"De la phrase au texte et à l'oeuvre, la forme brève représente, dans son principe même d'écriture, une visée de densité et une puissance singulière de sens, en deçà des divers genres qu'elle peut investir et de ses modalités historiques - brevitas antique, idéal classique de plénitude et d'universalité, goût romantique pour le fragment, esthétique contemporaine de la rupture et de l'éclatement. Quelle force propre la brièveté renferme-t-elle, par quoi s'impose-t-elle, quel genre d'adhésion suscite-t-elle? Ses pouvoirs présentent un large spectre, de la séduction exercée par la piquante ingéniosité d'une épigramme ou l''obscure clarté' d'un aphorisme, jusqu'aux injonctions du slogan et de la 'parole autoritaire'. Si la brièveté représente parfois le moyen d'avoir le dernier mot ou d'imposer le silence, de dominer l'autre par une formule lapidaire et par la clôture du sens, elle donne aussi beaucoup à entendre et à pen ser, elle stimule souvent la réflexion et l'interprétation. Telles sont les questions étudiées ici à travers vingt et une contributions littéraires, qui portent sur des domaines variés : les modèles latins (épigrammes de Catulle et Martial, sentences de Sénèque, 'Distiques de Caton'), la maxime classique comme énoncé de vérité (La Rochefoucauld) avec ses réécritures ludiques (Lemaitre et Bénabou); le rôle de l'emblème dans l'Espagne du Siècle d'Or, notamment dans l'esthétique des Vanités, sa fonction aussi dans le savoir médical au XVIIe siècle ; les 'remarques' incisives de Nodier sur les dictionnaires, les préceptes de concision dans l'enseignement rhétorique au XIXe siècle, les aspects du bref dans l'oeuvre de Claudel, le court et le long dans l'échange épistolaire (avec le cas de C. Pozzi et P. Valéry) ; en poésie, les performances de l'abrègement (Queneau, Derème), le lien entre aphorisme et photographie chez Jacq ues Roubaud, l'art du peu chez Philippe Denis ; dans le genre narratif enfin, les poétiques du récit bref (Jean-Pierre Camus, Gogol, Poe, Melville), la remise en cause des normes romanesques dans les "récits de fille" (Huysmans, E. de Goncourt) et dans la nouvelle (Tchekhov, Schnitzler, Pirandello, Joyce). Ces travaux sont publiés sous la direction de deux enseignants-chercheurs de l'équipe 'Interactions culturelles et discursives' à l'université de Tours : Élisabeth Gavoille, maître de conférences HDR de langue et littérature latines, et Philippe Chardin, professeur de littérature comparée."--Page [4] of cover.

Building on recent transformative theories of influence, John Foster explores the many ways Nietzsche's intellectual and artistic example helped shape an interconnected series of major literary projects from 1900 to the 1940s. He portrays Nietzsche as a stimulating but disturbing force who left a well-defined legacy of concerns that modernists appropriated for their fiction. The author focuses particularly on Gide, D. H. Lawrence, Malraux, and Mann, analyzing their strategies of acceptance, revision, and subversion.Originally published in 1982.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The concept of self-motion is not only fundamental in Aristotle's argument for the Prime Mover and in ancient and medieval theories of nature, but it is also central to many theories of human agency and moral responsibility. In this collection of mostly new essays, scholars of classical, Hellenistic, medieval, and early modern philosophy and science explore the question of whether or not there are such things as self-movers, and if so, what their self-motion consists in. They trace the development of the concept of self-motion from its formulation in Aristotle's metaphysics, cosmology, and philosophy of nature through two millennia of philosophical, religious, and scientific thought. This volume contains "Self-Movers" (David Furley), "Aristotle on Self-Motion" (Mary Louise Gill), "Aristotle on Perception, Appetition, and Self-Motion" (Cynthia Freeland), "Self-Movement and External Causation" (Susan Sauvé Meyer), "Aristotle on the Mind's Self-Motion" (Michael Wedin), "Mind and Motion in Aristotle" (Christopher Shields), "Aristotle's Prime Mover" (Aryeh Kosman), "The Transcendence of the Prime Mover" (Lindsay Judson), "Self-Motion in Stoic Philosophy" (David Hahm), "Duns Scotus on the Reality of Self-Change" (Peter King), "Ockham, Self-Motion, and the Will" (Calvin Normore), and "Natural Motion and Its Causes: Newton on the 'Vis Insita' of Bodies" (J. E. McGuire).Originally published in 1994.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
