Faire parler la fête, l'imagination et la littérature depuis la Renaissance jusqu'au siècle des Lumières donne l'occasion de porter un regard sur la poétique de la fête avec ses topoi, ses justifications et ses enjeux, ses continuités et ses ruptures, d'envisager les domaines festifs et de réfléchir sur la vitalité de la fête lorsqu'elle tisse des liens avec l'imaginaire. Une dynamique, voire une dialectique, unissent la fête et l'imagination. Entre le rêve et l'histoire, entre les fictions et leurs enjeux historiques, ce sont ces rapports instables et féconds que cet ouvrage présente, sous leurs formes les plus diverses (fêtes populaires, fêtes de cour, fêtes monarchiques), dans les genres les plus divers (poésie, roman, théâtre...), de la Renaissance à la période révolutionnaire.

This commentary provides a detailed analysis of the first book of Ovid's Fasti, a complex poem which takes as its central framework the Roman calendar in the late Augustan/early Tiberian period and purports to deal with its religious festivals and their origins. Book 1 covers the month of January, and has proven to be particularly challenging to readers in light of the apparent revision/reworking of the text undertaken by the poet whilst in exile. This commentary - the most extensive yet on any single book of the poem - locates the text of Book 1 firmly in its literary, historical and socio-political contexts and seeks both to incorporate and build on the recent scholarship on the poem. In light of the special nature of Book 1, the commentary is prefaced by two introductory sections, the second of which tackles head-on the problems (and dynamics) of post-exilic reworking of the text.

This book analyses the mythical and legendary narratives in Ovid's Fasti as narrative and concentrates on the neglected literary aspects of these stories. It combines traditional tools of literary criticism with more modern techniques (taken especially from narratology and intertextuality). From a narratological viewpoint it covers important features such as aperture, closure, characterization, internal narrators, description, space, time and cinematic technique. On the intertextual level it examines the narratives' complex relationship with Virgil, Livy and Ovid's own earlier works. Recent criticism on the Fasti has addressed various elements (religious, historical, political, astronomical et cetera), but detailed narrative study has been wanting. This book fills that gap, to provide a more informed and balanced appreciation of this multifaceted poem aimed at classicists and literary critics in general (for whom all the Latin is translated).
