Full textThis study offers a synthetic approach to La Fontaine’s poetics. The corpus comprises the complete works of the poet. The starting point of the analysis is the notion of diversity. In a short, entirely theoretical first part there is an attempt to evacuate diversity from the intuitive approach (« mixture of genres, styles and modes ») in order to turn it into a rigorous analytical tool. This aims at redefining the notion of genre. On a primary level, it describes all the phenomena of diversity, without resorting to the categories of style, mode or tone. On a secondary level, it appears that diversity can be described more accurately through the rigorously defined notions of variety and variation. In the second part, a descriptive model of the Lafontainian text is conceived, which takes the form of a rational genesis that follows the trio inventio, dispositio, elocutio. La Fontaine scholars have previously demonstrated the value of the study of rhetoric in understanding the craft of La Fontaine : the chapter on the invention of diversity sums up those observations while integrating them into the model. Next it is argued that, as variation is the basic and omnipresent principle of composition for the various works of the poet, the structure of the Fables and Tales comes out in a fresh way. A chapter that puts the model into its historical perspective is added and shows how important variety and variation were in the 17th-Century reader’s expectations. The last chapter puts forward new considerations on the notion of tempérament and details the various techniques used by La Fontaine to give his works their final gloss

Full textAs fables are made up of various elements first and then because they are a microcosm, a "petit monde", related to the marcocosm, they generale their own critical method : every single fable must be scrutinized, then confronted with others; besides the questio of the arrangement of the collections and of the books must be raised. In short the very title of the work fables choisies, mises en vers par m. De la fontaine must be accounted for. A thematic analysis can't go without a poetical analysis. The theme that comes first is the concept of inheritance which brings about the one of natural qualities. The latter leads us to question the idea of imitation that appears under numerous aspects : imitation as a whole, revenge, artistic creation, plagiarism, literary pratice, repetitive structures, double or twin fables, nest of fables, implicit poetic arts and dedicative fables. The theme of imitation conjures up the ideas of illusion and representation. Moreover la fontaine's crait is founded on the concepts of appropriation, work and technique, grace, piety, imperfection, childhood and education, play, rhetoric and speech, animals of course, epicureanism and myth. The choice of all of these subjects is grounded on the process of thinking about literature. Il deals with illusion, the nature of poetry and the role

Full textThe contrasting and paradoxical answers offered in academic critiques of the last third of the XXth century, regarding the question of the author's place, suggest that we retrace the history of our literary history, from the early genre of the Author's Life, elaborated during the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries and transformed continually thereafter. La Fontaine provides the example of a writer whose critical fortune intermingles with his biographical account in an altogether significant, contradictory and suggestive manner. In the waning of every great figure, this famous fabulist leads a double life : the decline of his historical life, related in the minutest detail by biographers, is intertwined an existence at times likely and at times fabulous, whereupon the biographical person gives way to the legendary figure. The biographical mass, comprised of notices, praises and portraits from the XVIIth, XVIIIth and XIXth centuries, built up his notoriety, whilst influencing permanently and radically the reception and critique of his works, which subsequently took on a “fables” structure to be unconvered and analysed. Natural ingenuity or calculated guile, the "Bonhomme" figure is the result of a complex legend whose study of its constitution and diffusion enables one to follow the elaboration of each component and their successive crystallization. The goal of this study, in part editorial and in part analytical, is all the stronger given as there has only been, up to now, punctual and partial approaches to this theoretical question, addressed from the point of view of the sociology of literature. In opting for the intellectual and material definition of a genre of the Author's Life, whilst inserting this genre in the intermediary between the Lives of Renaissance artists and post revolution biographies, this thesis will challenge the hypothesis of a generic definition of the model and of an aesthetic approach to the corpus

Full textDisciple of terence, friend and admirer of reputed greek dramatists of the seventeeth century: namely moliere and racine. La fontaine makes his first in the theatre. L'eunuque his first play, was a mere adaptation of the latin eunuque: "a bad copy of an excellent original". (in his warning). It was naver played. Clymene, a dialogue story, was not intended for representation: a mixed litterary and psychological analysis. Astree, a tragedy, is an adaptation of the astree of honore d'urfe. After six representations it was received with epigrams and mocked songs. Galatee and achille, two unfinished tragedies, considered by la fontaine as mere theatrical exercices. The former is inspired by metamorphoses of ovide but trenchised. The second one is drawn from the iliade of homere. Particularities of both essays: a stylistic effort and a mastering of versification. Daphne is an opera inspired by the metamorphoses. His goal was to compete with quinault and to please the king. Setbacks: thesee of quinault won the contest. A ballet play: les rieurs du beau-richard: a comedy inspired of the daily life of the inhabitants of chateau-thierry. The second part: the fabulist is a great dramatist: the old didactic fable becomes dramatic. It is a sort of a miniature drama. The fables book includes many comedies and tragedies. Conclusion: the theatre of la fontaine is a missed vocation and an unfulfilled dream. It is pure foolishness to talk about the theatre of la fontaine. However, le thatrical character of his fables compensates for his failure in this field

Full textHere our study aims at stating or proving La Fontaine's ideas about women. That is to say, what La Fontaine was seeking in women, what he expected for them and what were his convictions about their values. La Fontaine generally portraits women through a two-faced picture. These two faces are contradictory contrasted or ambiguous: now satirical now kind. Under La Fontaine's moralizing role, feminine characters are depicted in a widely negative way. Although La Fontaine first appears as a misogynist, we can see undeniable differences between the latter and the misogynists. Indeed, La Fontaine agrees on the fact that both sexes, men and women, naturally share the same qualities and the same faults. In fact, the aim of our study is to know what is the true value of women according to La Fontaine. We can notice through our analysis that it does not reside in physical beauty, maternity, love or maternal devotion, nor in virtues. According to him, this value lies in the ability to atone for a sin or a fault. Feminity does not mean weakness, so he is expecting a woman able to expiate her fault, to overcome her sin through sufferings, and able to find back the true value of love like the character Psyché

Full textThe aim of this thesis lies in having a better understanding of the evolution of the fable by discovering la fontaine's contemporary fabulistes. The first part is dedicated to a general presentation of the fabulistes and a short summary of the history of the fable. The second part of our work deals with poetics of the fable. Although the fable of the time does not equal the poetical quality of great genres like tragedy, it has something in common with them. Then the characteristics of the fable as a genre will be under scrutiny : brevity,morality,definition of the fable. The third part offers a classification of fables, made according to the taste of this period. In the first place, the "fable morale" aims at teaching a certain wisdom to help people in their lives and to improve their behaviours. The "fable pedagogique", variant of the "fable morale", applies to children. As regards the "fable galante", it is focused on love, its hazards, its delights, its sufferings. The themes and the expressions of the "fable galante" are identical with those of the "poesie galante", which shows that the "fable galante" is deeply rooted in the realm of poetry and follows faithfully the taste of the "societe mondaine". While the "fable galante" is related to the "societe mondaine", the "fable politique" is settled in the political situation of the time. The fable reflcts the international situation at the end of louis xiv's reign, period when the france was waging war against most european countries. To sum up,we must return to our fabulsites so that we can fully understand the situation of the fable in the second half of the seventeenth century and in addition to that, widen our field of investigation on the seventeenth french literatury. We have to add that the fable of the time claims the autonomy of french literatury toward the authority of the ancient fable, incorporating itself in the poetic realm with an imagination and a variety which are not to be found in the ancient fable

Full textAllegorical by nature, the fable, in la fontaine's hands, extends as well into the realm of prosopopoeia. In the musical score of the fables, the word is written on several slaves, reserved in turn for the characters, the narrator, or the mo ralist. And it is not uncommon for on of the voices to be transcribed onto a different stave, or for several voices to proceed together according to some subtle inner counterpoint. In desperate situations the characters find within themselves the leaven of natural eloquence. "i hate oratorical tirade s" said la fontaine, railing against tedious, deliberative passages, pretentious conceits of any kind. Above all, he rejects the inopportune word which fails to take into account either the circumstances or the audience. The narrator has at his command all the leisure of informal conversation; he converses with his reader as he does with his characters and is marvellously in touch with all the ressources of varietas; "gaiety" is second nature to him. To dazzling displays of oratory the prefers the virtues of story-telling. The fabulist-moralist is the supreme creator of this allegorical universe. As well as this indirect rhetoric, his words often penetrate into the territory of the narrative, to culminate in a broad moral of "a hundred diverse fragments"
