“Bardell v. Pickwick”: the significance of the legal system in Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick papers

Author(s): Efstratios Kyriakakis / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper is an introduction to the importance of the legal system in Dickens’ writing. Dickens’ early beginnings as a clerk at a law office and as a journalist reporting on civil law cases are very much intertwined with the everyday life in the courts of Victorian England. This makes it no surprise that the legal system is present in almost any novel by Dickens. In this paper I aim to establish a connection between the legal system and Dickens’ character and world-building. This will be done based on Dickens’ first novel The Pickwick Papers.

This paper provides an overview of the development of the Frankenstein simile and metaphor in post-Romantic nineteenth-century Britain and treats the range of meanings as intralingual translations of the original story.

Identity and existential loneliness in Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections

Author(s): Daniel Kamenov / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen introduces the reader to the Lamberts: a dysfunctional family of highly individualistic characters whose goals and ideas never intersect. Throughout the course of the novel, the elderly parents and their three grown-up children further degrade their relationships – both within the family and even with reality. They are utterly, self-consciously alone and incapable of creating a stable connection to one another or with anybody else. In the current paper, I shall try to explain their inability to connect to others by using their intrinsic loneliness as a starting point and the manner in which it helps in forming their identity.

Maupassant et les orientals

Author(s): Sonya Aleksandrova-Koleva / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The text aims to reveal some of the weaknesses of perceiving one’s own face compared to that of a foreigner in the prose-fiction works of Maupassant. For this purpose we analyze novels and stories dedicated to Algeria and the Arabs, with an especial emphasis Allouma as well as on the otherness of female character.

Author(s): Zlatorossa Nedeltcheva-Bellafante / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

This paper analyzes the narration specificities of the novel Benares by the Mauritian writer Barlen Pyamootoo, as well as the narration itself – description ratio and its impact on the narrative rhythm. We try to determine the role description plays for the economy of narration in the text, where its place is important, and we also analyze the extent to which description integrates the narrative. We consider that the dynamic of narration is subdued, giving place to monotony, and this, in our view, is a sought reception effect.

Рецепцията на Артур Шницлер в България до 1944 г. с оглед на издателските серии

Author(s): Mladen Vlashki / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Up until 1944 Arthur Schnitzler was the most widely read author of the Young Vienna group in Bulgaria. The model of reception of his work shows how in the field of the free book market there can function categories that we tend to define more often as negative (publishing series, cheap publications, mass publications, social crises, etc.) yet such as would impose the significance of a particular writer’s oeuvre . The balance gets secured by the knowledgeable intelligentsia which, in critical discussions, only guides the process.

Растителният код в „Китка“ от К. Я. Ербен

Author(s): Tanya Yankova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

K. J. Erben creates a fictional world that „grows“ on a folkloric and mythological foundation, which the author „assimilates“ and „integrates“ to transform it into a personal literary experience. The characters are in a constant relationship with the botanical world. In his texts there are references to floral and arboreal species which turn out to be full-fledged participants in communicative situations. The abundance of such references testifies to man's close relationship with nature and guides us to a consciousness permeated by floral images in order to refer to and present human qualities. In the collection of ballads Kytice (Bouquet) the world of plants functions at various literary levels – from a detail in the overall epic storyline to an expanded image and a symbolic key for the accomplishment of literary meaning.

Author(s): Irena Dimova-Gencheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The proposed article examines the Slovak Trnava group and the use of children's memory in the poetical works and manifestos of its representatives as a “therapeutic alternative” to the existing ideological discourse of the second half of the 20th century. The writers find an opportunity for free expression in the field of children’s literature which they furthermore discuss in one of their manifestos, “There will be a talk about children's poetry.” The focus of the study could be defined as the “therapeutic mechanisms” of returning to childhood memory found both in the truly aesthetically conceived presence of Slovak writers in literature and in their own texts.

Author(s): Anna Shkodrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

In this article we will try to draw a parallel between the historical prototypes of the main characters in the novel „The Three Musketeers“ and their artistic construction in the course of the narrative. We will also look at the historical context in which the novel itself appeared as part of a new genre: the historical novel. The combination of real historical events and fiction is very characteristic of this new genre, which became more and more widespread in literature in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Музикалните форми в романа на Емилия Дворянова „Passion или смъртта на Алиса“ – бягство от социума

Author(s): Vesela Ganeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The study traces the interrelationships between literature and the musical forms fugue and passion. Significant for the analysis is the information about the personality of Bach and the science of onomastics. I find a connection between the names of the characters of the novel and the great composer. I initiate a new reading of the traditional musical form of passion and the novel by exploring biblical and musical elements, arguing that they are deconstructed by the author to create unconventional meanings.
