The Island in R. L. Stevenson’s The Beach of Falesá: Confluence(s) as Subversion by Julie Gay

“…Then, the article highlights the spatio-temporal duality of the island by highlighting its liminality, and the generic hybridity it leads to, as the novella oscillates between realism, romance and the fantastic, among others.

Simulacre et modernité : l’illusion d’optique dans On the Western Circuit de Thomas Hardy by Catherine Lanone

“…Although Hardy was forced to bowdlerize his text, removing allusions to sexual intercourse and subsequent pregnancy, the real shock lies less in the hackneyed sentimentality of the illegitimate baby theme than in the depiction of modernity and modern exchanges — or systems of communication through trains, letters, or judicial rounds — as vicious circles breeding spurious desires and fantasies. The novel displays the enticing flickering sparks of desire created by the new wheel of fortune, turning the steam circus into a metaphor of ruthless mutations and hopelessly warped human relationships.…”
