Full textThe Nineteenth century is a period which breaks with classical conventions and seems to mark the beginning of the modern age. The most important sign of this rupture is the French Revolution, which brought about a considerable upheaval in society and gave new direction to the work of many writers. That is the case for Chateaubriand, for whom the Revolution produced convulsive images in which the ugly and the beautiful merged into each other, in compliance with the aesthetic of the sublime. The same horrific scenes are found in both Les Natchez and Les Martyrs. We are plunged into a fascinating and enigmatic world, full of characters both disconcerting and upsetting, a powerful world in which all extremes come together. Chateaubriand's novelistic texts are inspired by Milton's and Burke's sublime. Energy, passion and violence override aesthetic taste. Our study consists in showing how the infernal sublime which appears simultaneously in characters, nature and writing, is also attenuated by a supernatural sublime linked to religion. Chateaubriand's characters worship exaltation in the face of misfortune. The author stresses the voluntary experience of crime, even when it is collectively justified by war. The vocabulary of the sublime leads to a theory of action and of individual transgression. The pleasure in evil is no more a paradox but the logic of the desire of power. Through his characters, Chateaubriand fathoms dark energies which animate man, and their explosion produces a sublime of terror. The author introduced the suject of crime to cause an extraordinary and shocking effect, as the notion of sublime requires ; he also tells of the devil's apparition which embodies Evil in his novels, so that the world of Les Natchez and Les Martyrs is a disorded and fantastic one. In Les Martyrs, Chateaubriand tackles crimes that society commits, and which suggest hell beneath our world. The survival of evil shows itself in awful crimes, violent behaviour and the exacerbation of desire. Terror, strength and excess are the driving forces of both our novels. The inexhaustible power of the wicked must always leads them to extreme states of mind : madness and monstrousness. The only means to present these superhuman beings is to use the image of the monster, or else those of fire and hell, which convey quasi-demoniacal characters. This transgression of law and order makes possible the creation of a man absolute in evil, such as Ondouré, and this boundless power constitutes the fondamental feature of the sublime in both works. Les Martyrs and Les Natchez point out in their own way that the most profound truth of man is revealed through emotion and violent pulsions, and not in the use of reason and wisdom. This idea of sublime also appears in nature, first impulsive, then glorified. Horrible and threatening, seas, forests and storms impress and hypnotize because of the sublime forces they contain. This monstruous sublime of nature imposes the desire for power's defeat of man. It expresses the dramatical intenseness in which man is confronted with the vertigo of his weakness and with his helplessness faced with an inhospitable nature. Parallel to this monstruous sublime, a more peacefull sublime can be found in the narration. The sublime comes to be in humbleness and simplicity, as well as in a Christian thought which wants to conciliate humility and sublime, devotion and divine greatness. In Chateaubriand's world, the sublime's poetics are never far from a religious question, in communion with God. This ideal sublime becomes especially apparent in Les Martyrs, where it is lived morally and religiously, and its purpose is to acknowledge divine law. It also leads to the evocation of nature, finally peaceful and welcoming. Chateaubriand becomes a painter, because restful sublime is for him first a delight for the senses, a visual display which causes artistic activity. Chateaubriand thus guided the sublime towards the picturesque. So, this notion does not originate solely in violence and is not always on a par with terror. Nature is the place in which a ceaseless fecondity leads to a particularly sensual reverie : sublime is in league with pleasure and grace as much as with violence and terror. It is so full of humanity that the author gives a moral and sentimental aim to the simplest beings : the flower, the bird, the insect show its vitality and unity. The natural element is perhaps an abyss, but Chateaubriand rejects the thought of chaos, and makes his texts converge at a finality : harmony. Nevertheless, although Les Natchez and Les Martyrs are the privileged crucible of the author's idealism of simplicity, Chateaubriand's thougt remains constantly preoccupied with the problem of evil, which unceasingly ruins the whole structure of humanitarian and religious idealism

Full textThe present thesis consists of two parts which are demarcated distinctly by their theme and their method. The first, dedicated to death in history, is placed under the aegis of the problem of murder, of violent death. The second deals with the experience of death whether it affects the self, the relatives or others. A common problem traverses death in history and death as a way of living : the scriptural representation of the historic past and the personal testimonies are defined in comparison with an obsession, or even better, a fascination over death. Both parts are structured according to an orientated trajectory which is found to assume each time a triple rhythme. In this way, death in history begins deliberately with the analysis of the French Revolution, from its criminal birth until the disappearance of its actors ; it goes through the entire reign of Napoléon, from the execution of the duke of Enghien to the tomb of the Emperor at Sainte-Hélène ; it reaches finally the years of the Restauration to stop at the moment of the death of Charles X. The trajectory of the triad of the self, of the relatives and of others, embraces the three phases of the experience of death which becomes a veritable way of life ; from the stadium of the external and impersonal knowledge of common death, it goes through the disappearance of relatives by evoking the problems of loss and of mourning ; it comes to an end with the death in the first person of the appropriated and internalized death

Full textViolence permeates and informs the writing of the Mémoires d'outre-tombe and brings together both the memorialist's esthetics and his readings from the period as echoed in his works. Thus the theme of violence constitutes a particularly effective approach for defining and refining one's appreciation of Chateaubriand's poetics, his esthetic and political thought, and the constructs of his imagination, all anchored in a historic perspective—states of mind, mythologies, and ideologies. Revolutionary violence brings with it destabilization and grounds the modern era on a rejection of tradition and a loss of identity. Marginalized from History in terms of actual events, Chateaubriand recovers a measure of historical authenticity through his use of the imaginary. Revolutionary trauma is thus at the origin of a rich production of images that the writer develops both to stigmatize and at the same time to attempt to exorcize violence endured. Because he was a participant in history, the memorialist formulated strategies of implication or protection, inaugurating a specific way of writing about violence

Full textSpace and time meet in "memory places": these places are not only geographical sites, but they are pictures too, extracted from time, like photographs kept in mind. We have limited our study, in the "Mémoires d'Outre-tombe", to memory places which protect the writer and constitute life and creation spaces. Their heart is a refuge, which may be a residence, an architectural place or a simple shelter, and the town or village, woods and gardens surrounding it. Main places are both protective and fragile, like secondary places of memory which multiply, for the artist nostalgic of somewhere else and past. They are all present in the text, like small lively pictures. Secondary memory places are linked to the first by the associative memory's work which aims to recreate continuity of actual time. But all of these places are in danger of being forgotten, of falling down, being deserted by life, because of death, banishment, moving, historical disorders. . . So the constructive strength of the artist has to appear even in the heart of each picture: if associative memory, links of heart, travelling memory places bind together the writer's stages of life and travels, cultural, sentimental and spiritual roots also make each picture stronger. Perceiving time as continuous could also be staying in the same place, as an epicurean, looking at time sedimenting, as the writer dreamt. So Chateaubriand succeeded in overcoming threats of time's disasters, never forgetting them

Full textStarting from the presupposition that Chateaubriand rehabilitated the Middle Ages, i examine in his work the evolution of two themes which were treated as rather marginal in the 18th century, but then came to fruition in the Romantic period : the Gothic and chivalry. In doing so, I seek to show how the Revolution, which Chateaubriand despised only for its crimes against ancient France, paradoxically made him into the disseminator of a culture to which he had no innate inclination. Central to a gothic imagination which combines imagery from Breton landscapes and arguments from the Gothic revival, the cliché of the gothique sylvestre, an intuitive theory which prevents one from having to think as a specialist, first serves the purpose of a re-sacralization of a profaned cathedral, and then, after 1830, moves towards a romantic aesthetics of profusion and enormity. Parallel to this, as a model of greatness extended to a world of pygmies. But the ruin determines the emotion. If Chateaubriand brings into his "cathedral autobiography" the commited figure of the knight-writer and integrates courtly ethics into his amorous fantasies, the Middle Ages, set at the distance through irony and emptied out by ghostly stagings from the gothic novel, is denounced as a reactionary aesthetics and ideological model. Torn between honor and freedom, the Gothic and the Classic, Chateaubriand finally stops at the Renaissance which , as conveyed in the figures of Chambord and François Ier, carries out the ephemerical fusion of principles and styles and, above all, by letting the past dye peacefully and by preserving the continuity of history, opposes the bloody advent of modernity with the miracle of a painless Revolution
