Synopsis
A collection of 14 essays, "Convergences" examines some of the most notable authors of 17th-century France. Theatre was the foremost genre, and essays by Odette de Mourgues, Terence Cave, Judd D.Hubert and Marie-Odile Sweetser discuss such problems as tonality and register, structure and thought, self-reflexivity and purpose in masterpieces from "Cinna" to "L'Avare". Jules Brody and Robert T.Corum aim to advance the understanding of the "Fables" of Jean de la Fontaine and baroque consolations by applying and refining the concepts of intertextuality and generic modulation. Charles G.S.Williams rehabilitates a major text made problematic by a subtle technique that includes blending fact and fiction. Critical doctrine, its history and theory, is the subject of Jean Mesnard, H.Gaston Hall and Robert Garapon, who aims to clarify the classical notions of true and false beauty and reason, as well as the relationship between literary theory and politics. Finally, John D.Lyons, Peter Bayley, Roland Champagne and Bruce Davis take up the philosophical and moral writings of Descartes and the Jansenists, notably Pascal, and deal with a variety of problems including metaphorical structure, interpretation, semiotics and psychology.
