Sommario/riassunto

1842. La Comédie humaine, Œuvres complètes de M. de Balzac... Ecce Balzac : sont donnés comme une évidence la stature d'un auteur et le profil d'un lecteur idéal. Mais ce double titre révèle un coup de force, sinon une fuite en avant, à la fois un défi et un déni, l'aveu déguisé d'une dépendance à l'égard du marché et l'affirmation souveraine d'une autonomie, à contretemps : la conjoncture, le moment engageait la librairie romancière au partage avec le journal, à la pratique du feuilleton, aux effets publicitaires. Le moment imaginaire fut aussi un tombeau. Ci-gît Balzac, dans sa gloire et son malheur.  Le présent ouvrage traite de la tension qui fonde, par écarts et éclats, La Comédie humaine comme texte de fiction et entraîne le roman balzacien dans un mouvement perpétuel, sous le signe de l'inachèvement.

Sommario/riassunto

Examining women's agency in the past has taken on new urgency in the current moment of resurgent patriarchy, Women's Marches, and the global #MeToo movement. The essays in this collection consider women's agency in the Renaissance and early modern period, an era that also saw both increasing patriarchal constraints and new forms of women's actions and activism. They address a capacious set of questions about how women, from their teenage years through older adulthood, asserted agency through social practices, speech acts, legal disputes, writing, viewing and exchanging images, travel, and community building. Despite family and social pressures, the actions of girls and women could shape their lives and challenge male-dominated institutions. This volume includes thirteen essays by scholars from many disciplines, which analyze people, texts, objects, and images from many different parts of Europe, as well as things and people that crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific.
