Analyser l’échelle européenne




Abstract:

This article illustrates, once again, the digitizing project now going on at Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands: “Belle de Zuylen’s letters on-line”. It gives another example of the new perspectives which were created for the study of this correspondence, and it is a way of testing the usability of the ICT tool in view of answering content related questions. A corpus of about 100 letters, sent to Isabelle de Charrière between 1790 and 1800 from Germany and from Italy, is analyzed in order to become aware of the attitudes and reactions experienced and formulated by the correspondents, each of them being at a distance from Le Pontet, but feeling connected to Charrière.
