‎Colton, Robert E‎

‎Studies of classical influence on Boileau and LaFontaine. Romanistische Texte und Studien ; Bd. 7.‎

‎Hildesheim ; Zürich ; New York : Olms Verlag, 1996. 154 S. ; 21 cm; kart.‎

‎Gutes Ex.; Einband stw. geringfügig berieben. - Englisch. - Beiliegend Widmungskarte d. Verfassers. - Dieses Buch befaßt sich intensiv mit einigen Werken zweier bedeutender französischer Dichter des 17. Jahrhunderts: Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux und Jean de La Fontaine. Es geht der Frage nach, inwiefern sich die Werke dieser Dichter auf Schriften lateinischer Autoren stützen. In sieben Kapiteln wird Horaz' Einfluß auf die Satiren und die Vers-Episteln Boileaus untersucht. Wir erkennen auch, daß Boileau mit den Satiren Persius' und mit einem der bekanntesten Epigramme Martials vertraut war. Drei Kapitel zeigen, wie der Fabeldichter La Fontaine Stoffe von Horaz verarbeitet hat. Der Einfluß der ?Metamorphosen" Ovids wird in La Fontaines Nacherzählungen von ?Philemon und Baucis" und ?Pyramus und Thisbe" deutlich, zwei der schönsten Geschichten, die uns die Antike vermacht hat. Die Sammlung schließt mit einer Analyse von La Fontaines brillanter Versfassung der Petronius-Geschichte ?Die Witwe von Ephesus". / This book, a close examination of some works of two major Seventeenth-Century French poets, Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux and Jean de La Fontaine, strives to illuminate their indebtedness to the writings of certain Latin authors. In seven chapters, the influence of Horace on Boileau's satires and epistles is studied. We also observe Boileau's familiarity with Persius' satires and with one of Martial's most famous epigrams. Three chapters demonstrate the fabulist La Fontaine's employment of material from Horace. The influence of Ovid's Metamorphoses is clear in La Fontaine's retelling of two of the finest stories that have come down to us from antiquity, "Philemon and Baucis" and "Pyramus and Thisbe". The collection concludes with a study of La Fontaine's brilliant versified version ofPetronius' story of the Widow of Ephesus. // INHALT : Preface -- An Echo of Horace in Boileau's Sixth Satire -- Boileau's Seventh Satire and Horace -- Echoes of Horace in Boileau's Eighth Satire -- Boileau's Fifth Epistle and Horace -- Echoes of Horace in Boileau's Sixth Epistle -- Horace, Serm. 1.10.73-91 and Boileau, Epitre 7.87-106 -- Horace, Epist. 1.20 and Boileau's Tenth Epistle -- Echoes of Persius in Boileau -- Martial and Boileau on the Incompetent Physician -- La Fontaine, Fables 1.3, Horace, Serm. 2.3, Phaedrus 1.24 -- La Fontaine and Horace: Fables 1.9 and Sermones 2.6.79-117 -- Philemon and Baucis in Ovid and La Fontaine -- Horace, Epist. 1.10.32-33 and La Fontaine, Philemon et Baucis 7-10 -- Pyramus and Thisbe in Ovid and La Fontaine -- The Story of the Widow of Ephesus in Petronius and La Fontaine -- General Index Index of Scholars.

‎Colton, Robert E. and Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux‎

‎Juvenal and Boileau : a study of literary influence. Studien zur vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ; Bd. 1.‎

‎Hildesheim ; Zürich ; New York : Olms Verlag, 1987. 108 S. ; 21 cm; kart.‎

‎Gutes Ex. - Englisch. - The present study demonstrates in detail the extent of the influence of Juvenal on the works of the French poet and satirist Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux (1636-1711). Boileau displays an astonishing familiarity with the writings of his famed predecessor in the field of satire. The influence of Juvenal is strongest in four of Boileau's poems. Satire 1, on Paris as an unsuitable abode for a virtuous and impecunious poet, is based on Juvenal 3 and 7; Satire 5, on true nobility, is modeled on Juvenal 8; Satire 6, a description of the annoyances and the dangers of city life, is inspired by Juvenal 3; and Satire 10, on the folly of marriage, is an imitation of Juvenal 6. Boileau borrows themes from Juvenal and reworks them, adding touches of his own and couching the new passages in language that is less strident and less shocking, more dignified and more restrained, than that of his models. Nevertheless he succeeds in elegantly revitalizing some of the most memorable passages from the pen of Rome's most brilliant satirist. // INHALT : Preface. --- List of Abbreviations. --- Chapter I: The First Satire and The Sixth Satire. --- Chapter II: The Fifth Satire. --- Chapter III: The Tenth Satire. --- Chapter IV: The Other Satires. --- Chapter V: Discourse on Satire and The Art of Poetry --- Chapter VI: Summary and Conclusion. --- Notes. --- Bibliography. --- Indexes. --- 1. Index of Passages Quoted or Referred to. --- 2. General Index. ISBN 9783487078502‎

‎The Living and the Dead.‎

‎London: Hutchinson 1956. First edition in English of the roman noir that was turned into the 1958 Hollywood classic Vertigo starring James Stewart and Kim Novak directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with light rubbing and wear. Translated by Geoffrey Sainsbury. The story concerns a former detective who suffers from vertigo. He is hired to follow the wife of a friend who is puzzled by her strange behavior. The detective becomes obsessed with the woman eventually falling in love with her but unable to explain her strange trances and her belief in a previous life. When she falls to her death from a tower he is unable to save her due to his fear of heights. He experiences a psychotic break. After his partial recovery he encounters a woman who is nearly the image of his dead love and he becomes obsessed with her. In the end she turns out to be the same person he was in love with--an actress who was hired by his friend in order to hide the murder of his actual wife. It was the basis for the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo starring James Stewart and Kim Novak. Attracting significant scholarly criticism it replaced Citizen Kane as the best film ever made in the 2012 British Film Institute's Sight & Sound critics' poll. It has appeared repeatedly in polls of the best films by the American Film Institute including a 2007 ranking as the ninth-greatest American movie of all-time. Hutchinson hardcover books‎

‎Boileau Jacques; Francois Granet ed. & trans.‎

‎Histoire des flagellans ou l'on fait voir le bon & le mauvais usage des flagellations parmi les Chrétiens par des preuves tirées de l'Ecriture Sainte des peres de l'Eglise des papes des conciles & des auteurs profanes.‎

‎Amsterdam: Chez Henry du Sauzet 1732. 12mo 17.5 cm 6.89". xxxii 306 10 index pp. <br><br>This disapproving account of voluntary flagellation appears here in its revised and corrected second French edition following the first of 1701 and the original Latin of 1700. Boileau was one of the earliest authors to connect the ancient religious practice directly to erotic motivations and concludes with a medical assessment of such deviancy including a final proverb: "Le foüet est pour le Cheval le mords pour l'Asne & la verge pour le dos de l'Insensé."<br>    Although some sources claim Boileau translated his own text into French the BNF considers that a false attribution and credits Abbé François Granet with both editing and translating the text. This version by Dutch printer du Sauzet features a title-page printed in red and black and simple but elegant typesetting.<br>    Binding: Contemporary calf spine with gilt-stamped title and date gilt-ruled raised bands and gilt-stamped compartment decorations; covers framed in triple gilt fillets turn-ins with a gilt roll. Handsome marbled endpapers and all edges gilt. => Signed binding with front free endpaper stamped "Koehler."<br>    Provenance: Front free endpaper with garter-design ex-libris rubber-stamp of G. Manessier. Later in the residue of the stock of the F. Thomas Heller bookselling firm est. ca. 1928. Bound as above leather scuffed and rubbed. Small area of worming to outer margins of some leaves not touching text. Pages gently age-toned otherwise clean. => A pleasing elegant little volume. Chez Henry du Sauzet hardcover books‎
