Full textThe thesis work I did consists in a translation of poems from the Latin Anthology with a commentary. The corpus is composed of texts from Luxorius, Symphosius, Coronatus, Caton, Felix, Florentinus and some anonymous authors. Those poems have been written in Africa, under the reign of the Vandals, between Hildiric and Geiseric’s times, and have been gathered in an anthology by the years 530-534, just before the Byzantine conquest. They were writtten in a troubled period that saw a lot of political and social changes and therefore give us many information on those times. They emphasize a sure vitality of the Latin litterature under the reign of the last Vandal kings. The translated poems are of various genres : epigrams strongly inspired from Martial, fictive declamations, riddles, cento, locus uergilianus, poems glorifying kings. Some of the poetic genre represented have obviously been created at that time. The poems reveal a high level degree of latin culture, no doubt taught in the numerous schools of rethoric of this part of the world. The poets imitate, quote or adapt the great latin authors, especially Vergil. The quality of the Latin language employed is most of the time quite close to the classical Latin. Those adaptations are a way for the poets to celebrate the glory and the magnificence of Rome beyond its end, and to declare themselves are Roman poets in front of a “barbarian” world. Furthermore the poems reveal links far more complex than it seems to be, between poets obviously belonging to rich roman and scholastic community. This community used to rule Roman Africa before the Vandals as well as the settle political power

Full textLes termes de couleur, anciens ou modernes, ne peuvent être réduits à la dénomination de catégories servant à diviser le spectre des visibles : cet ensemble lexical unique mérite d’être considéré comme un phénomène linguistique et littéraire à part entière. Pourtant, trop souvent encore, les études portant sur le vocabulaire de la couleur tendent à subordonner le système langagier au phénomène physique, conséquence indirecte de la recherche d’objectivité qu’une vision positiviste attribue aux sciences de la nature. Les termes de couleur sont alors examinés selon des critères qui ne correspondent pas à leur véritable essence – une attitude qui, dans le cas des langues anciennes, mène à des constats d’imprécision injustifiés. Dans les faits, l’emploi des termes de couleur transcende largement la dimension visuelle : leur nature se révèle essentiellement subjective, et ce à plus forte raison dans les textes littéraires, dont se compose l’essentiel du matériel dont nous disposons pour étudier les cas du grec et du latin. Plutôt que de mettre l’accent sur les différences entre conceptions anciennes et modernes, cette étude aborde la couleur en tant que phénomène culturel dans une optique de continuité ; elle vise à montrer que l’analyse littéraire de textes poétiques anciens peut nourrir une réflexion sur la nature des couleurs et sur les processus qui mènent à leur conceptualisation. Après avoir posé les bases d’une réflexion sur la nature de la couleur (Chapitre I), cette thèse étudie le traitement poétique des termes de couleur et, de façon plus générale, l’utilisation des procédés littéraires faisant appel au chromatisme, chez les élégiaques latins (Ovide, Properce, Tibulle et le Corpus Tibullianum) et Catulle, à partir de leurs principaux modèles grecs d’époque alexandrine (Théocrite, Callimaque) et archaïque (poésie lyrique et épopée homérique). L’étude se focalise autour de quatre grands thèmes qui correspondent à des images littéraires développées par les poètes élégiaques – le « petit livre coloré » (Chapitre II), le « portrait en rouge et blanc » (Chapitre III), l’« amant pâle » (Chapitre IV) et la « mer céruléenne » (Chapitre V). Le corpus principal, approché dans l’ordre chronologique inverse, est envisagé sous l’angle de la réécriture. En effet, l’imitation émulative se trouve au cœur du processus créatif des poètes latins, qui élaborent leur identité d’auteurs en réinventant les vers de leurs prédécesseurs ; ce procédé amène les poètes à reprendre et à enrichir des images littéraires colorées, donnant naissance à des topoi et à des associations d’idées qui, au fil des siècles, tendent à se cristalliser sous la forme de termes de couleur abstraits.
Color terms, in modern and ancient languages alike, cannot be reduced to sections of the visible spectrum: this complex and rather unique lexical ensemble deserves our full attention as a linguistic and literary phenomenon. Yet color vocabulary is still too often regarded as an imperfect means to describe visual perceptions, a system that fails to achieve the precision of optical science. This idea, a consequence of the quest for objectivity which natural sciences are hoped to provide, does not reflect the true nature of color terms and induces an important bias in their study: as a result, many classical philologists have come to judge Greek and Latin color vocabularies as underdeveloped and their use by ancient authors as clumsy. The purpose of color terms is not limited to description in terms of chromatic acuteness: in fact, this vocabulary proves to be subjective by nature. This is even truer about its literary use, and literature constitutes the main material available to study color terms in Greek and Latin. Instead of looking for differences between ancient and modern conceptions, this study focuses on continuity and on color as a cultural phenomenon; its aim is to show that the analysis of ancient poetry can contribute to a more general reflection on the nature of colors and to our understanding of how they become concepts. Beginning with a chapter devoted to the nature of color (Chapter I), this dissertation studies the poetic treatment of color terms and, more generally, the use of literary devices pertaining to chromatism in Roman Elegists (Ovid, Propertius, Tibullus and the Corpus Tibullianum) and Catullus, as well as in their Greek models from the Hellenistic (Theocritus, Callimachus) and Archaic (lyric poetry and Homeric epics) periods. The study focuses on four poetic figures – the “little, colorful book” (Chapter II), the “red and white portrait” (Chapter III), the “pale lover” (Chapter IV) and the “cerulean sea” (Chapter V). Each of these chapters surveys the meaning of Latin vocabulary and expressions through the Greek verses they refer to. The corpus is approached in reverse chronological order, with more specific attention paid to intertextuality and rewriting: imitatio plays in fact a crucial role in the creative process of Latin poets, who construct their identity as authors as they interpret and transform pre-existing text. The colorful imageries that are thus being developed over centuries give birth to topoi and strong associations between emotions and realities that tend to crystallize in the form of abstract color terms.

Full textThis thesis deals with the renaissance of the Latin elegy in the humanist era, at the beginning of the 15th century, in Siena, when Giovanni Marrasio composed the first collection of elegies in Renaissance Latin, Angelinetum, with love as its inspiration, in addition to numerous diverse poems, his carmina varia. This style of expression had not been in use for several centuries prior to this. The exclusive use of the elegiac distich lends unity to the wide range of themes and subjects in the poet's work. This leads one to ponder the conception of the Latin elegy as illustrated by Marrasio : if he reappropriates many themes and topics characteristic of ancient elegies, he integrates several literary legacies from various earlier periods in his poetry. All these borrowings are skillfully combined into original poetry by means of clever purposeful imitation. The methods of this imitation are analysed in full: literary influence is thus expressed by allusion, quotation and translation. The analysis of Marrasian imitation also allows the poet's new contributions to the elegiac genre to be evaluated, in particular his use of Petrarchist themes and combination of the elegy and the epigram. As a man of letters, Marrasio took part, in certain literary debates of his time, on topics such as inspiration or the value of poetry, which find novel expression in his poems, identifiable thanks to a metapoetic writing style. Marrasio turns out to be both an imitator and an innovator in the renaissance of the elegiac genre

Full textThe preverb can be defined as "the prefix of a verb". It is appropriate to apprehend it like an "element of relation" bringing into contact an "entity-located" and an "entity-landmark" within the framework of a process. A confrontative study of preverbs ad-, in-, ob and per- in the class of the verbs of agentive movement makes it possible to characterize the specific value of each one. We note in particular that ob- knows another value that the one of "face-to-face" : the "covering", which seems closer to original meaning of the preverb. In addition, the difference between "approach" and "entry" is not enough to return account of what opposes ad- and in- : the first one often underlines the initial distance between entity-located and entity-landmark, while the "double limit" can apply to an easy access or give a touch of hostility. Owing to the semantic study of the preverbs, we can establish some characteristics which concern more largely the preverb: constitution of paradigmatic series, semantic principle of affinity, continuum between "internal range" and "external range", importance of the geometrical representation lent to the referent of the landmark. A last questioning relates to the links between the preverb and the verbal base. It seems that it is necessary to give up lending to the preverb of an inchoative verb an aspectual value: it is rather the range of the assignment of the subject by the predicated transformation which is characterized by the preverb. In the parasynthesis, the prefixal element seems to be a functional preverb. Syntactically, duplication does not seem to be a free alternative, but always finds a justification, whether it concerns the expressivity whether the constraints related to the semantics of the roles. Not being neither a preposition nor a "co-verb", the preverb largely deserves a specific study. The preverbation, processus of lexical creation, fits then in the more general question of the modeling of reality through the language
Rouquette, Enimie. "Theodulfica Musa, étude, édition critique et traduction des poèmes de Théodulf d'Orléans." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA136.
Full textTheodulf of Orléans (∼ 760 ?-821) was a bishop and scholar who, as part of the Carolingian Renaissance, actively engaged in the reforms of his time. He left a copious poetical oeuvre in Latin, comprising some seventy poems for an approximate total of four thousand and seven hundred lines. This thesis presents, in the first volume, a systematic study which follows the order of a medieval collection, known to us thanks to the editio princeps published in 1646 by J. Sirmond. This study aims at analysing Theodulf's poems by relating them with the intellectual, cultural and historical context of the Carolingian Renaissance. It also endeavours to bring to light Theodulf's patristic sources. Starting with the many paraphrases of extracts from Isidore of Seville, Gregory the Great or Augustine, it purposes to discover what is at stake in this practice, exegetically, theologically, ecclesiologically, but also poetically speaking. The second volume comprises a new critical edition of the poems, based for the main part on the editio princeps and on a new collation of some sixty manuscripts. This edition comes with the first complete translation of Theodulf's poems into French. Three layers of notes are used to clarify some passages, document the scriptural references and indicate the sources, classical as well as patristic. The appendices that close the second volume aim at establishing a link between the study and the poems. By associating study, edition, translation and appendices, the thesis endeavours to give a better access to a complex, subtle poetry, one that illustrates the protean quality of the Carolingian Renaissance

Full textGeorge Buchanan, Scottish protestant and humanist, taught latin in France and lived at court and among intellectual circles, then, back in Scotland, he became Mary Stuart and James VI's preceptor. Famous of his Paraphrasis of the Psaulms, he also excelled in the writing of event poems, among which the Epigrams, published in 1584. This collection also reflects the debates about imitation in the XVI century and on the aesthetic of epigrammatic writing. The humanist poet, double of the antique orator, writer of brilliant pointed epigrams characterized by their brevity and expressive efficiency, contributes, through his essentially epidictic poetry, to the elaboration of the city. We are here proposing a publication of the Epigrams, annotated, with a translation in French together with a commentary around the use of models in literary creation, the stylistic characteristics of the pointed epigram and the political and social function of the event poetry

Full textThis thesis offers a parallel exploration of the lyrical works composed by two neo-latin poets: Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503), a Neapolitan statesman, and Jean Salmon Macrin (1490-1557), a court poet native of Loudun; it endeavors to determine how the figure of the Muse personifies their desire to write and the reflexive nature of their poetry. Prolegomena are dedicated to retracing the story of the motive. The first part then studies how far each poet falls within the humanist theories of poetics pertaining to the questions of inspiration, the aptum of genre and ethos, and the social status of poetry. The second part analyzes the imaginary representations of the translatio Musarum and its personal and national stakes, moving onwards to the depiction of the private, familiar universe, a crucial theme for these two pioneers of conjugal lyricism. Finally, the third part addresses the construction of the poetic persona and the representation of self through the Muse, first within the uncertainties of the poet’s calling or career, then through the expression of the poet’s flaws and desires

Full textThis thesis aims at comparing different epic, didactic and elegiac writings from the Augustan period. Although the beginnings of literary works have been extensively studied, comparisons are still needed. We try to understand the principles at work in the beginning of poetry writings. We also explain the variations observed between them.By placing Augustan texts in a tradition, we notice that there are characteristic differences between the rites of epic and didactic proems. These differences are so important that they contribute to the identification of a work's genre.Then mobilizing elements that comparisons reveal as markers for their recurrence, but also the tools of pragmatics and the concept of paratext, we highlight the characters which, beyond programmatic representativity, qualify the poems opening elegiac collections as beginnings.It appears that only Ovid describes his position in relation to epic, by playing with beginning codes of that genre, because he wrote at a time when the elegiac genre had matured and when the proem of the Aeneid had established a Latin model for epic proems. But at the time of the first book of Propertius and Tibullus, no specific ritual of beginning is established for elegiacs. Elegy's relationships to epic do not appear in the form of the beginning and they will be described more explicitly in metaliterary terms in the following books. Generally speaking, the first beginning is less metapoetic than the beginnings of intermediate books

Full textThis interdisciplinary dissertation uses text and image studies, intertextuality and metapoetics to analyze the relationships between vision and diction in ekphraseis understood as texts devoted to works of art, and particularly in Catullus’s canonical poem 64. Poem 64 has puzzled many critics by its “disobedient ekphrasis” of a coverlet: not only does it scarcely describe its subject, but it turns into a long monologue by Ariadne, the main figure woven into the coverlet. I argue that, far from disregarding the coverlet, Catullus elaborates on a topos of Hellenistic ekphrastic epigrams that measures an artwork’s value by its illusionist capacity to “seem about to speak” and “come to life”. My extensive classification of the epigrammatic variants of this topos reveals its presence in Catullus through specific keywords. Ariadne’s representation on the coverlet is so lifelike that it starts to speak. Instead of following the critical tradition which considers Ariadne’s speech as another instance of epic or tragic monologue, I analyze it as a major Catullan innovation, in dialogue with the aesthetic debates of his day. Bringing together Hellenistic and Roman figurative arts and literatures sheds a new light on Catullan poetics and, more generally, on the reception of Alexandrian aesthetics in Rome and on Catullus’s influence on posterior Latin poets
Valensi, Margaux. "La politique du chant dans les oeuvres de Pablo Neruda et de Louis Aragon : l’art comme conquête." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BOR30046.
Full textFacing the great historical dramas of the 20th century, Communist poets and friends Louis Aragon (1897-1982) and Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) showcased in their respective bodies of work a certain conception of poetry and of art as a conquest, which they named “canto” (in French “chant”). Although the term denotes the primeval relation between music and poetry, this dissertation postulates that the canto is not to be reduced to the sole musical or textual contexts. What both poets term “canto” is rather akin to the basic unity of art and life, and finds itself applicable to all artistic fields. In this sense, this dissertation first and foremost defends a vision of the canto as energy, which not only rests at the basis of textual creation but which also informs all other means of artistic expression, especially visual and plastic arts. The aim of this study is therefore to question what the term “canto” purportedly signifies in critical context. It does so by inspecting how the two oeuvres under scrutiny are relentlessly committed to shaping new political and esthetical communities, both nationally and internationally. Firstly approaching Aragon and Neruda’s works from an exterior viewpoint, the dissertation sheds light on the various elements that are generative of the canto by soliciting two areas which fundamentally connect poetical and political spaces: that of literary history and that of translation. The study then proceeds to examine the poetical works themselves through the notion of energy. If the defining contours of the canto remain elusive, it is precisely because it cannot be characterized as a form or as a genre in itself, but rather stands as the sentient experience of a shared presence. The overflowing energy emanating from the canto thereby begs the question of representation, whose frames it constantly defies in order to offer itself rather as an expression. This last notion serves as the final prism through which the canto is considered in this study, as something essentially exceeding the mere art of poetry and which interrogates the modalities of the visual. This concluding demonstration relies on Aragon and Neruda’s critical essays on art as well as rare books illustrated by muralist painters (Siqueiros, Rivera, Venturelli and Léger); it carefully explores the plastic prolongations of the canto (in book, wall or tapestry form) in order to further identify the common goals and implications of this literary entity, along with those of some major plastic arts achievements of the 20th century

Full textThe thesis presents a comparative study of the long narrative poems composed about the first Italian wars (1494- 1514) under the reigns of Charles VIII and Louis XII by Neolatin and French poets : the De Neapolitana Fornoviensique Victoria by Fausto Andrelini and the Voyage de Naples by André de La Vigne, the Carmen de expugnatione Genuensi by Valerand de La Varanne and the Voyage de Gênes by Jean Marot, the Chilias heroica de régis Ludovici duodecimi in Venetos Victoria by Antoine Forestier and the Voyage de Venise by Jean Marot. The first part puts those works back into their historical context, and their authors among the humanistic Court, while specifying under which conditions they were circulated and received. The second part places them in the topical historiographical production and analyses their ambition to immortalize the deeds of contemporaries by their form and style. The third part confronts the French and Neolatin practices of the grand genre - epic, prosimetrum -, by studying these works' dispositio, elocutio and models, particularly in the battle scenes and the depiction of royal entries. Finally, the fourth part addresses the political, moral and religious dimensions of those works, which reveal the poets' commitment in the ideological debates of their time (national consciousness, representation of the monarch), their purpose to enlighten the reader, and the affirmation of their dignity as authors. This study is completed by an edition of Andrelini's poem based on five manuscripts and two prints (1503 and 1513, 1078 1. ), with its translation, and the transcription and the translation of the Carmen (1508) and of the Chilias (1510)

Full textThis dissertation is both a global and detailed study dedicated to collections of funeral verse published in Italy, France and the British Isles between 1587 and 1644. It follows a comparative approach, for several reasons. Firstly, because these works were written and published in several languages. Secondly, because of the number of engravings they contain and the close relationship they often bear to the fine arts. Since many of the poems printed within these works were first pinned to funeral hearses or catafalques, they must be considered in the light of funerary art and architecture. Thirdly, these works warranted a sociological and historical analysis because of their collective nature: they are the product of a group of authors, whose ideals and aspirations they embody. The initial part of this study presents the development of this type of funerary commemoration from its origins in late Quattrocento Italy to its later expressions in mid-sixteenth-Century England and France. The second chapter examines the evolution of these collections from the 1580s to the 1640s, as well as the identity of the deceased and their commemorators. The third chapter gives an overview of the great formal and rhetorical variety of the poems published in these collections. The case studies in chapter four illustrate how and why groups of authors assembled in order to conceive collections of funeral poetry. Finally, the last chapter is a brief survey of the relationships that these works bear with different types of funeral ceremonies

Full textThe aim of the author is to study the Poetics of enargeia (the quality of "evidence") in latin epics from republican to flavian age : Livius Andronicus’s Odyssey, Naevius’s Punic War, Ennius’s Annals, Virgil’s Aeneid, Lucan’s Pharsalia, Silius Italicus’s Punic War. After defining the antique senses of image, its rhetorical stakes and its generic rules in epic, we complete this theoretical approach, studying the founding authors, which brings to the fore some traits inherent in homeric Poetics : its mimetic, rational, "realistic" aspect. But, according to the evidence given by imperial rhetors, it is a recognized fact that this traditional conception of mimèsis transforms itself in the 1st century A. D. : Longinus and Quintilian suggest that image becomes more and more subjective, frees itself from "realistic" convention and gains a greater inventive freedom. Therefore, comparing the works of our corpus with these facts, we try to define each author’s respective contributions at the renewal of the epic enargeia. In fact, it turns out that, since it is more creative, the epic Roman enargeia still transgresses and makes light of the generic epic laws and tends to open itself up from the "real" to offer subjective and inventive visions. In this respect, Virgil seems particularly like a precursor

Full textBeginning with the vocabulary of memory that characterizes elegiac text production, and with the allegories that translate it metaphorically, this study then uncovers the self-reflexive value of the " I "'s and of the mistress's images, around which the elegy is structured. Similarly, the subjective time that organizes the text appears to be a frame within which reflexivity occurs. In-depth theoretical reading - from the perspective of Aristotle's Poetics, Horace's Art of Poetry and On the Sublime - affords us a better understanding of the art of the elegiac poets, and of the distinctive aspects of the genre they practiced. We can thus sketch out an evolution of the elegiac discourse from Catullus' work through to Ovid's Amores, the last work to adhere strictly to the Latin erotic elegiac code

Full textGesta Apolloni is a re-elaborated version of 792 leonine hexameters of the first 8 chapters of Historia Apollonii regis Tyri, and it was published in 1884 by E. Dümmler in Monumenta Germaniae Historica, in the second volume of the section Poetae latini aevi Carolini. Due to its dependence from its hypotext, the first chapter of the thesis is about Historia Apollonii regis Tyri, the issues that the novel raises, and the possible answers that the critics gave to them. A general analysis of the cultural and historical background where Gesta Apollonii was written and also the story of the monastery where it was found, have been discussed in the second chapter; moreover, an important part of this chapter is dedicated to the study of the marginal and interlinear glosses of which the text is full. Part of these glosses was found in a codex of Boece’s De Consolatione Philophiae, written circa 1000 by abbot Froumund De Tegernsee; originally the codex was in the Fürstliche Öttingen-Wallersteinische Bibliothek in Bavaria, today it can be found in the Biblioteka Jagiellońska, in Cracow.In the third chapter more specifically, Gesta Apollonii text is compared to the novel -which it is based on- and to the several quotes from the Latin and Greek classical world. A paragraph is also dedicated to the possible historical accuracy of the characters mentioned in the story. After the thematic analysis of the text, the fourth chapter concerns the examination of the codicological and paleographic features of the manuscript and the presentation of the language, the style, and the metre of the work. In the fifth and last chapter, there is a French translation of Gesta Apollonii

Full textThis study results from the observation of a paradox : Juno, great Roman goddess, part of the Capitoline triade, has fought the Aeneas' project to establish a settlement in Latium, was hostile to Romulus' apotheosis and has also protected the Carthaginian army of Hannibal. Juno's hostility was told by the poets since Ennius, up to the augustan poets, but can also be studied in the cultual practice, owing to the fact that she was subject to euocatio-rituel several times as in Veii in 395 BC. The ritual of euocatio has been used in order to calm ennemies' divinity and to integrate it in the Roman pantheon. Moreover, Juno's anger implies to be examined simultaneously with her final reconciliation with Rome. Finally, this hostility and reconciliation underwent some updates during the Roman history : Etruscan, Punic or Civil wars. Our approach follows a chronological plan in order to analyze the phenomenon's dynamics while studying both religious and literary facts

Full textLatin verses were not an extra duty for all students in the nineteenth century. They had a recreational role in teaching humanities, as they favoured the study of French poets, sometimes the contemporary ones, through translations. They were in deed an introduction to the belles-lettres for some students like Sainte-Beuve, Musset, Baudelaire, Rimbaud and Bourget. Periodicals and neo-Latin publications, which were not all bound to school, followed a humanist tradition favouring epigrams and versified games. These publications also reflected the evolution of poetic forms : the slowing of epic and fable, the health of civic ode and didactic and descriptive poems, search for a synthesis between aesthetics of belles-lettres and philosophy sensualist, fame of Lamartine’s romanticism. In this tradition, Baudelaire's poem "Franciscae meae laudes", whose success was bound to that of the decadent Latin in French literature, was a special case. During the second half of the nineteenth century, the 1750-1830’s period was considered as the golden age of the humanities. It was the apogee of the Sainte-Barbe’s institution and the concours général and corresponded to a generation of students and teachers who arrived to political responsibilities in the late eighteenth century and returned to power after the Revolution. The poetry of this period had a common inspiration, in Latin or in French
Meunier, Delphine. "L’écriture épique chez Claudien : préserver l’épopée au IVe siècle ap. J.-C." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040141.
Full textThere is a clear epic vein in Claudian's apparently heterogeneous work, and it appears in a variety of ways. The poet clearly considers himself to be a uates, an heir to Homer, Ennius and Virgil, even though his subject matter is historical, not mythological. The language he uses is also strongly influenced by that of the epic genre, as exemplified by the use of a specifically epic lexicon and the resort to homeric similes. The way he builds on and renews traditional epic motifs (battle scenes, dreams, omens, miracles, prophecies, games ...) reveals the influence of the epic genre on his writings as well. Even though the ethics of heroism are undercut by the rise of Christian values, the divine and mythological figures that can be broached trough a typological reading are proof enough that the world of the epic is still very much present. All these elements contribute to a work that celebrates Roma Aeterna and Natura and is all at once epic – poetic and political. It thus appears that the epic vein is what unifies the corpus, and that the carmina maiora should be read as a political epic
Gauthier, Élise. "Entre vita activa et vita contemplativa, la "vita poeticia" de Nicolas Barthélémy de Loches, un moine-poète du début de la Renaissance française." Thesis, Tours, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018TOUR2010.
Full textAlthough he inspired famous contemporaries like François Rabelais or Clément Marot, and spent time with leading humanists, although he wrote a new Latin tragedy form many times reprinted and a chronicle about the reign of Louis XII familiar to historians, very little is known about the Neo-Latin poet Nicolas Barthélemy de Loches. Collecting, correcting and completing existing data about the man and his writings is necessary, as well as the reconstruction of the social, literary and historical environment in which he lived and wrote, in order to reevaluate the poetic diversity and richness of his work. Such data are enough to show that Barthélemy’s works were not written by a cloistered monk, but rather by a true humanist involved in the pedagogical, monastic and evangelical reforms of his time. The edition of one of the most representative poetic collections written by Barthélemy (a varied collection printed in 1520 in Paris) supports and confirms this interpretation
Caltot, Pierre-Alain. "Voix du poète, voix du prophète. Poétique de la prophétie dans la Pharsale de Lucain." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040174.
Full textStarting from the double meaning of the latin word uates, this study aims to define the links between poetry and prophecy in Lucan’s Pharsalia. Since Antiquity indeed, the prophet has been both a soothsayer and a person speaking for somebody else, especially for a god. First, we build a typology of the prophetic figures in the Pharsalia and we compare them with literary characters from epic and tragedy. Lucan conjures three kinds of prophets : omniscient ones, prophets who use divinatory technics (e.g. astrology, haruspicy, enthusiasm) and those whose inspiration comes from the Underworld. We then look at the prophetic speeches delivered by the characters against the oracular voice of the epic narrator. We study narrative prolepses of the epic that anticipate Roman history (especially the history of the Civil Wars), and through which Lucan offers a cyclical vision of history. After defining the prophetic matter of the narrative voice, we analyse Lucan’s prophetic manner from a narratological and a stylistic perspective. Lastly, we switch from a poetic definition of prophetic voices in the Pharsalia to a metapoetic study. The prophet characters indeed serve as surrogates of the poet and literally utter his voice, thus referring to the etymology of the word. The role of Lucan’s prophets is therefore to formulate an Ars poetica, in accordance with the poet’s Weltanschauung – a vision articulated by an aesthetics of disruption which encapsulates the celestial macrocosm, the organic microcosm and the epic hexameter

Full textThe present thesis studies the last poem written by the humanist Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503) in the latefifteenth century/beginning of the sixteenth century : De hortis Hesperidum, a georgic on citrus gardens.Some descriptive chapters, followed by a more analytical and multidisciplinary study, cast light on thisoverlooked testament of Napolitan humanism. The poem is at first considered through its various readingsover time and in particular through its influence on the literature of European classical age. Then, theversification and the textual history of the poem are assessed and the principles of the current edition areestablished, thanks to a careful examination of its testimonies. Since De hortis Hesperidum is the first moderntext to imitate Vergil’s way of composing didactic poetry, the study deciphers the recreation of the georgicgenre at the begining of the modern period, by considering narrations patterns, digression’s role, the way ofpresenting the dedicatee or the poet himself. De hortis Hesperidum is also a scientific poem that demonstratesan early interest for citrus trees, by establishing their varieties and describing their culture, with an obviousattraction for ornemental gardens that foreteils their popularity in sixteenth century Naples and Italy,foreshadowing the beginnings of manierist gardens. Finally the poem pictures the aristocratical life of thePontanian academy. It gives the aspect of an ideal time, kept safe from the commotion of the Italian wars,thanks to the poet. In addition to this study, the thesis countains the first complete French translation of thetext and a new edition in which spelling has been corrected on the only known manuscript of the poem
