Robert D. Denham pursues his quest to uncoverthe links between Northrop Frye and writers and otherswho directly influenced his thinking but about whomhe did not write an extensive commentary.The first chapter is about Frye's reading of Patanjali,the founder of the philosophy of Hindu yoga, whilethe second, discusses cultural mythographerGiambattista Vico, literary history and poetic language.The focus of Frye's criticism was the verbal arts,but he also had an abiding interest in both the visualarts and music; hence Frye's admiration of J.S. Bach. The essay on Tolkien examines the tendency in literaryhistory to return from irony to myth, as well as the rolethat Tolkien played in Frye's fiction-writing fantasies.In subsequent chapters, Denham explores Frye'spreference for romance and his critique of realism,which run parallel to the views of Oscar Wilde, and theirstrong shared convictions about the centripetal thrustof art, and about criticism being as creative as literature. Frye's appreciation for Whitehead's conceptof interpenetration in Science in the Modern Worldbecame a key feature of Frye's speculations about thehighest reaches of literature and religion. Frye is clearlyindebted to Martin Buber, particularly his influentialmeditation I and Thou. Aristotle, an important influenceupon Frye, was partially filtered through R.S. Craneand his The Languages of Criticism and the Structureof Poetry. Finally, the relationship between Fryeand his Oxford tutor Edmund Blunden are explored,while the last is an essay on Frye and M.H. Abramson how Frye's critical project might be vieweddeveloped in Abrams's The Mirror and the Lamp.This book is published in English.-Robert D. Denham poursuit son examen d'crivains et autres influences qui ont marqu l'minent critique Northrop Frye, mais sur lesquels celui-ci n'avait pas consacr de rflexions trs dveloppes.Le premier chapitre porte sur la lecture que fait Frye de Patanjali, le fondateur de la philosophie du yoga hindou, et le deuxime, sur le mythographe culturel Giambattista Vico, l'histoire littraire et le langage potique.Frye s'intressait aux arts visuels et la musique et Denham approfondit l'influence de J.S. Bach sur Frye. Le chapitre sur Tolkien porte sur la tendance en histoire littraire de passer de l'ironie au mythe, mais aussi sur l'ascendant de Tolkien sur la fiction fantaisiste de Frye.Dans les chapitres suivants, Denham explore la prfrence de Frye pour le romantique et sa critique du ralisme, qui trouvent cho chez Oscar Wilde, de mme que leur conviction, partage, de l'importance de l'art, et de la critique comme tant aussi crative que la littrature. L'admiration de Frye pour le concept d'interpntration prsent dans leScience in the Modern Worldde Whitehead est devenue un lment cl des rflexions de Frye sur la porte de la littrature et de la religion.Denham explore aussi le lien entre Frye et Martin Buber, dont la mditationI and Thoul'a beaucoup inspir, et celui entre Frye et R.S. Crane, qui parle beaucoup d'Aristote dans son ouvrageThe Languages of Criticism and the Structure of Poetry. Le chapitre 9 explore la relation entre Frye et son tuteur d'Oxford, Edmund Blunden, alors que le dernier chapitre porte sur Frye et M.H. Abrams, et notamment sur le projet critique de Frye compris la lumire du cadre sur la thorie critique dvelopp par Abrams dansThe Mirror and the Lamp.Ce livre est publi en anglais.

Discussing illegal drugs without taking into account its criminal context is a difficult proposition. Certain questions come back repeatedly: Does doing drugs really lead to delinquency? Do some drugs have criminal properties? Why would a drug addict turn to crime? What are the best methods of intervention in dealing with individuals who have serious drug habits?The third edition ofDrogue et criminalit : Une relation complexe(Les Presses de l'Universit de Montral), translated here for the first time in English, presents an overview of the complex relationship between drugs and crime, avoids cursory affirmations to the effect that psychoactive substance use necessarily leads to crime. It also sheds light on the political and legislative contexts tied to drugs and offers an exceptional synthesis of the research literature of the past 20 years. The authors also discuss the increased attention to illegal drug users and people with addictions, and describe the different supports that are available to them.This book is published in English.-Concevoir la question des drogues illicites en dehors de leur contexte criminel est difficile. Certaines questions reviennent immanquablement : prendre de la drogue pousse-t-il vraiment la dlinquance ? Existe-t-il des drogues aux proprits criminognes ? Pourquoi un toxicomane se tourne-t-il vers la criminalit ? Quelles sont les meilleures faons d'intervenir auprs des personnes qui ont de graves problmes de consommation ?Cette troisime dition prsente la relation complexe entre drogue et criminalit, vitant les noncs sommaires qui voudraient que l'usage de substances psychoactives mne ncessairement au crime.

Les auteurs rendent compte de l'importance accrue qu'on accorde dsormais aux usagers de drogues illicites ainsi qu'aux personnes dpendantes et ils dcrivent les diffrentes formes d'aide qui leur sont proposes.Ce livre est publi en anglais.

Great poets like Shelley and Goethe have made the claim that translating poems is impossible. And yet, poems are translated; not only that, but the metrical systems of English, French, Italian, German, Russian and Czech have been shaped by the translation of poems. Our poetic traditions are inspired by translations of Homer, Dante, Goethe and Baudelaire. How can we explain this paradox? James W. Underhill responds by offering an informed account of meter, rhythm, rhyme, and versification. But more than that, the author stresses that what is important in the poem-and what must be preserved in the translated poem-is the voice that emerges in the versification. Underhill's book draws on the author's translation experience from French, Czech and German. His comparative analysis of the versifications of French and English have enabled him to revise the key terms involved in translating the poetic voice and transposing the poem's versification. The theories of versification from the Prague School of Linguistics, the French and Swiss schools of versification, and recent scholarship in metrics and rhythm in the UK and in the USA have been integrated into this synthetic but rigorously coherent approach to translating poems. The extensive glossary at the end of the book will prove useful for both students and teachers alike. And the detailed case studies on translating poems by Baudelaire and Emily Dickinson allow the author to categorize and appraise the various poetic and aesthetic strategies and theories that are brought to bear in translating Baudelaire into English, and Dickinson into French.
