Retour à la page d'accueil. Retour à la liste des auteurs anglais. Me contacter. William Harrison Ainsworth (1805-1882) Auteur de récits d'aventures historiques , Ainsworth est l'auteur qui fait le premier basculer le roman historique de Walter Scott du côté du romanesque débridé. Son inspiration est en effet autant à rechercher du côté de l'Histoire que de la tradition du roman gothique et de l'imaginaire frénétique. Au gothique, Ainsworth emprunte l'architecture tourmentée des châteaux construits pour la souffrance des corps et des âmes (comme dans The Tower of London , 1840) dans le roman frénétique, l'auteur va rechercher l'évocation d'esprits pervers, l'expression extrème de la souffrance et les châtiments de l'innocence (Windsor Castle , 1843, et surtout The Lancashire Witches , récit de sorcellerie de 1849) Et même si Ainsworth fonde ses récits sur des informations historiques réelles (les monuments évoqués en titre en témoignent), l'histoire recule devant l'imaginaire fantastique et expressif. Ainsi, l'oeuvre d'Ainsworth combine de façon étonnante les descriptions instructives les plus sêches et les évocations les plus frénétiques. C'est surtout à travers un type de récit particulier, dans lequel il est passé maître, qu'Ainsworth va révéler les virtualités de son esthétique: ce modèle, c'est celui du récit de bandits, qui va connaître sous son impulsion une vogue considérable en Angleterre. Ses oeuvres les plus fameuses en la matière sont certainement

Retour à la page d'accueil. Présentation générale. Pour beaucoup, le roman d'aventures est essentiellement anglais. Cette affirmation s'appuie sur quatre constatations: d'abord, historiquement, c'est sans doute ici que le genre est né, avec Marryat, Ballantyne, Kingston ou Kingsley; ensuite, quantitativement, la plupart des auteurs sont issues de Grande-Bretagne, et qualitativement, les plus grands écrivains viennent de ces pays: Stevenson Conrad Rider Haggard , Conan Doyle Enfin, ce sont encore des auteurs de ces pays, qui ont contribué à la disparition du genre en le renouvelant: John Buchan qui a fait glisser le récit vers l'espionnage; Joseph Conrad , qui en proposant une lecture réaliste du roman d'aventures, a influencé toute une frange de la littérature française (Malraux, Cendrars, etc.); Conan Doyle qui, avec d'autres, a contribué dans ses romans d'aventures, à la naissance de la science fiction. Le roman d'aventures anglais a évolué au fil du temps. On peut distinguer plusieurs périodes. Les premiers récits, jusqu'en 1850, se destinaient aux adultes. C'est le cas des premières œuvres de Marryat, Mayne Reid ou de Kingsley. Très rapidement cependant, un renversement total s'est produit, et tous les auteurs, y compris Kingsley et Marryat, rejoints bientôt par Ballantyne, Kingston ou Henty, se mettent à écrire pour les enfants. Ils produisent des œuvres qui répondent aux priorités éducatives de la société victorienne: il s'agit de faire du jeune lecteur un parfait gentleman, apte à participer à l'édification de l'empire britannique. Le message pédagogique est omniprésent. Il s'appuie sur une morale chrétienne et surtout sur un ensemble de valeurs viriles: courage, droiture, sang-froid, persévérance, etc.

Myers Literary Guide Centre for Northern Studies JOHN BUCHAN (1875 - 1940) England was a foreign land to Buchan when, at the age of 17, he crossed into Northumberland at Carham on the Tweed. He found to his relief that in the strip of Northumberland he covered, the landscape, people and language were much the same as in his beloved Tweeddale. A versatile writer, Buchan produced some hundred books in the course of an active public life, but he is remembered best for his adventure stories like The Thirty-Nine Steps, which often feature chases over wild country. In The Island of Sheep his characters encounter a magnificent red sunset over Teesdale before driving their Bentley along the A 69, passing through Consett and noting 'the distant glow of ironworks'. They are being pursued, but elude their enemies on the North Pennine moors. Buchan evinces a familiarity with the countryside near Hexham: 'I had tramped a good deal there when I was keen on Hadrian's Wall' . The routes into Scotland through Carter Bar or Bellingham are rejected and the company eventually proceed via 'what must be the worst roads in Britain' - drove roads - 'into the upper glens of the Tyne' and so to safety in Ettrick . Buchan conveys the exhilaration of the high Cheviots: 'Anna was in wild spirits. The sight of bent and heather intoxicated her... The curlews especially she hailed as old friends...'
