La peau d’un agneau innocent. Jack Cade, la voix, la loi et l’écrit
“Is not a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent Lambe should be made Parchment ; that Parchement being scribeld ore, should undoe a man.” These words spoken by Jack Cade in Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part II form the starting point of this study devoted to the textual genealogy and…

Les fausses approbations de censure au XVIIIe siècle : pistes de réflexion sur des marges parodiques
From 1701 until the French Revolution, any work published through legal channels was required to be reviewed by a royal censor. This review was explicitly indicated by the presence of an “approval” in the paratext. This text, combining set formulas with a space for free expression, became an easy…

“In my wood to dwell”: Margaret Cavendish’s Ecocritical Thinking and her Uses of Allegory in Poetry
Margaret Cavendish is now routinely enrolled as an early example of an eco-conscious author, and studied through the perspective lens of ecocritical approaches, but the risk of anachronism is strong. Her ecocriticism needs to be reassessed in light of her philosophical conception of nature. This…

This article focuses on a late, unfinished and unpublished treatise by Jeremy Bentham entitled “Auto-Icon; or, Farther Uses of the Dead to the Living”, in which the tree of knowledge, the tree of law (arbor jurisdictionis) and the genealogical tree are interwoven. The Auto-Icons – or effigies – of…

Trees in William Cowper’s Poetry
This article tackles how William Cowper (1731-1800) uses trees in The Task (1783-1784), “The Poplar Field” (1783-1784?), and “Yardley Oak,” an unfinished poem from 1791, as figures of the expressive and the emblematical. The British poet has recourse to a set of artistic traits, borrowing from…

La critique de l’ethnocentrisme dans les Nouveaux Mémoires sur l’état présent de la Chine de Louis Le Comte (1696)
Back in France, Jesuit missionary Louis Le Comte published his Nouveaux Mémoires sur l’état présent de la Chine in 1696. His admiring remarks on the religion of the ancient Chinese caused such a scandal that the Sorbonne censored the work in 1700. In the Nouveaux Mémoires, Le Comte undertakes a…

The Tree that Hides the Man: The Use and Misuse of Arboreal Symbols in Thomas of Woodstock (c. 1591-1595)
“The huge greate Oke was once a plant.” This observation, found in Timothy Kendall’s anthology Flower of epigrammes (1577), seems to state the obvious: trees do grow from smaller (and frailer) plants and are subject to time. Yet this contrasts with the emblematic oak of early modern poetry and…

Fairy-Thinking and the Labyrinth: The Forest Palimpsest in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1595)
In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1595), the forest outside Athens functions as an alternative space to the courtly world of supposed order and the rule of law. Constructed as a palimpsest of various layers, the forest is multi-faceted with shifting guises and roles. As a mirror to the…

The Trees of the Muses in Aemilia Lanyer’s “The Description of Cooke-ham” (1611)
This essay analyses the symbolism of trees in Aemilia Lanyer’s poem “The Description of Cooke-ham” (1611) to highlight her mnemonic, protofeminist reconstruction of nature. Contrary to what other critics have suggested, the poem’s evocation of nature cannot be reduced to an early example of what…

Les Sincères de Marivaux : un « Misanthrope alambiqué et restreint » ?
In the work of a playwright who paid no tribute to Molière, a play like Les Sincères (1739) would appear to be an exception. In Proust's words, Marivaux's brief comedy is a “convoluted and narrow Misanthrope”. By analysing the comic deviations from the ideal of sincerity, and by displacing certain…

The Duchess of Malfi de John Webster : la feinte mortifère
Feigning refers to the manipulation of appearances, but the Latin etymology of the word, fingere, also denotes a process of creation through inventing and shaping forms. Feigning can therefore be construed as the metonymy of art – in the present case, of dramatic art. John Webster’s The Duchess of…

Molière face à l’opéra (1669-1673)
This article highlights the impact of the creation of French opera on the production of Molière's last comédies mêlées, placing them in the context of increased competition and imitation between the genres. Molière was not indifferent to the creation of opera and engaged in dialogue with the new…

L’ineffable dans l’Héraclius de Corneille
Heraclius is one of Corneille’s so-called implex tragedies. Drawing on the intricate backdrop of Byzantine history, Corneille intensifies the confusion surrounding the end of the tyrannical reign of the usurper Phocas by imagining a triple substitution of children at the moment of his rise to…

Le divertissement salutaire : ineffable et théâtre dans le théâtre dans Les Songes des hommes éveillés de Brosse (1646)
In Les Songes des hommes éveillés, Brosse shows that, imperfect as they are, men need to fall silent before what cannot be expressed. Therefore, his play is somewhat cruel for the characters and for the public as well, since the spectators know that what they see also applies to them. However…

L’indicible dans Hippolyte (1573) de Robert Garnier
The subject matter of Robert Garnier’s Hippolyte is unspeakable because it bears on moral and social taboos, adultery and incest, which the French author repeatedly associates with the figure of the monster. In a number of scenes, the challenge is to get the word out, in a dialectic between…
