Rares sont les études qui s'attachent à lire la correspondance de Fronton pour elle-même : quand on ne s'ingénie pas à reconstituer le texte, on recherche chez le professeur de rhétorique du IIe siècle des renseignements pouvant éclairer notre connaissance de son époque. Or, la correspondance, parce qu'elle permet d'entrer dans l'intimité d'un orateur, est un moyen privilégié de connaître la réflexion sur la parole et l'acte d'écrire de l'une des figures marquantes de la littérature du IIe siècle. Il a dès lors paru pertinent d'analyser la correspondance du point de vue de la construction littéraire : l'écriture de Fronton se place en continuité avec une tradition, d'abord épistolaire, ensuite générique. En effet, les lettres frontoniennes ne relèvent pas uniquement du cadre épistolaire elles font écho aux discours réels, frôlent l'histoire, se transforment en éloges paradoxaux, s'inscrivent parfois dans une forme plus précise, comme celle de l'" éroticos ". D'où notre volonté d'analyser les textes au plus près de la pensée de l'auteur. Indiscrétion littéraire, cette étude propose cinq explorations du cabinet d'écriture d'un rhéteur latin à l'époque de la Seconde Sophistique.

This collection of essays by international scholars focuses on the vernacular urban culture of the Chambers of Rhetoric in the Low Countries of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Reflecting social, religious, and economic realities at a time of fundamental change, the Rhetoricians’ plays also reveal a range of poetic and theatrical conventions that make them an important source of information both on practical stagecraft and on the role of theatre in the urban community, as seen in their involvement in civic processions or the organization of drama competitions. The volume sets the Rhetoricians’ drama in the cultural life of the provinces of the Low Countries during a period dominated by ruling foreign dynasties: the Burgundian dukes and then the Habsburg dynasty, most prominently the Emperor Charles V and his son King Philip II of Spain. It was a time of intense religious controversy which gave rise to debates both on and off stage. These debates, far from damaging Rhetorician culture, actually stimulated its activities and development to such an extent that Rhetoricians became representative voices for their time. The admixture of entertainment and education offered by the Chambers to their own members - and to a wider public - was one which, though originating in a medieval context, soon became linked with humanist and Renaissance thinking. This volume illustrates how, as a consequence, the Chambers of Rhetoric contributed to the development in the Low Countries of an increasingly articulate society.
