À travers ses portraits littéraires de poètes et de prosateurs publiés dans des revues et rassemblés en 1889 dans la première édition d'Appreciations, Walter Pater (1839-1894) propose une certaine histoire littéraire anglaise depuis le xviie siècle jusqu'à William Morris et Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Abordant une grande diversité d'oeuvres dans leur caractère créatif pour les situer dans la trajectoire intellectuelle de leurs auteurs, Pater les replace au coeur du dialogue qu'elles entretiennent avec la culture anglaise. Connu comme prosateur et critique d'art, Pater se révèle critique littéraire sensible et stimulant, élaborant ses propres conditions de canonicité tout en célébrant la langue anglaise. Les textes présentés et annotés ici sont traduits pour la première fois.

De l'œuvre très riche de Bernard Mandeville, la postérité n'a guère retenu que la très controversée Fable des abeilles, qui lui vaut encore aujourd'hui de passer pour l'apôtre du libéralisme le plus cynique. Son Traité des passions hypocondriaques et hystériques, seul ouvrage médical de ce médecin philosophe, fait partie de ses œuvres les moins connues en Grande-Bretagne comme en France. Il mérite cependant d'être lu à plus d'un titre, car Mandeville y fait entendre un discours pragmatique étonnamment moderne sur la relation entre le malade et le patient. La parole et le récit de soi sont au centre du processus de guérison, et annoncent la cure par la parole théorisée par la psychanalyse. La forme du dialogue n'y est pas une simple stratégie didactique, elle est le véhicule de la cure et la cure elle-même. Le Traité de Mandeville s'inscrit également dans une tradition de réflexion sur la mélancolie qui remonte à l'antiquité mais qui affirme son actualité au xviie siècle avec la parution de l'œuvre majeure de Robert Burton (The Anatomy of Melancholy) en 1621, et devient ce « mal anglais » que décrira George Cheyne un siècle plus tard (The English Malady), en 1733, soit trois ans seulement après la seconde édition révisée et augmentée du Traité de Mandeville.

A person who reads a book for self-improvement rather than aesthetic pleasure is "reading up." Reading Up is Amy Blair's engaging study of popular literary critics who promoted reading generally and specific books as vehicles for acquiring cultural competence and economic mobility. Combining methodologies from the history of the book and the history of reading, to mass-cultural studies, reader-response criticism, reception studies, and formalist literary analysis, Blair shows how such critics influenced the choices of striving readers and popularized some elite writers.

À la fin du xixe siècle aux États-Unis, la littérature d'écrivains noirs était encore placée sous le signe du soupçon, et ses auteurs demeuraient des exceptions. En publiant son premier recueil de nouvelles en 1899 dans l'une des plus grandes maisons d'édition de l'époque, Charles W. Chesnutt allait devenir un pionnier de la littérature noire du xxe siècle. Redécouvert dans les années 1960, méconnu en France, cet auteur figure aujourd'hui parmi les classiques de la littérature des États-Unis. Son accès à la publication dans une société profondément discriminatoire, au moment où l'édition américaine se constituait en véritable industrie et voyait se transformer la relation éditeur-auteur, nous pousse à interroger la complexité des relations entre éditeurs blancs et auteurs noirs. Cette histoire particulière éclaire plus largement un pan du développement de l'histoire de l'édition aux États-Unis, entre 1880 et 1910. Ancrée dans une double tradition française et anglo-saxonne, cette étude propose de retracer le trajet et la formation de cet écrivain africain-américain depuis son désir d'écriture, sa formation, l'apprentissage d'une profession, jusqu'à la matérialisation de son texte, et la diffusion de son premier livre. Au terme de cette trajectoire, c'est bien le passage par lequel The Conjure Woman devint livre qui se dévoile, révélant les mécanismes de la métamorphose du texte en objet de lecture.

The Francophone Caribbean and the American South are sites born of the plantation, the common matrix for the diverse nations and territories of the circum-Caribbean. This book takes as its premise that the basic configuration of the plantation, in terms of its physical layout and the social relations it created, was largely the same in the Caribbean and the American South. Essays written by leading authorities in the field examine the cultural, social, and historical affinities between the Francophone Caribbean and the American South, including Louisiana, which among the Southern states has had a quite particular attachment to France and the Francophone world. The essays focus on issues of history, language, politics and culture in various forms, notably literature, music and theatre. Considering figures as diverse as Barack Obama, Frantz Fanon, Miles Davis, James Brown, Edouard Glissant, William Faulkner, Maryse Condé and Lafcadio Hearn, the essays explore in innovative ways the notions of creole culture and creolization, terms rooted in and indicative of contact between European and African people and cultures in the Americas, and which are promoted here as some of the most productive ways for conceiving of the circum-Caribbean as a cultural and historical entity.
