Des Lettres trouvées dans des portefeuilles d'émigrés (1793) d'Isabelle de Charrière à Quatrevingt-Treize (1874) de Victor Hugo, paru après la Commune, les années 1793-1794 ont nourri l'imagination de nombreux romanciers. Au-delà des têtes coupées et des scènes de guillotine, comment le roman pense-t-il et figure-t-il la Terreur ? Quelles relations entretient-il avec les discours historiographiques qui se construisent à la même époque ? Sans se limiter aux oeuvres canoniques, cet essai s'intéresse au rôle de la littérature romanesque dans la constitution d'un imaginaire (récits, types, emblèmes, métaphores) dont les enjeux politiques, sociaux mais aussi littéraires traversent tout le XIXe siècle et nous concernent encore aujourd'hui.

How have we come to depend so greatly on the words terror and terrorism to describe broad categories of violence? David Simpson offers here a philology of terror, tracking the concept's long, complicated history across literature, philosophy, political science, and theology-from Plato to NATO. Introducing the concept of the "fear-terror cluster," Simpson is able to capture the wide range of terms that we have used to express extreme emotional states over the centuries-from anxiety, awe, and concern to dread, fear, and horror. He shows that the choices we make among such words to describe shades of feeling have seriously shaped the attribution of motives, causes, and effects of the word "terror" today, particularly when violence is deployed by or against the state. At a time when terror-talk is widely and damagingly exploited by politicians and the media, this book unpacks the slippery rhetoric of terror and will prove a vital resource across humanistic and social sciences disciplines.
