Edgar Poe et ses oeuvres

« Voici, mes chers lecteurs, un romancier américain de haute réputation ; vous connaissez son nom, beaucoup sans doute, mais peu ses ouvrages. Permettez-moi donc de vous raconter l'homme et son ¿uvre ; ils occupent tous les deux une place importante dans l'histoire de l'imagination, car Poe a créé un genre à part, ne procédant que de lui-même, et dont il me paraît avoir emporté le secret ; on peut le dire chef de l'École de l'étrange ; il a reculé les limites de l'impossible ; il aura des imitateurs. Ceux-ci tenteront d'aller au-delà, d'exagérer sa manière ; mais plus d'un croira le surpasser, qui ne l'égalera même pas. » (Jules Verne, Edgard Poe et ses ¿uvres)Cette étude littéraire des ¿uvres d¿Egard Poe a été rédigée probablement en 1862 et publiée en 1864.

Faulkner’s Reception of Apuleius’ The Golden Ass in The Reivers

A timely and insightful clarification on the largely unexamined assumption of the centrality of The Metamorphoses of Apuleius in the American novelist’s last published novel. By painstakingly offering new readings of both works, which can be read independently, Provencal constructs a comparative context for the close scrutiny of the receptions and how they contribute to a better understanding of Faulkner’s message of stoicism and hope to his readers. This triple effort will no doubt arouse the genuine interest of William Faulkner’s and Apuleius’ scholars alike, as well as those actively engaged in giving precise critical assessments in the wider field of reception studies.
