The Phonographic Author of Milton, Edison and Uzanne
This paper maps the connection of Milton and Edison in the late Victorian imagination as examples of geniuses. I argue that their juxtaposition is rooted in the voice hearing etymology of the genius, but more importantly in the notion of what I call the phonographic author. Drawing on nineteenth-cen...

Cet article montre comment John Milton et Thomas Edison furent érigés en génies dans l’imagination victorienne tardive. Ces deux hommes jouissaient semble-t-il d’une ouïe vocale exceptionnelle, et au dix-neuvième siècle, leurs lecteurs et commentateurs firent d’eux des « auteurs phonographiques ». À travers l’étude d’un corpus de publications nous pourrons comparer comment la conception par Edison du phonographe impacta sa rédaction de livres et comment l’imagination populaire victorienne se saisit de cette perméabilité entre le son et l’écrit, en particulier dans la nouvelle d’Octave Uzanne « La fin des livres » (1894), tout en soulignant le rôle attribué à Milton dans l’invention et la plausibilité de « l’auteur phonographique ». |
