Les poètes aiment les oiseaux. De tous temps, la troupe ailée a porté l'inspiration, favorisé la muse. De façon universelle, l'oiseau est associé aux réalités spirituelles, et souvent, il symbolise l'âme elle-même. Le vol évoque naturellement la liberté, et il s'y ajoute une note d'enthousiasme et d'espérance, nécessaires à l'essor. L'aile représente l'évasion, ou encore la protection pour celui qui s'y réfugie, et le nid est une image du foyer, de la sécurité et du bonheur. Le chant, enfin, incarne l'harmonie et la joie de vivre. Les oiseaux ne sont jamais loin du paradis. Dans la présentation, il a paru opportun d'adopter un point de vue thématique, à l'intérieur de deux grands registres distingués préalablement. La fauconnerie est-elle un élément de la narration, ou y fait-on référence pa rune comparaison ou quelque autre figure de style? Cette première interrogation suggère une division des emplois en deux catégories. Dans la première partie, l'analyse des textes s'attache à l'oiseau de chasse en tant que réalité, c'est-à-dire comme donnée empirique que les auteurs évoquent au fil de la narration. Le motif intéresse-t-il chacune des trois composantes de la fiction narrative: le cadre, les personnages et l'action? Le rapace fait partie de l'environnement naturel ou urbain, qu'il contribue à concrétiser. Dans la seconde partie, l'oiseau de chasse intéresse non plus par ce qu'il est, mais par ce qu'il représente, autrement dit, par le sens qui se surimpose à son être. Tel est tout d'abord le cas dans le comparaisons, particulièrement fréquentes dans les textes épiques et romanesques. On dégagera les divers types de similitudes établies entre l'homme et l'oiseau de proie, en essayant d'en découvrir le fondement, la portée et le style. Il faudra être attentif ici aux écarts, aux innovations.

Malcolm K. Read employs a psychoanalytic model which sees civilization as a manner of instinctual renunciation in this analysis of selected texts from the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. Focusing on their moments of silence and contradiction, he demonstrates that certain attitudes toward the body expressed in these texts have a basis, albeit unconscious, in a motivation which is ultimately political. The central topics, deeply intertwined thematically and theoretically, relate to the nature and development of language; to the Baroque art of Gongora and Quevedo; to Feijoo's de

The distrust and hatred of matrimony is a recurring theme in Western literature. In this volume, the authors show that in their repeated imagery, continuous themes, and rhetorical devices, misogamous texts closely parallel and reflect economic and demographic shifts, and theological and legal innovation. Analysis of the literature demonstrates a link between the growing secularism and careerism of the late middle ages and the reduction of women's social status and public options.

Murder fascinates readers, and when a woman murders, that fascination is compounded. The paradox of mother, lover, or wife as killer fills us with shock. A woman's violence is unexpected, unacceptable. Yet killing an abusive man can make her a cultural heroine.In Double Jeopardy, Virginia Morris examines the complex roots of contemporary attitudes toward women who kill by providing a new perspective on violent women in Victorian literature. British novelists from Dickens to Hardy, in their characterizations, contradicted the traditional Western assumption that women criminals were ""unnatural
