ABSTRACT The lesbian past is difficult to recover because traces of it are sparse in the archives. This archival absence, however, is not a straightforward effect of silencing. This paper shows how lesbian invisibility was a conscious production, a shield to protect queer women's lives. Using the often misogynist nineteenth-century French sapphic canon, women seeking women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries found ways of communicating privately in public in newspaper classifieds and correspondence sections using characters, details, and tropes from these works and turning them away from their original moralizing ends.

ABSTRACT This article revisits Villiers de L'Isle-Adam's political affinities with fin-de-siècle anarchism through a reading of two of his late short stories, ‘Le Banquet des Éventualistes' and ‘L'Etna chez soi'. My re-evaluation involves moving away from l'ère des attentats of 1892–94 and returning to the Paris Commune as a key event for anarchism. Drawing on the work of Kristin Ross and Julia Nicholls as well as Villiers's own experiences of the Commune, I explore how Villiers situates anarchism within the Commune’s legacy, an act of political allyship that somewhat fittingly earns him an anarchist afterlife amongst his contemporaries and beyond.

ABSTRACT I consider materiality as a lens of art historical analysis and demonstrate how this critical framework drives us to examine the agency not just of the visible and tangible substance of a work, but also of the unseen experiences of the artist, the medium, and the viewer. Focusing on a pastel by Edgar Degas, I further contend that study of the material depths and visceral procedures of objects in this medium reveals that the artist, who would have blown away the excess dusts that accumulated as he worked, is uniquely embedded in the very material fabric of the image.

ABSTRACT Looking at the conditions of academic work in nineteenth-century French literature as well as the foundations of the discipline of literary studies, this article argues that the study of literature in an historical context allows for a flexibility in conceptual frameworks. Readings attentive to the anxiety of overinterpreting the past, creating the possibility for us to compare the differences between historical ways of ordering perception, that is to say how new concepts emerge from textual forms. Works written around the events of July 1830, Hugo’s Notre-Dame de Paris, Stendhal’s Le Rouge et le Noir, and Sand’s Indiana serve as a case study.

ABSTRACT By investigating what it calls the literary-scientific imagination, this article refocuses critical attention towards new nineteenth-century French scientific knowledge in texts outside the realist ‘canon’. Chateaubriand’s Atala (1801) reveals French natural scientific nomenclatures illuminating significant, non-Western, knowledge. Scientific discovery in ‘provincial’ France proves discipline- and genre-defining in Adrien Cranile’s little-studied Solutré (1872). Sand’s fantastical-dystopian Laura ou Voyage dans le Cristal (1864) demonstrates important re-educational review of imperial scientific progress. The shared peripheral visions, effets de l’irréel and critical-creative scientific possibility of these indicative texts demonstrate the richness of the (nineteenth-century) French literary-scientific imagination for onward study.
摘要通过考察所谓的文学科学想象，本文将批判的注意力重新集中在现实主义“正典”之外的文本中的19世纪法国新科学知识上。夏多布里昂的《阿塔拉》（1801）揭示了法国自然科学命名法，揭示了重要的非西方知识。法国“省级”的科学发现证明了阿德里安·克兰尼（Adrien Cranile）很少研究的《索鲁特》（Solutré，1872）中的学科和流派定义。Sand的奇幻反乌托邦作品《Laura ou Voyage dans le Cristal》（1864）展示了对帝国科学进步的重要再教育回顾。这些指示性文本的共同的外围愿景、irréel的影响和批判性的创造性科学可能性表明了（19世纪）法国文学科学想象力的丰富性，可供进一步研究。

ABSTRACT Gender-focused studies of nineteenth-century French literature and history in the last few decades have often relied on heteronormative and gender normative paradigms. Using Rachilde as an example, I demonstrate how trans studies can offer tools through which to recover the gender-creative past. These tools are meant to work in concert with feminist and queer theories, while centering gender in a broad sense by focusing on challenges to the gender binary, modes of gender expression, attention to the material body, and a felt sense of gender.

ABSTRACT This essay surveys recent francophone historiography of the Nineteenth Century. It focussed on three areas of research in particular: the french tradition of l’histoire des sensibilités; historical works that grapple with time, space, and scales of analysis; and the poetics of writing history in dialogue with literature. In each of these areas, the essay finds evidence of innovative and creative scholarship that is changing our understanding of nineteenth-century France and the French empire.

ABSTRACT This essay takes the Paris underground as a ‘naturalcultural contact zone’ that allows us to consider what current eco-critical discussions of the Anthropocene might contribute to nineteenth-century French studies. Although the origin-point of the anthropocene era continues to be debated, some scholars point to late eighteenth-and early nineteenth-century geological theories of deep time as causing a crisis of representation; the Paris basin emerges as a stratigraphic site that makes visible the incommensurability of human and Earth timescales. I put recent critical work on non-human agency of la terre into dialogue with writings by Nadar, Simonin, and Balzac.

ABSTRACT This is the first 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.

ABSTRACT Cosmopolitanism has been the subject of considerable recent academic inquiry, but the frequently vexed concept has never attracted much interest, to date, in French studies. Yet a cosmopolitan ethos is central to women's cultural production in nineteenth-century France and provides a valuable lens through which to consider networks of meaning and collaborative conversations across the boundaries of nations/languages/cultures. I read George Sand's Consuelo (1842-43) and the career of mezzo-soprano Pauline Viardot-Garcia (1821-1910), to whom the novel was dedicated, as interdependent expressions of women's cosmopolitanism marked by a shared vision of cross-cultural engagement with the politics of difference, mobility, and identity.
