Marisa Cangelosi: "Féminité et masculinité dans trois nouvelles de jeunesse de Madame de Staël (Mirza ou lettre d'un voyageur, Adélaïde et Théodore, L'Histoire de Pauline)"
Abstract:
In 1786 Madame de Staël wrote three short stories: Adelaide et Theodore, Histoire de Pauline, Mirza ou lettre d'un voyageur, published in 1795. Though written by a writer who was just starting her career, a relation can be seen with the future work, particularly with Delphine and Corinne.
The three short stories, based on love affairs, offer a remarkable choice of topoi of femininity and masculinity and deal with relations between woman, men and society. These topoi channel the heroines' fate in a path that is based on a social and cultural weakness of woman — the lack of education —, and proceed through prejudice and suspect, abandon, sacrifice, death.
What comes out is the image of a significant sexual difference. Nevertheless, even if woman loses her struggle with society, she remains glorious, while man saves himself but without being triumphant. Everything is in a turmoil in the three short stories, and especially in Mirza, the most innovating one. It's not time for feminine emancipation yet, but Madame de Staël promises its coming.
