Le colloque sur les paraphrases bibliques aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles qui s'est tenu à Bordeaux en septembre 2004 a réuni des chercheurs venus d'horizons divers pour mener une réflexion sur une pratique d'écriture très féconde à l'époque, quoique déroutante à la fois par la diversité des champs qu'elle recouvre (théologie, liturgie, littérature, musique) et par la variété des postures qu'elle adopte ou des visées qu'elle poursuit (traduction, exégèse, homélie, sermon, imitation ou explication poétique). La marge de manœuvre que la démarche même de la réécriture laisse au paraphraste lui permet de franchir les limites imposées aux genres traditionnels, et de s'aventurer sur des chemins de traverse qui sont pour son œuvre autant d'occasions de démontrer ses facultés de souplesse et de rénovation. Réécrire, qu'il s'agisse d'expliquer, d'interpréter ou tout simplement de répéter, c'est s'approprier le discours de l'autre. Sous cet angle, l'appellation de paraphrase se révèle trompeuse : elle n'est pas un acte de subordination idéologique ou littéraire, mais bien plutôt l'apprentissage d'une forme de liberté - liberté de pensée, liberté d'écriture, séparées ou conjuguées selon les cas. Le choix du texte de base, son interprétation idéologique, sa translation formelle, son utilisation (liturgique, polémique, pastorale ou autre), tels sont les indices d'une singularité qui s'élabore et s'affirme en bordure de l'autre.

Inquiring into the formation of a literary canon during the Restoration and the eighteenth century, Barbara Benedict poses the question, "Do anthologies reflect or shape contemporary literary taste?" She finds that there was a cultural dialectic at work: miscellanies and anthologies transmitted particular tastes while in turn being influenced by the larger culture they helped to create. Benedict reveals how anthologies of the time often created a consensus of literary and aesthetic values by providing a bridge between the tastes of authors, editors, printers, booksellers, and readers.Making the Modern Reader, the first full treatment of the early modern anthology, is in part a history of the London printing trade as well as of the professionalization of criticism. Benedict thoroughly documents the historical redefinition of the reader: once a member of a communal literary culture, the reader became private and introspective, morally and culturally shaped by choices in reading. She argues that eighteenth-century collections promised the reader that culture could be acquired through the absorption of literary values. This process of cultural education appealed to a middle class seeking to become discriminating consumers of art.By addressing this neglected genre, Benedict contributes a new perspective on the tension between popular and high culture, between the common reader and the elite. This book will interest scholars working in cultural studies and those studying noncanonical texts as well as eighteenth-century literature in general.Originally published in 1996.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
