L'histoire tragique, née de la traduction par Boaistuau de six nouvelles de Bandello, fut un genre à la mode pendant un siècle, à partir du début des guerres de religion. Sa poétique du vrai, de la violence et de l'hyperbole s'inscrit dans un espace de frontière entre fiction, histoire et fait divers qui marque les débuts de notre modernité. Cet essai passe en revue la production du premier XVIIe siècle, très importante pour le rayonnement du genre, et constitue encore aujourd'hui la seule "histoire des Histoires" de cette époque. Le texte italien remonte à 1985 mais garde encore son actualité. Une version française s'imposait. La traduction des collègues et amis de l'auteur permet de le mettre maintenant à disposition du public français.

Before the 1970s, there were only a few acclaimed biographical novels. But starting in the 1980s, there was a veritable explosion of this genre of fiction, leading to the publication of spectacular biographical novels about figures as varied as Abraham Lincoln, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Friedrich Nietzsche, Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, Henry James, and Marilyn Monroe, just to mention a notable few. This publication frenzy culminated in 1999 when two biographical novels (Michael Cunningham's The Hours and Russell Banks' Cloudsplitter) were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and Cunningham's novel won the award. In The American Biographical Novel, Michael Lackey charts the shifts in intellectual history that made the biographical novel acceptable to the literary establishment and popular with the general reading public. More specifically, Lackey clarifies the origin and evolution of this genre of fiction, specifies the kind of 'truth' it communicates, provides a framework for identifying how this genre uniquely engages the political, and demonstrates how it gives readers new access to history.

Issue d'une thèse, cette étude éclaire l'émergence du genre romanesque peu après la guerre de l'Indépendance et la vague révolutionnaire. L'auteure montre en quoi cette naissance se révèle difficile et témoigne de la tension qui émerge à la fin du XVIIIe siècle entre la société et la littérature américaines. ©Electre 2017
