ABSTRACT Building on a tantalizing footnote by Anne-Marie Christin, my article analyses the illustrated editions of André Gide's Le Voyage d'Urien in tandem. It looks at the 1893 edition, a collaboration between Gide and Maurice Denis, and the 1928 edition, featuring illustrations by Alfred Latour. I explore the impact the two sets of illustrations might have on our reading of Urien's travels, demonstrating the potential these divergent visuals have to (re)shape our perceptions of the narrative's central journey. The co-existence of these editions also helps us ask how the illustrations add to and even disrupt conceptions of the reading process.

ABSTRACT This article focuses on human-thing interconnections in Baudelaire’s 1853 essay on toys, ‘Morale du joujou’, and shows how their entanglement finds echoes in his aesthetic writing. The article shows how the essay on toys indirectly thematizes the reciprocally transformative, embodied and participatory process that can also be traced in Baudelaire’s account of artistic creativity. The human imagination is presented in Baudelaire’s essay, as in his art criticism, as entering into a kind of dialogue with the external world, which complicates the line between, and any hierarchical relationship between, subject and object.

ABSTRACT This article analyses interconnections between the newspaper press and the creative processes of Gérard de Nerval and Charles Baudelaire. From Nerval's dizzying challenge to press restrictions in Les Faux Saulniers (1850), to Baudelaire's harnessing of the cacophony of La Presse in his placement of the petits poèmes en prose, the press environment becomes a unique site of experimentation in prose. Focusing on their exploitation of the feuilleton as a means of contending with press restrictions, I demonstrate that these poets' engagement with newspapers is inseparable from their aesthetic achievements.

ABSTRACT Critics and art historians writing about Jeanne Duval, the subject of Édouard Manet’s 1862 La Maîtresse de Baudelaire, have provided multiple reactions to her, many of them viciously racist. Contemporary novels and short stories have appeared that counter the negative constructions of Duval, casting her not as la muse malade of Baudelaire’s poetry, but using her as a stimulus for their creative inspiration as Baudelaire himself had done. Recent efforts by artists such as Maud Sulter and Lorraine O’Grady have dismantled the scaffolding of contempt that has distorted Duval’s reputation by appropriating nineteenth-century images within a twenty-first-century context.

In this special issue we honour the remarkable academic career and prolific scholarship of Barbara Wright (1935–2019) who significantly impacted the field of nineteenthcentury French studies. Her twenty-two books and ninety-five articles testify to her far-ranging academic interests and her authoritative command of interdisciplinarity. Her combination of a well-honed critical eye with a depth of historical knowledge provided a frame for a variety of studies on Honoré de Balzac, Charles Baudelaire, Gustave Moreau, Hector Berlioz, Marcel Proust, Edgar Quinet, Théophile Gautier, Théodore de Banville and Gustave Courbet, to name a few in the panorama of major figures whose works transformed the literary and visual landscape of nineteenth-century France. Her primary focus and most prolific work focused on the career of Eugène Fromentin. Her 1966 edition of his novel Dominique is considered definitive while the 1995 edition of his correspondence, running to some two and a half thousand pages, remains unsurpassed. Her 1987 edition of his paintings and drawings had to be expanded to two volumes in 2008 because of all the discoveries she had made in the meantime. Her highly praised critical biography of Fromentin ran to over 600 pages and was awarded the Prix Roger Bonniot by the Académie de Saintonge for its French translation. In recognition, the city of La Rochelle made her an honorary citizen and dedicated a pathway in her name (Figure 1). This special issue seeks, similarly, to honour a remarkable academic path-maker, on behalf of her immediate colleagues and former students at Trinity College Dublin (four former students of Trinity’s French Department are included in this volume), and on behalf of her extensive and intersecting circles of academic friends in French studies (some of whom contributed to Conroy and Gratton eds. 2005), particularly those associated with the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes and its North American counterpart, Nineteenth-Century French Studies. In her prologue to the issue, Claire Moran, writing as Wright’s former PhD student, highlights the qualities that distinguish preeminent role models and mentors who open doors to their fields and the people in them. The subsequent two articles, by Robert Lethbridge and Mary Orr respectively, turn to the painter and writer to whom Wright devoted the bulk of her career: Fromentin. The following four pieces, by Sarah Gubbins, Maria C. Scott, Michael Tilby and Therese Dolan, all share a more or less direct focus on Baudelaire, who was a major research and teaching interest of Wright’s. Elizabeth Geary Keohane’s article, like others in the volume, bears witness to Wright’s stimulating work on the visual arts, including her interest in word-image relations. Finally, Roger Little, as a longstanding Trinity colleague of

ABSTRACT This personal tribute focuses on Barbara Wright's legacy to academia, highlighting her integrity and kindness. It discusses the importance of care and respect, as well as connection and exchange, as exemplified by Barbara. The tribute argues that a deep curiosity about people and about the past characterized Barbara's life and work. It draws on memories from Barbara's friends and the author's own personal relationship to show how, in both big and small ways, Barbara shaped academia and its people. It highlights how modern-day universities could benefit from taking a closer look at Barbara's exceptional professional and personal legacy.

ABSTRACT Although privileged in both classical and modern literature, suicide’s role in the Decadent literature of the late nineteenth century remains an underexplored and fruitful topic. This article proposes a Decadent theory of self-destruction that decentres the physical act itself. Suicide, in Decadence, functions as a type of escapism, mobilising the idea of death without actually engaging with it. By exploring works of Decadent authors such in the French tradition, this article extrapolates a Decadent positionality to suicide; by casting decadence as indefinitely deferring the instantaneous into the eternal, suicide becomes an abstract horizon, rather than an existential threat.

ABSTRACT The article explores John Ruskin's legacy in Marcel Proust's literary production through the lens of phenomenological interpretations of place and landscape in twentieth- and twenty-first-century cultural geography. In both authors, landscape is integrated with a subjective geography; nevertheless, while Ruskin absorbs objective topography into a personal narrative, Proust's sense of communality allows his landscapes to transcend the dimension of a mere solipsism. Finally, the exploration of Ruskin's and Proust's landscape writing testifies to a spatial shift based on the increased awareness of the fracture between the self and the world in modernist literature.

ABSTRACT This is the second instalment of a two-part thematic review of nineteenth-century French research in the Anglophone sphere. The review sets aside the standard sub-disciplinary categories in order to envision a laboratorium, a space of multiple confluent and contiguous lines of exploratory work. In this space, more fluid thematic connections surface between projects irrespective of their focus, their methodology, or their scale, revealing some of the major transversal routes of research across the recent past and the present, and, speculatively, into the future. The two-part review explores biography / body / earth / emotion / experiment / movement / thing.
