"Les écrivains romantiques sont confrontés à un double défi : maintenir intact, dans un monde toujours plus rationaliste mais en mal de sacré, la possibilité de l'enchantement, tout en offrant à des lecteurs avides de nouveauté un merveilleux spécifiquement moderne. Dumas relève ce défi en s'emparant de mythes contemporains comme le progrès illimité de la Science, la toute-puissance de l'Argent ou le charme de l'Ailleurs ; il modèle de façon décisive la figure du surhomme et il arpente le terrain encore largement inexploré des états psychiques hors normes. Jouant un rôle central dans l'efficacité du récit, le merveilleux n'a pas seulement pour but de captiver le lecteur, il tend aussi à l'instruire et à l'émanciper : en ressuscitant magiquement une Histoire dont il dévoile le sens politique, et en créant un légendaire visant à célébrer et à fonder, Dumas guide son lecteur vers une société idéale que les pouvoirs prophétiques du surhomme font surgir ici et maintenant. Si l'oeuvre dumasienne permet ainsi de renouveler l'approche du merveilleux, à une époque où il connaît de profondes mutations, réciproquement, cette catégorie littéraire met en lumière la cohérence et la complexité d'une oeuvre de tout premier plan"

Here for the first time is a book devoted exclusively to the topic of women’s autobiography in nineteenth-century France. Tracing the rise of autobiography in relation to women’s domestic confinement, Kathleen Hart demonstrates how Flora Tristan, George Sand, and Louise Michel transformed the genre. Inspired by Romantic socialism, each of these remarkable autobiographers links the story of her personal development to socio-historic change. In the wake of the 1830 Revolution, Tristan chronicles social unrest as she relates her progressive transformation into humanity’s "Woman Guide" in Peregrinations of a Pariah (1838). Writing in the aftermath of the 1848 Revolution, Sand consolidates her role as a mediator between the rich and the poor in Story of My Life (1854). A legend of the 1871 Paris Commune, Michel establishes herself as the poet and prophet of a mythical Revolution yet to come in her Memoirs (1886). Exploring the dynamic interplay between revolution and feminist acts of self-affirmation, Revolution and Women’s Autobiography in Nineteenth-Century France will appeal to scholars of history, French culture, literature, and women’s studies.
