Full textEven within epistolary novels, he characterises himself by a continuous experimentation: which is established by an psychological analysis of his letter writers. The narrator, most of epistolary type in an feminine writing, becomes aware of her love story at the moment of her writing. Her life changes all through the narration. According to Crébillon’s process, his aesthetic borders the general technique of letter novels with however some remarkable differences: the first one belongs to Lettres de la Duchesse (1768) in which an enunciation, which is not immediate but a retrospection of a passion wished and dodged, is used from the beginning. The second one comes from the Lettres athéniennes (1771) in which Crébillon reencounter a historical truth. He elaborated a space-time change, the ancient truth is transposed to the eighteenth century. Hence, he creates a gap between the moment the moment of the acts and the instant in which it has been written. Only the Lettres de la Marquise (1732) presents the simultaneity between the writing of the letters and the heroine’s passion progress, a concomitance between the transcription and the romantic plot

Full textCrebillon jr. Was neither a libertine nor a censor, but an ironist : he derided the gentry of the days of louis xv just as he poked fun at literary forms and mocked them up. He tried his and at various novalistic techniques just as he did so at amorous banter and romance. Therefore his works should never be taken at face value. If one is to perceive the paradoxical and ambiguous overtones of his works, one should first analyse the irony in his writings, in which we find two voices that both mingle and contradict each other, resulding in a polyphony whose patterns the dialogue reflects. Therefore the dialogue pervades and overwheims his narratives. In crebillon's sentences, as well as in his works at large, truths jostle together so that they never freeze to a stanstill, and the meaning takes shape white losing shape at the same time. And if art ultimately gets the upper hand, it does so by breaking free from its very own rules

Full textWhen Crébillon became aware that his readers resented his waning inspiration and gradually lost interest in his work, he published Les Lettres de la Duchesse in 1768. By openly claiming the legacy of La Princesse de Clèves and its first monody Les Lettres de la Marquise, he showed how intent he was on casting the shackles of novel aesthetics made fashionable by Richardson and Rousseau. What appears as comparatively new about the poetics of this epistolary novel, however flimsy it may be, is Crébillon’s skill in limiting the « events » in the novel to the matter of the letters, in blurring the topoï of the libertine novel, and making its libertinage exist only through words. Crébillon does not limit himself to casting a distanced and readily critical eye on aristocrats and their licentiousness but he also ponders over the notion of virtue and the developments of social ideology and he quite unexpectedly relates personal and disappointing experiences

Full textThis study poposes a thematic and chronological analysis of desire in relation with love and society life, as it appears in the seven novels composed by claude crebillon from 1730 to 1740. It was conducted with the help of the critical implements brought out by r. Girard from his reading of the major european novelists or dramatists (cervantes, shakespeare, dostoievski, proust). That is, essentially, the hypothesis of a mimetic desire whose major invariants where described by these authors in their principal works. In crebillon, the mimetic nature of desire is allegorically expressed as early as in his first story, le sylphe, which also opens a debate with the conventions of classical ethics and aesthetics on the problem of love relations. The epistolary novel, lettres de la marquise de m:::, as l'ecumoire en le sopha - a fairy tale and an oriental tale- each question the philosophy of their own traditions, in terms sometimes leading to the most joyful parody. In les egarements du coeur et de l'esprit, crebillon minutely describes the frustration-producing mechanisms of desire relations, and he outlines the foundations of a doctrine thanks to which this painful experience could be avoided. The last two dialogues, la nuit et le moment and le hasard du coin du feu, both convey the elaborating process of this doctrine. La nuit et le moment comprises a description of the

Full textThe study of language, which in the works of Crébillon fils (1701-1777) is the sole action, has superseded the eighteenth century themes of libertinage and erotism, that unjustly kept him a long while away from the literary circles of the Enlightenment. The extent of the prolific characteristics of his writing has been largely studied by critics, whereas the language of the implicit was merely hinted. The present study shows that this figure of speech structures both the writing and the thinking of Crébillon. It has been necessary to observe the implicit at work, to reveal it and analyse its effects in the text in all its different forms. The reading of Crébillon under a new angle repositions his works in the literature of the Enlightenment, underlines the richness of his thoughts on the eighteenth century society man, as well as bringing forward a new questioning on the aesthetics of his novel

Full textClaude Crébillon (1707-1777) was accused of being a libertine novelist. A recent discovery portrays him as an ethnographer or a moralist when he is a player. Inextricably, libertine pastimes and those of the novel weave works which testify to the disorders of society, the difficulties of novel genre and uncertain nature of artistic creation. Crébillon creates libertine characters who can never establish themselves in the long term nor evolve with regards to others. As a conscious novelist, he bases his writing on the play on styles and on the novel tradition in order to compose works in which beings disappear behind their representations. As an artist, he creates a universe composed of moments and shapes, criss-crossed by many paths which never leave it. This play acting is neither gratuitous, nor disordered, nor inoffensive, nor futile : organised by the text, it produces artistic works, it brings all concepts into perspective and it provides an outlet to philosophical perplexity
Sakkouni, Aïcha. "Le couple chez Crébillon fils et l'abbé Prévost." Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040225.
Full textThe study of love as a theme in the work of Crébillon fils and l'abbé Prévost leads to the following distinction : physical love - hearty love - mental love (with the idea of mental aberration). Crébillon fils praises pleasure as part of the ephemeral relations ; he inaugurates a new philosophy of love and creates new terms to define it : the moment, the taste and the caprice. Prevost defends the feeling of love accompanied with fidelity and constancy. In spite of these differences, an obviousness forces itself : "couple" is no longer synonymous with "marriage". A breath of freedom has blown and the men-women relationship is susceptible to this fact. Woman proved herself equal to man and both writers put the stress on her deciding role. The 18th century society hesitates between morals and libertinage. Concerned about realism and verisimilitude, Crébillon fils invite man and woman to improve the definition of virtue and make a better practice of the rules of libertinage. Prevost upholds the moral values though he is aware of the power of libertinage
Cuyl-Candit, Elodie. "La liberté dans l'œuvre de Crébillon fils." Dijon, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995DIJOL002.
Full textCrebillon fils novels show the libertin as a weak individual, completely dominated by his passions and whom aberrations seem the manifestation of an instinct that the society can repress but not gag. This universe is the one of a general sensuality to which the libertins press their conquests to surrender without constraint however, it seems that this sensual freedom is an illusion and that everyone has to justify his faults there is, in libertines conquestes, a crual intention, an evil purpose that aims to study feminine freedom before desire and that finds its excuse in an ostentatious will to make "experiences". This need of justification is the symptom of a tenacious guilt. Shall the individual be tempted when he proved himself too weak to resist? Which is, then, the exact measure of the human freedom? Moreover, the libertin is an individual in exhibition, who is subdued to the judgements of the "public" the "public" is powerful and it is to protect one's reputation, so necessary in that world of appearances, that everyone has to disguise himself, condemned to be always pleasant. There is no more political freedom than social freedom kings and prince are tyrants who require from their subjects, a total submission so that no one could cross their aspirations nor desires, as powerful in prince as they are in ordinary people. The individual is prey to the desperate will to satisfact his passion, whatever it is in alienating the freedom of the others, forgetting that they are his passions themselves that chain him

Full textCrebillon depicts-or builds-a s0ciety which renounces traditional values. He proposes a new art of love which guarantees a life free of all negative aspects. He advocates ephemeral pleasures as having an ethical and social value. Thus, he gives the concept of woman and love a new expression. Love, according to him, is no longer a commitment, it is a simple game of seduction which occurs with level- headed women who do not offer any resistance in the name of virtue. This love, which is only the relinquishment to the natural vigors of desire, permits the development of relationships in which men and women are equal. This natural law must counterbalance the established social laws according to wich there can not exist an equitable relationship between the two sexes. Crebillon, respectfultowards women, places ther wishes on the same level as those of men. He incites them to free themselves from the hypocritical mask of virtue, and to stop hiding or denying ther desires. By this, he invites them to reject the prejudices which impinge on sentimental relationships and the statute of women in particular
