"...et que mon livre porte à la foule future“Anna de Noailles – Belle Époque Author and Agent of Modernism

安娜·德·诺伊尔斯(Anna de Noailles，1876-1933)生前是一位成功的作家、文学政治家，也是艺术和初出茅庐的作家的赞助人，她是巴黎美丽时代最受尊敬的文学人物之一。鉴于这位希腊和罗马尼亚血统的作家到目前为止很少受到学术关注，这个项目代表着对安娜·德·诺伊尔斯作为美丽时代作家的杰出成就以及她作为文学现代主义关键参与者的开创性和系统性的调查。这个项目将寻求建立安娜·德·诺伊尔斯如何在男性主导的文学领域为自己开辟出一个突出的利基市场，作为作家、批评家和赞助人，并在文学现代主义的演变中发挥关键作用。Noailles在这方面的重要性可以归因于她以一种独特的方式从女性角度重新构建哲学、美学、题材和主题的能力，以及她作为一名沙龙、批评家和初出茅庐的作家的赞助人对巴黎文坛做出的重要贡献。这些因素，加上她的社会承诺，帮助诺艾尔斯在巴黎文坛的重大动荡时期获得了突出的推动者和颠覆者的地位。这个项目将调查小说、散文和汽车小说等，这些小说在很大程度上没有受到评论界的关注，在这些小说中，诺艾尔斯的独特地位占据了突出的地位。由于她的出身，她经常被塑造成一个充满异国情调的东方人--当这个角色适合她的目的时，她会有意识地安排这个角色，那个时期先锋艺术家为她画的无数肖像就说明了这一点。然而，这种异国情调导致文学评论家不公正地将诺艾尔斯的身份和作品与无限性感、非理性、道德松弛和威胁女性气质的刻板观念混为一谈。在此背景下，该项目将阐明诺埃莱作为移民之女的流亡经历，这些移民来自一个经常受到东方主义掠夺的文化区，以及这种遗产如何在确立诺埃莱作为法国作家的地位时引发身份和合法性的冲突。

Famed during her lifetime as a successful writer, literary politician, as well as a patron of the arts and of fledgling authors, Anna de Noailles (1876-1933) was one of the most highly regarded literary figures of the Parisian Belle Époque. Given that the author of Greek and Romanian ancestry has until now garnered very little scholarly attention, this project represents a pioneering and systematic investigation of Anna de Noailles’ outstanding accomplishment as Belle Époque author, as well as her role as a key player in literary modernism. This project will seek to establish how Anna de Noailles carved out a prominent niche for herself as an author, critic and patron in a male-dominated literary field, and played a pivotal role in the evolution of literary modernism. Noailles’ importance in this regard can be attributed to both her ability to reframe - in an idiosyncratic fashion - philosophy, aesthetics, subject matter and motifs from a female perspective, as well as her vital contributions to the Parisian literary scene as a salonnière, critic and patron of fledgling authors. These factors in tandem with her social commitment helped secure Noailles’ place as a prominent mover and shaker in the Parisian literary scene during a period of major upheaval. This project will investigate, among other things, novels, prose pieces and auto-fictions that have largely escaped critical attention, in which Noailles’ idiosyncratic position figure prominently. Often cast as an exotic oriental on account of her origins – a role she would self-consciously orchestrate when it suited her purposes, as illustrated in numerous portraits of her by avant-garde artists of the period – this exoticism has nonetheless led literary critics to unjustly conflate Noailles’ identity and oeuvre with stereotypical notions of boundless sensuality, irrationality, moral laxity and threatening femininity. Against this backdrop, this project will illuminate Noailles‘ experience of exile as the daughter of immigrants from a cultural region often subject to the depredations of Orientalism, and how this heritage gives rise to conflicts of identity and legitimation in establishing Noailles’ status as a French writer.
