‘Here gather daily those young eaglets of glory’: Robert Louis Stevenson, the Savile Club and the Suicide Club by Robert-Louis Abrahamson

“…Robert Louis Stevenson, one of these young men of promise, relished the social opportunities of the club, especially the company of fellow bohemians but was also aware of the limitations of the club, and its potential for complacency and false posturing. His novella ‘The Suicide Club’, depicting a club similar to the Savile, satirises the artificiality of the club, and of all such clubs, and of the superficial respectability of the members’ bohemian pretensions, which shelter the ‘gentlemen’ from a genuine and fulfilling engagement in the battlefield of life.…”

Performing Womanhood: Fictions of Love in Louisa May Alcott’s Behind a Mask by Stéphanie Durrans

“…This article discusses Louisa May Alcott’s novella Behind a Mask in the light of Melville’s last novel, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade (1857), arguing that, behind the mask of a sentimental novel that appears to conform to stereotypes, Alcott depicts a true-to-life heroine and shows how fiction can actually uncover the truth of life, how the many parts we play obfuscate our deeper nature and how a woman’s life in particular is nothing but a continuous performance on the social stage. …”

‘L’Amour aux Antipodes’: Tasma, Australia and the French Connection by Judith Johnston

“…This article investigates Tasma's only known French publication, ‘L'Amour aux Antipodes’ (‘Love in the Antipodes’) which first appeared in August 1880 in the Parisian periodical La Nouvelle Revue, possibly to capitalise on the popularity of a series of lectures on Australia which she had delivered in various French and Belgian cities. I argue that the novella is designed specifically for a French readership, not only in terms of setting, but also because Tasma's usual critique of gender ideology is replaced with a determined anti-clericalism, possibly in response to current debates in Paris at the time and a wish to avoid the fraught gender politics of the Third Republic.…”

Psyche and Pygmalion: The Heart’s Desires Revised in Louisa May Alcott’s “A Marble Woman” by Michaela Keck

Sex and the City: A Situationist Reading of Jens Jorgen Thorsen’s Film Adaptation of Henry Miller’s Quiet Days in Clichy by Jennifer Cowe

“…Whilst acknowledging the film’s place within a wider changing Danish culture, I will aim to show that the film engages with the key Situationist theories of Dérive, Psychogeography and Détournement and that it reflects contemporary societal issues whilst remaining true to Henry Miller’s anarchic and joyful novella. Thorsen was unarguably one of Denmark’s most inventive and revolutionary filmmakers and Quiet Days in Clichy can be viewed in relation to his engagement with the concepts of the SI.…”

‘How the guineas shone as they came pouring out of the dark leather mouths!’: Shades of Gold in George Eliot’s Silas Marner (1861) by Marie-Laure Massei-Chamayou

“…Far from the common representation of money in Victorian literature, with its many references to the expanding world of finance, credit and speculation, George Eliot’s Silas Marner (1861) depicts money mainly as gold coins, at the crossroads between realism and symbolism, the profane and the sacred. In this novella, gold is not merely the main dramatic thread that connects the parallel stories of Silas, Eppie and the Cass family, it also echoes mythical and Biblical narratives, such as the Book of Job, thereby lending itself to multiple interpretations: gold is, in turn, synonymous with a transgressive passion, an impure light or tainted matter which, as such, enables Silas’s successive transmutation, transformation and transfiguration, thereby partaking of the hero’s complex alchemical initiation and spiritual quest. …”

The Duchess of Malfi de John Webster ou le corps dans tous ses états: « Some said he was an hermaphrodite, for he could not abide a woman » (3. 2. 217-218) by Laetitia Coussement-Boillot

“…All those episodes point to the possible metamorphoses of the body which, apart from the Duchess’s pregnant body, were strikingly absent from Webster’s main source, Painter’s novella. It seems therefore that Webster willingly foregrounds the body’s physicality, all the more so as his medium, drama, relies on the physical presence of the actors on stage. …”
