McManus profiles Charles Nodier, highlighting his article The Fantastic in Literature published in Revue de Paris in 1830. Nodier holds the dismal distinction of being the most important French ...romantic that people have never heard of. A child prodigy, Nodier was reading Montaigne and Plutarch, and writing fluently in French and Latin, by the age of ten. By twenty-five he had vandalized a guillotine, founded the ironically Freemasonesque anti-Jacobin society called the Philadelphes, published one of the first French works of scholarship on Shakespeare, and served a month in prison for criticizing Napoleon in the poem "La Napoleone." It was only then that he got serious, and in 1806 Les tristes was published, a collection of short stories, poems, dialogues, and essays that marked him as a disciple of the Romanticism of Goethe and Schiller.
This article analyses the correction work carried out by Charles Nodier, one of the most important French lexicographers of the 19th century, as editor of the

. Based on a selection of entries from Nodier’s
(1828), where he critically commented on the different editions of Boiste’s dictionary (1800, 1803, 1812 and 1823), we study whether Nodier followed his own recommendations and corrected these entries in his work as editor of the

This paper analyzes the contributions of Théodore Géricault to the second volume of Baron Isidore Taylor, Charles Nodier, and Alphonse de Cailleux’s Voyages pittoresques: Normandie (1820; 1825) ...within the context of French Restoration historiography. It argues that Géricault’s prints are allegorical commentaries on the production of visual history during this period as much as they are examples of it.

Cette article interroge sur l'utilisation des images bibliques au sein de l'oeuvre de Charles Nodier, pionnier du conte fantastique en France. D'après une approche comparée les images bibliques ...originales sont confrontées avec les images transposées au sein du récit fantastique. L'analyse s'intéresse à la conjonction entre narration, emprunt des images bibliques et le résultat de cet emprunt dans une image modifiée qui fait référence à l'image original tout en participant dans un nouveau réseau de signification. L'intertextualité des emprunts témoigne d'une créativité littéraire qui s'exprime dans une nouvelle cosmogonie fantastique qui n'hésite pas à se servir d'un monde biblique afin de façonner une nouvelle interprétation du surnaturel. This article studies the literary work of Charles Nodier, pioneer of the fantastic narrative in France, as he transfers biblical images into his stories. This analysis explores the intersections of literary narrative, the transposition of biblical images and the results of the insertion of those modified images in a new network of meaning. This intertextuality favors the creation of a new cosmogony that offers a new interpretation of the supernatural cosmos.PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
This study accurately runs through all the editions and translations of Ossian's poems and Scott's "Lady of the Lake" consulted by Nodier in order to prepare his travel to Scotland. We have ...identified the very copy of Chapman's guidebook used by Nodier on this trip. Thanks to this guidebook, Nodier modifies his travel plans and reorganizes the story of his expedition in the form of new quest for the Holy Grail: the Highlands and Ben Lomond become the subject of this quest. An unpublished letter of Nodier to Pr Hooker can be found as attached document.
Roman populaire avant la lettre, le roman frénétique a connu en France un grand engouement sous la Restauration. Il reprend généralement les formes stéréotypées du mélodrame, mais s'en démarque par ...la puissance excessive, fantastique, de son protagoniste. À l'instar des modèles gothiques anglais, Melmoth ou Lord Ruthwen, les monstres frénétiques ont perdu de leur humanité; certains vivent un grave conflit intérieur pour la recouvrer, d'autres jouissent de leur nature maléfique, mais tous sont investis d'une énergie extraordinaire, qui fait d'eux des êtres surnaturels. Cet article examine les implications politico-littéraires de cette mise hors-la-loi divine et l'influence de cette figure monstrueuse sur le roman romantique.
