Jan Herman: "La reconnaissance littéraire. Stratégies de légitimation et métaphore parentale dans le roman du XVIIIe siècle"
Abstract:
In this essay we study the topos, originating in Plato's Phedre, in which the written discourse is formulated through the metaphor of the child which has been abandoned by the father. To what extent has this topos survived the eighteenth century novel? Several issues are raised and intersect each other in our inquiry.
The «paternity» of the text is to be found in the preface. The study of a large corpus of peritexts from the first half of the century shows that the written text constantly demands the assistance of a «generator», without whom the text would he nothing more than an abandoned child, without hope of recognition or acceptance. However, the written text is only fully written, and is only recognised as such, in and through the elimination of the father. Faced with this dilemma, it seems as if the novel has developed a dual rhetoric. On the one hand, a certain number of prefaces seems to have as its sole purpose the manifestation of their uselessness. On the other hand, the novel nourishes, through its «escorting» discourse, the desire to remain a manuscript. A written discourse, certainly, but not one destined for the reading public. In this countermanoeuvre of non-recognition, the text of the novel is subtly influenced by feminine connotations. The abandoned child has become a girl.
