About this ebook:
This in-depth study of the French novelist Marguerite Yourcenar's fiction contends that the author's texts exhibit, in unexpected ways, numerous characteristics of the neobaroque, the subversive, postmodern aesthetic that privileges extravagant artistic play, flux, and heterogeneity. In demonstrating the affinity of Yourcenar's texts with the neobaroque, the author of this study casts doubt on their presumed transparency and stability, qualities associated with the French neoclassical tradition of the past century, where the Yourcenarian oeuvre is most often placed.Yourcenar's election to the prestigious, tradition-bound French Academy in 1981 as its first female "immortal" cemented her already well-established niche in the twentieth-century French literary pantheon. A self-taught classicist, historian, and modern-day French moralist, Yourcenar has been praised for her polished, "classical" style and analyzed for her use of myth and universal themes. While those factors at first seem to justify amply the neoclassical label by which Yourcenar is most widely recognized, this study's close reading of four of her fictions reveals instead the texts' opacity and subversive resistance to closure, their rejection of stable interpretations, and their deconstruction of postmodern Grand Narratives. Theirs is a neobaroque "logic," which stresses the absence of theoretical assurances and the limitations of reason.TABLE OF CONTENTS: I. A Frontispiece II. Introduction Marguerite Yourcenar and the Writing of Fiction: An Aesthetic Imperative III. Chapter 1 Anna,Soror...: Neobaroque Sacralizes the Abject IV.
