Sommario/riassunto |
|
A sequel to A Portrait in Letters: Correspondence to and about Joseph Conrad (Rodopi, 1995), this volume collects and annotates letters to Joseph Conrad by his family, friends, admirers, and publishers. An indispensable companion to the writer’s own letters, it restores the quality of exchange, interaction, and debate that belongs to a major correspondence. It also leads to a fuller, more rounded picture of Conrad in his personal and professional dealings: both of the mutualities and rituals that underpinned his close friendships and of the terms underlying his mutual disagreements with others. Familiar names are here – Arnold Bennett, John Galsworthy, Edward Garnett, Ford Madox Ford, Bertrand Russell, and H. G. Wells – although in largely unfamiliar form, through unpublished or inaccessible materials. Another notable feature of the volume is the newly recovered correspondence relating to the implementation, by Henry Newbolt and William Rothenstein, of the Royal Bounty Fund grant awarded during one of Conrad’s most severe financial crises (1904–06). An essential resource for the scholar, this vivid collection can also be read with |

pleasure by the general reader for the light it throws on Conrad the man and writer and the rich context in which he moved. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Quelles que soient les nombreuses interprétations du meurtre d’Abel par Caïn, cet épisode, qui survient dès les premières pages du récit biblique, témoigne de la victoire de la violence dans ce qui peut être considéré comme l’affrontement originel. Parce que les hommes sont différents, l’affrontement fait partie de l’histoire des sociétés humaines. Lors de deux journées d’étude, tenues en 2005 et 2006 à Rennes et au Mans, un certain nombre d’historiens, dont les champs de recherche vont du xvie siècle au xxe siècle, de l’histoire politique à l’histoire sociale, religieuse ou culturelle ont accepté de revisiter un certain nombre d’événements qui leur sont familiers à la lumière de cette idée que l’affrontement de forces antagonistes est à l’origine de toute évolution historique. Cet ouvrage est le recueil de leurs contributions. Plutôt que de juxtaposer les récits de conflits, il envisage deux thèmes transversaux : celui des rituels qui accompagnent les types d’affrontement dès lors que ceux-ci se reproduisent (rituel de séduction, rituel de violence, rituel judiciaire, rituel de conversion, rituels identitaires, rituels de libération, rituels commémoratifs), et celui de l’usage que font des affrontements certains acteurs sociaux. Il est |

apparu également que les affrontements étaient souvent dramatisés, ramenés à des conflits essentiels et finalement à l’opposition du Bien et du Mal. |
