Marisa Verna deposited Il cuore moltiplicato di Baudelaire in the group
LLC 19th-Century French on MLA Commons 4 years, 11 months agoWhere was Baudelaire standing, when facing the “great questions” of the Infinite, of evil, and of the christian faith? Was he a Christian?

Marisa Verna deposited « Des images en quête de sens. Par les écrans du monde de Fanny Taillandier » in the group
LLC 20th- and 21st-Century French on MLA Commons 5 years, 1 month agoThis paper analyses the category of space in Fanny Taillandier’s last novel Par les

through a stylistic recomposition of the dimension of space, while situating it in a
“geometry of words” that makes it meaningful and human again. In effect, in Taillandie…[Read more] -
