Likely pressured by his brother Napoléon Bonaparte, Lucien quickly suppressed a novel avowedly anticolonial. This article analyzes Lucien Bonaparte’s critique of colonial practices and commerce as politically equivocal or “compromised,” and traces the ambivalence of his post-revolutionary novel to its main sources of inspiration, the best-selling Histoire philosophique des deux Indes published by Guillaume Raynal in 1780. Ultimately, La Tribu indienne reflects the impossible construction of an enlightened or soft colonialism à la française.Item Open Access The Crocodile Strikes Back. Saint-Martin’s Interpretation of the French Revolution.(Eighteenth-Century Fiction, 2006-10) Moore, FabienneItem Open Access Early French Romanticism(Blackwell, 2005-12) Moore, FabienneItem Open Access From Spain’s Moors to Spain’s Colonies: Chateaubriand’s Mapping of Liberty and Equality in Les Aventures du dernier Abencérage.(University of Nebraska Press, 2018) Moore, FabienneWhere does Spain fit on the post-revolutionary map? Contemporary Spain remains marginalized at the periphery of European civilization, as if deemed not yet ready, like its colonies, to put Enlightenment ideals into practice. Chateaubriand perpetuates this remoteness of the Iberian Peninsula by setting an interracial, interfaith romance, Les Aventures du dernier Abencérage, in the distant past of Moorish Spain, when, in fact, interracial romances prompted much contemporary debate in the American colonies. This article analyzes the contrast between an idealized vision of aristocratic liberty and equality set in 1526 and the pragmatic politics of liberal imperialism when it came to Spain's future and the fate of its Spanish colonies. The first part interprets the story against the backdrop of its writing in 1810 shortly after Napoleon's invasion of Spain. The second part connects the novella's 1826 publication with Chateaubriand's political role when, named Minister of Foreign Affairs, he instigated a military intervention in Spain in 1823.Item Open Access Germaine de Staël Defines Romanticism, or the Analogy of the Glass Harmonica(Bucknell University Press, 2013) Moore, FabienneItem Open Access Homer Revisited: Anne Le Fèvre Dacier’s Preface to Her Prose Translation of the Iliad in Early Eighteenth Century France(Georgia State University, 2000) Moore, FabienneItem Open Access How to Reconquer Poiesis?

In the throes of momentous scientific, philosophical, and socioeconomic changes, Enlightenment authors turned to the past to revive sources such as Homer, the pastoral, Ossian, the Bible, and primitive eloquence, favoring music to construct alternatives to the world of reason. The result, Moore argues, were prose poems, including Fénelon’s Les Aventures de Télémaque, Montesquieu’s Le Temple de Gnide, Rousseau’s Le Lévite d’Ephraïm, Chateaubriand’s Atala, as well as many lesser-known texts, most of which remain out of print. Moore’s treatment of Bible criticism and eighteenth-century religious reform movements reveal the often-neglected spiritual side of Enlightenment culture, and tracks its contribution to the period’s reflection about language and poetic invention. Moore includes in appendices four unusual texts adjudicating the merits of prose poems, making evidence of their controversial nature now accessible to readers.Item Open Access Revolution or ‘Deplorable School’?
