Abstract

En se situant à la croisée de la rhétorique, de l'esthétique et de l'idéologie, cette étude cherche à mettre en lumière les ambiguïtés du pathos, notion qui emprunte autant au sublime qu'à l'obscène. S'inscrivant dans une esthétique fondée sur le mélange des genres et des formes, le pathos s'exprime à nouveau dans les arts plastiques, en littérature avec l'autofiction et dans la téléréalité.

Abstract

In this discerning study of sentimental discourse of the late eighteenth century, David J. Denby sheds new light on Enlightenment thought and sensibility. He reveals how sentimental sub-literature reflects the social attitudes of the emerging bourgeoisie, and how its formal structures are reflected in contemporary theories concerning the nature of society, morality, and politics. Denby explores how the language and forms of sentimental narratives were adopted and exploited by political and social writers, and how sentimentalism provided a theme of continuity underlying the dominant sense of change brought about by the Revolution. In this interdisciplinary book Denby argues that sentimentalism is central to the culture of late eighteenth-century France. Texts discussed include works by Rousseau and de Staël.
