Leconte de Lisle, entre utopie et république
Qu’il puise dans les modèles antiques ou illustre ironiquement la tradition gothique, qu’il défende l’utopie fouriériste ou une république imaginaire, Leconte de Lisle s’est engagé dans les combats politiques de son siècle. Ses convictions commandent d’ailleurs ses partis pris littéraires ; il dénoncera toujours les implications monarchiques et catholiques du romantisme. Son engagement, qui n’est pas exempt de fanatisme, s’accentue au fil des recueils, pour atteindre un paroxysme dans les Poèmes tragiques. Leconte de Lisle s’inspire en outre des sciences idéologiquement chargées que sont à l’époque l’histoire des religions et la cosmologie. La manière dont la science et la mythologie se côtoient et se confondent dans ses poèmes est un des aspects originaux d’une œuvre dont le passéisme déclaré fonde les aspirations les plus farouchement républicaines.

LeConte Lodge
Of the 13 million visitors who annually flock to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, fewer than one in a thousand spend a night at the LeConte Lodge. Continuing over 100 years of service, Eastern America's highest lodge still operates with a waiting list, thriving so far off the grid that laundry is transported by llamas and food is ferried in by helicopter. Visitors must brave one of six trails to the Lodge's entrance, the shortest of which is five miles. Despite its remote location in Tennessee, LeConte Lodge remains a prominent tourist destination as it celebrates its centennial. Written by two journalists who have been making the trek for decades, this book reveals a history that predates the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The book features stories that contextualize the Lodge's development, from the log bunkhouse that marked the property in the 1920s to the flourishing Lodge there today. It also studies the history of Le Cont Mountain, the peak that houses the Lodge and shares its name.

Patrice Leconte
Lisa Downing's comprehensive study of the films of Patrice Leconte traces lines of continuity and revision through a body of apparently disparate films whose "messages" often appear both contradictory and controversial. Pursuing a close reading of the recurrent themes, styles, intertexts and techniques which structure Leconte's filmmaking, Downing re-evaluates Leconte's status as an enigmatic artist offering complex and paradoxical commentary on contemporary questions of sexuality, ethics and identity. This book is the first full-length critical work in English on Leconte's cinema. It provides essential reading for both enthusiasts of French cinema and for those fascinated by the relationship between popular culture and theory.

Leconte de Lisle's Poems on the Barbarian Races
Originally published in 1947, this book presents a comprehensive study regarding the Poèmes barbares (1862) of Leconte de Lisle. Two key areas are explored: 'what attracted Leconte de Lisle to the history and mythology of the barbarian races, by what methods and in accordance with what ideas he transformed his material into poetry'. The text is organised in reflection of the different ethnic and tribal groups contained within the poems. Detailed notes are incorporated throughout and a bibliography is also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in French poetry and literary criticism.
