Le reve et l'action: Une etude de l'homme a cheval de Drieu La Rochelle (French Edition) - Hardcover
This is the first in-depth analysis of one of Drieu la Rochelle's major works--an allegorical novel/parable of political intrigue which chronicles the rise to power of the Bolivian strongman, Jaime Torrijos, in the latter half of the nineteenth century. In keeping with certain modern critics, Hines sees 'L'Homme a Cheval' as a transitional work between two fundamental stages of Drieu's development as an artist and political thinker. He also argues the point that 'L'Homme a Cheval'--long considered by critics to be outside the mainstream of Drieu's inner-focused style--must be redefined as a work of art that forcefully illustrates Drieu's quest for self-unity in much the same manner as 'Drole de voyage' or 'Gilles.' Written in French.

Book Description Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. 1 volume in-8°, rel. pleine percale éd. (sans jaquette), de XIV+164pp, 6 planches d'ill. hors-texte, 2 fig. in-t., chronol., notes & réf., biblio ; ex. réformé de bibl., avec stigmates habituels, B.E. sinon / Sommaire : origin, etymology, the Great Controversy & the 'Droit du Seigneur' in sociology, anthropology & travel literature - the 'Droit du Seigneur's debut in XVIIth-c. english drama : Fletcher & Massinger, 'The Custom of the Country' (1619) & its influence on subsequent english drama - the 'Droit du Seigneur' in the XVIIIth-c. : literature of revolt - the 'Droit du Seigneur' as operatic theme - the 'Droit du Seigneur' in early XIXth-c. fiction & drama - the 'Droit du Seigneur' in the latter part of the XIXth-c. & in XXth-c. literature. / "This study deals with over thirty literary treatments of the droit du seigneur in the drama & fiction of France, England, Germany, Italy & America. Before going into a detailed analysis of how different authors in various countries employed this theme, an attempt is made to study the origin & etymology of the term, & the many slang versions of the droit which appear in different cultures are given. A great controversy flourished regarding the authenticity of the droit, & many conflicts accounts of it appear in the writings of historians, anthropologists & sociologists." / L'élaboration de ce mythe, destiné à dévaloriser les institutions monarchiques (alors que ce 'droit' ne figure dans aucun texte juridique ou coutumier !), a été étudiée par Alain Boureau dans "Le droit de cuissage, la fabrication d'un mythe, XIIIe-XXe s." (Albin Michel, 1995). Ici, l'Auteur ne s'embarrase pas d'histoire ou de droit : elle focalise simplement sur l'exploitation du mythe par les artistes (peinture, littérature, opéra.).

Book Description Octavo, pp. [1-6] [i-iii] iv [v] vi-vii [viii] ix [x] xi [xii] xiii-xiv [1] 2-164 [165-168: blank], illustrations, cloth. First edition. A presentation copy with signed inscription by Litvack on the front free endpaper. "This study deals with over thirty literary treatments of the droit du seigneur in the drama & fiction of France, England, Germany, Italy & America. Before going into a detailed analysis of how different authors in various countries employed this theme, an attempt is made to study the origin & etymology of the term, & the many slang versions of the droit which appear in different cultures are given. A great controversy flourished regarding the authenticity of the droit, & many conflicts accounts of it appear in the writings of historians, anthropologists & sociologists. An attempt is made to summarize the conclusions drawn from the leading scholars of this subject, and an account is given of how the use of the droit in literature deviates from its historical and sociological interpretations. The droit du seigneur, to our knowledge, first surfaced as a literary theme in the seventeenth century in a play by Fletcher and Massinger. This play engendered many offspring, for subsequent English authors not only use the theme, but openly acknowledge their debt to Fletcher and Massinger." - author's preface.
