The popularity of Carmen endures across generations and continents, with one of the most frequently performed and instantly recognizable operatic scores of all time and a libretto derived from Prosper Mérimée's novella of the same name, written 30 years prior to the opera's 1875 debut. In Georges Bizet's Carmen--the latest volume in the Oxford Keynotes series--author Nelly Furman explores the evolution of Carmen's story and its meaning, illuminating how the titular heroine has maintained her status as a universally recognizable cultural icon.Grounded in Ludovic Halévy's and Henri Meilhac's libretto--and drawing on a wealth of mostly French critical theory--this book traces the textual, operatic, and cinematic tellings and retellings of the story, from its success as a novella in the industrial age through to its iconic position in our own cinematic era. As Furman delicately navigates the fraught terrain of racial and gendered discourse and ideology that Bizet's setting of Mérimée's work traverses, she uncovers the elements of the story that give it cultural salience and resonance, both in its own right and in support of Bizet's acclaimed musical score. In doing so, Furman reveals how past and present renderings of the Carmen tale mirror the changing concerns and shifting values of individual authors and their societies--and how each new rendering has helped to embed Carmen into the global conscience.

French novelist, literary critic, and essayist Marcel Proust (1871–1922) was one of the most prominent authors of the twentieth century. This innovative edition features excerpts from In Search of Lost Time in their original French with the English translation en face.Whereas many introductory guides to Proust’s novel attempt to follow the development of the narrative, this guide focuses on Proust’s approach to writing as an art, one that can represent the changes brought by personal experiences as well as new inventions and historical events. Daunting in volume, in its range of topics, in its many characters, In Search of Lost Time requires steadfast attention and a discerning understanding not only of time, people, and place, but also of the expressivity of literary language. This guidebook entices readers to either start or renew their interest in Proust by presenting short citations from À la recherche du temps perdu (1913–1927) gathered around ten topics: Proust’s Project; Literature and Writing; Memory and Time; Art; Love and Jealousy; Sodom and Gomorrah; High Society; Objects; The Dreyfus Affair; and World War I. By including short extracts, this edition allows readers time to focus attention on specific issues dealing with Proust’s project, allowing readers to rediscover Proust or discover Proust for the first time. These accessible bilingual citations from À la recherche du temps perdu make an invaluable text for students of French or comparative literature, as well as translation, literature, and culture.
