vanghel and Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's `Le Bonheur dans le crime' don a maidservant disguise in order to revolt against their society's oppressive mores and subsequently reverse the power dynamics between men and women, as well as servants and their masters and mistresses. By drawing on the period's non-literary discourses that likewise depicted a fascination with the servant's appearance, this article argues that Stendhal and Barbey were creating, as well as feeding into, a particular nineteenth-century socio-cultural construct of the female servant as a rebellious, sexually promiscuous figure.

ABSTRACT Au cours du XIXe siècle s'affirme le concept de « ponctuation d'auteur ». Dans la fin de siècle, au moment où la « ponctuation blanche » commence à apparaître, Jules Laforgue explore les possibilités disruptives et expressives de la plus traditionnelle « ponctuation noire ». Dans cet article, nous analyserons la relation du poète avec les ponctuants, montrant qu'ils participent du niveau sémantique de son « écriture clownesque ». En particulier, à l'époque des Complaintes et de L'Imitation de Notre-Dame la Lune, la ponctuation crée une forme de « gesticulation typographique » qui a pour modèle le Pierrot des pantomimes.

ABSTRACT Grounded in Zola’s art criticism, this article analyses for the first time his writing on Fromentin over the decade 1866–76. It explores the diverse reasons for a hostility that is inseparable from a wider frame of reference in which Orientalism is perceived as emblematic of a Romantic aesthetic opposed by Zola. Paradoxically, however, Zola’s engagement with Fromentin’s Les Maîtres d’autrefois, opposed to modernist innovation, coincides with his own increasing disenchantment with Impressionism. His simultaneous re-evaluation of the Old Masters allows us to discern shared pictorial priorities which bring Zola and Fromentin into the same critical frame.

ABSTRACT This article takes its lead from Barbara Wright’s simple yet profound literary-critical imperative, ‘“Only Connect” … ’ (2010), to reflect Fromentin’s Dominique critically in Flaubert’s Salammbô – and vice versa – by means of the aesthetic compasses of critical reader response in 1862, and their authors’ earlier travel writing. In therefore arguing by example for renewed examination of important works in word and image in Second Empire France that appear the same year, the article reorientates twenty-first-century critical debate concerning the status and aesthetic perspectives of mature, representative, enduring and canonical works in nineteenth-century French and Francophone Studies.

ABSTRACT This article begins by providing a contextual account of the different ways in which contemporaries of Baudelaire and Manet subscribed to a widespread, though not universal, assumption that the two shared common artistic aims. The article then seeks to establish aesthetic parallels between Manet’s La Musique aux Tuileries (1862) and Baudelaire’s ‘Le Thyrse’ (1863). Sidestepping the vexed question of the extent to which Manet may be seen as an embodiment of Baudelaire’s peintre de la vie moderne, the analysis focuses on the heterodox function of the visual object in triggering a self-reflexive representation of an act of seeing.
