- catalog abstract ""Fille d'un éleveur des hauts plateaux francsmontagnards, Rose-Hélène se déchire entre des amours impossibles. Autour d'elle rôdent les hommes, qui sont comme des 'feux lâchés'. Il y a ce brocanteur qui la piège au charme brut de son bric-à-brac. Il y a ce Valentin que sa famille n'a pax accepté ... Elle est de celles qui manquent, et qui le savent. Elle manque à la coutume, aux anciens, elle défie la continuité, l'héritage, elle manque aux hommes. Infirmière visitante, elle va de ferme en ferme, et si les gens l'acceptent pour ses talents de guérisseuse, elle ne sent que trop leur sourde réprobation. L'histoire suit Rose-Hélène dans ses courses diurnes et nocturnes, et pourtant chaque, nuit la ramène à la pâle veilleuse qui luit chez elle, dans la grande maison. Le récit est couvert par le regard bienveillant de la grand-mère, qui tente de comprendre le mystère de sa petite-fille jusque dans ses profondes conséquences, jusqu'à l'ultime étreinte -- celle de la neige. Et le traîneau qui glisse emporte le livre vers une fin digne des auteurs russes. Paul-André Lesort a écrit du premier ouvrage de Monnier qu'il atteignait à 'l'essence même du roman'. La réussite de 'L'Allégement' n'est pas moindre, et cette fois dans un genre à peine différent: le récit"--Publisher's description, p. [2] of cover.".

- catalog abstract "This momentous study of Benjamin's critical practice marks a sea change in Eagleton's thought. As the subtitle suggests, its goal is not merely to contemplate Benjamin's approach to language, history, and art but to chart a dynamic new course for contemporary socialist criticism. To do this, Eagleton brushes Benjamin's Trauerspiel against seventeenth-century British literature, tests his concept of the "aura" against Freud and Lacan, and undertakes his most sustained engagement with Derrida and the political crossroads of deconstruction.".
- catalog abstract ""This book is a statement of my views on a number of problems in literary theory and contemporary criticism. But it is also - as any theoretical study must be - a progress report, a record of inquiry that has not yet concluded. In a sense, a book on "theory" cannot really end. At a certain point, work on it ceases, even though one continues to think critically and skeptically about the problems - and the solutions - that the book contains." -- Preface. p. xi.".

In making the reader aware of these, they suggest options for change. Language And The Sexes synthesizes a wide range of up-to-date information and research under several topics: naming, stereotypes of language behavior, the politics of conversation, forms of address, asymmetry in vocabulary, and possibilities of reform. The book concludes with suggested projects related to these topics, guidelines for non-discriminatory language use, and an extensive bibliography.".
