Moll Flanders / Daniel Defoe

Public ISBD Titre : Moll Flanders Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel Defoe (1661?-1731), Auteur Editeur : Airmont Publishing Company Année de publication : 1969 Importance : 288 p. Note générale : "This is the story of Moll Flanders - a creature of her time whose crimes and amorous misdeeds remain a most vivid and candid account of a spirited woman's journey from innocence to evil. though Moll's vice are many, her ambitions are those of every woman-security, social position, love. Virginia Woolf's vision of th plucky heroine includes the following paean : "She has a spirit that loves to breast the storm. She delights in the exercise of her own powers... Life delight her, and a heroine whoe lives has us all in tow." Many eminent critics have puzzled over the interpretation Defoe put on the character of Moll Flanders, and the fashionable critical measurig-rod of "ambiguity" has often found a place here. What message did Defoe really wish to convey through the character of Moll ? Was she ever truly a penitent ? Was Defoe's moralizing earnest, or tongue-in-cheek ? Or both ? Moll Flanders is Daniel Defoe at his best. And his direct, lifelike portrait of the adventurous Moll is one of this accomplished writer's superlative achievement in the field of letters.

The portrait of the lady / James Henry

Public ISBD Titre : The portrait of the lady Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James Henry, Auteur Editeur : Airmont Publishing Company Année de publication : 1966 Importance : 477 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : "People in the novels Henry James are great observers. They observe other people, life in general, and themselves. They continually analyze their own actions, motives, and relationships, and they speculate on the actions of others. Isabel Archer believes that a young girl should begin "by getting a general impression of life" and England proves to be diverting pantomine to her. Her uncle tells her that he has been watching the English for thirty-five years, and her cousin speaks of himself as being a spectator at the game of life. To be merely an observer is Isabel Archer's wish. For this, she is criticized. Lord Warburton protests not only that she is "always summing people up" but that she judges only from the outside. "You don't care; you only care to amuse yourself," he adds. When Ralph Touchett asks if she wishes "to drain the cupt of experience", Miss Archer replies, "I don't wish to touch the cup of experience. It's poisoned drink. I only want to see for myself." Touchett then concludes that she wants "t see but not to feel". Age : A partir de 10 ans The portrait of the lady [texte imprimé] / James Henry, Auteur . - Airmont Publishing Company, 1966 . - 477 p.
