Sommario/riassunto

Ce cahier examine le rôle de l’insolite dans l’écriture, la littérature française et étrangère, en privilégiant l’époque contemporaine. La fécondité de l’insolite au niveau du langage y est explorée ainsi que la permanence d’une poétique de l’écart. Caractéristique de la modernité, surtout depuis le surréalisme, l’insolite est connoté positivement, il ouvre sur l’exploration de l’inconnu.

Sommario/riassunto

This book examines literary representations of birds from across the world in an age of expanding European colonialism. It offers important new perspectives into the ways birds populate and generate cultural meaning in a variety of literary and non-literary genres from 1700-1840 as well as throughout a broad range of ecosystems and bioregions. It considers a wide range of authors, including some of the most celebrated figures in eighteenth-century literature such as John Gay, Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Anna Letitia Barbauld, William Cowper, Mary Wollstonecraft, Thomas Bewick, Charlotte Smith, William Wordsworth, and Gilbert White.
