In Sight of Mont Blanc: an Approach to Ruskin’s Perception of the Mountain by Laurence Roussillon-Constanty

“…Dans sa biographie, Praeterita, John Ruskin décrit son premier aperçu des Alpes comme "not only the revelation of the beauty of the earth, but the opening of the first page of its volume" (XXXV. 116), établissant d’emblée un lien entre expérience et écriture, appréhension physique et méditation poétique, spectacle naturel et interprétation symbolique. Grand admirateur de Wordsworth, il prend soin par la suite de faire précéder chaque section de Modern Painters d’extraits de The Excursion, se faisant ainsi l’héritier d’une tradition romantique pour laquelle la montagne est le lieu privilégié de l’expression du sujet lyrique et le reflet d’une intériorité sans cesse en mouvement. …”

Mme de Graffigny and the Archduchess: Indirect Correspondence between the Court and 'le monde' by Kelsey Rubin-Detlev

“…However, Maria Theresa considered royal women to be above the circulation of reputations in le monde: rather, sociability had to be part of court spectacle representing power. Therefore, in place of the carefully managed semi-publicity and semi-privacy that one encounters in sociable correspondences and that Graffigny and Copineau so effectively manipulated, one finds in Maria Theresa’s didactic correspondence the secrecy associated with absolute monarchy: Mercy-Argenteau and Maria Theresa famously wove around the unwitting Marie-Antoinette a web of epistolary surveillance. …”
