"The discipline of medievalism has produced a great deal of scholarship acknowledging the "makers" of the Middle Ages: those who re-discovered the period from 500 to 1500 by engaging with its cultural works, seeking inspiration from them, or fantasizing about them. Yet such approaches - organized by time period, geography, or theme - often lack an overarching critical framework. This volume aims to provide such a framework, by calling in ..."

Reframing Japonisme Women and the Asian Art Market in Nineteenth-Century France (1853-1914) (Contextualizing Art Markets) by ElizabethEmery, Kathryn Brown Hardcover, 272 Pages, Published 2020 by Bloomsbury Visual Arts ISBN-13: 978-1-5013-4463-3, ISBN: 1-5013-4463-3
"Japonisme, the nineteenth-century fascination for Japanese art, has generated an enormous body of scholarship over the last twenty years, but most of it neglects women, who also acquired objects from the Far East and displayed them in their homes before selling or bequeathing them to museums. The stories of women collectors and shopkeepers rarely appear in memoirs left by those associated with the japoniste movement. The present volume ..."

"In his analysis of Dornac's photographs for Le Monde Illustré, G. Lenotre linked
the “desired and picturesque disorder” of actor Mounet-Sully's study (see Figure
2.6) to his acting style, while Tissandier noted that the room was like a “sculptor's
studio” [atelier de sculpteur]. Dornac's photographs of Sarah Bernhardt striking
poses on animal skin rugs in front of self-portraits and statues confirm rumors of
her notoriously eccentr ..."

Martyr to the Truth (Hardback) by ElizabethEmery Hardcover, 260 Pages, Published 2012 by Pickwick Publications ISBN-13: 978-1-4982-6242-2, ISBN: 1-4982-6242-2
"Description: In his autobiography Joseph Turmel (1859-1943) has left an intensely personal account of his struggles to reconcile his Catholic faith with the results of historical-critical methods as those impacted biblical exegesis and the history of dogma. Having lost his faith in 1886, he chose to remain as a priest in the Church, even while he worked to undermine its teachings. He did so initially in writings published under his own ..."
"The storyteller stands at the crossroads of orality and performance, surrounded by a circle of rapt listeners. Evelyn Birge Vitz has challenged a generation of scholars to join the circle, listen as they read, and exchange pen for performance. A tribute to her work, the fifteen essays in this volume attend to the qualities of voice, their registers and dynamics, whether practiced or impromptu, falsified, overlapping, interrupted or whis ..."
"The twenty well-known scholars featured in this Festschrift for William Calin engage in personal reflection about the ways scholars, writers, musicians, and artists from different periods have "made" the Middle Ages by exploring it in their own work. Contributors: Barbara K. Altman, Pam Clements, Elizabeth Emery, Karl Fugelso, Caroline Jewers, Alicia C. Montoya, Gwendolyn A. Morgan, E.L. Risden, Nils Holger Petersen, William D. Paden ..."

"Legends, tales, and mysteries featuring saints captivated the French at the end of the nineteenth century. As Jean Lorrain pointed out in an 1891 article for the popular weekly Le Courrier Francais, the seemingly simple language of the saints' lives, their noble battles between good and evil, and the atmosphere of religious mysticism appealed to many, especially those involved in the visual and performing arts. The Third Republic (1870- ..."
"Enthusiasm for the operas of composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883) flourished in fin-de-siecle France, fed by fascination for the medieval history and literature that inspired his work. By the 1890s, ""pilgrimages"" to Wagner's burial city of Bayreuth, Germany, home of a regular festival of his work, were a rite of passage for musicians and the upper crust. French admirers promoted Wagner's ideas in journals such as La Revue wagnerienne , ..."
The Modernist as Philosopher Selected Writings of Marcel Hébert by Marcel Hébert, ElizabethEmery Hardcover, 272 Pages, Published 2011 by The Catholic University Of America Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8132-1879-3, ISBN: 0-8132-1879-9
"Roman Catholic Modernism, in France, was prominently represented by scholars whose interests were, in significant measure, historical. Notable examples are Louis Duchesne, Alfred Loisy, and Albert Houtin. Where philosophy was concerned, Maurice Blondel, together with his collaborator Lucien Laberthonnière, grappled with the legacy of Kant and the problem of the subjectivity of human knowing. Marcel Hébert (1851 -- 1916) stands at the co ..."

The essays in the volume show how scholars of French studies can effectively analyze what we term ..."
