Abstract

A Companion to Alain Chartier: Father of French Eloquence brings together fourteen contributions that offer a range of perspectives and insights into the works of this exceptional late medieval author. As heir to the past and herald of the future, Chartier reinvented the traditional, whether in Latin or French, verse or prose. Chartier’s open-ended, dialogic works and his own politically-engaged writing inspired his successors to think and write in new ways about ethics, the individual’s role in society, relationships between men and women, and the responsibility of a poet to his/her audience. As these essays show, Chartier’s renovation of poetic form and content had considerable influence over successive generations of writers in France and across Europe. Contributors are: Adrian Armstrong, Florence Bouchet, Emma Cayley, Daisy Delogu, Ashby Kinch, James C. Laidlaw, Marta Marfany, Deborah McGrady, Joan E. McRae, Jean-Claude Mühlethaler, Liv Robinson, Camille Serchuk, Andrea Tarnowski, Craig Taylor, and Hanno Wijsman.

Abstract

This important study takes a new approach to understanding Italian Renaissance humanism, based not on scholarly paradigms or philosophical concepts but on a neglected yet indispensable perspective: the humanists' understanding of themselves. Through a series of close textual studies, Patrick Baker excavates what humanists thought was important about humanism, how they viewed their own history, what goals they enunciated, what triumphs they celebrated - in short, he attempts to reconstruct humanist identity. What emerges is a small, coherent community dedicated primarily not to political ideology, a philosophy of man, an educational ethos, or moral improvement, but rather to the pursuit of classical Latin eloquence. Grasping the significance this stylistic ideal had for the humanists is essential to understanding both their sense of themselves and the importance they and others attached to their movement. For eloquence was no mere aesthetic affair but rather appeared to them as the guarantor of civilisation itself.

Abstract

Tout au long de la période qui court de la fin du XIVe siècle à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, les voix de l'éloquence ecclésiastique se font entendre et ses formes évoluent en fonction de visées qui prennent en compte la diversité des publics et des circonstances. Les articles qui composent ce volume témoignent du dynamisme de la pratique de l'éloquence dans le monde chrétien, des modifications qui apparaissent dans l'articulation entre les domaines du sacré et du profane, dans les formes et dans l'exposition des dogmes ou de l'histoire sainte, dans les rapports entre les auteurs et les institutions, entre religion établie et dissidence. À côté de l'éloquence ecclésiastique institutionnelle s'expriment des formes marginales, voire contestataires. Du militantisme convertisseur des textes de la pré-Réforme, des grands sermons de l'établissement de la Réforme et de la Contre-Réforme jusqu'aux Lumières, la pratique de l'éloquence s'infléchit au gré du contexte, allant du lyrisme et du pathétique à une rhétorique plus froide ou au contraire virulente.
